My husband and I enjoy this so much that we get it almost every Friday. While we dine-in with friends, we usually call 20 minutes ahead for carryout (call a bit earlier for bigger groups). If you enjoy Indian or Thai food, you'll likely enjoy this, as well.

Searcy has amazing murals! Go downtown and walk around. Close to the court house, check out "Art Alley." Locals pay for a spot, but are bound by one rule: "You've got to change it each month!" What that means is new creations each time you go. Amazing scenes and great pictures!

I am always surprised with the quality of items at Old Hippy. The owner frequents estate sales and has a variety of items from furniture to antique razors. I'm often able to strike a bargain (from an already good price!), as well.
