The George Washington University opened the latest installment of its reimagined dining plan Wednesday morning as the Indian-inspired Chaat House on the first floor of the University Student Center welcomed students for the first time.
University officials including Provost Christopher Alan Bracey, Vice Provost for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Colette Coleman, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Bruno Fernandes, Associate Vice President of Business Services Seth Weinshel, GW Dining Executive Director Doug Frazier and Vice President Of Operations for Chartwells Higher Education Matt Thompson cut the ribbon to officially open the restaurant as students jumped in line, while those less decisive or more curious tried samples of the cuisine that were available off to the side.
Options to try included samosa chaat, chicken tikka masala, kale and spinach blend, tandoori tofu, mango lassi, turmeric ginger lemonade, chicken tikka and vindaloo tofu.
