    Hands down, one the best momos I've had in my life! I usually don't enjoy red meat but their pork momos were excellent! I had a chance to have a small rendezvous with the owner of this place - an ex-Google employee who quit his job after a decade to start this business. He went after his calling and set-up this cute tiny and homely place that serves the best Tibetan, Nepali and Himalayan cuisines! I am definitely visiting them again. Special shoutout to their Nan Thod Potatoes and Thupkas... Delicious 😋!!!

    Hidden Gem 💎. Asian restaurant located next to KS bakers on first floor on the Botanical Garden road. Different experience of seating on mattresses on the ground. Small and cozy restaurant. Food is authentic and extremely delicious 😋. We ordered Khow Suey and Veg Jhol Momos. Know suey was perfect in both the taste and presentation. Quantity was sufficient. Veg jhol momos come with gravy and quite good too. Price is decent and service is good. Their restaurant walls and stairs need renovation. No AC is installed inside but fans are good. It is difficult to see the restaurant from the road and it seems to be hidden. Overall good experience 🥰😍🤩

    A lovely place and a lovely experience. Hyderabad has not been able to wow me in terms of chinese yet but this place definitely carries a whole lot of flavourful potential. The restaurant is on first floor, has table seating and floor seating options as well. It's much fun to sit squatting on the floor and eat from the low tables. The momos are beautiful, especially the steamed ones. We also liked the Pork Breast dish as well. Looking forward to this place fine tuning it's offerings. Recommended. Will visit again.

    *Please leave a 👍 if you like my review* This is an amazing place for dining in Kondapur/Botanical Garden/Kothaguda (nearby areas). You will have to keep your shoes outside and sit for an amazing experience of delicious food. The food was delicious and the staff was good. The prices are reasonable. Only thing that I felt was the serve time is a little late than usual, but I am sure that is not everyday. The quantity is good as per the price. Food to look for : Chicken Salt and Pepper, Bami Goreng, Nand Potato, Chilly Paneer, Jhol Momos. This place is better if you are looking for some Chineese and Indonesian, not heavy yet complete meal. Usually preferred for dinners. The food can be categorised with medium and extreme spicy too depending upon the customer's taste.

    Lovely place to be with your family and friends. This place is authentic and smells like mountains. Please don't expect it to be a very luxurious atmosphere. If you want good food, do visit this place and if you want to get a new experience and time away from your daily routine. Authentic momos, soups and chinese delicacies. Good food good place and good taste. Also, the service provided by the property is at its best. Loved the place truely. You can order on Swiggy or Zomato as well.

  • 3/5 Pratikshya P. 4 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    The food was delicious and worth every penny but they should really work on the ambience. I guess they are more focused on the cloud kitchen. I would rather suggest you order food from here than going to this place.

    The food was amazing. We've tried pork momos, spicy chicken coriander momos, dry chilli pork and chicken thukpa. Pork momos and chilli pork were really good. The place is small but the tastes of the foods are amazing. If you are a momo person you should definitely come to this place and try it's momos. BEST MOMOS I HAD IN HYDERABAD TILL DATE.

    Small couped up place but just amazing food. This is a must try for all. The know suey as in the pic is to die for. Rest of the items specially the main course need to inform the spice level as they sometimes make it sweet. The momos are out of this world as well

    Food is good at the place taste is also good worth eating . Ambience is just ok ok. And one thing I would suggest to restaurant that they should change there plastic bowls and utensils. Apart from that it was worth trying.

    Best momos in town. Loved the jhol momo and chilli pork. Service is slow, seating is on ground but the taste makes up for everything

    Loved the food here. Quaint little cafe with a little area to sit down and eat the traditional way. The pork ribs and momos were out of this world.

    The food is amazing, their momos are one of the best and have an amazing scrumptious juicy filling. Restaurant offer a ground seating option overall a good experience. The upkeep of the restaurant needs a little extra care.

    Yumm Chinese, Tibetan, Thai food at a reasonable price. While the entrance is unassuming, the interior is very cute and welcoming. The food is their calling card. The menu has good variety. The pork ribs were amazing. Have food delivered to you through swiggy/zomato if sitting on the floor (oriental style) is not your thing !! It’s worth it.

    Crave for a good momo? Try from their cafe.. it's really a must try for all..their taste and packaging melt my heart as well.. I was waiting for their order as I have already known about their awesome pork momos from my didivai.. We ordered this time chicken steamed momo and Chicken thukpa via Zomato.. Momo was 4.5/5 with the hot and cheesy taste.. Thukpa was 4.9/5 with all the Vegetables like spinach, carrot, coriander, and chicken..with healthy touch of perfect amount of salt and pepper.. Definately you try them once and enjoy🤩👍

    We went to this place last Sunday and believe me it was the worst place I have visited in past 7 to 8 months.I went to this place with lots of expectations but unfortunately place and food both were unhygienic. We called the restaurant in advance just to tell them that we are coming to order our food so that they arrange everything but still they didn't care about that. Kitchen was so dirty and smelly. Main thing which I have noticed immediately after entering into the kitchen was that nobody was wearing mask....so they were not following any guideline in this crucial time and when I asked them why you doing such things they smiled and said we don't wear mask in the kitchen. I don't know that doesn't make sense or not. Also when I told them that I am gonna mention all this on Google than again he smiled on me and went inside. Second most important thing was that food was worst. Full of oil and spicy. They have not used fresh oil. So basically food was also not good. Third thing is that it is my mistake that went there. So I request everyone please don't order anything from this place. They are not following any guidelines of corona. I know I have made this mistake but guys can avoid this.

