We have been coming here since they opened. Always great. They just added Thali and it is really fresh and out together with care. Thank you Raj and staff for being here in the neighborhood. We appreciate you. read more

Himalayan Diner - Vegetarian Thali - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Ok, let me start by saying that today was the 3rd time we have eaten here. We first had Momo's while staying in Keihe, Maui. Loved them! These are even better! Two sauces to choose from spicy or mild. Love the Indian food also. read more

So, so good. Worth driving here from north Seattle to get high quality, affordable, super tasty Himalayan food in generous amounts. We stopped in on a Saturday for lunch and the lunch specials are a particularly good deal. I was expecting my madras goat curry to be a trimmed down lunch serving, but no. For $12, I got a full bowl of curry, full bowl of rice, and full basket of fluffy, buttery garlic naan. The momos, pakoras, and shrimp jalfrezi were also delicious. The owner even stopped by on our table to check on us and chat. Great restaurant, we will be back. read more

Every day you go without trying this place is a day you are actively missing out!!! The food here is fantastic. It is seriously the best Himalayan food I have had, not just in Lynnwood, but all of the Seattle area! The service was above and beyond. He was so friendly and helped by explaining what certain menu items were and how to eat them. I had never had a thali before. It is a round platter with multiple samplings on it. He offered melted butter for the rice which I haven't been offered anywhere else and what a game changer. I also had the lamb saag. It was so tender and flavorful. It contained significantly more meat than other places I have ordered from. We took our dinner leftovers home and both had another full meal. They have really great lunch specials too! read more

Himalayan Diner - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

UPDATE: Six days after I posted this review, the owner privately apologized by texting my wife and said the restaurant would "adjust its online and takeout ordering windows" when the dining room is full. He did not explain what that means or commit to limiting accepted orders. I appreciate the apology, but the change remains vague and unverified. Unless the restaurant reduces simultaneous demand or honestly warns dine-in customers about delays, the underlying problem remains. The owner also asked me to remove my Google and Yelp reviews. I will not remove the reviews. They truthfully document a fully paid experience that has not been remedied. We received no refund, credit, replacement meal, or other remedy, and the owner described none for the other affected diners. I value neighborhood restaurants and do not want one to fail, but that relationship must be reciprocal. An apology and undefined operational promise do not restore it. I cannot ethically remove a truthful review without reason to believe it no longer reflects the restaurant, and I have no obligation to spend more money testing its assurances. Management must demonstrate substantial change or meaningfully repair the relationship and give us a reason to return. Until then, the review remains truthful and earned. I am very sad to make this report. Previously, I could not recommend Himalayan Diner enough. Yet, after tonight I can no longer recommend Himalayan Diner. I feel that I -- and every diner in the restaurant -- was deeply disrespected by staff! I really loved this place. My wife and I had monthly dinners catered by Raj. We loved going in for flavors that I could not have at home. Tonight that all has changed. I was happy to see that Raj was finally able to decorate his restaurant a little. I understood why the prices went up. I had a lot of time to look at the decorations tonight. I also had a lot of time to see how polite the other patrons were in spite of how angry they were looking. I've never been a part of a polite, angry mob before! The food wasn't coming out. The people were pissed. And then someone let their three year old child run and scream through the restaurant. The food wasn't coming out for those of us in the restaurant but it was certainly flying out the door in brown paper bags! Their carry out business was out the door! And all we could do was sit there and wonder if they were ever going to get to our order. We should have left. Three people at one table were upset. The lady got up to complain a couple of times. Another party of three just sat there waiting underneath a black tv screen. Another three-top was also having a problem. One lady received her meal while the other two sat. The man received his meal after the woman finished her meal and the third person was served after I had received my meal. None of the empty tables were cleaned. I was told that my meal would take longer to prepare than my wife's meal. Yet my meal was served before she received hers. I am not going to eat until my wife's meal is served. So my meal got cold. When our appetizer was finally served we didn't have to wait too much more before her meal was served. The flavors of tonight's meal tasted like the flavors from a can or pouch. I was disappointed that it took two hours for this dreadful experience. If my review seems harsh it is because Himalayan Diner earned it. This was just a casual night out. I could only imagine my stress if I had made after-dinner plans. The problem, as I saw it: Himalayan Diner seems to have value for carry out ONLY. Carry out is the restaurant's priority. And that makes me sad. Restaurants seem to be struggling. The gyro place across the street has closed and a Thai place is opening just steps away. You're next to a yummy pizza place and I just love the Mexican restaurant that's also within walking distance. I feel that every diner who made the mistake of dining here won't be back to see the new decorations. Except for tonight I enjoyed every dollar I spent here. read more

