I've been going here for over a decade with my mom , and the service obviously is always a 10 out of 10. The chicken tikka masala Is always amazing and so flavorful! and the ambience is always so refreshingly welcoming and it's a great vibe. Also great service by Sunny and all the staff thank you so much.! read more

Had the most delicious dinner with friends. Ordered the chicken tikka masala and it was so full of flavor and way more than enough to share! Our waiter Sunny is the best and really made us feel taken care of! Great ambiance and experience overall! read more

SUNNY! Thank for all the great recommendations. My second time here and had no idea what to order; EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!! So good that there was no time to take a picture! From the lentil soup to the rice pudding and everything in the middle: SUPER YUMMY! From the friendly greeting when you walk in to the wonderful atmosphere. Don't forget to stop off at their little wall of merch. Thank again for the great speedy service. read more

What a bummer! This is the 2nd time we came to eat here & the Naan was not fresh. In fact we all think it is store bought (you can see the little factory holes in it). It was thin and hard and not like it's suppose to be. The last time we came, we thought maybe they just ran out and had to buy some, but now we know it's crappy unfresh naan. Also, my chicken was luke warm if barely warm at all when it was served. It's too bad cause this was our favorite Indian place, but we will not be going back until we know that these issues are fixed. I know times are tough these days financially, but the owner should know that his place is not doing well. Also, some guy in a baseball cap was roaming around lost about where food was suppose to go. Thumbs down. read more

Himalaya Fresh - Hard store bought naan. Got cold & hard in seconds. - Indian Near Me - Ventura, California

I can't believe I've lived in Ventura my entire life, and I've never tried this place. It's really delicious, fresh and authentic. I tried their saag naan and their chicken biryani and it was so delicious. I got level four spice and it was spicy enough for me. I don't think I could go any hotter, but they can make hotter lol. I definitely want to come back and try other dishes. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they checked on us multiple times and made sure we had water. Would definitely recommend! It is not in the best part of town, but do not let that deter you please. read more

My favorite Indian food in all of California. I've lived all around the central coast and South Bay and ventura county. I love the service and sunny was my most recent server and he was delightful. I'm vegetarian and they've provided tofu tikka masala too before which I absolutely love. My friends love the chicken tikka masala and the vegan dishes. They also have pizza and burritos and fun foods for kids and families. Highly recommend. read more

So lucky that we chanced upon this place during our visit to Ventura. Lovely ambiance with Nepal themed decor. The food was amazing! They were super busy on a Saturday evening. The food took some time to come out but was well worth it. Gobi Manchurian was very well done. Momos were excellent! The Chai was great too! read more

Really good Indian/Nepalese restaurant. The reviews speak for themselves. Came in for lunch and it wasn't too busy. Food was prepared relatively quick. Portions were reasonable and flavors were good. Nice cup of complimentary lentil soup with the food. read more

My wife and I treat ourselves to this place a few times a month. It's great. I used to not enjoy this cuisine for most of my life, then I tried different plates from Himalaya and they changed my mind. I would recommend this to anyone. read more

Himalaya Fresh is a favorite for Indian/Himalayan whenever visiting downtown Ventura, and is reliably our lunchstop after hitting all the cool shops, history, and parks along Main Street. Walking distance from Museum of Ventura County, Mission San Buenaventura, and Vita Art Center, if any of that's your thing. The food is clearly prepared with such care and such fresh ingredients and some novel appetizers ... tried the aloo palak on this last trip, which was delicious, filling, and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of kick. Lots of vegetarian/vegan options, too. The staff -- notably Sunny, who somehow remembers us every time we visit -- is so welcoming. Seating is spacious. Serving sizes are large and make for great leftovers. Five stars. read more

