Tashan's response to Restaurant Week

Despite its decidedly downtowny feel, Munish Narula's Tashan (777 S. Broad St.), chillin' at Broad and Catharine, is outside the participatory boundaries for Center City District Restaurant Week, which runs Jan. 22 to 27 and Jan. 29 to Feb. 3. In reponse, the upscale Indian is gerrymandering the RW borders — always looking for an excuse to use the word "gerrymandering" on Meal Ticket — by creating a special discount for those dining in. Tashan will eat $15 a head on every $50 spent to bring the per-person base price down to $35 — the price of your typical Restaurant Week dinner. For example, a $100 check between two people would end up costing only $70; a $200 check for a party of four would be discounted to $140. Tables must mention the dealage to their servers when seated, and the restaurant requests that eaters tip on the pre-discount total.
