In the ever-evolving restaurant scene in Lafayette, it looks like there is something new, cool, and different coming to an old location.

A restaurant called First Hot Pot & BBQ will soon be opening at 4510 Ambassador Caffery Pkway, Suite 3.

To be exact, that is the old Royal Curry Indian Cuisine location. That once-popular restaurant closed for good back in October 2022.

What exactly is "hot pot"?

In a post on their social media, the owners simply explained exactly what a "hot pot" eatery is all about.

They posted in part: "Hot pot is an interactive dining experience where you cook a variety of fresh ingredients in a simmering pot of flavorful broth."

When will Hot Pot & BBQ be opening?

It appears that the restaurant has already held a soft opening and is ready to welcome customers soon.

While no exact date has been announced for their official opening, the proprietors did say it is happening in June.
