I have been a regular Himalayan Heritage customer for about two years now. I've never darkened the door--all of my experience with the restaurant is through their delivery service. So, my review isn't necessarily indicative of the restaurant's table service. So, let's talk about how Himalayan Heritage does on its delivery service. First of all, when Himalayan Heritage is on, it is on. They have the capacity to make fantastic food. In fact, when they make it right, their chicken tikka masala is something delightful. But, that's the problem. Himalayan Heritage's reliability has really fallen off in the last four months. First of all, they are routinely forgetting items in delivery orders. I've had to call five times in the last 3 months to get something taken off of my bill or to have my delivery fixed. Worse, though, Himalayan Heritage's ability to get the order right is also falling off. When you offer mild, medium, and spicy options to me--I expect to get the option that I've chosen. I'm generally just annoyed when a spicy dish comes being mild, but someone without a taste for spice could end up with food she can't eat. Bottom line: I'd like to check this place out in person. But, I'm moving to another joint for delivery. read more

I really enjoyed my dinner here. The restaurant offers both Nepalese and Indian dishes, but they are Nepalese, so the flavors are slightly different than other regions of South Asia. From my observation, I'd say the curry had a less complex blend of spices, but was at the same level of heat as what I've had at Indian restaurants. We were in a group of six, and two of my friends that were there are Nepalese, so they had a little more insight in what to order. As we sat down, the server brought out some curry soybeans and puffed rice to snack on. Based on our friends' recommendation, we got a couple orders of chatamari as an appetizer, which is a thin rice flour flatbread with curry chicken topping that was really good. For entrees, we ordered an assortment of meat dishes with chicken, lamb, and goat to share. The curry goat was excellent - well seasoned, but not over-spiced, and the flavor of the meat still came through, but it wasn't tough or gamey. Another favorite of mine was the momo (dumpling/potsticker), which we ordered stuffed with both chicken and vegetable. The chicken ones came with dipping sauces, and the vegetable ones were coated in a red chili sauce similar to Sriracha, but a little more tart. Overall, the staff were all really warm and friendly (and I don't think that was just due to the fact that two of our friends spoke their language). read more

Himalayan Heritage Restaurant - Curry goat - Indian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Wow. Yum! I came here yesterday with my girl and two friends in town from NYC (both vegetarian, or rather pescatarian) and we were impressed across the board. The Gobi Manchurian (deep-fried cauliflower) is addictive. It tastes a bit like General Tso's Chicken or something, but a bit lighter and healthier. The little dipping sauces that came with the samosas were amazing (hat tip to the mint chutney). The food seems to be about 99% the same as Indian food. Our waiter was a low-talker and apparently a bit of a low-listener. He screwed up one piece of our order, but made it right. The place has a great ambiance; we went on a Friday at about 10:00pm and it was fairly quiet, dim but not dark, with lovely Indian music playing. And our vegetarian friends' heads were spinning at the vegetarian options. We'll be back for sure. Yum. read more

We're often torn about what to do for food after a workout. It's usually late, and we're usually tired, so we don't usually want to cook. But eating out two or three times a week would be a bit of a strain on our pocketbook. So, we're always looking for deals in Adams Morgan, especially for places that seem like they're not going to mind too much if we're a bit grubby. Himalayan Heritage fit this bill, so I got the deal, and we headed over. I wanted to try and order something that was more on the Nepali end of the spectrum, less on the Indian end, so I got the "Himalayan Karahi," a "Mixture of Barbeque chicken, and lamb cooked with tomatoes, capsicum and coriander leaves in medium spices with red wine tossed in an iron souk." My wife got the Muglin Thali, a combination of several different dishes featuring prominently a goat curry. The dominant theme of the meal was tough. My chicken was tough. Her goat was tough. It was tough to get service. We weren't very happy with the meal, but I was going to chalk part of it up to being crabby until I realized we were there for two hours. That's much too slow for service. Perhaps we caught them on a bad night, but I don't think we're going back. read more

