When we started Karma Kitchen at Taste of Himalayas, we pondered our traffic -- Sunday lunch at a Nepali restaurant is an off-peak situation, there is very little foot traffic (unlike the post-football-game traffic we got on Telegraph) during those hours, it's a bigger restaurant, and so on.  We hoped for 70-80 on good days and ultimately hitting the "four stages of sustainability."

Well, it seems that we're there in less than three months.  Three weeks ago, we hit record traffic of 110 guests.  Week before last, we matched it again.  And then last weekend, we knocked it out of the ball-park with 130 guests!  One diner said, "This is my third time trying to get in.  I feel so lucky I got in!"  And then after his experience, he adds: "I own a restaurant in the heart of Sebastapol.  I'd love to bring Karma Kitchen there."

Two weeks back, an 18-year-old spent four hours at Karma Kitchen. The next week, UC Berkeley's Daily Cal did a front-page story that included a rough-cut video and this beautiful photo:
