Hot and Cold Café opened its doors on February 5, 2007. It was a dream finally realized by Uday Mukherjee to start his own restaurant with delicious food at an affordable price, exceptional service and experience. Timby (Uday’s wife) found that 205 9th St was available and felt that the 9th Street corridor was a great location for Uday’s restaurant. No other Mediterranean food was offered in Lynchburg at the time so Uday felt that he should incorporate the Lebanese cuisine with Indian fare, hence the Indian-Mediterranean Fusion concept. He became a great student of the previous owner and learned how to make the Mediterranean dishes we have today.
