Bombay Bistro in Westbrook, Maine, Sets Grand Opening Date

After months of sitting dormant, it won't take long for people to once again be gathering in the former home of the Frog and Turtle restaurant in Westbrook, Maine.

It was announced last week that a new Indian restaurant called Bombay Bistro would be taking over the space.

The new restaurant had launched a website and had placed signage on the exterior facade of the building to let everyone know it was coming.

Typically, it takes weeks and months before a restaurant opens even after alerting everyone.

But you won't have to wait long for the Bombay Bistro.