This is my favorite Himalayan restaurant in Ventura--I'd even go as far as to say it's my favorite Indian/Himalayan restaurant I've ever been to. The food is consistently incredible, but what truly sets this place apart is Sunny. His hospitality is unmatched, and he makes every guest feel genuinely welcome. The service is warm, attentive, and always exceptional. The atmosphere is beautiful as well. The décor and stunning murals of the Himalayan mountains make you feel like you've been transported to Nepal while you enjoy your meal. To top it all off, we always end our meal with a complimentary serving of creamy rice pudding, which is such a thoughtful touch and the perfect way to finish an amazing dining experience. If you're in Ventura and looking for outstanding Himalayan cuisine, this place is an absolute must-visit. Five stars every time! read more

Had dinner here on Father's Day. Hands down some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Everything was amazing with fast and friendly service. This place is a gem! read more

Great service every time, the masala chai is exceptional, and my personal favorite dish is the tandoori artichoke

Lovely spot in a shopping mall (parking available). Staff is attentive, and we were seated almost immediately. They even have some outdoor seating. High-backed booths offer privacy without feeling like you're boxed in. Well lit and comfortable. Whole page of vegetarian (and vegan) options available. Varied appetizers, biryani, meals for two, and even an ayurvedic meal option. Beer, wine, soda. Everything you'd expect, plus a few less common options. The food was fresh, very flavorful, and decent portion size (don't be fooled by the decorative bowls they serve in - there is more than it looks like). Found this recommended by locals in a Reddit thread (some responses from several years ago) - and it's obvious why this restaurant is still around. Damn good food at good prices. read more

Himalaya is a family run and is well known for preparing some of the best Nepalese/Indian food in the area. I took my daughter for lunch today. Service was quick, friendly, and helpful. The restaurant offers a quiet, soothing atmosphere that made our lunch even more enjoyable. The spicy naan was delicious, and my lamb vindaloo well spiced and very tender. Prices were very reasonable. read more

A wonderful surprise Ventura treat in an "old mall area" across from a closed Burger King! After a 26+ miles bike ride on the Coastal Pacific Trail route, a fellow biker & dear friend took me here for a most delightful & tasty dining experience! The service is supreme, "Sunny" was most pleasant, friendly, and accommodating. He took time telling us what our dishes were and the tastes were extraordinary! It's similar to Indian cuisine where you can request spiciness in numbers from 1 to 5. I ordered 2 and it needed more!=o) The sumptuous feast starts with Chai tea and culminates with a rich, flavorful rice pudding... A truly great place for a "Viking" Feast after a marathon ride or just with families & friends! The ambiance is unique and curiously pleasing as we sat next to shelves of merchandise and a Buddhist altar. I had forgotten what we ordered since my fellow Viking (biking) paid for the sumptuous feast but you can see them in the pix... We were served with generous, meaty servings, unlike other restaurants, perfectly cooked basmati white rice, and warm & delicious garlic naan... what a feast! There was enough food to bring home to my wife for a surprise meal and she loved it! The food was so good she was motivated to find a similar restaurant serving the same dishes the following day... If you need to excite your senses and send your palate to adventurous heights, come eat here! This place is highly recommended to bring families and friends for a great lunch or a romantic dinner... We will definitely be back as this place made my list as one of my favorite places to dine in Ventura County! read more

My favorite spot for Indian cuisine, and such great service! Great staples but make sure and try the mango lassi!

I came here with a friend based on her recommendation. Food was good. Service was good as well. The restaurant is really put together. I had the butter chicken, medium spice however, it could've been more spicy, which I would have enjoyed a bit more. The garlic naan was really good as well. My friend had the chicken tikka and she really enjoyed it as well. I tried their mango chutney but It was really spicy. The yogurt appetizer was good. I will return here again. read more

