    It has the favorites and delicious too. But the dining room is kinda messy, they really need to work at cleaning the tables better. It's worth checking out. The owner I met is a nice fellow and has run the place for awhile now. Good food, parking is plentiful. "Your professional food and beverage professional opinions and reviews ". -Anna.

    the BEST mango lassi i have ever have. it was spiced and delicious. the lamb Tikka Masala was yummmyyyy. we got the sampler platter. the pyaaza and the aloo pakora tasted wonderful with the dipping sauce, but I feel without the sauce it would be too plain. kothe was probably my favorite from the platter. I wasn't a huge fan of their veggie momos in terms of flavor. I would 100% order again!!

    It was a great experience, food was great. They had these specials for two which was an amazing deal which came with two entrees rice dessert pickle and a soup and costs between $24-28. Try it out when you are in the area. Friendly staff that were super helpful. They warned us when we were over ordering too, usually they just let you order. Definitely will return to try more food on their menu. They have a lot of vegetarian options, and local regional options. Even with the bread they have the garlic naan which is awesome but they also offer roti (which is healthier) and both stuffed and non stuffed paratha. They have a medium beer selection but there is variety in it.

    Always enjoy my time here! They have great vegetarian dishes, my favorite is their okra dish, even if you're not vegetarian (I'm not), I'm sure you'll still love the flavors each vegetarian dish offers. Love their curry and garlic naan. I usually end the meal with leftovers to take home and a cup of chai. They cater to all spice levels for their dishes. The staff is super friendly and happy to answer questions about the menu items. *note: pictures were taken on separate visits*

    Came here for my birthday lunch! Wanted to try a new indian restaurant and this place has a variety of different food, my sister and dad said they'll come back! So very good food & service!! We got chicken tikka masala which was AMAZING, the size of the chicken in it is great. Coconut curry, my mom liked it. Spicy fried rice, not exactly sure what its called but my dad got that, he said medium spice was very spicy for him! 2 Samosas, plain naan, and chicken momo's! Wish we got more naan in one order & wish there was more chicken in the momo's, too much onion for me... but my sister really loved it! Whole fam enjoyed it so yeah, this restaurant was a great choice!

    If you want to eat the best food and also get a homely treatment and vibe, with owner showering some freebies/snacks to taste.. then THIS IS YOUR PLACE!! This would be my first restaurant in US where owner comes and gives some homemade pickles to try, getting good after food mouth fresheners without any limit and much more! Try the steamed momos (dimsums) they are out of the world. Every item was amazing. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

    The momo dumplings are so delicious and were perfectly steamed. I'm not sure what the sauce was but it was amazing. The naan was extra buttery. I ordered mild spice for my curry, and my friend ordered medium. I was not strong enough for hers. The curries were fine. Plenty of seating and parking. Fast service.

    Menu was clear and waiter answered all our questions. Food was hot and fresh and the sauces were explained to us. Everyone was very nice and seemed to care about making sure the food was to everyone's spice level and satisfaction. Service was a little slow even with us being the only ones there. Will definitely come back and recommend to others!

    Not the first trip to this restaurant but my first rating it. The food is tremendously flavorful. Although the colors are rather plain (most of our orders look yellowish) but it is the taste that count. The curry, the coconut, pancake paneer taste exploded in your mouth. Complement it with naan (we have garlic ones)….simply delicious.

    Not to exaggerate this place is one of the best places I’ve ever ate at. I would give it more stars if I can! I highly recommend this place without hesitation ! My family and I ordered the Coconut Shrimp curry and Chicken Tikka with fresh garlic naan bread on the side. Great for dipping the naan bread… PHENOMENAL is all it is! Thanks for the great experience will definitely come back.

    ****Worst Nepali food ever***** that I have eaten in USA. If you are foreign people who never ate authentic Nepali food then you might like it. But as I am an Authentic Nepali eater, the food is not meant for Nepali people. I do understand that the target audience of the restaurant is not Nepali authentic eater. I do not blame on restaurants people because they want to sell the Himalayan name to scam American 🇺🇸…..

