It looks like an Indian restaurant that said farewell to Cambridge last fall is returning to an iconic space not too far away.
According to a source, Tanjore--which had been located on Eliot Street in Harvard Square--is looking to open back up in the former People's Republik space on Mass. Ave. on the western edge of Central Square. A Cambridge Day article hints that the situation is a bit complex, as the People's Republik license may be going to the upcoming New Republik Bar which is taking over the former Rising space in Inman Square, though a "pocket license" at that Cambridge Street space was preventing the transfer from happening but was surrendered last week which could allow the transfer to now take place, which in turn could allow Tanjore to move into the People's Republik space.
Tanjore left its Harvard Square space in October of 2020, apparently joining/being merged into Halal Indian Cuisine on Huntington Avenue in Boston.
The address for the new location of Tanjore is 878 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 02139.