Been here multiple times and have brought different people with me and have left happy every time! Service has been on par and cleanliness of the restaurant as well. It's a good size restaurant not too small and not too big. They have a small area against the wall to the left displayed with small items you can purchase. I've had different dishes and I don't recall a dish I didn't like. Chicken tikka masala was perfectly seasoned and chicken was not dry. Tofu saag was cooked well. Tofu came in small to medium sized cubes and spinach was lightly chopped. It all meshed well together and was not overly flavored or spiced. Garlic cauliflower reminded me of orange chicken with a slight kick to it. Perfectly crisp but not overly fried. So good! Aloo Cauli had a good consistency. Still had a nice crunch to it but soft enough to bite into easily . Sauce was lightly flavored and paired well with the chickwn tikka masala . Garlic naan is always a must ! Papadam is a thin and crunchy snack, served with mint chutney and tamarind chutney on the side for dipping I loooove to start the meal with. Samosa is a triangular shaped pastry filled with spiced mashed potato and some veggies . I like to dribble some of the tamarind chutney to add some flavor to it. Mo Mo (steamed) reminds me of a steamed gyoza. The dipping paste interestingly pairs well with it. It's served cold and soft. Kheer is a dessert rice pudding. Served cold and lightly sweet. read more

Very good spot, Food was authentic and taste good. Excellent service and out 10 of 10. Recommended!!

Since my review 10 months ago the restaurant has changed names but it's still the same great owner, staff and food. We live 45 minutes away and routinely make plans in this area just so we can come here to eat. The fried momo, sherpa curry and chicken korma are still our favorite! Lately we also can't leave without some rice pudding read more

We ate here based on the recommendations of friends. Delicious food and friendly service. We had samosas, butter chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Parking was plentiful and close by. read more

My first time having Nepalese/Indian/Tibetan food in about 7 years. I had always heard about Himalaya and decided to stop by for lunch. I dined in and was given lentil soup as an appetizer. i started off with samosas and naan, I love samosas with tamarind sauce and the cheese and spinach naan I could eat on their own for a meal. I also got steamed chicken momos, the momo sauce pairs perfectly, the spices are well balanced and stand out on their own, not muddled. I ordered the Lamb Vindooloo with a side of rice. I enjoy lamb very much when prepared correctly and the cook seasoned the meat and cooked it perfectly, did not taste gamey at all. After I thought I could not eat another bite, I was pleasantly served the cold ginger rice pudding. So sweet, simple and refreshing. I will be back, the food was too good not to, I look forward trying the tikka masala mango lassi read more

Himalaya Fresh - Samosas w/ cheese & spinach naan - Indian Near Me - Ventura, California

Needed a pick me up for lunch today and was craving something filling, rich, and comforting. Indian food is usually my go to and I was eager to try something a little different as I was working on the Ventura side of town. I remembered Himalaya as it's been open for years and decided today was the day to finally give them a go. I can't rate on interior, ambiance or staff at this time since I only did delivery for this business but hoping to get the full experience some other time when I can stop in. As far as delivery goes this spot has a great menu. I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the options they had to choose from. They had all of the Indian staples I've come to know and love but I was also pretty hyped to see they had Indian pizza and some other cool but non traditional dishes. When ordering from somewhere for the first time though I play it safe with my usuals. I went with the chicken tikka masala, butter naan, and white basmati rice. Kudos to their delivery packaging as everything was clearly marked, traveled well and packaged safely. My order was delivered correctly and with everything I could need which made me very happy! As far as the food goes it's a solid 4 stars from me for now. My chicken tikka masala was good and hit the spot. I just think with so many Indian restaurants and similar dishes, I have others that I would place in my top five. The masala was good here but nothing out of this world. For a casual lunch though I was happy with it. The rice was on point and their butter naan was flavorful and had a lite char which I could appreciate. Definitely not a bad option if you are on this side of town. Just not sure for me yet it stands up to other 5 star competitors. read more

Amazing food and great service! Great experience all around! Will be back! Our server was very sweet and on top of everything!

First time here and always wanted to try it. The place hides in a strip mall, the inside is characterized by old style booth and some tables plus an outdoor area, plenty of seating. The welcome was pretty cold, showed up with a kid and never got delivered a rolled napkin with the setup nor a glass for water. I was already kinda turned down. Let's go to the food.. ordered MO MO, butter chicken, vegetarian curry, rice pudding. The food is definitely fresh, made to order and the flavors definitely on point. The service 3 starts, the food 5 stars. Maybe an off night? Be back again to try (the menu is worth it) !! read more
