Downtown Richmond will soon have four more restaurants - and a bunch more apartments - in the buildings owned by SNP Properties on West Broad Street in downtown Richmond, plus one on Jackson Ward.

Three of the restaurants are from restaurateurs Kunal Shah and Neal Patel (of the DC-based LX Group), the folks behind Richmond restaurants Belle (formerly Belle & James) and Kabana. Those restaurants will be concentrated in one block of Broad Street and will include: Nama – an Indian street food restaurant - at 15 W. Broad St. with executive chef Mel Oza at the helm. Oza was the chef and owner of Carytown's Curry Craft and was involved in Lehja in Short Pump prior to that.

Nama could open as early as January, according to Alisha Wieckmann, a spokesperson for the LX Group, though February is more likely.

Next door, and also likely to open in February, is Switch Pop-Up Bar at 13 W. Broad St.

"Switch is a pop-up bar where the themes will change pretty regularly on a scale you see in DC, like with the Cherry Blossom Bar," Wieckmann said.
