MMM, I took a look at both links and the pics featured don't seem to be the place. Maybe where I went to has been bought and/or revamped (only went there once back in '99...) Anyway, thanks for that.
You wouldn't happen to have run across an Indian restaurant in Sannomiya called ガネシャガール by chance, would you? We used to go there every weekend for their great specials, wacky Indian satellite TV and "colorful" Japanese usage. (いらっしゃいませ!何名様ですか?どうぞ。
