New Indian Restaurant To Open In Morristown

MORRISTOWN, NJ — It's official. A new Indian restaurant is coming to Morristown.

Signs have gone up announcing that Chakra Indian Cuisine is opening up in Morristown at 5 Elm Street, which is the former home of La Campagna Ristorante.

La Campagna Ristorante, a family-owned and operated restaurant, was one of the Morristown eateries claimed by COVID-19.

"I have made the very difficult decision to permanently close the doors to La Campagna. The financial hardship I have faced these past four months has been great," co-owner Benito Capello said at the time of the restaurant's closing. "I appreciate how the community came together to show their support with takeout orders and outdoor dining. It's because of all of you that I have been able to keep the restaurant open till now."

There is no official timeline as to when Chakra Indian Cuisine is expected to open.

Restaurants are continuing to bounce back after the pandemic. In just the last few months, a number of eateries have either opened or announced openings in the Morristown community.
