Gulzar’s Indian Cuisine has relocated next door to its original spot in the former location of Flyboy’s Deli in downtown Dayton.
The restaurant first opened its doors on North Patterson Boulevard, across the street from Day Air Ballpark, in May 2022.
“That was the start of something really beautiful,” said Deepika Singh, who manages the restaurant with her husband, Jay. “Dayton really made us feel welcomed. Almost immediately, we knew that we needed a bigger space.”
Their new space at 219 N. Patterson Blvd. is three times bigger than it’s original — now offering two private dining areas, a bar, a larger buffet with ice cream and an outdoor patio.

Table 33 Executive Chef Keith Taylor recalled working as a 25 year old line cook at l’Auberge in 1995 when the Dayton Peace Accords was signed — ending the war in Bosnia.
He was a part of a team that cooked for Richard Holbrooke, the chief U.S. peace negotiator who served as assistant secretary of state for European and Canadian affairs at the time, along with several other key players such as Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic, Serbian President Slobodan Milohostsevic and Croatian President Franjo Tudjman.
“We served in the bistro and that door was kept shut,” Taylor said. “They ate in the private party room upstairs, but there was Secret Service all around, so nobody could get near where they were. Every stairwell, even back in the kitchen, had an agent at it.”
The menu that night included a pumpkin bisque served in a carved out squash bowl, lobster medallions and beef tournedos.
As the NATO Parliamentary Assembly was in town over the weekend, Taylor cooked for the Swedish delegation.

Nikki Stargel, president of the Oregon District Business Association and general manager of Salar Restaurant and Lounge, said business was good Saturday evening. The NATO delegates were particularly fond of steak and gin.
Check Your Head Smoke Shop & Gifts manager Cole Shirley said a few “suits” stopped by to buy cigars.

Here’s what I’ve been eating 🍽️
Over the weekend, my husband and I met friends in Uptown Centerville. Our first stop was Agave & Rye where I ate a taco flight featuring:
- The Alderman (carne asada steak, street corn salad, cotija cheese and spicy chile de arbol salsa)
- The Plain Jane (seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, aged white cheddar, diced tomatoes and sour cream)
- The Swipe Right (herbed chicken, sweet and spicy bacon, aged white cheddar, salsa and sour cream)
My favorite was The Alderman! I’m embarrassed to admit it, but this was my first time at Agave & Rye. We typically order from their ghost kitchen on DoorDash.
Our next stop was Meridien where we shared a French fry flight featuring dill pickle, sweet Cajun and honey aleppo pepper fries. Each flavor of fries came with their own special sauce. My favorite was the dill pickle fries served with a dill pickle ranch.
