Have you visited Himalayan Chimney recently?

I had dinner there earlier this week, and it was great. My friends and I ordered a bunch of stuff to share, and we regretted nothing. If you haven’t visited recently, do stop by soon for a tasty meal in a cozy space.

We had the tandoori vegetables ($14), the onion kulcha ($3) and these things:

Avocado Jhalmuri ($9)