    We ordered the non-veg combo which was enough for two people. It comes with two entrees, dal, dessert and a chutney/achar. We also ordered alu pakora as an appetizer. Everything was freshly made, served hot and tasted good. My only complaint would be the service. We had to wait long to order our food, and then even longer when we needed something. There were at least 4 servers, and only two tables of customers including us, both were a party of two. One of the server started vacuuming while we were eating our lunch, not a pleasant experience when dust is all around your food. But if you decide to take out, this is certainly a good place.

    Colorful flavors and some familiar dishes but plenty that might pleasantly surprise you if you're more used to Indian restaurants in the area. The okra and potatoes was well flavored. Medium spicy brought a great heat.

  • 5/5 Sujit B. 8 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    It is the best Nepali restaurant I've been so far in the US. Very close to the authentic experience you'd get at a restaurant in Kathmandu. The vibe of the restaurant is amazing - everything close to that in Kathmandu! We had C-momos and jackfruit & potato curry. Both dishes were amazing. The best part about the experience was the service and attentiveness of the staffs. Love the attention we got from the servers and the owner himself. Would recommend the restaurant to anyone in a heartbeat!

    Was visiting MN for work and stopped by Himalayan Restaurant for lunch based on Google Reviews. This place did not disappoint at all. Great food that tasted authentic and every staff was friendly. Also, their special salmon Tikka is a must try.

    Great place to have a flavourful meal. The restaurant has outside gazebo style seating arrangement as well as indoor seating arrangements. I'll definitely recommended outdoor seating for summers! The ambience is much vibrant for an outdoor dinner experience! The food offered is flavourful and has various spice level offerings based on your requirements. They so provide separate spice sauce if asked, that way you can order medium spicy if unsure and later spice your meal with side sauce. Momos are highlights for this place, being a Nepalese, Tibetan and Indian cusine based restaurants. The steamed and fried momos are a must try. The service is good. The restaurants has its own parking space comfortable for 15 or so cars. Overall a great place to try a different style of cooking with friends, families and co-workers!

    Fantastic all around, very friendly and kind service, dishes made fresh from scratch with bright spices, incredibly flavorful, perfectly soft, pillowy naan while also chewy - absolutely delicious. 💯 will be back and have already recommended to family to try.

  • 5/5 Jalaja G. 2 years ago on Google
    The best Indian restaurant. The owner is very good - takes good care of the customers. I have been multiple times - creamy kathmandu curry , okra and momos are my favorites.

  • 5/5 Josh P. 10 months ago on Google
    I loved sitting outside surrounded by beautiful flowers with an incredible floral aroma. Incredible atmosphere and well decorated. Staff were friendly. Food was delicious!

  • 5/5 Law 2. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve been there with my wife and kid, my daughter is kind of person who never stay still while eating, the owner was very kind that he gave some toys to her and he didn’t forget to clean it up before hanging to her. I didn’t mention about the foods because this is Indian type with lots of herb, if you prefer light flavor you might hate it. But for my family specially my wife who was first time trying Indian food, she loves it. We’ll go back to see them in the near future :)

  • 5/5 D L Anna W. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is great. I highly recommend the appetizer sampler, very much enjoying their mo mo's and onion/jalapeño fritters. Unfortunately I don't recall the name of my entrée, I just know that it is mushroom based. The Himalayan flavor really comes through and they even have Himalayan coffee. This place is a local favorite as well, and I could easily try every item on the menu. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Chitrangda 2 years ago on Google
    Owner is very welcoming and friendly. The food is good quality and taste. Food is not too spicy and maintains authenticity of a home cooked meal. One of the best Nepalese/North east Indian restaurants in the cities.

  • 5/5 Zahra J. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    We absolutely love coming to this restaurant for lunch! It's become our go-to spot whenever my friends, their kid, and I want to grab a bite. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially with the little one. The fact that they have kids' toys available makes the experience even better. The food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for a welcoming dining experience!"