    Momos were quite good and the chutney served was refreshing. Didn’t like the crispy honey chicken much. Ambience was pathetic since it was closed during covid and the place was smelly as a result.

    THC (The Himalayan Cafe) is one of the most authentic places to be if you want to taste real momos and authentic Chinese. I would recommend try the Pork Momos, it's the Best🤩😋. 5/5 the perfect score. I would also recommend to try the chicken momos. It was soft succulent and the filling. 5/5 I tried the Chili Dry Pork. The sauce was awesome. I never thought that you can get such good pork in Hyderabad. Try the garlic chili pork noodles. Good one as well. Always ask for recommendations from the owner. He will guide you well. For all the dishes I had to pay 800 bucks. I missed on one part where the charges were not clear. As the Chicken Momo was of 120, Pork Momo was of 180. Chili Dry Pork -240 and finally the Pork chilli was not on the menu so don't know. Anways clear this part with the owner. Regarding Billing which is unclear. Otherwise the place is good.

    A place can be small, and simple but not untidy. But this place is unclean and untidy, worn-out walls, with no maintenance. It shows their granted attitude towards the customers who wish to dine in. I wonder how their kitchen must be. They should work on their ambience if they wish to continue dine-in or better operate as a cloud kitchen(as the prices are like any other usual dine-in place). The food is good but all of the items tasted the same. We have ordered Pork Jhol momos, Tom Kha & Khow suey.

  • 5/5 Lisa Raj S. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic food and service! I honestly enjoyed the food so much, I asked the owner to look into opening branches in other cities. The momos were definitely a hit, but we also ordered Thai Curry and fried rice as well which were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the soup which had a very yummy coconut milk consistency and taste to it! Also enjoyed the homey sitting down style of the restaurant. Looking forward to bringing other friends and family here. I highly recommend visiting the Himalayan Cafe to all those traveling to Hyderabad!

    This small place has amazing food to offer. The chicken thukpa is delicious. Pork momos and fries and also lip smacking! Best Asian food restaurant in Hyderabad and very reasonable too.

  • 5/5 Ravi C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Sarthak P. 2 years ago on Google
    The restaurant has cosy seating. The momos are indeed something to try! Though it may not seem like it, there are good vegetarian options too.

  • 1/5 Samit N. 2 years ago on Google
    I recently went for dinning but I chose not to dine due to the hygiene and seeing the way they make food in the dirty kitchen.

  • 5/5 Amit K. 2 years ago on Google

    I remember when this place was just a small shed. And now i thought the food taste would change its a proper restaurant now, but nope. They proved me wrong. The taste is ever delicious. Super friendly service.

  • 5/5 Sachin R. 4 years ago on Google
    I ordered the spicy veg Momo's and veg garlic hot sauce... The veg garlic hot sauce is out of this world and the best gravy I have had in an Oriental restaurant since a while.

  • 5/5 Nidhi L. 4 years ago on Google
    Just love the Khao Suey and the Momo's here. Please try out all the sauces which are served with the Momo's, they are sooo good!

  • 5/5 Denny G. 4 years ago on Google
    The very best Momos in Hyderabad. Try out their Jhol momos, unique and unlike any other momos you've ever had. The place serves good pan asian cuisine, but their strength is in their Nepali/Tibetan/Himalayan fare. Along with their selection of momos, order some pork thupka and you will not go wrong.

  • 5/5 kyasa s. 3 years ago on Google
    Best place to have momos in city...!!

  • 4/5 Sri Ravali K. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best place serving the momos and thukpas in the town is near kondapur where we had some amazing food. Along with some good ambience where you can have food in the nepali style on the floor. So we had schezwan chicken momos, chicken and egg thukpa, chicken steam momos, chilly momos, honey chilli chicken and a chicken skewer platter.. Among all we loved the momos and the chicken skewer platter.

  • 3/5 shalabh n. 4 years ago on Google
    It was ok ok cafe. Price doesn't match to the taste. Had better chicken momos near DLF. I also had thoopa which they said authentic but it was not. Service is slow and you have to wait for long time to get seat. 😣 I liked ambiance it is good.

  • 4/5 ᴅɪʙʏᴀᴊɪᴛ �. 3 years ago on Google
    The search for authentic momos at Hyderabad ends at The Himalayan Cafe. I opted for a pick up and ordered one plate of chicken fried momos and a plate of non veg thukpa. Both of them are authentic and brings me closer to Darjeeling. The packing has been great too. The momo with the Spicy Devil sauce goes absolutely perfect. This is for the first time in the last 4 years of Hyderabad that I am having such a great thukpa. Awesome is the word! Will be ordering more from this place regularly and I just wish to see some more dishes added to the menu list. THC is a killer addition!

