Has now become a state street institution. Little place for fresh food, dal, veggie platters and sandwiches, and fun finger food. A healthy respite during a busy day. more

While in Madison for the Dalai Lama's visit, we had dinner at Himal Chuli. It's definitely a popular "hole-in-the-wall" sort of place, and I had pretty high expectations.

Best place ever. I've moved away from Madison and miss this place often. The tarkari is so yummy, which is what I get always.

I was rather disappointed. The food wasn't very good, the portions were small and the prices were too much(average over $10 for a meal.) I was not at all impressed or happy with the situation. more
