On Monday, Oct. 17, Minnedosa eating establishment, “Maushie’s” will change ownership from Millie Farough to the Mishra family, being renamed RD’s on Main. Residents in Neepawa will be familiar with owner Rajesh Mishra aka “ Raj, having seen him working for the past seven years in Dairy Queen, Neepawa Gladstone Co-op, Brahma’s, Chicken Corral, etc. Raj owned a restaurant in India (now run by his father) before coming to Canada. He said, “RD’s will be open 7:00 am to 8:00 pm seven days a week and we will provide breakfast, lunch and supper menus. Our breakfast special will be $5.99 and there will be separate menus for kids and seniors. We have recently applied to have the restaurant licensed.” Following his success with Indian cuisine at the Corral, Raj will offer similar supper food on Thursdays. The business employs seven staff and ‘ take out ‘ will be available. Seating capacity is 62, so group bookings can be arranged for events such as Christmas parties and birthdays. Future plans being considered are catering and use of the basement for conferences and meetings. Former owner of Maushie’s for 10 years, Millie Farough, said, “I shall be assisting in the kitchen for a while until Raj feels comfortable and my daughter, Amanda, is serving as a waitress. With extended hours providing supper I believe the business will be well received.”
