Oh man, I can only say one thing to you, NA, India Sweet House on Pico (near La Cienega). Their Rabri is nectar of the gods! Thick, sweet, creamy and just a touch of pistachio nuts on top. They have all varieties of indian sweets, gulab jamen, jelebi, the besan ladoo are my favorite, (like eating sweet sand, gritty and delivious) many kinds of burfee, you name it. They are kosher Indian and they do not take short cuts and use only whole milk and sugar and whatever.

Yelp review.

OMG, they have a website

I go there almost every time I am in LA and bring stuff home in the car (ion a cooler) or on the plane. In fact, I am drooling right now just thinking abou them!

If you go into the shop, their dosas are pretty good too, as well as the bhel poori. I just had lunch, I cannot be this hungry! Gah!

Also the nut mixes (with hot chili are awesome) this is a not to miss spot for me. Waaaaaahhhhhhh........

I'll make it a destination. I also found a place with saffron ice cream. I'll be taste testing tomorrow after my Bollywood Dance class.

Artesia? Are those collared suits called something specific, or just "high collared Indian suit jacket thingies"? ;)

Edit: Jodhpuri suit.

And woah. Expensive!

Second edit:

Cool! Pajamas!!! http://www.diwansaheb.com/kurta-pajama-set.html

Third edit:

By the many arms of Shiva.... $300 pajamas! Just as expensive as the suits!

Psst. Go read the Bollywood Primer thread.

Psst Psst. Artesia is the home of Little India. I'm gonna organize a pre-nye shopping excursion to this spot.

I'm starting to feel a little pressured by this party: so much I need to learn/do before-hand.


AAAiiiyyyaaaaaahhhhhhh

Yeah, and we're doing it at your house this year too.:evil:

Well, I do have a sari! :D

NA: I'm so in on the shopping trip :)

Me! Me! Me! I wanna go!

TeeHee, I want pre-NYE shopping and choreography ... but I honorably request no gung-ho Near Year's Eve prep till after Halloween.
