Himalayan Indian Cuisine opened in late May on Arrowhead Parkway, and the restaurant has been dealing all summer with the massive road construction project outside its doors. To help customers, the restaurant has joined Food Dudes Delivery. Customers can order through Food Dudes’ website. Himalayan also is offering a 10 percent discount on carryout orders, which includes the lunch buffet.

Inca Salsa has introduced its 10th flavor. Salsa Verde, a green salsa, is made with tomatillos. It’s available in 16-ounce jars at Inca Mexican Restaurant at 41st and Holly, and eventually will be in all of the Hy-Vees, said Julio Espino. Now, it’s in the grocery stores near The Empire Mall, on Minnesota Avenue, and at 26th and Marion, 57th and Cliff. “It’s a big part of our tradition of cooking, but around here it’s new” to a lot of people, Espino said. “The Midwest is becoming more educated to new dishes.”
