Himalayan Cuisine SF: Reviews & Ratings
The food is super authentic and delicious. Usually I used to order online from DoorDash but today decided to dine in. Hot Masala tea after thali was beyond my expectations. Taste made me to remember my mom back in Nepal. Thank you for the complementary Chiya(tea). Will definitely come back and will recommend my friends and family.
Good taste, great portions. Had the vegetable samosas which were perfect. The biryani rice included bursts of flavor from chopped vegetables and very tender lamb chunks. Tandoori chicken was tender and juicy. Great mango lassie.
Came here by chance, and came again two days later because we were so delighted! Such delicious food, very well-priced and generous portions. We sampled quite a bit and can’t pick our favourite dish! Very friendly and attentive staff! Can’t wait to come here again
The dishes we ordered were fantastic. The aroma and the taste was so on-point , very authentic. Service was quick and the place sets a nice ambiance.
This place has decent prices, but it’s still slightly higher than you would pay at most Indian places, especially if you compared to other cities with large amounts of Indian restaurants. The food portions are pretty decent and I have to say the food is tasty so at least you get good quality food for the price you pay. The place is a little bit dated, but it is nice overall and the service is pretty good. It’s nice because it’s in the neighborhood where you can get other food as well and walk around.
My husband and I walked into this restaurant with no booking. We were warmly greeted and welcomed in. Everything on the menu sounded delicious but sadly with only two tummies we could not consume everything. With some guidance we ordered the Himalayan lamb thali - medium spicy, Jhol momo chicken - medium spicy and mango lassi. Everything and i mean everything was incredible. What added to the experience was the service and care provided by every staff. They were so attentive. One waiter overheard our conversation of wanting to order the ras malai. A few moments later he appeared with a small serve of ras malai, on the house, as he realised, we were served gulab jamun instead, with our thali. Affordable pricing with a 5 star experience. A must visit. P.s. photos don't do justice and I missed some.
I had the vegetable thali and a mango lassi. The food was delicious, only problem was my stomach wasnt big enough for all of it! I recommend the thali plates for sure as they give you a sample of different dishes. There are also flatbreads and sauces given when you sit down before your food comes out. The staff were very friendly and kind and the interior is really lovely, with beautiful paintings on the walls. Definitely worth checking out!
Best Nepali restaurant in town.Love the food and people are amazing. Price range is perfect and portions are just great. Highly recommend their Chicken Chow-mien best flavor and AMAZING PORTION SIZING, one plate easily feeds 2/3 person. Hands down greatt food. Highly recommend.
