New India’s Oven Set To Move Locations In MDR

Marina del Rey’s beloved New India’s Oven is set to move locations. A Rep confirmed that they will be vacating their longtime location at 13444 Maxella Ave (in the Villa Marina Marketplace shopping center) and moving to a new space in the Marina Collection shopping center at 13400 Washington Blvd. Expect the same extensive and authentic menu that has long served as a local favorite for lunch and take-away.

Starbird Bringing Crispy Chicken To MDR

A sharp-eyed reader (Thanks Trevor!) spotted permits on the old Men’s Wearhouse space at 4325 Glencoe Ave C-3 in the Villa Marina Center.  The permits inform us that Starbird Chicken is moving into the address.  Their website confirms it.  Starbird hails from the Bay Area and has locations in both NoCal and SoCal.  They are known for their crispy chicken and in-house sauces.  

Islands Sank In MDR

I’ve been hearing from surprised readers that one of The Westside’s last remaining outposts of Islands Fine Burgers & Drinks has disappeared overnight from its longstanding home at 404 Washington Blvd. in Marina Del Rey.  As you can see, all signage has been pulled down and the place looks deserted.  The Santa Monica Mirror confirmed the sad news yesterday, and lets us know that the next closest branch is in Westchester.
