Himalaya's Restaurant - Surry Hill's

Want to spice up (literally) your lunch breaks as you slave away in Sydney's CBD ? Look no further, in the heart of Surry Hills lies one of the biggest Pakistani & Indian food chains in Sydney!

That's right, Himalaya's Pakistani & Indian Cuisine. Who can resist a good curry, like Demetri Martin's saying goes, "My mind says one thing, but my body says another, Thanks a lot, Indian food."

So while wasting time on Facebook at work (Sam, if you're reading this, you're a top bloke, and a greater boss), and staring at the clock inching closer and closer to lunch time, I and a couple of friends decided to hit up some desi food, (inb4 inappropriate toilet snapchats circulated).

I must admit walking through the office ordering food was interesting, to say the least.. Went a little like this:

"Hey there, can we get a table of 4, we'll be in, in about half an hour, can we just grab:

4 x Samosa's

4 x Mango Lassi's

Tandoori Chicken platter

Saag

and fresh Naan's"

Not your normal, everyday lunch order, right?

Stepping in, the aroma took me back to all those occasions my mum packed me desi food for school lunches, not fond memories. 

However now, years later, here I am, embracing the culture. 

Since Indian cuisine is such that 1 dish by itself is never enough, works as a positive in groups, as it is a great idea to order a variety of options and split bill in the end, which turns out to be cheaper!

Here's a short video clearly expressing our excitement over our mango lassi's:
