Darwin's to Open a New Location in Royal Bengal Space in Cambridge

It looks like the folks behind a pair of sandwich places in Cambridge are opening a third, with this one being just east of Central Square near MIT.

A hearing notice within the City of Cambridge website mentions that Darwin's Ltd. is planning to open on Mass. Ave., with the address being the same as that of Royal Bengal. The note says that the new restaurant would have seating for 19 and would be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week, and that no alcohol would be served. Based on the other two Darwin's locations (Mt. Auburn Street in Harvard Square and Cambridge Street west of Inman Square), the outlet on Mass. Ave. would likely have an array of hot and cold sandwiches as well as tea and coffee.

The hearing will take place on Tuesday, August 6, with the city considering Darwin's request for a common victualer license.

[December 10 update: The Boston Hospitality and Tourism Industry Blog mentions that Royal Bengal is now closed.]

[September 25, 2014 update: Eater Boston mentions that the new Darwin's in Central Square may be opening in late October.]

[October 27, 2014 update: According to its Facebook page, the new location of Darwin's on Mass. Ave. is now open.]

The address for this upcoming dining spot is 313 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 02139. The website for Darwin's is at http://www.darwinsltd.com/
