Pivoting to some new business news: An Indonesian restaurant by the owner of Prime Fish recently opened in the Arboretum, Laura writes.
Why it matters: Nusa is Charlotte's first Indonesian restaurant, according to owner Robin Anthony.
Chef Robin is originally from Indonesia and has tapped Indonesian native Hendra Tjiey to lead the kitchen.
Zoom in: Unlike Anthony's other restaurants, Nusa has a more fast-casual vibe.
You'll find traditional Indonesian dishes like beef rendang (braised beef) and "gado gado," an Indonesian salad made with boiled vegetables, boiled eggs, fried tofu and tempeh, topped with peanut sauce dressing.
They serve daily lunch specials that come with rice, sauce and two small sides for $12.
