    Chicken Tikka Masala with Naan Bread
    Kathy W.

    Himalaya hits the spot, especially on a rainy day (which we seem to be having a lot of lately). Not far from the Berlin train station, Himalaya is takeout only, and seems to have been for some time. The dining room is darkened and blocked off, with a sign directing you to the pickup table. There was a noticeable smell of mold upon entering...possibly due to the aforementioned rain? But the food was perfectly fine, if a little chilly in temperature. Nothing a quick zap in the microwave can't fix. I went with good ol' chicken tikka masala, but there are plenty of options for the more adventurous. You are required to choose a spice level, and as the heat increases, so does the price! I chose "mild" but would definitely kick it up a notch or two next time. All in all, I enjoyed my quick lunch and would put Himalaya on the short list next time I'm craving Indian takeout.

    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Katie E.

    We ordered takeout from Himalaya tonight (upon pickup we realized it's takeout only anyway.) It's a rainy cold day here so Indian food is always a cozy comfort food option to us. The food was ready in 25 minutes as promised. Everyone there is quiet, but polite and kind. The tikka masala is a home run. The flavors are on point and the best we've had since our favorite Indian place in Wallingford closed down pre covid. The color is stunning and the depth of flavor is unmatched. The portion is generous also - we split the entree and were stuffed. The picture I posted was half an entree for reference. Next time I would ask to kick up the heat(spice) a notch as it is very mild. Please note that in general I prefer food very spicy. So if you do not like spice, please know you can order this without fear. We also ordered vegetarian samosas and garlic naan. Both were a nice surprise and even better than we imagined. This is our new go-to for Indian and we will be frequent flyers for sure!

    Somewhere over China Six thousand miles away I could buzz the Himalayas Barrel roll above Hong Kong Set her down in San Francisco To the clanging of the gong (Jimmy Buffett) I walked into Himalaya yesterday fully expecting to see a lunch buffet, but either I misread some reviews or they have changed their lunch buffet policy. Oh well, I was in the mood for Indian, so I stayed and as I was checking out the menu, a nice complimentary dish of very thin and crisp poppadum (Indian bread) and a trio of sauces and chutneys appeared. There were sweet onions in a mild red sauce, a light brownish sweet sauce that reminded me of a vinaigrette, and a mildly spicy green sauce. I finished all of them! I went straight to the lunch menu and chose Shrimp Korma ($10.90) with a medium spice level. Very soon, I had three dishes plopped onto my table - a nice portion of Basmati rice, quite a few slices of Naan bread, and a piping hot dish with five shrimp in a traditional Indian Curry sauce. It tasted great, and that medium level spice was a sneaky bastard, it had a slow developing burn and I loved it. Thank you Himalaya, I had a very enjoyable lunch indeed, no buffet withstanding.

    Garlic Naan

    We love good Indian food and luckily we found his spot only 10 minutes from home. Just be aware right now it is takeout or delivery only. We ordered the lamb samosa app garlic naan, lamb korma, and lamb vindaloo. When I got home and opened the bag I was pleasantly surprised! They packed that thin cracker I believe is called papadum with different dipping sauces...oh so tasty. The lamb samosa had nice spices mixed in the ground lamb with a nice crisp on the outside. Garlic naan had lots of garlic and herbs on it. Both entrees were delicious and came with rice to serve with. Definitely worth a try if your craving Indian!

    The food was not very flavorful and the meat seemed low quality. The freshly baked naan was great though.

The aloo dam was tasty and flavourful, and it would have paired wonderfully with rice or some sort of bread. The veg momos were steaming hot and fresh. The sauces that came with them added a lot of flavour: I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed the momos as much without them. The veg thali came with rice, greens, dal, cauliflower gravy, aloo dam, kheer and pickles. The dal was the standout item. It was my first time trying Tibetan butter tea, and the server warned me that it would be a little salty. The tea had a lovely nutty flavour and thin consistency. I enjoyed it from the perspective of novelty, but I'm not sure if I'll get it again. The server was extremely sweet and service was prompt. The ambience was very pretty, with Tibetan bric a brack and art on the walls. The music was also very soothing. One caveat however is that the food is very, very light and simple, and probably not one immediately thinks of as being "restaurant food" - it has a homemade quality to it. Portions are quite small, and prices are relatively high. Overall, I will return and likely try the chowmein and thukpa.

Chicken was overcooked as well. **chow mein- very greasy **chilli chicken- sweet and spicy, I didn't enjoy the sweetness. It had some crunchy veggies. **veggie momos- avoid them if possible. The filling was somehow just not apt for the momo. Overall, the food was greasy, quantities were pathetically less.

    The hype is legit. Food, ambiance and service were all exceptional…read more We were warmly greeted upon arrival and sat at a cozy table near the stage where they had fantastic live music. My husband and I both got tikka masala dishes. He got chicken and I got the shrimp. In hindsight I wish I had tried the Saag just so we could have tasted a different sauce. However, the tikka masala was truly the best we've ever had. And we are always chasing excellent food so we've had our share. The dumplings were great but we would likely opt for a different appetizer as they didn't really blow us away. The service though is really what puts this place over the top. We were in a bit of a time crunch so I'm disappointed we couldn't stay longer and try dessert so we will definitely be back when we can make it down to SoNo again.

Service felt a bit understaffed, our first order took a while, and our second order never arrived. They did try to make it right, but by then we had already been there a couple of hours and the kids were definitely not going to keep sitting and waiting. We also had a small hiccup with the chai tea: it comes unsweetened with sugar on the side, but the sugar was forgotten at first. When it did arrive, there was no spoon and not quite enough packets. The chai itself was decent once we could actually sweeten it. The momos were surprisingly flavorful on their own, with a nice curry spice kick that made them enjoyable even without dipping sauce. The sauces they come with are also tasty, just be careful, as one has a pretty strong heat that lingers. We also had the chicken garlic soup, which was quite tasty with fried garlic chips on top. Overall, good food but service felt a bit overwhelmed that night.