  • 5/5 Aritra C. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice small restaurant for chinese Tibetan and thai food. No place for parking. U have to aprk on road. The restaurant on the second floor Indoor seating available.. Good place for pork items. Pocket friendly

  • 1/5 saminchutia 3 years ago on Google
    Got pork momos , chicken fried rice, and pork chilly Pork momos was good but a bit pricey , Pork chilly was a total disaster it’s better to donate 200 bucks to poor instead of ordering pork chilly Fried rice was not upto the mark looks like an amateur chef had been trying

  • 5/5 Novoneel C. 4 years ago on Google
    Great, authentic food, minimalist, clean ambience. Definitely try the pork ribs.

  • 5/5 Aldrin M. 4 years ago on Google
    The himalayan cafe. Really amazing place to have pork and himalayan food in Hyderabad. The dishes are very authentic. One of the best momos you can get in Hyderabad at reasonable prices. The pork here is really good and fresh. The thukpa is also amazing. I travel really far just to eat the food here. I could not find any other place in hyd serving this food and the plus point is reasonable pricing as well as amazing quality and taste. 👍

  • 5/5 JayaprakashReddy K. 4 years ago on Google
    This is very small and cosy place and definitely worth visiting. Food is awesome and ambience is excellent. Sitting on the floor is amazing experience. Though entry to this place is narrow but once you enter the premises you will forget that.

  • 5/5 Girish K. 4 years ago on Google
    A cozy place to end your day with a nice meal. The owner is very friendly and you can ask him for suggestions. I had a chance to visit the kitchen,very clean and professional. Must try : Pork Ribs with BBQ sauce and Pork Momos. All the dips are made in house and tasted fresh. There is no 4wheeler parking facility, 2 wheeler's can be parked. You can park your car a little further on the opposite side of the road and walk down to the place. Overall, I am happy I found this place. Must try !

  • 5/5 Udit J. 4 years ago on Google
    Well we heard about this place from a friend and I must say we were really impressed. The place serves amongst the best Chinese we have ever tasted.The ambience in itself is very well thought of. The have low seating tables and cushions to sit on. The owner himself engages with the people visiting the place and there are several different dishes to try from. As with a place like this, the service is a little slow but it is more than compensated with the food when it arrives. If you are looking for a fast service, best is to visit on a weekday. Definitely going back here.

  • 5/5 Debajyoti K. 4 years ago on Google
    Almost authentic flavors of Tibetan and Chinese dishes in Hyderabad. Restaurant has a cozy ambiance. Food quantity can improve though and its little hard to spot.

  • 5/5 PathiPatti P. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Gauri Basant S. 4 years ago on Google
    Veg Momos were great!

  • 2/5 Abhishek M. 4 years ago on Google
    Well went there as the ratings for this joint on all platforms were pretty good. Liked the idea of floor searing and the quiteness the place had. Lent it a good vibe. Now comes the food part. Order pork ribs home style,Himalayan spcl momos, Thai basil chicken fried rice. Except pork ribs the other 2 items didn't have much flavor to it, they weren't like under or over cooked but couldn't taste the dish for its ingredients. Since it's a floor searing place u oughta remove ur shoes before u enter. But the place to remove ur shoe is right under the scorching sun with no benches to help u as well. Would have loved to have some shade n a bit of seating to help u with that

  • 2/5 Bismay C. 4 years ago on Google
    When ordering Jhol momos, the gravy the momos were cooked in had become bitter. The chef at first could not understand the issue, then denied responsibility for the bitter gravy saying that they hadn't received this kind of complaint before. The dish wasn't replaced when told to.

  • 5/5 Srijoni d. 4 years ago on Google
    It is an excellent place. Must visit. We tried the pork momos and khao suey.

    Nice little cozy place. The food was a delight to the tastebuds. Must try: Bami Goreng Noodles. I was a bit surprised by the sitting arrangement though. 🏔️⛰️🏔️

  • 5/5 sanchay g. 4 years ago on Google
    We tried a few dishes , here they are. The first to come was their Chicken spicy coriander steamed momos and Spicy veg fried momos. One bite and I knew it wasn’t any normal. The juices it released was something that adds immense flavour to the momos. You don’t want to waste the juices. The spice as well was balanced without hitting on the back of the throat which was a good sign. Next to come in was the chicken kothey and steamed pork momos. The chicken ones again had those juices coming through , also has a kick from the lemon juice. Perfect with the spicy chutney. Although I don’t eat pork , also I have no problem in trying it out the owner insisted me to try it. It was much better than the chicken one in terms of flavour and he proudly says its the best the kitchen does. We also tried the Thukpa both chicken and pork. Both of them had a different broth , again pork one being much more flavourful. It had noodles , meat , egg , shredded vegetables and meat. A bit spicier than the authentic one to suit the local palate. But can be customized according to one’s choice. Chicken Bami Goreng was their newest addition, this was much better than what a few pan Asian restaurants serve. It had a slight sweetness to it and that’s how it had to be. The chicken as well was really good with the noodles.