I live around the corner, and dine in and order takeout from this place often. I am never disappointed, the food is always delicious, and the service is always good, even when the place is packed (which it often is, especially on weekend evenings). Tonight we had the Aloo Chaat Papri salad (a tasty mix of chick peas, potatoes, tomato, onion, lemon, and chili, served in a pappadam shell), Kadai Chicken (chicken with tomatoes, onion, garlic, coriander leaves and ginger), Chicken Vindaloo (a wonderfully spicy Indian classic, but not for the faint of heart!), and Garlic Naan, which was fresh and buttery. On previous visits, we had spicy steamed chicken Momos (delicious traditional Nepalese dumplings), Okra Masala (a very tasty way to serve okra!), Palak Paneer (spinach and homemade cheese), and Chicken Tikka Masala (an Indian classic, Tandoor chicken with a buttery, creamy tomato sauce). I'll be back. I really should have these guys on speed dial. read more

Went here late on a Friday night a few weeks ago. I've heard fellow Yelper Áine say good things about this place and I'd sampled a few bites at the Stroga elite event. What pushed me to finally check this place out, though, was a buy-one-entree-get-one-free deal to use during Adam's Morgan Week. Score! The place was fairly busy for a late Friday night, but there wasn't a wait. I instantly loved the decor - the statues in the wall nooks, the faux bamboo roof hut, the warm colors. I felt transported. Now, I've never been to India or Nepal, but I kind of image it's like Himalayan Heritage. After giving our food and drink orders, the waiter brought out the little complimentary munchies. Something like puffed rice (meh) and spiced edamame. Wow. I gobbled the edamame. I wanted to ask for more. Would that have been rude? Really, I don't think I would have cared. But, I had lots more food on the way, so I refrained. We ordered the Chef's Special Jir Lamb Ko as an appetizer. Calling it an appetizer isn't quite right. That plate could have fed an army of starving people. That might be overstating things a bit, but it was a HUGE plate of food. So many delicious lamb chunks. And huge chunks of veggies. Mmmmmm. One of the apps I had tried at the elite event was the Gobi Manchurian - fried, spicy cauliflower. The sauce was amazing, but, honestly, it didn't need to be fried. The breading just got kind of soggy and fell off. I would have rather just had cooked cauliflower bathed in that sauce. For dinner I ordered Palak Paneer - one of my favorite Indian dishes. Seriously, this is like one my desert-island foods. Pretty much every time I go to an Indian place, I try it. I was a little worried about the chopped ginger garnish, but I ordered the dish anyway. Turns out, I didn't even notice the ginger - and the dish was delicious! SO yummy. My husband ordered one of the spicy chicken dishes. He loves spicy food, but since he's white, most ethnic people don't think he can handle the spice. His dish came out, he tried it, and had to ask the waiter for more spice. Ha! White people can take the heat! The rice and naan were also delicious. These are big portions, so I'd say it's best to go with a group and share a few dishes or share a dish between two. Or just enjoy the leftovers, because they were also delicious. Our server was friendly and mostly attentive. There was a bit of time between appetizer and dinner that he seemed to disappear - and our food seemed to be taking awhile to come out. He reappeared and apologized, and our food was on the table shortly after. I will definitely return for more Palak Paneer. Or maybe something else. But likely, the Palak Paneer. read more

So, per my last review, I'm OK with something occasionally being an anomaly. Bottom line? Don't get take out from this place. Food is lovely, take out? Horrible. To cut a long story short I called after two hours and thirty minutes to cancel my order. Not even a hint of apology. Longer version? 12:30pm Placed and order online 12:45 HH called for a credit card number. Good! "You will have your food in 45 minutes". Great! Nosh at 1:30. I can live with that. 1:45 Clock still ticking. 2:00 Clock still ticking. 2:15 I called. "Hi! Where's my order?" "He's just left. It's on the way." "Great, thanks." 2:30 Still no food. 2:45 I called. "I would like to cancel my order." "[Your address]?" "Yes, that's it." "Ah, yes. Ok. (click)" Ok? OK?! wtf? Eat in, don't do take out. You will have to order pizza from Pete's instead. I'm seriously doubting if I should do take out from here. If you're this sloppy about take out customers what about the care of everything else? read more

