Welcome to HO! An epic first post! Do you live here for good now?
I had thought Dish Dash (at least the one in Sunnyvale) was run by Lebanese. Are they actually Saudis?
Oh, We should talk about regional Indian. At some point I was thinking about pulling a @Hyperbowler and do a Regional Indian discussion
But never got around to it. But I must say there is a wealth of regional Indian, especially in the South Bay. So please feel free to start such a discussion! Separately I still need to get around to posting about Annachikadai, the thali on banana leaf place in Mountain View.
