The Twisted Indian is opening a restaurant in the Grand Central District
/
If you are a regular at the bustling Saturday Morning Market (pre-COVID) or found yourself popping into what once was Baum Avenue Market in the EDGE District, the name “The Twisted Indian,” should bring a warm smile to your face. But as outdoor markets and food trucks were put on hold and Baum Avenue Market transitioned into single tenant space occupied by Karma Juice Bar and Eatery, the delicious Indian fare seemed to almost disappear in an instant.
Well, we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief as we gear up to welcome The Twisted Indian into its first brick and mortar location at 2639 Central Avenue, which is slated to host its grand opening in April.

A new pinball bar will open in the EDGE District this winter with a lineup spanning superheroes, dinosaurs, horror movies, and a decades-old machine that helped inspire the business.
The Lucky Flipper is targeting an early December opening at 915 Central Avenue, the former home of Machine Shop Barber Company.
Owner Matthew Scott is building a 1,600-square-foot venue with 16 to 18 pinball machines, 3-6 classic arcade cabinets, and a bar focused on local and Florida-made beer.
Rather than a dark, neon-lit arcade, Scott wants the space to feel bright, approachable, and unmistakably St. Pete. The venue’s branding uses coral and teal colors and a roseate spoonbill, a bird Scott often sees near his Crescent Lake home.
Guests will pay daily admission, currently planned at $14, for unlimited play and the ability to come and go throughout the day.
Scott said he is considering discounted date nights, memberships, military discounts, and other special offers.
