Himalayan Heritage
We're often torn about what to do for food after a workout. It's usually late, and we're usually tired, so we don't usually want to cook. But eating out two or three times a week would be a bit of a strain on our pocketbook. So, we're always looking for deals in Adams Morgan, especially for places that seem like they're not going to mind too much if we're a bit grubby. Himalayan Heritage fit this bill, so I got the deal, and we headed over.
I wanted to try and order something that was more on the Nepali end of the spectrum, less on the Indian end, so I got the "Himalayan Karahi," a "Mixture of Barbeque chicken, and lamb cooked with tomatoes, capsicum and coriander leaves in medium spices with red wine tossed in an iron souk." My wife got the Muglin Thali, a combination of several different dishes featuring prominently a goat curry. The dominant theme of the meal was tough. My chicken was tough. Her goat was tough. It was tough to get service. We weren't very happy with the meal, but I was going to chalk part of it up to being crabby until I realized we were there for two hours. That's much too slow for service. Perhaps we caught them on a bad night, but I don't think we're going back.

I have been there several times, usually for their lunch options, and these are typically good. The nachos -- good. The sandwiches -- good. The waffle sandwich -- okay. But I've never had a dish there I thought was great. The drinks are, again, good. The beer selection is above average, and they have a variety of cocktails. But nothing here stands out enough for me to make a special effort to come here if I'm not already in Adams Morgan.

End of an Era
Prince of Petworth reports that Asylum, long time punk bar in Adams Morgan, will be no more. For years, Asylum was a great place to grab a good burger and a cheap beer, and probably the only decent place in Adams Morgan to do so. Last September, its owners succumbed to the slow march of gentrification, and opened up a decent-for-DC BBQ joint, Smoke and Barrel, where the upstairs used to be. Now the downstairs will be renovated to match the upstairs -- from black and spiky to brown and oaky. RIP, Asylum.
