Rangoli in New Rochelle has closed and the owners have opened the 50-seat Coriander Modern Indian (154 Larchmont Ave, Larchmont 914-235-0134; corianderny.com) in the space that housed Sardegna Italian Restaurant. As opposed to the traditional dishes at Rangoli, Coriander offers a primarily contemporary menu (on iPads!) with such dishes as lamb Kolhapuri, Cochin shrimp curry, tandoori masaledar lamb chops, and grilled mahi mahi. Main dishes range from $14 to $27. Lunch and dinner is served Tuesday through Sunday; a prix fixe, three-course lunch is available for $13 to $15
This month, the owners of Taiim Falafel Shack in Hastings are planning to open the 46-seat Taiim Cellar (11 Boniface Circle, Scarsdale, no phone as of press time), a vegetarian Middle Eastern wine bar and tapas joint. The menu features many of the salads and dips offered at Taiim Falafel, but also new items such as a marinated beet salad, Lebanese and Sardinia cheese plates, lebna (cultured yogurt cheese) sandwich, and chocolate tahini truffles. The wine list is dominated by Middle Eastern selections (Israel, Lebanon, Cyprus, Greece); most bottles cost from $30 to $50. Taiim Cellar will be open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner
