We ate and enjoyed: Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, Indian Delights (think veg Samosa), Palak Paneer, Sherpa Dumpling Chicken (Momo) and Tandoori Chicken. We asked for the dishes to be a mild level of heat, and they were, and the flavors shined through. We've dined in person and service is always lovely. But sometimes at the end of the week, you just want to veg and be comfy, you know? All I can say--fantastic way to start the weekend!

This has always been one of my favorite restaurants for Indian food, and I've told so many people…read moreabout it. I went back today and was honestly so upset because my go-to dish, the paneer makhini, was nothing like it used to be. It literally just tasted like straight cream. I even asked them to remake it because I thought something was wrong, but it came out the same way. I ended up just eating the other food we ordered, but it was such a disappointment because this has always been the dish I look forward to. I even showed them old photos from past visits compared to today and it was clearly different. The chef tried it and said it was the same, which shocked me because it really wasn't. I get that places can have off days, but this was really discouraging. As much as I've loved this restaurant, I don't know if I'll be back if the quality has dropped this much.

We thoroughly enjoyed our pickup order from Himalayan Restaurant for dinner recently. We did a…read morefamily meal combo to sample something of everything. Our order included: cocktail samosas, palak paneer, baigan bharta, and the chicken tikka masala. The meal comes with three naan and rice on the side, as well as a dessert. We went with the gulab jamun. I also wanted an order of soup momos, so we added that onto our already robust order as well. (They didn't disappoint, so delicious.) Everything was well-balanced and spiced. I especially love that we were able to split the portions across multiple meals given how generous the naan was. The most beloved item was definitely the momos in the spicy/sour soup, followed by the buttery naan dipped in chicken tikka masala. I also really enjoyed the baigan bharta. So very enjoyed this meal, and I can't wait to try some of the other menu items that other diners have recommended.

This place has gone way downhill. In its best days a few years ago it was maybe a 4. Notice how…read moremany of the 4 star reviews are from people who have never been to an Indian restaurant? We were there on a Friday night and there were no more than 10 people there. With an empty restaurant the service was still slow! And the food was boring and not tasty. We suspect that some of it was leftover and reheated from the lunch buffet. Is that legal? No flavor and just plain not good. Don't bother with this place. Prices also a little high. We spent our time looking longingly out the window at Cluckers restaurant across the street.

Disclaimer, I'm an East Asian and I didn't grow up eating Indian or Nepali food so take my comments with a grain of salt. Lamb curry My friend and I enjoyed it. I bit into some star anise in the dish, and I wished they gave the star anise more time to incorporate into the curry (sauteing longer and toasting it before), as the star anise flavor wasn't really there. I had to bite into the star anise with the sauce to learn about the flavor profile. Eggplant curry I wasn't a big fan of the dish, as it felt a little astringent and bitter at times. I wasn't sure what it was going for, and I wished it utilized more of that umami flavor from the eggplant to elevate the curry. The curry felt a little overpowering. Fish curry As a seafood lover, this was one of the most special curries I have had. The fish was delicate and soft, which was paired well with the sauce. I would get this again. Chicken Biryani We increased the spice for this dish. The portions were huge and we liked it as a base to the other curries and something to eat with the naan. It was not bad. Mutton Momo (Soup) As a mutton/lamb lover, the momos were flavorful and hearty. They were paired with a spicy tomato soup, which felt different but familiar. We loved it. Mutton Momo (Chillied) The momo was sauted and fried at the bottom. It was paired with some bell peppers. This is the kind of dish where you wouldn't be able to stop eating. Loved it. Garlic Naan Hot, thin, crispy. Even though we wished the garlic was more pungent, the texture was great. Gulab Jamun (Fried Ball Dessert) It was our favorite. The syrup was gingery and had a subtle hint of saffron, and it blended well with the fried balls. This hit home. Overall, the food was decent. We will definitely be back for the momo and to try the different curries and biryani.

My favorite of the three was definitely the tikka masala: flavorful, comforting, and something I'd absolutely order again! Overall, it's a cute neighborhood spot with a unique concept and solid food. I'd definitely revisit if I'm back in the area.
