It's the best Himalayan food in the Bay Area. I've been here a couple times and I highly recommend it. I'm not sure whether you're allowed to eat inside anymore because of the days of Covid but you could certainly take the food to go and go to a park or something like that to say hi to Chef Deepak read more

Food -was authentic and delicious. Indian Tikka Masala medium spiced was perfect! with a Vegetarian biryani was wonderfully tasty (medium spice). Service was very personal - offered me tea chai as I waited and a seat. 15-20 minutes. I had just walked in. I will return! read more

Staff is extremely friendly and kind!... picked up chicken momos, egg fried rice, and egg noodles. Could be better! read more

Really bad chicken momos. I know authentic momo taste, this is no where close. Don't waste your money read more

Himalayan Chef Events & Catering - Chicken momos - Caterers Near Me - Newark, California

I was excited to see some variety in Newark and really wanted to like this place, but everything we ordered was average and I can't say I'd order again. We tried the chicken momos, mount everest chicken curry, egg noodle bowl, and veggie fried rice bowl. I'd say it represented a good vairety of items across the menu, but none really pleased. I was especially looking forward to the momos, but the dumpling skin was so thick it was almost doughy, and they were so packed with filling, which made them super heavy vs an appetizer. The chicken curry had potential, but the chicken itself was overcooked and very dried out. I barely ate it. The curry - not so bad. The noodle and rice bowls were stark opposites. The noodle bowl was flaming with spice - so much so that the heat was taking away from the flavors. In contrast, the rice was colorful and looked great, but had very little flavor. Overall, portion sizes were large, so that was a plus, but the food was just meh and a departure from other Himalayan flld we've tried. Good to try once, but I think that's pretty much it for us. read more

No doubt, they serve one of the best veggie and chicken momos in east bay. Compared to other near-by indo-chinese places, their price is a bit on the high side.. read more

I love this place! The owners are so friendly, and the food is amazing. I usually go on Yelp just to read reviews, but this place is so good I thought it's time to finally write one of my own. I really hope more people come and check them out! They definitely deserve it. I first tried them out last week, and I'm back already lol. My favorite dish is the vegan mushroom and cauliflower peas curry. But their salmon curry and Tibetan Shambala beef curry are also worth trying! And don't forget the side of naan along with the curry :) I would've taken pics, but I was so hungry and the food so good I didn't think about it until after - whoops read more

Highly recommended specially the salmon curry fish with rice, and the momo. Nice fusion of taste bud.

Updating my previous review: He catered our wedding, and we are so very happy for his wonderful services. Chef Deepak is an amazing Chef and just delightful to work with. We are vegetarians, and he was wonderful in creating a great menu. Appetizers were stuffed portobello mushrooms and bruschetta. The salad was absolutely delicious - mango and endive with vinaigrette. Entree was eggplant napoleon, spaghetti squash, creamy pesto tortellini, italian mixed vegetables, potatoes with herbs. All the attendees absolutely loved the food! As I mentioned previously, Chef Deepak had us over his home to choose the menu and select dishes. Chef Deepak was wonderful logistically. We went to the kitchen/event prior to the event, so he could have the kitchen set up. He arranged for servers at our wedding, which was wonderful as well. He also suggested a very good rental service where we got plates, dishes, etc. All these things made planning the event much easier. He was wonderful offering his advice on things to order for the event, and knowing the correct number of services and hours that were needed for their services. Chef Deepak is an amazing chef who is wonderful to work with. He really made our day special, and we are so very happy with his services. If we ever have any other catering needs, he will be our first call! Highly recommended! read more

This chef came to our office cafe as a guest chef today. All I can say is wow! I hope we have him back soon. Every dish was amazing.

We found Chef Deepak on Thumbtack. He just catered a birthday party at our house, for about 70 people. His business is new, so we had the tasting at his house (which was a charming and hospitable experience), and then he brought all the food to our house on the night of the event. He was prompt and clean and worked very hard. The food was DELICIOUS and our guests were thrilled. He brought very generous amounts of food, at a very reasonable price. He worked very cooperatively with us, to create the menu we wanted. We were overall thrilled to have met him, and wish him all the best! read more

For our son's graduation party we had an Italian cuisine theme. Chef Deepak was professional and outstanding from the taste testing through the whole event. Our guests raved about the amazing live station pasta dishes, the appetizers and the buffet menu items. Chef Deepak clearly understood his audience and had the perfect amount of taste & Spice to give everyone a very good culinary experience making our party a success. Along with his staff, Chef Deepak presented the absolutely delicious food with style and left the place neat and clean. We would highly recommend Himalayan Chef Events & Catering and will definitely select them for another event. read more

Chef Deepak was on time, paid a close attention to detail and logistics, and served excellent food at our post wedding brunch. In preparation for our event, Deepak assisted in choosing menu items that would serve both vegetarian Indians and meat eating Midwesterners. He was also flexible with the menu items to accommodate our needs, even bringing extra fruit which we hadn't planned (it was nice with the sunny weather). We were very busy with other wedding tasks, so it was a real help to have someone so on top of things. He even visited the event space a week in advance to ensure it would accommodate all our needs (it was park, so outdoors). As for the food, the mix of Italian and Indian worked great for an early lunch. Our Indian guests loved the biryani, aloo ghobi with raiti and naan, while the Midwesterners enjoyed the shrimp scampi and tri colored pasta. I would highly recommend Deepak to anyone planning a catering event! read more

I'm so sad that Deepak will not be at Stanford on Mondays any more. It has been the weekly culinary highlight and we will miss him. Best of luck in your other ventures! read more
