—Columbus' Curry, the fast-casual Indian restaurant opened in April 2015 by a former Bollywood actor at 1357 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Wicker Park, is no more. A sign appeared on the door just before the Fourth of July to announce the shutter, DNAinfo reports. There's no word yet what's coming to a prominent Wicker Park space.

—In other potentially-sad shutter news, two-year-old Uptown Mexican restaurant Riques Cocina Mexicana closed earlier this week at 5004 N. Sheridan Road, according to a Facebook post from ownership.
