Hurray!

      I commit to patronizing the Troy location once per week, every week. You have made my day.

        While it's certainly an appealing idea, I'd take it with a vegetarian grain of salt. I, too, would *love* to have a Troy outpost of Neehee's so that I could cut the drive time there in half, but I'm pretty skeptical that it'll be happening any time soon.

        Reason being? This has been talked about/rumored for a *long* time, now. Years, I'm talking about. Obviously, Troy would be (I would think, especially in terms of population makeup) an idea spot for them to go into, but it's always been very, very, *very* vague response when I've brought it up with the folks in upper management there.

        I understand that there have been some ongoing issues which might prevent them being able to focus on opening other branches (a car crashing through their front windows, for certain), but it's been a number of years since they've moved into their new digs, and they've still not branched out.

        Methinks it might have something to do with the closure of the initial location in Farmington Hills, but I'm not entirely sure...it's just speculation on my part. Any way I look at it, though, until I see with my own eyes a "Coming Soon, Neehee's" sign on a storefront being remodeled, I'm going to continue to be skeptical. It's not for a lack of desire on my part, of course...it's just that I can't ignore the past, what, four years?

        Here's hoping...but I'll believe it when I see it.

      My two visits to the old Neehee's were alright (maybe I could have selected better items). But, since I was at Ikea tonight I decided to give the new (to me) Neehee's a try. Wow, now I get it. The M4 Chole Bhature (chickpea stew with puffy fry bread) hit it out of the park, as did the D32 sandwich masala dosa (potato crepe super combo). Very complex flavors that I couldn't come anywhere close to matching at home with an Indian cookbook (not anytime soon, anyway). The Chinese Indian fusion H9 Gobi Manchurian also was nice.
      PS--this Summer they are expanding their space as well as their menu.
      A treasure.

        Yes!! I haven't been there since they reopened. I really need to make a trek. That chole bature combo is fabulous---makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

        YAY!!!!! That's great news!! Is the website's new address correct? It still says Ford Rd but I want to tell friends to go there... is that right?

          Outstanding! Thanks, rainsuz. I only live about 5 minutes away but hadn't checked for a while. That's really good news.
