Aromas from the Big Easy flowed through the air on Monday afternoon as Kim Soto snipped the ribbon at the Elm City’s newest eatery.
Queen Zuri, a New Orleans-style restaurant at 230 College St., served gumbo, jambalaya and banana pudding cake — among other bayou delicacies — during its grand opening. Soto, the owner, has been operating Queen Zuri locations in Shelton and Milford the past three years. After a Shops at Yale representative ate at Queen Zuri in Milford this March, the representative asked Soto to bring operations to one of Yale’s locations.