Yummy and spicy. I'm a big Indian fan, and I liked the Nepal influence that seemed to lighten and spice up things. I started with some free spiced soy beans, which were a good start (when combined with my Taj Mahal beer :). The Chicken Chilli appetizer (tikka chicken they then pan fried) was good, but maybe a tad heavy. Since I had chicken for an appetizer I felt ok with a veggie entree - Channa ( Choley) Masala which was great. A nice fix of chick peas, tomatoes, onions, and spices. Yum. BTW, It's a little hard to see - look for Kokopooli's read more

Let it be known!! I have found my Indian delivery in my new home! Huzzah! I hopped on delivery.com looking for some yummy indian food and setteld on himalayan heritage simply because they offered 15% on my order. Hey, no judgement, i'm a student now and i'll take what i can get! I ordered the chicken tikka masala, naan and vegetable samosa....the total charge was somewhere around 15$ i want to say? The delicious food was delivered 35 minutes later and was hot and delivered by a friendly guy. The chicken tikka masala was absolutely stunning. Perfectly balanced sauce of acidic tomato, spices and smooth cream. There was a ton of sauce and a ton of large chicken pieces. The samosas were enormous and the buttery pastry was filled with a generous portion of potato, onion and peas. There was more than enough for a delicious lunch the next day. yum yum yum! read more

I had so missed Everest, the Nepali restaurant on the same block as Lauriol Plaza that closed a couple of years ago. So I was delighted to see this new place in the heart of Adams Morgan's restaurant corridor. My BF and I got Palak Paneer and the house Momos, or dumplings. The sauces, rice and spices were all excellent, as were the dishes themselves. The staff was charming and enjoyed educating us about travelling in Nepal and India. If you like Indian food, you'll like Nepali as well, which is basically Indian food plus a bit more vegetarian fare (and those decadent, delicious Momos, which they carry in something like 5 varieties!). All the frying at Himalayan Heritage is apparently done in olive oil, and with all the vegetable dishes on the menu, this place is a great choice for vegetarians. read more

Love the food here! Goat thali was good, and so was their appetizers. We got chicken momo, bhatmas saadheko, chicken chhoyla, pork sekuwa and samaya baji for appetizers. Everything was good. I also liked the decor and music there. Loved the glass they serve the Nepali rice wine in. My only little suggestion is that thali-set could be served more aesthetically. read more

Himalayan Heritage Restaurant - Jhol (soup) chicken momo. Definitely worth trying! Yet to be added to their menu - Indian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Mediocre food, good service, pleasant ambiance. Ordered the butter chicken, lamb biryani, roti and vegetable pakora. The chicken and lamb were tough. The biryani was greasy and not terribly flavorful. The roti did not taste fresh out of the oven. Only the pakora was very good. I was really hoping for more. read more

Chicken tikka masala- an Indian staple in my opinion- was an absolutely huge disappointment. The normally thick, rich sauce filled with spices and a bit of heat was instead extremely bland and watery. Even the chicken was a disappointment - some pieces tasted like rubber while the others were dry. I've enjoyed this dish at dozens of different residents in different cities and this is honestly one of the most disappointing ones I've had. Not to mention it's overpriced for the portions you receive (as other reviews have mentioned as well). Only enjoyable part of the meal was the naan. Both the plain naan and herb naan were pretty good. Will absolutely not order again. read more

Cream Sauce has a new favorite restaurant in da hood - Himalayan Heritage! Deliciously prepared and reasonably priced Nepali and Indian cuisine in comfortable digs with friendly service. Are we really still in DC?? Bonus feature - they deliver!! read more

