Moorhead's new Indian and Nepali restaurant, Everest Tikka House, is eager to host us for a vegan buffet, including an appetizer, a couple of choices for a main dish, vegan naan, and a vegan dessert, and a beverage. The cost would be between $12-$15 dollars. It would be very similar to how we did Hebesha, where people prepay only, no exceptions. https://www.facebook.com/everesttikkahouse
