If you know Bourbon Street, the New Orleans-style restaurant in Roppongi, chances are a friend introduced you. Sohan Ahluwalia vowed that he would never directly promote his restaurant but would let satisfied customers spread the word. And it worked. Sohan has put his heart and soul into creating his creole kitchen, and as it readies for its third birthday (July 25th), one routinely finds it necessary to wait for a table.
But rather than bow to pressure from regular diners to open a bigger place, Sohan opened a bar where one may wait for a table instead.
"I opened the bar to support the restaurant," says Sohan, who boasts the kind of cuddly physique that speaks louder than words as testimony to his cooking skills. "People can pop in before dinner for an aperitif or afterward for a nightcap and enjoy some live music."
