On the buffet I went straight for the butter chicken (very well known Indian dish). The chicken was not properly cooked, it was rubbery. There was rice, naan bread, fruit and desserts. On the other hand, the goat curry came with...

rice only (NO NAAN??), so we asked for naan bread, we were informed that only the buffet had naan bread, the $18 goat dish did not. We questioned it because all Indian restaurants I been to serve naan bread with all Indian dishes. We were informed that the goat curry came with RICE or NAAN BREAD, not both. How can this be? This is like serving Mexican food without tortillas, or Italian without bread sticks. This is crazy.

Great Butter Chicken and Saag Paneer. I am doing keto so I asked for no rice or Naan. Wonderful service from Subash! I will be back!

The tandoori chicken is delicious and moist and the chicken tikka masala is excellent

For the entree we had chicken tikka and basmati rice and it is good as well. They serve the food from pot to your table, you can taste it's freshness. Price: 5/5, its very affordable.

We were driving from Jackson to Dallas and ended up picking Himalayan Cafe for lunch since we had a couple of people who are vegetarians. Indian restaurant in a smaller city - should confess that we really had very low expectations. The location is closer to the University, probably for a reason - to attract students and visitors to the University - it is a few minutes deviation from I-20 but was eventually worth it. I went in first to check on the place and was ushered by the server, she asked me to take any seat that I wished to. Instead, enquired about dishes that can be served since that was a big consideration for us since we wanted to reach Dallas before it got really late.

Got the family in and we didn't take long to decide what we wanted - ended up ordering Butter Chicken, Shrimp curry and Dal Tadka. You either get rice or Nan with it, we took a combination of the two and topped it with a Garlic Nan....

there, only 4 tables were occupied (around 2:30 PM on Sunday) and they just had 1 server which is fair. She seemed a bit unsure and low on confidence but then there was an innocent air about her which compensated for the lack of energy. One thing I would encourage her to get acquainted with is the menu. We asked for fish options and she was scrambling - straight answer would have been, "We don't serve fish, we have shrimps in seafood". We figure that out on our own!! The place was pretty big, they seemed to be having live performances too. Basic seating but the dining area is clean. The server preferred to receive gratuity in cash which we obliged - wonder why this is so. Bottom line - we will make this our stop over for road trips in this segment, the food really was very good & the service was pretty decent too.

We ordered from the lunch menu, which was allowed on Sunday, shrimp curry and chicken curry. Both were delicious, spicy but not too spicy! The trays the food is served on are much larger than they appear in photos, portions are...

UPDATE SINCE THEY DELETED MY REVIEW ABOUT PLASTIC MELTED IN MY TIKKA MISALA FROM 2022... mad weird as a company btw.... I went to Himalayan cafe multiple times throughout my time of living in Monroe. Service when eating in is great TOGO on the other hand there was PLASTIC melted into my food on multiple occasions and I finally had enough and took photos. Also the manager did nothing to try to make it right instead I'm seeing that they have deleted my review with proof of plastic melted into my food. Also on multiple occasion they would serve the lentil soup in a styrofoam container so hot that it would melt the styrofoam... just spare yourself and find a better less shady restaurant...

Stopped in while I was passing through. Great Butter Chicken and Saag Paneer. I am doing keto so I asked for no rice or Naan. Wonderful service from Subash! I will be back!

Lunch buffet: Gobi manchurian, paneer butter masala, sambar, dosa, cheese balls, paneer rice, pakodas, and much more!

Absolutely delicious and fantastic selection! I was worried there wouldn't be many vegetarian options in the buffet but I was very impressed! The dishes were delicious and well worth it. Will definitely be coming back!

Food was very good. Good service and pleasant setting. I had the Vegetarian Thali and it was ample. Just wish it had been served with naan.

Location: 5/5 very spacious and clean, enough parking space. Staff: 4/5 They we're nice, they explain what's in their menu, the only thing that made it 4 is that they don't check you often and ask what you need. Food: 5/5 We had C Momo and Chili chicken for appetizer and it was spectacular! Those who likes spicy food would love this. Its not hot, it's just fine. For the entree we had chicken tikka and basmati rice and it is good as well. They serve the food from pot to your table, you can taste it's freshness. Price: 5/5, its very affordable.

So, eaten there twice. Good food, but, even though they have a full bar, something was lost in translation. My friend and I ordered screwdrivers and waited 30 minutes for them to bring. Our food wasn't out either. They brought us Orange Crush over ice. It was Valentine's Day and they had one server who was unable to understand our orders...hope it makes it..... read more

Everything is made to order. The service is amazing. You are welcomed and made to feel at home as soon as you walk in. The owners are wonderful people and active in the community.

One thing I noticed is all the figures and little trinkets on the walls actually looked clean and not dusty, which tells me they take care of the place and clean well. It was pretty busy, but there was no wait. The server was nice and quick too. He was handling all the tables by himself and still made sure we were okay the whole time. They had a pretty good variety on the buffet -- curries, soups, salads, different meat options, and even chai. The restaurant is also connected to a grocery store, and from looking around they seemed to have a lot of stuff, so if you need to shop too this is probably a good spot. I also saw they have a bar area, but I'm not sure if it was open or not. Overall, everything was okay. Nothing super outstanding, but the buffet concept is good and convenient. I'd come back again.

There are all kinds of Budweiser mobiles and pub mirrors on the walls. There was even a vintage cigarette vending machine with pull knobs for each selection!
