 I think you're referring to Shish Mahal which used
 to be in the Sunrise Motel across from Miracle Mile.
 It is gone.  And just as well because their food
 quality was very poor toward the end due to a change
 in chefs.  The location was taken over by Darbar.
 I've never cared for them.  But the *good* news is
 that India Garden now has a second location in the
 little shopping center just east of Holiday Center
 (where PharMor and Sun TV are).  But they are Northern
 Indian, not Southern.  If you want South Indian the
 place to go is Udipi Cafe on Old Wm. Penn Highway.

 I've only eaten there once and I wasn't impressed.  My dosa was very
 greasy, and something in the sambar also caused my tounge to swell up for
 the next several hours.  I've been much more fond of Sree's foods, on Main
 St. in Sharpsburg.
