Himalaya - Fried Chicken? Houston

Went to Himalaya today to share some of this chicken, and the table next to us got the last one 1/2 hour after opening! Kaiser recommended his tandoori whole chicken cut up, marinated in the same spices as the fried, so we got that. It was very good, but not as good as the fried IMO, though much healthier. His massive chicken fried steak is only served at dinner. Besides the chicken which arrived later, here was the lunch line up:

From Top, clockwise:

garlic naan, goat haleel (board special today), dal fry (vegan), saag paneer (bottom right), chicken hara masala (my total fav, hot green chili sauce), Bindhi masala (okra) and steak tikka.

All favorites we have ordered before, other than the goat. This place will put you in a good mood. Get there early or late, they jam at lunch hour, and the staff will want you to get the lunch tray special to speed it up. I haven’t gotten that before though it looks amazing, because everyone in my group has a favorite dish. One person who missed this lunch would have ordered the Hunter’s Beef Plate which is a pile of pastrami served with a “magic mustard sauce” that is delicious.

Anthony Bourdain was here a year ago this week. Cooincidentally (or maybe not) AB ordered this according to Kaiser:
