Lets gather together and celebrate Diwali with a food-crawl style UYE in the Gandhi/South Asian District of Houston. We will start from Kathmandu Curry & Bar at The Plaza @ Hillcroft and Harwin, next to Just-in. Kathmandu Curry & Bar serves up authentic Nepalese style cuisine. Flavorful food with its own unique twist, items ranging from momos (dumplings), sekuwa (grilled meats) and thali (small plates that pack a punch) and various soups/entrees.

After lunch, we will walk over to Raja Sweets at Hillcroft Park Center to sample some popular and colorful Diwali desserts. Please be prepared to pay $5 to Lou for dessert sampling. You will get to try 6+ different types of sweets. After dessert, we will walk over to Keemat Grocers for some South Asian shopping.
