New restaurant opens in Fremont

The recipe is simple: combine the cuisine of three countries that make up the Himalayas; prepare it to entice the Northwest palate; and present it in a light-filled, contemporary setting. This is the concept behind one of North Seattle's newest restaurants, Khana Himalayan Lounge, in the Lake Union Center at North 34th and Fremont Ave. N. (703 N. 34th).

The restaurant is co-owned by Jill Levine and Tom Olsen. Douglas Rhodes serves as executive chef.
