    Gobi Manchurian
    Surelyne L.

    Been wanting to try them for a while but with covid, they've been take out only & the hours have been erratic. This is a huge roomy space that used to be a Chinese buffet. Interior had plenty of spacious seating. We were the only customers there when we walked in but I was determined to try it after seeing the high ratings. We were served small bottles of water as soon as we sat down. Ordered 3 dishes...gobi manchurian, saag paneer & chicken momos and a mango lassi. The gobi manchurian was flavorful with a nice heat but a bit too salty. The saag paneer was a very good rendition of the dish with big cubes of paneer in the creamy puréed spinach. The chicken momos were very good as well with gingery ground chicken encased in a well made dumpling skin. This was served with a curry based sauce. Overall, we enjoyed the food and look forward to trying some of their other dishes.

    Himalayan Chicken Soup

    Really great ambience inside the restaurant with traditional music playing. The food is very different which I'm sure goes without saying. Very spicy in herbs and also can be spicy with peppers. Had the Himalayan tea and it was delicious you should try it. I also had the Himalayan chicken soup it was a little on the hot spicy side but oh what a great flavor extremely herbal. For an appetizer I had chicken pakora mainly for my ex-wife because she's always trying to find a way to cook gluten free. Frying chicken with chickpea flour is very good. I also had the Nepali Khasi, a goat dish slow cooked in a brown gravy, with Himalayan herbs and spices served over balmati rice. The food was absolutely delicious. It was a little over the top for a regular dining experience but once or twice a month I good definitely eat here.

    Absolutely delightful. I've gone a dozen times before, they are under new owners now, and we wanted to try the buffet. Food was flavorful, so many options for vegetarians too! Freshly cooked deliciousness! The only complaints: AC seemed to not be kicking out cold air, so it was uncomfortably humid inside. And the tea did not have sugar but sugar was provided to mix our own. Overall, good experience. I will be returning for the buffet. There was more on the buffet, but yelp doesn't allow videos to post.

    I just had lunch buffet here, amazing wide varieties of delicacy were served. fantastic flavors and exclusive Nepalese Momo and chili dishes are most attractions. I am returning once more soon. Front ambient is so attractive with Himalayan arts and culture. All should try once, how authentic nepalese delicacy looks like.

    Butter Naan and Garlic Naan
    Kayle G.

    We ordered take out and it was so good! We eat a lot of Indian/Nepalese food and have tried a ton of places in the area. There are so many places around here though so we decided to try a new one on a whim. We ordered the veggie momos, chili chicken (appetizer), lamb vindaloo, and butter chicken, and an order each of garlic and plain naan. The curries were both perfect--some of the best we've had around here! The chili chicken is awesome and more of an indo-Chinese dish. It is technically an appetizer but it was a pretty large portion so it's enough for sharing or even an entree if you order some rice or naan with it. The momos were great, as was the sauce they came with. I prefer the other things to momos in general, but they are better than the other momos we have tried elsewhere, and it was a really generous portion so definitely shareable! Also, I know this might not matter to most people, but we were super glad they plastic wrapped the curry containers! It stains like crazy if it spills and most places don't take the time to do that so it was a nice touch! :)

    Host greeted us behind the bar. We sat down and she came over to us after we were seated. We ordered our entrees and food came out in less than 15 minutes. The food was flavorful and the chicken was on the dry side. However, it was better than what we had back home at Lemon Cuisine.

    One of our children is wanting to expand his food repertoire. I guess you could call it. We were in the mood for Indian and thought a buffet would be a great way for him to try multiple dishes without wasting too much food. We went here on a Saturday around noon since this place only offers the buffet at lunch time. We walked in and there was barely anyone there (maybe 5 people) eating. My husband immediately noticed the sanitation score on the wall and looked a little weary (it was a 90). We were greeted immediately and told to have a seat anywhere in the back room where the buffet was. The gentlemen did not ask about getting us anything to drink, so we had to ask. He directed our attention to a side table with pitchers of water and a tea urn and said it was self serve, they did have sodas but they were in a can and no free refills. The buffet was on the small side but did offer several choices. Choices included jasmine rice, vegetable pulao, chicken 65, samosa and naan, saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, and a goat curry. I was a little disappointed they didn't have butter chicken since it's a fan favorite in our house. The food for the most part was very good. The goat curry was a very big surprise! It was amazing; it was so tender it fell apart and it honestly tasted like was like I was eating the beef in a good beef stew.....this unfortunately is where my delightful lunch took a turn for the worse. Our youngest asked for some crayons since they put a paper table cloth on the tables. The gentleman obliged and quickly got him a container of crayons which he placed on the table. We were all enjoying drawing different pictures on the table, while still continuing to eat our food, until we dumped the container out on the table to try and find a different color. That is when a live cockroach fell onto our table and started to scurry away. Luckily, it took refuge under my husband's napkin which was nearby and he was able to squish it promptly. That of course, put it an end to any of us wanting to continue to eat any additional food. We did call one of the guys over that was running around and showed him, and he quickly picked up the napkin and took it over to the trash and threw it away. When we went to pay our bill at the register, the same guy rang us out and said he was giving us the two sodas that we had for free because of the experience that happened. Now mind you we had eaten all of our food, and we're towards the end of our meal, and we did not ask for free food, but I do feel we should've been comped a little bit more than two $3 sodas; especially since we did not make a huge scene to alert all the other guest who had come in after us, and were continuing to eat. The only reason I gave this place a 3 star instead of a 2 is because the food was decent. We will not eat here again though.

    Friday-Sunday Buffett

    I went the first time on a Friday for the buffet which was really good. I went back on a Thursday and they didn't have a buffet. They have it listed on their website and the sign outside that they have a buffet but it's only during the weekend they said. I would only go for the Buffett and wish they had it everyday because I would go more often

    If you love Indian food, you will live Himalayan! The Research Triangle is great because of it's diversity and wonderful International cuisine. Gather your friends, because you will want to order everything on the menu. Family style so you can experience everything!

    The food is great. The Nepalese dishes were outstanding! Wasn't expecting it to be as spicy as it was, but wouldn't change a thing!

    First time ever trying hotpot, it was amazing experience. It's a bit pricey but consider it like a…read morebuffet as they bring out unlimited vegetables and stuff for you to make in your hot pot right on your table. It can get busy and reduce conversations but it is great change and food is always hot since it's right out of fire. Restaurant is good and well managed and our server came by several times to make sure our needs were getting met as your order things for your table on the iPad. Drinks are additional cost. There is a nice sauce bar though you have to make your own sauce. Might be easier if they just made the top four displayed on the board. There is ice cream to buy for a $1 if your tongue is feeling the burn after all that hot food. So we loved it overall but here's the room for improvement - bathroom had soap but it was watered down and floor on the restaurant felt wet or bit slippery. Perhaps all the people taking soup around so had to be a bit careful. The app and menu is a bit complicated I wish it was updated to make it simpler. The app doesn't show which items have been ordered and delivered vs new ones you're adding so it can get confusing. There is reward system but that sign up is on a different app and payment is on another device. So if they took care of those I would give them 5 stars.