Himalayan Diner - A plate of disappointment. - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Wow im so glad that my boyfriend discovered this spot for us! The best Himalayan food I've had, hands down. Their specialty is the thali which is a sampler platter with naan, roti, assortments of veggies, and a main. The service was helpful and friendly- I think he knew we weren't familiar with the food so offered suggestions and how to eat it. He also asked if we would like butter drizzled on the rice- whatever you do, always accept this. It was amazing! He explained that the butter is heated for around 30 minutes. The lamb saag had so much lamb and was quite flavorful without being gamey or gristly. We kicked it up to max heat for each dish and it was perfect. This will be part of the regular rotation, absolutely delicious experience all around read more

Himalayan Diner - Chicken thali and Lamb Saag - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

I placed an order for delivery through DoorDash. I ordered the butter chicken, garlic naan, and chicken momo. The butter chicken came with fried onions on top of the rice. I love the garlic naan. I'm not sure if the garlic naan already comes with the butter chicken but I ordered garlic naan as well. There was plenty of garlic naan for me, it was delicious , soft , and chewy. I love dipping my naan in the butter chicken sauce. The chicken momos are fantastic. The wrapper is thin and chewy, I'm not sure if they make their own wrappers but it tasted like it! The sauce that came with the momos paired well together. The chicken filling itself was juicy. I cant wait to try more from the restaurant ! read more

In short Modest setting, and the kitchen takes its time. It's so worth it, though. Just don't be in a hurry. In long This is the humblest of strip malls, and they've just taken over a spot from a long-time Chinese restaurant (that had some killer noodles back in the day, btw). They're next door to a lot of peoples' favorite local pizza spot. You come in to a long narrow room with a half-dozen 4-top tables and a round 6-top toward the back. The staff are super friendly and welcoming for sure. There's a TV in back, probably playing a music channel, and as of tonight they have beer and wine. They still have the Grand Opening sign hanging out front. The kitchen centers on Nepali food but gets adjacent with Indian, Thai, and Chinese stuff, too. They do a fantastic job, but, fair warning, they do take their time. Papadoms Served complimentary and right away, like chips and salsa, with mint sauce and tamarind sauce. Definitely house-made sauces. Complex flavors unlike most. They can get kinda samey from place to place, but not here. Garlic Gobi Sauteed chunks of cauliflower in a dark-red sauce with sliced scallions on top. The sauce is shiny enough that you might suspect it'll be sweet, but it's savory (and delicious). There's an awesome crisp edge on the very outside of the cauliflower chunks. Not sure I'd order this on a delivery app, but fresh from the kitchen it's not to be missed. You can smell the garlic from the dining room long before they plate it. Saag paneer and baigan bhartha Definitely distinct dishes, but I'll describe them both the same way--beautifully tight sauces, nothing runny. Ordered medium spicy and there's just a hint of heat. Fantastic flavors. We tend to try both of these dishes everywhere they're served. Gives us a common measuring stick...and these are way up there with the best around. Most entrees come with a big bowl of fluffy white rice topped with fried onions. So good. Lamb vindaloo Tender, big chunks of lamb, along with some rustic chops of potato. Richly flavored, ordered full spicy. Not the craziest heat levels but super delicious. She brought "chili sauce" in case I needed it, and I'm 99.9% sure it was Sriracha, but it complimented everything perfectly. Steamed chicken momos I won't say these tasted wildly different from other delicious scratch-made dumplings we've all had, but, dang, they're really good. I'd order them again any time, and mix up the proteins and peppers and steamed vs fried. I can't say enough good things about the food and service here, and the prices are impressive. 3 drinks, an app, and 4 entrees were $75 before tip. We have at least 2-3 servings of leftovers, too. Instant favorite and right in the rotation now. read more

