I liked Punjabi Dhaba<\/i>, though I haven't been able to make it over there for several months. The restaurant is part of the old Howard Johnson<\/a> motel across from Wal-Mart<\/i> near the intersection of Bush River Road and I-26. I started going there after Delhi Palace<\/a> moved from Broad River Road, and found I liked it better.<\/p>\n

Here is The State story on the fire<\/a>, though it is very brief. When I stopped by there on Sunday 9 February, the place still smelled stronly of smoke and burnt wood. While I certainly hope to see them re-open, it's hard to see sinking much money into this old building. There are two<\/a> vacant restaurants<\/a> further up the road, but of course those buildings aren't in great shape either.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 16 April 2014<\/b> -- As commenter Andrew reports, looks like demolition is starting (pix from 13 April, it may be done by now):<\/p>\n

UPDATE 9 May 2014<\/b> -- Well, the building is gone, and I have removed the \"temporary\" tag from the post title:<\/p>\n
