    Adding to my previous samplings, the Chicken Curry. So fantastic! I really appreciate their perfect health deparment inspection scores too. The only bummer is that the lunch special is no longer a great deal, moving up to $13.95 from $11.95.

    Chicken Tikka Masala & Sag Aloo Lunch Special ($13.95) - I found the best and most bang for your buck lunch special in North County! I was astounded by how much food there was for the price, and it was all delicious. I loved how you could pick 2 curries because the sweetness of the Chicken Tikka Masala and spice of the Sag Aloo went so well together. Highly recommend!

    I thought this place was great! We kind of went at an odd time in the afternoon in between services of lunch and dinner. We were the only people in the restaurant and we made it there in time for the lunch special, which was a bonus. I was super hungry, I ordered a mango lassi and chicken MoMo for appetizer. When they brought out the mango lassi they also surprise me with a nice little bowl of a yellow daal soup. I scarfed them both down within minutes, which I kind of regret, because by the time of the rest of the food came out, I was almost full. The lunch specials came out before the MoMo but no big deal. The lunch special is really a great value. They give you a ton of food. You get two of the lunch items with rice and naan. I ate a little bit of it, but ended up taking most of it to work for lunch the next day. I had the vegetable korma and paneer tikka masala. I didn't get any spicey because I wasn't sure how hot they were gonna make it and the vegetable korma really could've used a little bit of spice, but it was still delicious. The paneer tikka masala was outstanding, had so much flavor in it. The MoMo was also fantastic and we did eat all of those because I didn't think they were going to hold up well if we took them home. I love how they made them with almost like a little cup at the top that you could put some of the sauce in. Don't be like me though, and give them a few minutes to cool down, the broth inside the dumplings is super hot. I was so excited I bit into it a minute or two after it came out and I wish I had waited a little longer. I would absolutely return to this restaurant when I am in the area.

    Herbal garlic naan, basmati rice, palak paneer, and aloo bharta

    As a big fan of Indian food, I was excited to try this new spot in Escondido. It didn't disappoint. Very rich, velvety traditional Indian cuisine. We ordered the chicken momo, palak paneer, bharta aloo, herbal garlic naan, and tandoori chicken all at a spice level of 5 out of 10. All of the dishes were tasty. My favorite was the palak paneer and, to my surprise, the sauteed veggies under the chicken tandoori. The dishes came with plenty of plain basmati rice. I also ordered a mango lassi which was one of the best I've ever had. The herbal garlic naan was different and instead of cilantro contained fenugreek and a light blend of other seasonings. Really enjoyed it. Service was very polite. I was visiting with a friend from out of town and I appreciated that they never hovered or never made us feel rushed. They never pushed us to order, they kept refilling waters, and they didn't rush our check on us when they noticed our meal slowed down. Will definitely be returning.

    I had high expectations for this place since there aren't many restaurants like this around the area. Unfortunately I was disappointed, the flavors of some dishes were very similar. The service is good but we were only 2 tablets at dinner in the whole restaurant and it took a long time to get our food. The place is very hot and humid, it looks like they don't have air conditioning and there is no proper ventilation. The main dishes come with rice, unfortunately they never mention they add cumin to it which I'm not a fan of it, the food is already very seasoned so adding cumin to the rice is too much for me. Almost all dishes were very sweet, so it doesn't seem to have authentic Himalayan food. We ordered: - Nawaratan Korma.- very sweet. - Malai Kofta.- very sweet, so so. - Butter Chicken.- it doesn't taste as a a butter chicken, and similar flavor as the previous one . Too sweet. - Chicken Tandoori.- very bland, not recommended.

    Food at least tofu tikki masala was delicious or is, nice clean and cozy for sound mind warm calm setting. Ver friendly timely and welcoming!

    Vegetable coconut current with Paneer T Masala and Naan, soooo tasty!!
    Leo C.

    Update: same review of stars however needed to add this tidbit. I ordered online for pick up and nowhere on the menu or website does it say entrees come with rice only. No naan. This is very heartbreaking but wanted others to know in case you assume it does come with it and it doesn't.

    Food: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 4 We were craving Indian/Himalayan food and stumbled across Himalayan Chulo on Yelp -- and I'm so glad we did. As soon as we walked in, the gentleman at the front greeted us with a warm, friendly smile. There were a good number of people dining in, but it didn't feel crowded, and there was a steady flow of takeout orders, which is always a good sign. We ordered naan bread, pakora, saag paneer, and a chicken dish (I don't remember the exact name), and everything was fresh, flavorful, and extremely delicious. Every dish tasted homemade and authentic, and you could really tell the ingredients were high quality. Dessert was light and not overly sweet -- just the perfect ending to a very tasty meal. We definitely plan on returning and highly recommend this place. The food is outstanding, the service is warm, and it's easily one of the best Himalayan/Indian spots in the area

    Chicken momos
    Bonnie P.

