Making a Difference: Origin India Restaurant & Bar
Origin India Restaurant & Bar is whipping up more than Tiki Masala and vegetarian specialties. They’re dishing out cash donations and charitable offerings to fight hunger and educate the valley’s youth.
Each year Share Our Strength, a national organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger, hosts an event called Taste of the Nation. The premier culinary event brings food lovers, local restaurants, chefs and mixologists together for a fundraiser of gastronomic proportions. After Origin India’s participation in the event, owner Raja Majid was so inspired by its overwhelming success that he donated $5000 to Share Our Strength. Perhaps that generosity is why Majid was awarded the Nevada Restaurant Association’s Good Neighbor Award, a highly coveted award given to the restaurateur who goes above and beyond in support of community activism.
Or perhaps it’s due to his continued commitment to charitable giving. Through the restaurant’s Cocktail of the Month program, Origin India donated $2 from every sale of a specialty cocktail to Create a Change Now, a local organization that seeks to educate children how to make healthier eating choices. July’s monthly beverage was an Orange Peach Margarita. Now that’s refreshing! For more information or to make a reservation, call 734-6342 or visit www.originindiarestaurant.com.
