Food is delicious but service leaves a lot to be desired. Twice they had us wait over 45 minutes from the estimated time. Once, dining in, the second time, ordering pick up. Tonight I tried to call to place order for pick up and they never answered phone. Left voice mail an didn't come back to me in half an hour. Had to order somewhere else. They are totally unreliable. read more

This place is a Yo Yo one time you get gr8 food next time it might be horrible. That's what happened to us last time we were there. We ordered samosa and it was soft seemed undercooked full of oil. Veg monos were good. The curries were very nothing to talk about. read more

Absolutely the best! The food is delicious with many options to choose from! Consistently great food and excellent service!

Wow! The food and drink were excellent. I had lamb and Tibetan noodles with Naan bread. It was glorious. My server made the most delicious Ginger Peach margarita in the world. The food and drink was generous worth every penny. I just wish they would add yak to the menu as there are numerous yak producers near by. read more

Himalayan Bistro - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

See all

Absolutely yummy. I like the ability to choose between mild, medium or spicy. The dal soup is really good. The smell of the restaurant as you enter is very nice and gives the feeling that the food will be great. Friendly service. Many options when it comes to type of food and level of spice. I've been there several times and tried their biryani, curry, stew and all is great. It's definitely one of our favorite restaurants. read more

Ordered: Eggplant Curry Verdict: Blaaaaand. No spice flavor and no heat. I didn't feel any desire to finish the whole dish. Clearly designed for the generic American pallette. Also overpriced. This place isn't surpassing Everest Cafe anytime soon. This place is meant to be a somewhat upscale spot for a Friday night, what with the modern design and bar. So I guess if you're into that then that's a plus. read more

Had dinner there last night and was very good. Help was very nice even though they were really busy well worth it!! Smitty

Have been here twice for lunch and have really enjoyed the food and service both times. First time I had a sampler dish and the second time Himalayan curry, both delicious. Chai is good. So glad to have this type of food so close by! read more

Fabulous EVERY time! We love everything at HB. Coconut curry , lamb roti,tandoori chicken, naan, saag, biryani.

Great food...poor service. My daughter, 2 year old grandson and I dined there for the first time 2/15/19. We were immediately seated with menus. We were not cared for again for 42 minutes! We were seated at a front table and the hostess had to walk right in front of us to seat new guests! I stood up in her way trying hard to get attention and ask that a waiter see us. We were not offered even water. When I was just ready to walk out I gave one last effort and demanded attention. A woman came and poured water and asked it we were ready to order. I stated we have been ready a long time! She snapped at me saying she was trying to rectify that situation! She handed us off to another who was excellent. We were glad we stayed! The food was wonderful. If they get their service problems addressed it will be a successful restaurant. read more

I'm really kicking myself for not trying Himalayan Bistro out sooner. I came in for a quick dinner at the bar and had fast, friendly service and the best Asian food I've experienced since moving to Fort Collins 2 years ago. I had a vegetable samosa, bowl of dal soup, and garlic naan and it was all excellent. The naan was probably the best naan I've ever had. So. Dang. Good. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu. Tara served me and she was great. Highly recommend. read more

Let me start by saying the food was GREAT!! The reason I'm giving it such low rating is the sheer incompetence of our waiter. We were there for dinner on Saturday August 26th, my husband's birthday. Once we got seated, my friend pulled aside a waiter (not our waiter but someone else) and asked her to bring out a cake or some dessert for his birthday AS A SURPRISE at the end. She said yea that's totally fine and she'll let our waiter know. In the mean time, our waiter comes to take our dinner order but can't keep the order straight. He kept mixing up the order but REFUSED to write it down. Eventually, after repeating the order 5 times he said he got it (which he didn't because our order wasn't correct!). After placing the order, we were just sitting at the table talking when the waiter comes up to us and said "so, you guys wanted a cake with a candle for someone's birthday. Right?" So there goes the surprise!! Needless to say, I was visibly unhappy at this point. So, a manager (maybe even the owner?) came up to our table. We explained to him what happened, and the manager just laughed. The waiter at least apologized but the manager didn't even do that much. He just started laughing as if it was all a joke. Seriously, it's not really a difficult request to make at a restaurant. I've done this at countless restaurants and never had such a bad experience or such an incompetent waiter (I think his name was Dustin). Eventually, more than an hour later, we got our food which was also not correct. But by this point, we had spent so much time waiting that sending it back would have meant we'd never get out so we just ate whatever was served. Thankfully, everything tasted really good. I think our whole experience there could have been much better if we only had a more competent waiter! Of course, there was no surprise dessert because the wait would have been another 45 mins and we just wanted to get out of that restaurant. read more

Amazing food, the flavor was very nice and clean. Also there was enough spice to make me sweat and I like it hot! The naan isn't the best I've had but still good. Portions were large and relatively cheap for two people. I had the chicken tikka masala and the gf had chicken tendorri. I have to say the tebdorri was spicy and in a good way. I would come here again. Highly recommended if you like Indian/Nepalese cuisine or anything related go here ! read more