3.5 stars. Ordered delivery here and it arrived in about 50 minutes - which was within our quoted delivery time, but felt like forever. (I am always impatient when it comes to food) I was a little skeptical at first because we ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken... and the chicken itself comes in these tiny little soup containers. The portion size honestly looks TINY for how much you pay. However, when eaten with the basmati rice and side of garlic naan (ordered separately), it actually is a very filling meal. I thought the tikka masala sauce was delicious and not too rich, though not nearly as spicy as I had hoped for. We indicated medium spice, but it barely even tasted like mild. The chicken chunks were also slightly overcooked, but nothing too horrible. One of my co-workers got the tandoori chicken and the portion size for that looked pretty substantial - she enjoyed it. I would advise ordering online through the Eat24 website, which we did - it was painless and I was able to live chat a customer support rep to check on the status of my order. Would eat here again, especially given the variety of the menu. read more

I am a Nepali guy from Kathmandu, Nepal. This place is literally the best authentic Nepali restaurant I have tried in the US after living in 4 different states, having traveled to more than 10 states, over 7 years of living in the US. I can't believe I was able to find Chhyang and Sukuti here! I love this place..definitely coming back and highly recommend to friends and family! read more

We've dined in and gotten delivery from Himalayan Heritage. I thought the dining experience in was romantic and the service was attentive. For food, we got Chef's specials, so I guess it was hard to go wrong there. The food is pretty delicious, and there is a large menu. I'd recommend the goat curry for those that eat meat. For the delivery service, I kind of object that the menu does not have a description of the items following the names. I wouldn't consider Nepalese food something that's so commonly eaten that everyone knows what the dishes are. However, the nice lady who answered the phone walked me through a couple options based on what I wanted. The delivery time was pretty standard. They forgot the naan we ordered, but we weren't charged for it. And again, the food is pretty delicious. read more

I went for the first time on Saturday night and ended up going back on Sunday as well - it's just that good. This really is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. They also deliver and do carry-out. I had never had Himalayan food, so on Saturday i ordered the Himalayan special set meal - Muglin Thali (non-veg) - for $18.95 you get a glass of wine, appetizer, sampler platter of dishes, and rice pudding and tea for dessert. a great deal, and a great way to try everything out. My husband ordered the Tandoori Shrimp, which arrived on a sizzling platter. Both were delicious! The basmati rice is nutty/buttery, which I loved. I went back again on Sunday and this time ordered the Lamb Chop Kabob (one of the Tandoori Sizzlers) and my friend got the Tandoori Chicken. Another winning experience on both accounts! Service is excellent and portions leave enough for doggie-bagging. There is also a cute special seating area with pillows and a large table. If you have a group, I'd recommend making a reservation for this table for an extra special experience. read more

I am definitely a fan. I've only been once and I went with a friend and we ate at the restaurant and we LOVED it! First of all, how can you not love a place that serves you spicy-ass edamame as a free app just for eating at their establishment. I could have had three plates of just that! Our server was very attentive and pretty knowledgeable about the menu, since we weren't familiar with several items listed. My friend ordered one of their specialty appetizers - the Gobi Manchurian. It's deep-fried cauliflower with an amazing array of spices and a little sweetness all rolled into one. AMAZING! I got the lamb kabobs (which are actually described as lamb chops in the menu, so when they came out as lamb chops I was not surprised) and they were cooked just right and the seasoning on the meat was incredible. The naan was hot and delicious when brought to the table and their jasmine rice was perfect! Overall, we had a terrific experience. If you happen to be in Adams Morgan, I would definitely give this place a try! read more

