Ela Curry & Cocktails is now targeting the beginning of 2026 for its second location at CityPlace in downtown West Palm Beach — not this fall. What Now confirmed the timeline directly with co-owner Andy Dugard. (Correction: our October 11 report said the opening was expected this fall; the verified timeline from the owners is early 2026.)
The new spot will serve the same menu as the Palm Beach Gardens flagship: chaat and street snacks like tuna bhelpuri and pani puri; curries including butter chicken, Kerala beef short rib, and vegetable korma; and "Not Curries" such as tandoori chicken, duck leg biryani, and a tandoori cab hanger steak skewer — plus a full cocktail program.
The restaurant comes from Chef Pushkar Marathe, a James Beard semifinalist, and Dugard. The same duo is also behind Stage Kitchen & Bar, whose second location at Restaurant Row in Boca Raton is still in the works.