Bomb. The food was delicious. I've had Indian food a handful of times but was never really excited about it until we came here. We ordered appetizers, the fried onions (loved the spicy green sauce) and the spinach dip with naan bread; they were both very unique in texture and flavor. We also ordered some coconut curry and the mixed grill, again both very different and super tasty. My husband likes it spicy and I forgot to ask for spice (boo), they hit the mark on his plate. I love garlic so the garlic naan is to die for. Other than the food the restaurant was well lit and had a nice and cold aroma. It was too cold in there it was hard to get comfortable. The wait staff were very accommodating but didn't communicate too well with each other so we were waited on late. Which in turn made us late and we had to pack up and leave without eating dinner at the restaurant. Not entirely bad because we had other obligations but we showed with plenty of time. But we will be back to hopefully stay and try dessert. They had decent prices for large portions, I felt like this was a treat. (I didn't want to google the menu to figure out the names of the dishes exactly, apologies) read more

Lovely owners, good atmosphere, fast takeout, and GREAT food! I love the tofu tikka masala and coconut curry.

Wow, what can I say? One of the best secrets in Fort Collins. Great atmosphere, delicious food and quality service. Ordered the veggie coconut curry and garlic naan. There isn't a better bite. Ice cream is home made. This food is made with quality and love. A must try! read more

One word: Delicious! It's never too busy when I've gone. Wait staff is good. Atmosphere ok. But it's the food that brings me back. Try it. I think you'll like it. read more

Oh my YUM! I've never had Himalayan food before, and I am so impressed! Fresh, interesting spices, great portions, and TASTY! We'll be back! read more

This restaurant is delicious. The vibe of the restaurant is upscale, great service and a delicious meal. We had the vegetarian momos, palak paneer, tandoori lamb chops, and the Dahl soup. Everything was amazing. Finally in Ft.Collins we have a restaurant with this type of food and great ambiance. read more

Good food. BAD SERVICE. If you don't mind being frustrated while you wait on your food....or have it come out with the app arriving after your main course....or if you don't mind being charged $10 for a glass of wine that was listed on the menu for $8....then this is your place ! read more

This new bistro brings it all to the table; warm modern atmostphere, great food and excellent service. The decor has many influences of Nepal while having a moderal natural feel. There are beautiful woods and stone used and don't forget to take note of the gorgeous hand painted mural. The food is authentic and very generous for the price. All the dishes are well plated in traditional serving ware of pounded copper and brass. A beautiful presentation on crisp white linens. Then there is the service. You'll receive a friendly greeting at the door with consistent follow through during the entire meal. The owner is usually present and likes to visit his guests during their stay. He is from Nepal and enjoys delighting his guest with a full cultural experence. Enjoy! read more

Was quite excited to give this place a try out. I went with the basic/common pick for starters of Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan. In all with tip came to around $24. The meal however was very disappointing unfortunately. The chicken Tikka Masala lack depth in flavor and was more cream than rich in spices. The Tikka masala tasted more buttery/sweet and lacked salt. It smelled good, but didn't live up to its scent. The Garlic Naan was also lackluster sadly. The garlic non also did not have much flavor and seemed to just have been pressed into minced garlic, could have been pared with a little parsley and salt maybe, but over all the meal was not worth the price. read more

If you like Himalayan food - this place is for you! The bread is Ah mazing! I am not a huge fan of Asian food, but this place was pretty good. Just a bit on the strong side with the spices! read more

The food was averagish. But the service was good the server was courteous and prompt. A tip for those looking for paneer naan , the cheese naan is not paneer its actually cheese. read more

I can give Zero star as there was no food served after 45 minutes of wait. Our order was very basic order - One curry, naans ( that's it) and they could not serve in more than 45 minutes. I have to leave the restaurant with hungry stomach and cranky kids. read more

Amazing food. Much better than any Indian food in Denver or the rest of Fort Collins. Had the chai and veg pakoras yesterday and paneer korma the first time I went a few days ago. Everything was hot and flavorful. Excellent naan as well. read more

This is not a place to get an even relatively quick lunch, service was extremely slow, with only two waitresses for the entire restaurant. It took nearly two hours start to finish for lunch. Even the appetizer soup that comes with the meal took a long time to be served. There was a distinct smell coming from their bathrooms which made the restaurant carry an unappetizing odor. Fortunately when the food finally came out it was delicious. I will likely order again for takeout but would probably skip the dining experience. read more

I love trying new fun food. Nice surprise. Authentic, yummy food. Quick service. However, once our family was starving and went here. Walked in, welcomed, sat and then told they couldn't help us because they were closing in 15 minutes. Disappointing and rude. I have worked in restaurants. It is awful to be ready to go home when a table walks in last minute, I get it. But tell me that at the door. Just need to work out some of these customer service issues. Otherwise, a huge hit read more

