Hungering For Himalayan?

Himalayan/Nepali cuisine... that's something you don't come across every day.  Luckily for us, that void in Uptown will soon be filled by Ne:Wa restaurant, soon to open at 5009 N Clark.

In the late 1990s, there were only about 200 Nepalese citizens in the Chicago area.  Now there are approximately 7,000, and just a handful of restaurants that serve their native dishes.  So hopefully Ne:Wa has tapped into a lucrative market with its location in the Andersonville/Uptown corridor.

The website is pretty sparse at the moment, but the Facebook page has some mouth-watering pictures in the "Building Our Menu" albums.  We didn't come across a projected opening date, but we look forward to dining there before long.
