New Indian in Locust Point

Well, new to me anyway. And probably to most of you. Not many places slip under my radar for nine months, but the Himalayan House in Locust Point has. Thanks to Rachel Singer for bringing it to my attention.
It's mostly a carry out, but the manager says they're planning to add some more tables soon. (Right now, Rachel suggests, you can take your picnic to nearby Fort McHenry.) The owner, Prem Raja Mahat, is a folk music star in Nepal, and Nepalese dishes are a specialty of the place. He was a general manager at the Mughal Garden on North Charles Street.
And this just in, I hear Pacific Rim in Cockeysville has become an Indian restaurant. More details later today, when the friend who told me about it last night faxes me the menu. He couldn't remember the name, even though he'd had take out from there the night before.

This is quality take out food. Really good. The dishes are always well prepared and usually come with delicious flatbread to soak up the sauces. We live in this neighborhood and were happy to have a "different" choice for take out. Now if only someone would open a sushi restaurant in this area....

I'll echo Rhiana's comments. We live right around the corner and this place is truly wonderful. They deliver, but because the staff is so friendly, we like to go and pick up our food just to say hi. They even have great pizza!
And Rhiana, rumor has it that the old French Quarter is going to be a sushi/robata bar.

Himalayan House is terrific! We live around the corner and get carryout from them at least once a week- my wife never liked Indian food before, but she now loves it!
