A familiar

name in Peachtree City dining has returned in a slightly different location.

Sweet Basil,

touted as "a bistro of Peachtree City," is now open in the Wisdom

Pointe shopping center on Ga. Highway 74 just north of the cart bridge.

It sits in a building with several other established eating establishments,

such as Baci, Sushi Yoshi and Dark Horse Pub.

Owner Syed

Alam operated Sweet Basil for more than four years on Peachtree Parkway

before returning to his native India for a year to tend to family business.

The restaurant has been open in its new location since Dec. 10, offering

Mediterranean cuisine and other delicacies for lunch and early dinner.

A more extensive dinner menu will be available after the holidays.

Emphasizing

the use of the freshest ingredients, the staff at Sweet Basil starts each

morning by baking the bread that will be used that day. The menu includes

a variety of cold salads and foccacia sandwiches, along with quiche, pizza

and calzones. Typical dishes enjoyed by customers at a recent lunch included

rainbow rotini with ham, Dijon chicken with ziti, Rosemary chicken with

rice, and Quiche Lorraine.

Alam has spent

more than 20 years in the restaurant business in the United States, working

at a number of fine dining establishments in Atlanta and acquiring a taste

for a variety of food types. He looks forward to letting Peachtree City

hear that Sweet Basil is back in business, being confident that word of

mouth in the community will make this latest incarnation a success.
