Rashmi Bhat, who co-owns 7 Monk’s Cafe in New Braunfels, Texas, recently posted a video on Instagram in which she opened with a striking statement: “I don’t hire Indians at my Indian restaurant.”
The restaurant, which she runs with her mother, serves a blend of Indian and Mediterranean cuisine. Founded in 2019 just before the Covid-19 pandemic, 7 Monk’s Cafe managed to survive the industry downturn and has since built a steady customer base among local diners.
