Backlog: Himalaya

Himalaya: Nepalese restaurant
6th floor of a building on the west side of kawaramachi between Oike-dori and San-jo.

Dark soft warm cavern with carpets and rugs and sashes for your arse and for the walls and for the roof and a candle the only light. Nepalese food whose authenticity I can't vouch for but it tasted well enough. Floor slopes down spookily into toilet lined with plastic ivy.

Stir-fried mutton with chilli and vegetables all salty and spicy and good
Spinach and cheese curry like salty green cream
Meat dumplings in tomatoe-ish sauce contained meat and were dumplings.
Butter Naan the size of a respectable ironing board
Hot Chai like sweet spicy pink cream

Cost: 5400 yen for two people with two drinks each
