The former India House Restaurant Credit: Sally Pollak

India House Restaurant, which opened in the 1980s at 207 Colchester Avenue in Burlington, closed last month, confirmed Peter Yee, president of Yellow Sign Commercial, the company handling the sale of the business.

The restaurant served local diners Indian food — tandoori chicken, vegetable pakoras, keema mattar — before cuisines from Vietnam, Nepal and Tibet were readily available at Burlington-area restaurants.

The restaurant’s equipment, including seating booths, pots and pans, an ice machine, and an eight-burner stove, is for sale for $10,000, Yee said. The restaurant space, complete with a hood system, is available for rent with a five-year minimum lease.

“It’s turn-key enough where you’re not having to redesign the whole place,” Yee said. “You get some new equipment, paint, put a new sign up front, and you can open.”

  1. I think someone should buy the Indian house restaurant and do something to feed the homeless a lot of people starve everyday kids 💔if we had the funds we would be happy to do this .