Amazing every time! Every dish is tasty and they make an effort to use organic ingredients which is important to us, especially when we take the kids out. I've had the eggplant curry, lamb curry, chicken moma, and korma. All the dishes I've have been much better than most anything else I've eaten in Fort Collins. I highly recommend Himalayan Bistro. read more

Well let's just start by saying Asian food isn't my most favorite nor do I have much experience with this genre. Stopped into this place for lunch and the service was pretty good. Didn't catch our waiters name though. I got the Chicken Tandoori. It was very similar to fajitas in the presentation and taste. Seasoned chicken over grilled pepper, onion, and tomato. It was pretty good along with the rice that came with it. My favorite part was the garlic bread we ordered. That stuff was pretty good. read more

I really like the coconut curry and saag paneer here, and the restaurant is very nice inside. However, the 3 times we have gone, the service has been very slow (in the middle of the day, when there were very few people there). Additionally, it would be nice to incorporate a lunch menu with lunch menu prices. The reason we don't go here for lunch very often anymore is that the price is very prohibitive -- it generally costs over $15-17/person after everything and for lunch that is very expensive for acceptable (not exceptional) food and service. read more

The service was unenthusiastic, but more importantly the food was not great. The tandoori chicken didn't have the flavor or appearance of tandoor. read more

This place is a great Nepalese restaurant. The masala, tandoori, naan etc are all excellent. It has a great atmosphere for a date night and you can easily split some chicken Tika masala with an app for cheap. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because it doesn't seem very authentic( though still delicious) and I have to compare it to Yak and Yeti in Denver which is amazing! Definitely recommend though read more

We went to the restaurant one week after opening. Although we had some service hiccups (we waited almost an hour to eat), the food was excellent. They admitted they needed one more cook and we also arrived late - around 8 pm and they were out of several dishes. Fort Collins restaurants generally close around 9 it seems. I want to give them a break given that starting a new restaurant has its issues - my stepson is a restaurant chef and unfortunately sometimes, it takes a week or two to work through opening issues - hence the usual soft openings. It is very nice to eat at a restaurant with real linens and some ambience - not too loud and great photography on the wall. It was less expensive to buy a bottle of wine than a glass. The naan bread was excellent. We had 1) the momo entree - excellent 2) Thukpa soup - basically a chicken noodle soup - flavorful but needed some spice or something (this would be great for kids), 3) chicken Tibetan noodles and 4) thenduk. Our server did not ask if we wanted to extra spice and it is not indicated on the menu, but having been to other Indian restaurants, we asked for extra spice. It was worth it. The Tibetan noodles and momo were the best. Note: the portions are large so be prepared to split or take some home. If your take home dish is still too spicy, mix some coconut milk and chicken broth together, add to your dish. It will tame the sauce. I want to give the bistro another try after they get another cook. The dishes are excellent - just read the descriptions carefully. If it states broth and noodles only, it's a soup. Give the bistro a try - having come from Houston with a zillion Indian, Tibetian, Himalayan, Pakistani options, it's nice the owner is offering a bit more upscale choice here in Fort Collins. Colorado Casual is OK, but real linens and quiet music are a nice option occasionally. Also, the prices are VERY affordable for the size portions. Not sure how they do it but I am not complaining! Correct the service, hire a cook and you get a five! read more

Delicious!! Everything we had was so amazing and the service was great too. The food takes awhile since it's made to order, but it's well worth the wait! Highly recommend the Momo dumplings, Saag with chicken, Dal soup, and mango Lassi, so good! Will come back again and again! read more

We arrived at 5 and it took an hour to get food. The paneer in my shahi paneer was tough, and it was garnished with what looked like Mexican shredded cheese blend. read more

I would gladly eat here every time I am in Fort Collins. The Dal soup, served with most meals, is exceptional! Almost all menu items can be made vegetarian. The two curries that I've tried are excellent. The atmosphere is nice, including cloth tablecloths. They brought me some of the chile paste that they use for heat--use with caution... :) read more

This is one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in town!! Thenessa was one of the first people I encountered. She is hands-down one of the best servers at any of the restaurants I frequent. She is so friendly, makes you feel right at home, and offers excellent suggestions! She helped me realize that I can order the Saag dairy-free and it's unbelievably good. And the Dal soup, I need that recipe! :) The owners are super nice, hire great employees, and the food is divine. They will make things to your spice level which is a big help when I go out with friends who like different spice levels. I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you order. read more

*Updated - Wasn't aware hours changed. So happy to hear all is good!* Went there today, 5pm on a Sunday. They're closed. Did they shutdown? Disappointed. They seemed to be doing well. read more

I enjoyed a lovely lunch here today. Upon entering I was warmly greeted and offered a seat of my choosing at tables with linen tablecloths. However, being alone, I opted for the a seat at the bar. The server was very sweet and genuine. I ordered the Saag which was delicious and came with Dahl and Naan. I will be back to explore more of their interesting menu! read more
