"Never order two of the same dishes at Himalaya. Or rather, if you try to, the owner will tell you no. He lumbers around the classic Pakistani and Indian restaurant, chatting up diners, suggesting more food, and passing out to-go orders. You’re essentially dining in his home. Order a spicy, herbaceous chicken hara masala or the sweet mutton biryani with a side of warm, buttery garlic naan. And since it’s BYOB, make sure to bring a bottle of wine." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