So my two friends came into DC from Baltimore and Houston. After touring the National Mall and the museums, we started looking for places to eat. Unfortunately, one of my friends was vegetarian and absolutely wanted Indian food. my other friend and I are both non-vegetarians so we both were looking for something new. After looking for indian restaurants in Washington DC, Himalayan Heritage caught my eye. It wasn't for the indian food, it was for the Nepalese food. Once we got there, we were promptly seated. The decor was very beautiful. Unfortunately, when the menu came, I saw more Indian dishes and not enough Nepalese dishes. My friends had Butter Chicken, and a vegetarian dish I can't exactly remember. I had the Nepalese dumplings. The food, in my humble opinion, was delicious. I was able to try everything my friends and I ordered. I felt the indian food was very much like any other indian restaurant. The Nepalese dumplings was the real treat. I have recommended this restaurants to many of my friends so far and will continue to do so. I can't wait to go back and try some more. read more

Although I had a good time at the restaurant because I was with friends, the service did everything they could to ruin the evening. First for the good stuff (and whey I gave the second star): The ambiance was good, the staff was nice and the food was edible. Now the bad stuff: The service was very slow, they spilled drinks on a guest, they gave another the wrong meal, never refilled the rice (which ran out quickly) and served the dessert without plates (leading to confusion as to whether we were supposed to eat from the same chalice). All in all, it wasn't the worst place ever, but I wouldn't go again if I had a part in the decision-making process. read more

Ah, dis was wery wery good! Always fresh to start a review with some innocuous racial jokes, no? Fortunately for Himalayan Heritage, the food here is no joke. While I haven't been in the restaurant proper, I have eaten their carry-out (the smart eater always convinces someone ELSE to go pick up the food; saves your energy for the consumption of the meal). My verdict? This is actually pretty great Indian food, especially for being on 18th Street where restaurants usually just make their profits off of the fact that people who are stupefyingly drunk tend to not have functioning tastebuds. We got the butter chicken, lamb curry, I believe the mas ko daal (a lentil dish) and the palak paneer. I was in a butter chicken mood so honestly that's the only entree I ate, but the folks I was eating with enjoyed the other dishes very much. They came with rice, which was decent, and we also got two orders of naan which was SO good. The butter chicken is actually some of the best butter chicken I've had in DC. At many places it seems they just give you any piece of meat that comes from the bird we call a chicken. I find myself biting down on a piece of bone, or some inedible chunk of not-meat. But no, these pieces were all pure and free of that stuff. A few of them were a little more cooked than I would have liked, but for the most part they were tender and the sauce was rather flavorful (although not the most flavorful I've tasted). A great combo is to mix the chicken with some rice, pour more sauce on it and then sort of pinch it up with some naan. I would definitely order from here again, and I'd like to have a sit-down meal here as well some time. Thank you, I will come again! read more

Cute spot in Adams Morgan. The veggie biryani and lentils were amazing! The naan could have been better but that was our only sub-par selection. Service was good and attentive. Will definitely be back here! read more

Himalayan Heritage Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

So delicious. This place is a hidden gem at the foot of the main 18th street strip in Adams Morgan. It's hidden upstairs from Muzette, but don't overlook it because it is wonderful! The staff are attentive and helpful, the food is delicious and there are some unique dishes you can't find at other Indian restaurants. There are also Nepalese dishes that I haven't tried yet because I have to work my way through my favorite Indian dishes first. Oh, and the first time I came here was with my parents; my mom casually mentioned to the hostess, who found us a table without a reservation on a Friday night, that it was their wedding anniversary. At the end of the meal they brought complimentary desserts to the whole table and wished my parents a happy anniversary! read more

First time I went here it was amazing - food was cooked with care, naan was soft and chewy and the service was attentive. Take-out orders since then have been average - food is bland, naan is hard and flavorless. Delivery takes a long time (2 hours last time I ordered). Bottom line: average Indian food read more