    On a rainy Saturday, decided to treat myself by having Indian food. Lunch specials are Monday-Friday. Immediately greeted by the kind gentleman and given water. Ordered lamb tikka masala and chicken momos. Also can't pass up garlic naan. Place is very clean. Nice decor, cloth napkins. Lamb curry is delicious and very tender. Rice is very fragrant. Chicken momos had a delicate wrapper and generous flavor filled meat. The garlic naan was the thinnest, largest, flakiest I've ever had. Needless to say I have enough leftovers for dinner. They even provided a little cup for the momo sauce. Will definitely be back.

    45. Chicken Tandoori
    Jesseca H.

    Really good Indian food . We got the curry chicken . Order a spice level 4 if you want the perfect spice . A 5 will be hot . We also got the Tandoori Chicken . Super large portion . Comes with 7 pieces of chicken . The garlic naan and the papdam was so good and the mint chutney was amazing . Highly Recommend

    The delicious spread

    So grateful to find this awesome restaurant serving authentic Indian food. We ordered take-outs for a weekday lunch. Every dish was perfectly cooked. The Shrimp Briyani was rich with spices and served with a generous portion of large shrimps. My kids loved the Paneer Tikka Masala. The restaurant manager Manol was so friendly. The restaurant was very clean and smelled so good! Highly recommend to anyone who loves authentic Indian food.

    Inside of the 3. Vegetable Samosa. Sooo good!
    Kim P.

    Vegetable samosas were seasoned well, crispy and piping hot! The tamarind dipping sauce gave it a nice touch of sweetness. Garlic cilantro naan was buttery and cooked well - not an overcooked cracker like some other places. Chicken vindaloo was rich and had the perfect amount of spice. Saag aloo was the star of this meal for me. It was so creamy and packed with tons of flavor. Prices are very reasonable. I'll definitely be back and can't wait to try new dishes.

    52. Chicken Biryani
    Ed S.

    Not 5 stars. Not bad tho. Chicken Biryani was good, Butter Chicken mediocre. Chicken Tikka very good as was Golub Jaman. Sadly Onion Naan was almost inedible - way too may onions.

We ordered a standard fish taco, as well as octopus, marlin, and smoked tuna tacos, along with a sampler of the aguachile. We ordered the verde, mango, and tres chiles. Pros: - Friendly service; our waitress gave us some great recommendations as we were overwhelmed by the huge menu. - The tacos were fantastic. The tortillas were lightly griddled and not too thick. The octopus and fish tacos were very well-seasoned and flavorful. The marlin taco was a standout--it was lightly spicy, smoky, and well balanced with minced carrots and celery. - Decent portions, especially the aguachile. Each sampler dish had ~4-6 shrimps. My favorites were the verde (spicy salsa verde) and tres chiles (tasted like a limey, spicy chipotle salsa) Cons: - I was not a fan of the mango aguachile and would not order it again. I thought it would be a standard aguachile sauce with some fresh mango chunks, but it turned out to be shrimp marinated in this overly sweet, gloopy mango sauce that tasted like a melted mango popsicle. If you are sensitive to spice, I would make sure to check in with your waiter before ordering anything. I thought I had a medium spice tolerance but found myself huffing and puffing like a chud after eating the aguachile, lol. All in all, would visit again if I was in the neighborhood!

California Fish Grill is a solid choice when it comes to affordability and high quality. Was invited to a Yelp event previously and hadn't been back. Julie and I were in the neighborhood and were struggling to find a quality quick meal. We happened across a coupon for a free taco at California Fish Grill. Sadly the coupon had expired. The team quickly found a way to offer us something substantial instead. A current offer allows guests to download their app and receive a free Everything Protein Bowl. Such a great deal! Order at the counter or via the kiosk, have a seat and your order is brought out to you. Extremely easy and delicious. Along with the Everything Protein Bowl, Julie ordered the Grilled Salmon Salad. The bowl had a variety of seafood including Cajun shrimp, salmon, swai and grilled chicken served on a bed of white rice, beans, diced tomatoes and a chili mix. Great flavor and variety. The salmon was cooked perfectly and served with a lime vinaigrette. Seating is easy and the team clears dishes after you're done. They offer some "healthy sodas" along with some creative juices. Will definitely be back! Keep on Yelp'n!
