Himalayas

This strip mall is so wack. Even the long lasted China Inn couldn't take it anymore and moved up to Johns Creek (where?). This blackhole of a shopping center has one last thing going for it... This old ass Injun joint. I first came here like 10 years ago, it was aight, nothing to get your adult diapers in a wad. Walking back in here brings back eerie feelings like... The late 70's and early 80's. Everything in this place hasn't changed a bit. Not one bit... Except the smell of really dated and soiled carpets. They're now even a more prettier shade of puke. If you haven't been here, it's only a matter of time before they go buh-bye as well, since the property owners have been raising the rent for the remaining few in this wrinkled FUPA of a mall. That out of state property management corporation will not spend a dime to update the aging space, since the land is probably worth more than the contents on it. And it's true.

So, I made what may be my final visit here to see how things were going...

Soup with some thingamabobs. This would be a hit on Pine Street. They love free soup down there... Wait, who doesn't love free soup? But if you gotta pay, just don't even bother with it here. Bland, watery and smelled weird. Hell, the whole place smells like some crackho's pits.

Samosas with Meat- What kinda meat? Who the fuck knows. They were so puffy kinda looked like dunce hats or... Wait a minzie, this kinda looks like some fat chick with her cankles in the air and a full garden between it's gargantuan thighs. Appetite. Gone. Done-zo. Punt-ola.


Naan- Sure, it ain't Boboli? It came out a bit too early. Needed more color. It was a bit doughy, chewy and cold. Bottomline: It wasn't good. But my dog would totally use it as a crate bed.


Lamb Curry- Tis was alright, the lamb was tender but the curry was weak and a little oily. Thank God, they give you a shitload of basmati rice to soak it all up.


Biryani w/ Chicken- A giant heap of it but little chicken found. It was acceptable overall. But it got more boring after each bite. No matter how many bites you took looking for that something, you'll only find nothing... Except a stain in your underpants.


Tandoori Chicken- Came out nice and sizzling hot on a sizzler plate. Cute little touch on serving it to you table side. Chicken was nice and tender with decent flavor. Prolly the best thing sampled here.

The place has been around for ages and ages in this ghost town of a strip mall in auto dealer limbo. The food is mostly forgettable but definitely a decent filler if you're hungry. They must be doing something right to last this long. The service is attentive without being Bollywood creepy. The last time I ate here, Monica Lewinsky was sucking Clinton's cock in the Oval Office... Come to think of it, the food here tasted like dick back then and it really hasn't changed much since. Not that there's anything wrong with it...

Squirt.
