Abraham Salum has decided to open Komali, his new contemporary Mexican restaurant next door to his sister restaurant Salum, oh in about 15 minutes. He’s just plugged in the phone and the contractors have left for the night. I’m waiting for the restaurant’s phone number. 4152 Cole Ave. Dallas.214/252-0200. Open Saturday for lunch and dinner. Closed all day Sunday. More details on the way.
UPDATE: Komali menu below.