Himalayan Heritage Restaurant was my first experience with Himalayan food, and wow! I am a fan! After passing this place hundreds of times and always noting "Oh we've gotta go there one day," circumstances (i.e. Sakeramen being closed on Mondays) finally brought us to Himalayan Heritage Restaurant. On first impression I was really digging the decor. It was cute and little kitchy/quirky with a temple facade against the side wall, but cloth napkins and real candles kept it from going Himalayan Tiki Bar, if you know what I mean. And it was super clean, which is somewhat unexpected for AdMo. After being swiftly seated, we perused the menu and I was thrilled with the selection of vegetarian options. Of course there were fish and meat dishes aplenty, offering everything from chicken and pork to lamb and goat. It was really hard to select my dish -- I wanted to try it all! It's like they took the best of Chinese and Indian selections and compiled them into one amazing menu. There was hot and sour soup and biryanis. Dumplings and kabobs. Noodles and naan. Not to mention new flavors I had yet to try, like "mountain spice blend" and Nepali spice. To start, we went with the bhatmas sadeko appetizer, which was a salad of crunchy soyabeans, mixed chili peppers, green onion and allll the spices. It was super flavorful and a bright mixture of ingredients, not to mention pleasingly crunchy. It was a 6-7 on the spice index (self rated) and was harder for me to eat than for my bf who goes for as spicy as he can get. I had to take small bites and follow each one with a sip of water. Definitely a dish for someone who enjoys some heat! For my main entree, I got the Jhol Momo with veggie dumplings. I wanted to get something less Indian and more Nepali, and this dish was under their "Wonders of Nepal" section. It came recommended by our waitress who heard me coughing and saw me shivering from just having walked in the rain and advised that soup would do the trick for me. I was leaning for the dumplings after seeing them on the neighboring table, and this dumpling soup seemed like the perfect dish. And yes it was. There were so. many. dumplings. I didn't count, but there had to be at least 10 dumplings, sitting in a thick and spicy soup that was unlike anything I've had before. It wasn't the typical warm Indian flavors nor the spices you get from say, Thai food, it was a new flavor profile for me that was a bit citrusy, a little nutty, earthy and bursting with spice and heat. It was definitely pushing my heat limit and I had to eat the dish slowly, but it was great and something I would without a doubt order again. We also ordered a side of garlic naan and it was fresh, homemade and deeeelicious. My bf got chicken biryani and he finished his dish. He ordered it as spicy as it comes, and gave it a thumbs up. He's pretty hard to win over when it comes to spicy food, so getting his nod of approval is no easy feat. The food for me got an easy 5 stars. The service left a little to be desired. At first, our waters were constantly filled up, we were seated immediately and addressed quickly, but after we started eating, we sat with empty water glasses for at least 20 minutes. Not typically a huge deal, but the food was spicy and I was really in need of some liquid refreshment. Wait staff was hurriedly moving about too, so there wasn't opportunity to ask for a refill even. And my meal came out about 15 minutes before my bf's. It was *souper* hot, so it needed time to cool, but I was hungry and having to weigh the personal conflict of eating before your companion's food comes out vs. sitting and staring at your food while your tummy growls was not a choice I wanted to make. We will for sure be back. My recommendation is not to come here if you are looking for a quick in-and-out meal. Take-out would be a good option too and the food is also great as leftovers the next day. read more

Sigh .... it is with great regret that I post this update. Himalayan Heritage used to be my GO-TO for takeout Indian. The quality dropped off dramatically, but I always said I'd give them another chance. Tonight I did. The good news is that the order arrived quickly, and the driver was friendly and polite. The bad news: no matter HOW quickly it arrived, it wasn't worth the wait. The food was weirdly textured, bland, and almost completely tasteless. I kept biting into large, crunchy pieces of potato or raw chips of red onion in foods where neither was particularly necessary (cooked or otherwise.) The paratha naan was hard to the point of staleness, almost as though they'd just thrown some more butter on yesterday's batch and called it good. I ended up eating maybe a quarter of what I'd been brought, then pitching it and having a bowl of microwaved oatmeal instead. Goodbye, Himalayan Heritage. It was fun while it lasted. read more

