Himilayan Grille

Thursday, June 30, 2011

6 of us gathered tonight at The Himilayan Grille in Sunset Beach for dinner. There were 3 people who had never been to this restaurant before but I think they will be back.

Since everyone orders a dish or two and we share we had a few new ones tonight. We started out with Samosa's which are always good here. Very light and not greasy. Then came a chicken dish. Can't remember the name but since Oliver ordered it we referred to it as "Chicken  Nuggets". Small pieces of chicken with a light batter and fried. They were very good.

We also tried the eggplant dish and the lentil dish. None of which I had before. Not two of my favorite foods but these were actually good and I would have no problem ordering them again We rounded it out with Rack of Lamb, Shrimp Saag, Lamb Vindaloo, Garlic Chicken, Tibetan Shrimp, Vegetables Korma and Lamb Chou Chou.

Wines brought tonight were interesting.
