Wild Mango, which opened at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst back in 2019, will close at the end of August. Owner Weia Teia took over the former Stir Crazy space and transformed it into a luxurious escape from the everyday. The last day of service will be Friday, Aug. 30. The Crocker Park location will remain open and will honor any outstanding gift cards for the Legacy location.
The space, however, already has a taker; Saffron Patch has announced plans to open a new restaurant at Legacy Village. This location will join others in Shaker Heights and North Olmsted. The popular Indian restaurant group launched in 1991.
Owners Madhavi “Maj” Patel and Dr. Kalish Kedia say that they hope to attract a wider audience of Northeast Ohio diners by creating a one-of-a-kind Indian dining experience.
“Our goal with this restaurant is to bring the upscale Indian restaurant experience and vibe that is typical in Los Angeles and New York to the Cleveland area,” explains Kedia. “Saffron Patch will offer more progressive Indian food, where everything is fresh and cooked to order, which differs from most Indian restaurants.”
The menu, too, will divert from convention thanks to the addition of small plates, special tasting menus, customizable dishes that include vegan and vegetarian items, and creative cocktails.
“We believe that Legacy Village is one of the best places in Cleveland and we’re excited to join their popular restaurant district,” adds Kedia.
Legacy Village reps are eager to welcome the new tenants to their existing portfolio of dining options.
“Saffron Patch is known for its authentic Indian food, and we’re excited they chose Legacy Village to launch their new high-end fine dining concept,” states Susan Windle, Legacy Village General Manager. “We’re sure our guests will love expanding their palates and enjoy what is part of a new era of international dining experiences at Legacy Village.”
Look for the new Saffron Patch to open this fall.