This place is a true gem! Cute decor, kind service, and amazing food! There were 4 of us who decided to eat here tonight, being visitors from Tucson. We were all delighted with the experience and have nothing negative to say! Thanks for a very memorable meal and memory. read more

Checked this place out because I was in town and was looking at yelp reviews. Himalayan is one of the high rated restaurants. Went in and ordered : chef recommended goat curry - half of the meat serving was still tough garlic naan - incredibly tasty! hot and sour soup with chicken - very hot and spicy, chicken was extremely dry coffee - cup looked like a little girl's toy tea cup, no free refills Food took an hour and 12 minutes (we timed it). The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. We didn't have reservations and just walked in, and the lady at the counter was very nice about it and seated us. Couldn't really see most of the decor because it was a little too dark. Food was decent. I've had better. I'm upset that I'm disappointed. I really wanted to have a great experience especially since I was here on a paid business trip. Maybe I'll try the momos next time. read more

Food allergies beware!!!! While the food here (if you can eat it) is delicious, The service is painfully slow and inefficient. I had ordered takeout from the restaurant and specifically stated my food allergy. I had special ordered a dish that they have made for me before. After waiting an almost an hour for them to prepare my food, I got home and A few bites in I realized they had disregarded my food allergy. After popping a few Benadryl I tried to reach the restaurant to have them correct the order and I kept getting an answering machine. The benadryl kicked in so I caved and went to bed hangry. It's a great place to dine in if you have all of the time in the world, but if you are looking for quick take out or you have food allergies, buyer beware. ****as an update, the restaurant called me back the next day and offered to delivery the meal again, with care paid to the allergy. I greatly appreciated this as this is truly one of my favorite places to eat in the area. I would love to change them to five stars except a) food allergy mistakes should not happen like that in the food industry b) the driver who dropped off the complimentary meal for their mistake immediately asked me for a tip which I felt was out of line. read more

Himalayan has a fairly authentic cultural Tibetan food that's rare to find in DC area. You can tell the owner put thoughts into the interior design to cater to the Tibetan cultural root. The nan we ordered was crispy, buttery and has a little surprise hidden inside. It tastes very different from the regular nan from the Indian restaurant. We also ordered goat momo, which is pretty much dumpling but the skins are thin and it's pretty juicy inside. Overall, I had a very positive "filling" about this place! read more

My boyfriend and I recently just move here from San Francisco and we've been in search for our go to indian food place. We browsed around yelp for reviews and I have to say I am very disappointed in you yelpers who've given this place more then 3 stars. This review is solely based on flavor not service since we decided to order delivery one friday night. The food we ordered was garlic naan, Chicken Makhni, and Lamb Vindaloo. The chicken had large chunks of chicken to hide the lack of sauce. I understand why, since the sauce sucked. My boyfriend had Lamb Vindaloo, the lamb was rough and in this case they were hiding the lack of flavor with the spiciness of the sauce. Lastly, with the quality of food the price was far too expensive. 1st fail at finding our go-to indian place. Hey, it may be a better in-house experience, I may give them the benefit of the doubt if someone was treating me to dinner and they insisted on this place. read more

I came here with my boyfriend for our 3 month anniversary. Don't let the exterior fool you. The inside is quaint and dimly lit to get an intimate atmosphere. I wished it was a little brighter though as it was quite hard to see the menu. This was the second Nepalese restaurant I've been to, and it was quite good. The momos are to die for! I LOVE THEM! We also got goat curry and it was ok. My boyfriend loved it. I'm not a fan of goat and it was the first time I had it and I'm really picky with food too. Overall, it was a really nice dinner. Definitely going to come back! read more

