Ok, guys… I am freaking out! Cheetie Kumar is coming to Five Points! Kumar and partner Paul Siler will open Ajja in Raleigh’s Five Points neighborhood. It will be adjacent to Anisette Sweet Shop. In addition to the indoor space, there will an outdoor dining area that features a covered patio and a large fire pit overlooking Raleigh’s skyline.
Dinner With Kids
As Raleigh Weekend’s resident mama, I am always looking for family-friendly activities which is why I wanted to share this list of local restaurants that are great for dining with small children. Gonza Tacos Y Tequila is one of my faves! You can’t beat the atmosphere, food options, and speed of service. Cheers to family fun!
