Little Zagreb has great steaks, lamb chops, etc... And wonderful homemade soups....
                  Might as well fatten the calf!

I don't know about the Snow Lion, but Norbu Cafe just around the corner from it is owned by the Dalai Lama's brother and sister-in-law.  (And there's picture of Richard Gere there to prove it! :-))  We tried it a few weeks ago and it was *not* all that good.  Would not go there again.

One restaurant that is very, very good in Bloomington is the Thai place which I think is called Bangkok or Siam (aren't they all?) --there's only one Thai place there and it's across the street from Norbu (and a few houses down). This place is just fantastic.