My wife and I have gotten take out twice from this place now and it is some amazing food. We've tried momos, a noodle dish and jalfrezi with each one as tasty as the other. Really friendly staff working there as well. Absolutely give this place a try. read more

Himalayan Diner just opened their doors a few weeks ago, and I stopped by today to try their chicken momos -- and wow, they did not disappoint. From the foothills of Nepal to the plateaus of Tibet, momo is the equivalent of the hamburger, and this place delivers it in its most authentic form. The dumplings are perfectly tender and juicy, with the right balance of meat and vegetables. The cabbage and cilantro in the minced chicken add that signature crunch that takes each bite to another level. But the real magic? The sauce. It's vibrant, creamy, and rich with peppers, turmeric, and a hint of ginger -- the kind of sauce you'd be lucky to find even in Kathmandu. For a restaurant that's barely three weeks old, Himalayan Diner already feels like a hidden gem in Lynnwood. If you're anywhere nearby, go try the chicken momos -- and if they offer more than one sauce, get both. Trust me, it'll be the best decision you make all week. read more

This place is really great! I have been desperately searching for a good Nepalese restaurant since my favorite place closed, and Himalayan Diner is fantastic! The veggie momos are a standout, but all of the dishes that I have tried have been really delicious. I also love that the food tastes fresh and healthy. So glad I found this restaurant! read more

We ordered takeout: chili paneer and Hakka noodles. The service was quick, and there was adequate seating inside. That said, the Indo-Chinese flavors didn't quite match what you'd expect in India--the dishes leaned heavily on cilantro and masala, which felt out of place for classic Indo-Chinese cuisine. read more

We've been wanting to try Himalayan Diner since it opened and finally found a time to go. The inside decor is very simple, but the food more than makes up for it. Everything was delicious, the serving sizes were perfect and the prices were more than fair. The servers were nice and attentive. We'll definitely be back! read more

Glad to see a new Himalayan restaurant open on the Eastside! We stopped in on a weeknight and ordered the veggie momos, chicken momos, and chicken fried rice. The chicken momos were easily the highlight. The fried rice could have used a bit more spice, and the chicken was slightly rubbery, but overall it's definitely worth checking out; especially for the momos. read more

If you are craving delhi style momo for rainy days and a very good street style chow mein this is the place. You get the indo chinese taste, spice levels are good. Mango lassi was good not the bottled version. Wish they add more indo chinese items over the regular indian vindaloo curries (as that's not their specialty). They have momo soups that is a new add to the menu, we did not try that but the owner said that its good. read more

Delicious food, reasonable prices and excellent service from a friendly staff. We had the dumplings, biryani and chicken karma.

This is some of the absolute best food I've eaten in recent memory. I've been looking for a good place for north Indian food and this is for sure the spot! My partner and I ordered a variety of dishes to try and everything we got was absolutely fantastic. We got take out and everything was packed well and with care (they labeled every container). The decor of the restaurant looks fresh and inviting, so I'd love to come back and eat in next time. Thank you so much!!! read more

Stopped in for lunch today, we were nervous to try a place so new before it's developed a reputation but it's AMAZING. The best samosas I've ever had. I ordered the chicken dum briyani and that was also really good. All in all, everyone at my table was very happy and satisfied with their food. The service was very kind and the woman working up front was so lovely and answered our questions about the menu and gave recommendations. I hope to see this place thrive!! read more

Perfect jhol momo, authentic taste. Wish they sold more Nepali dishes instead of the usual Indian stuff

Ordered on a whim because they are only 5 minutes from our home. The momos were so flavorful and tender. The sauce for the momos is practically drinkable. And they were very generous to give u extra. Generous portions and a hidden gem that I hope gets much love! read more

We called in a take out order. The lady on the phone was very nice. The food was amazing. We ordered Chicken Tika Marsala. The only thing was the cubed breast meat was very tough and dry. I would recommend that you offer an option of chicken thighs meat. We also ordered the goat Korma. The sauces of both dishes made it all worth it. Both dishes were delicious and the garlic naan was a nice super. I would highly recommend you give this restaurant a try. Prices were also very reasonable. read more