The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is because we got delivery from there. I'm guessing that some of the items "might" have been better had they been easten ASAP and not sat in a car and driven across town. That being said, the fried momos were horrible, granted this could be from them being delivered. Same with the Paneer Pakora. The saag paneer was bland and horrible. The cheese cubes were super dense and almost gelatinous. I've had some amazing, creamy saag paneer, and this is the worst I've ever had. The naan/bread sampler was dry and old. It was as if they made it several days ago and it just sat around. The Chow Mein was bland, with nothing but celery in it. This place was expensive, and NOTHING that we ordered was remotely delicious. read more

Thumbs up for the Himalayans! Went with a group of six. Had a great time. Room is attractive. Servers are genuinely sweet and helpful. The food is varied, interesting, and excellent. Our group shared a whole mix of things, from chana masala to biriyani to Nepalese grilled meats. Everything was fresh and tasty. The best part: even with alcohol, the bill came to only $45/person. Well worth a visit. read more

I got to the restaurant just after they opened at 5:30 and it was empty. However, I ended up having to wait almost an hour for my friend. By the time we sat down the place was mostly full. I had the Nepal goat special which I thought was very good. The portions are on the small side so you may want to order an appetizer. Over all the service was good. However, I should note that we didn't get the order of naan bread we ordered. Also, we were charged $2.95 for a second bowl of rice, which i thought was a little petty. We didn't get anything from the bar, but it looked to be fully stocked with what ever you may want. Being in Adams morgan I am guessing the place is open late. that said I think is is more fitting for lunch or maybe dinner, as it isn't the kind of food you'll want after a night of drinking. I have it three stars instead of four for the following reasons: -We ordered naan, had it show up on our bill and never got it. There wasn't a problem having them take it off our tab. -We ordered two entrees were brought one bowl of rice. When we asked for a second we were charged for it -Portion sizes at dinner were on the small side. read more

I'm only posting this, so I don't lose track of my favorite new meal. DHINDO THALI w/ the goat - yummy assortment of exotic flavors and textures. Super easy to share. Comes from Nepal. Ours came w/ picketed radishes, (fermented?) fish in tomato sauce, lightly pickled and delightful leafy greens, and a dried mushroom w/ soybeans. read more

You came to a Nepalese/Tibetan restaurant and you order Indian food you can get down the street? [negative comment about people's tastes/choices redacted] The decor here is fantastic. The bar is ambient lit/trendy with everything else looking like a Nepalese sushi bar/Everest base camp. Very unique. Food? How many Tibetan restaurants have you been to? Go to Tibet much? It's special. Try it. It's good! Staff nice, food good. Location and decor great. read more

I have visited Himalayan Heritage twice now, once on a date with my boyfriend and last night to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday with a group of 7. The best thing about this restaurant is... well, I can't pick. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is really on point. One of the things I ALWAYS take note of wherever I am dining is if my water glass stays full. It's important for me, and especially if I'm eating spicy food. They were on top of that, and I really appreciated it! Not to mention everyone who works here is very welcoming, warm, and attentive. I don't expect anything fancy for a birthday, but I loved that when I told them about my boyfriend's celebration, their response was perfect and subtle. I won't give it away here, but it was very classy. The food is very flavorful - we had a round of appetizers and lots of different dishes. Everyone agreed that it was a great meal. I can personally account for the Butter Chicken and the Himalayan Curry - though the flavors are nearly identical to Indian food, there was something slightly different (in a good way) about the dishes that made it feel like Nepal food vs. just a "take" on Indian food. As a lover of Indian food, I appreciated the similarity but was grateful for the difference. I highly recommend coming here for a cozy date night or with a group. I'm not sure what the restaurant is like on weekends (I went on a Tuesday and a Sunday night), but it is low-key, relaxing place to get delicious food. read more

The delivery service was beyond abysmal. A small order for two people room 2 and a half hours to arrive, after calling several times and being told "it would be there any moment" for the last hour. The delivery person was not apologetic or concerned in the least and told me that I should "just order take out if you want food because it would make it easier on me." The food was mediocre, not bad, but the whole experience was extremely unpleasant because of the delivery service and length of time it took. read more
