by Kristin Harlow June 5, 2025

OVERLAND PARK, KAN. — Desi Chowrastha, an Indian eatery based in Texas, has secured its first Kansas City-area location at 6301 W. 135th St. in Overland Park. Max Kosoglad and David Block of Block & Co. Inc. Realtors represented the undisclosed landlord in the lease. A grand opening is slated for this summer.

The menu features a variety of kabobs, curries, appetizers and sandwiches. The chain currently has 25 franchisees across America, with many others under contract.
