Sakina's Restaurant - Critically Acclaimed Play Comes To Harvard

Chitra Parayath

Sakina’s Restaurant is a funny and heart-warming one-man show that centers around Azgi, an Indian emigrant who comes to New York to work in a restaurant and realize the “American dream”. The Obie Award winning play was written and originally performed by Aasif Mandvi in a long off-Broadway run. Through the varied perspectives of Indian-born and second generation Indian-Americans, a series of vignettes strung together by clever and touching parables follow an immigrant’s impassioned and largely humorous attempts to make sense of America.
