Last week, St. Pete welcomed the latest addition to the Jannus Block in downtown St. Pete. Where’s Jubes, an Aussie brewpub, is now open at 277 Central Avenue on the corner of 3rd Street and Central Avenue in downtown St. Pete. The space was formerly home to Lucky Dill Deli.

The new spot offers in-house brewed beer, Aussie-inspired cocktails, and a menu of steak and meat pies.

“It’s a modern, industrial buildout but with the warmth of Boston’s Cheers,” says Josh Cameron, Owner of Craft Hospitality. "Our culture is customer-first. Warm hospitality and a feeling of familiarity for our guests are what we’re aiming for.”

Downtown St. Pete is filled with incredible restaurants serving a variety of cuisine. Hungry residents and visitors can indulge in Venezuelan, Portuguese, even Nordic/Asian fusion. But for whatever reason, there is very little Indian food.

Luckily, we have The Twisted Indian.

Owner Lokesh Vale introduced the concept to St. Pete in 2016 with the unveiling of The Twisted Indian food truck. It quickly became a staple at downtown’s Saturday Morning Market. And in 2019, The Twisted Indian graduated from food truck to food hall.

But if the rave reviews are to be believed, The Twisted Indian is deserving of its own dedicated restaurant space. And that’s exactly what we’ve got. Last week, after a year a planning, Vale debuted The Twisted Indian’s first brick-and-mortar location at 2639 Central Avenue in the Grand Central District.
