Cary Favorite Kababish Café Implements QR Code Pricing

Kababish Café has introduced price increases on its menu in response to a spike in food costs and limited supply of essential ingredients. The café is using a QR code system on its menus to help customers access current pricing without having to reprint physical menus, a move that helps avoid additional business expenses.

Customer response online has been overwhelmingly positive. Many patrons have commended the restaurant’s quality and noted that small businesses often operate with narrow profit margins. Reviewers emphasized the importance of supporting local establishments like Kababish Café, particularly as they navigate economic challenges while continuing to deliver a well-regarded dining experience.

Kababish Café in downtown Cary offers authentic Pakistani and Indian cuisine with an aromatic blend of spices and flavors served in a family-friendly atmosphere with fresh, made-from-scratch dishes. Directions

Cary Residents Embrace ADUs for Family and Flexibility

A recent Cary Spotlight poll asked readers how they might use an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) if zoning regulations and financial constraints were not a factor. The results suggest strong community interest in ADUs as tools for multigenerational living and flexible lifestyle needs.

The most popular use, selected by 36 percent of respondents, was to house aging parents or other family members. Respondents highlighted the benefits of proximity, independence, and strengthened family bonds.

Another 26 percent favored using ADUs as a home office, studio, or guest suite, citing the appeal of having additional space for work or visitors without disrupting the main household.

Use as transitional housing for adult children or recent graduates garnered 16 percent of the vote, while 10 percent saw value in ADUs as rental or income properties. About 13 percent expressed no interest in building an ADU, regardless of feasibility.

The responses reflect a strong preference for keeping loved ones close while accommodating modern work and housing needs.

If zoning and budget weren’t a problem, how would you use an ADU?

The Answer to the Cary Spotlight Hook Trivia Question 👇👇👇
The phrase “No taxation without representation” became a rallying cry for American colonists in the 1760s and 1770s as they protested British taxes imposed without their consent. Colonists argued that since they had no elected representatives in the British Parliament, any taxes levied on them were unjust. This powerful slogan captured the growing frustration that ultimately fueled the movement toward revolution and independence.
