If you're ever out near Exton mall during the week, call me and we can have lunch at Himalyan . The lunch buffet usually includes chai tea, tandoor chicken, 'chilly chicken' which is SPICY, some kind of vegetable pakora (Indian tempura), one or two rice or stew dishes, one or two breads, salads and various sauces and relishes, and some traditional desserts like gulab jamun, another which is like candied funnel cake, as well as fruit cup in melted ice cream.

I think it's $8 for lunch now. A $1 extra gets you soda.

I am not a light eater by any means, but 2 or 3 pieces of tandoor chicken, a helping of the chilly chicken mixed with bread to cool it down, and 4 or 5 gulab jamuns, which are the size of meatballs, is enough to put me down. I love the chai tea, which has a nice blend of spices and is mixed with milk. If I'm feeling adventurous I will try some chutney or the hot and sour pickle relish. The soup is usually called Mulligatawny, but all the times I have been there it has been a broth and not the thick soup usually associated with the name.
