Loved Himalayas but traded it in for Moon (previously Royal India) in Five Points corners just next to Brookleigh.<br />Agree on Brookhaven Provisions, is is a bar, is it a supermarket, is it a lunch spot, no its a mess.

The best models for customer service in the Indian kitchen segment are absolutely Himalayas in Chamblee and Viceroy in Dunwoody. That said, now that Figo is gone I am sincerely hoping that leaves an open for the real deal Mirko to expand into Dunwoodyish. Brookleigh market would be perfect for Mirko. Can't believe Brookhaven Provisions is still in business with their gross cluelessness and disorganization, had so much promise I am disappointed. Thanks Eli for this forum. Me reader long time.

I think the places around there survive on the lunch crowd from the office towers and a big heaping bowl of pasta isn't what a lot of people want for lunch. The few times we have gone over there for an Uncle Julio's fix on the weekends that area of Sandy Springs/Dunwoody is a ghost town, very little nearby residential and too far from Perimeter Mall to attract traffic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-60263506686934120002016-10-03T20:04:21.561-04:002016-10-03T20:04:21.561-04:00Maybe I was spoiled by great, homey yet profession...Maybe I was spoiled by great, homey yet professional Indian neighborhood joints in DC. What I would call mid-line, $15-$20 entrees, competent table service, and tremendously proud of their fare.

When I was on Broad Street last week they had a sign on the street mentioning Figo, as well as three other eateries destined for the building (this is on the building's website as well). It does appear though that the location is now planned to be a to a "to-go" location, something that seems new for the chain. I hope it shows up in some form, there's definitely a demand for more good lunch places on that block!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-22813938098024438082016-10-03T17:12:43.023-04:002016-10-03T17:12:43.023-04:00Figo Sandy Springs was our annual carb loading spo...Figo Sandy Springs was our annual carb loading spot every July 3rd. But after 3 straight substandard visits, we opted for Maggianos this year. It's too bad, I used to enjoy Figo. But you just can't provide mediocre food with painfully slow and inadequate service and hope to survive out there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
