    Vegetable Pakora
    Teresa T.

    Giving this local family restaurant another five stars! Love the tandoori chicken. They will cook it mild to spicy, however you like. Generous portions and reasonably priced.

    Butter chicken....to die for!

    Staying in Apple Valley during a high desert sojourn, I was very impressed with the quality of the food and the service at Himalayan Indian Kitchen. I ordered dinner delivery to my Airbnb; everything arrived promptly and perfectly packaged. Most importantly, everything was delicious. Butter chicken: The incredibly rich, delicious curry sauce feels like a meal in and of itself, even without the tender bits of chicken. Put them together and you're in heaven. You are able to adjust the level of spiciness to your liking. Must order! Garlic naan: Arrived steaming hot, delicious, perfect pairing with the butter chicken. Vegetable pakoras: Tasty vegetable snacks arrived with two delicous chutneys, tamarind and cilantro, in generous portions. Highly recommended if you're in the area. And that butter chicken is probably drive-worthy.

    Staff really friendly, food is amazingly flavorful! Such a hidden gem!! They have food to choose from kinda like a Chinese restaurant where you can order 1 to 3 item combos, as well as made to order. Totally reccomend this establishment, very authentic and delicious! Here's what we ordered: Butter Chicken Chicken Momo (we dipped it in our Butter Chicken sauce) Garlic Naan Tandoori Chicken And basmati rice of course! Clean restaurant, plenty of parking, no public restroom, limited seating but worth it 100%

    First time a this place. I ordered the chicken and rice, or how they call it, biriyani. It was delish, a bit spicy, but perfect for mi likings. Definitely will come back to try something else next time.

    The food here is so good! The paneer was delicious, and I liked the size of the pieces. The rice was also good especially with the sauce. I also got a chai, and I appreciate that they sweeten theirs because I love a sweet chai. It was warm and spicy and so delicious. I've also enjoyed the kheer from here, very delicious as well. The workers here are really nice, so I will definitely be back :)

    This is now our go to for Indian food. The owner and staff are ALWAYS amazing to us and the food has NEVER been a let down. I've tried things I never normally would have and even then it wasn't bad in taste, just not something I would pick. I can't recommend this place anymore. Our favorites are the butter chicken, lamb/chicken korma, garlic naan, lamb/chicken tikka masala. I've tried the chili chicken, chicken momo, tandoori chicken, dahl makhani, and some haven't ended up favorites that is not to say they were bad! I plan on trying more things.

    Lowkey some of the best food I've had--absolutely fire Service was on point too. The owners are super sweet, it honestly felt like pulling up to a family's house and sharing a meal together.

    Finally got the chance to try Himalayan Indian Kitchen's, and let me tell you their food is chef's kiss. The butter chicken and with the Garlic Naan combined was sooo good, I also got curry chicken very yum as well. As for drink I got a super yummy creamy Mango Lassi as my dessert since I was so stuffed. The inside is super clean and neat which I loved, another thing is that the vibes inside are chill and calming even while the staff was cooking. Oh and everyone that works here are so sweet and friendly, definitely RECOMMENDED Last thing I'll say is the prices are great.

    I've come to this place twice and I am always greeted by a nice gentleman, he was very attentive to our visit. Food was so good I didn't get a chance to snag a photo of my meal. The chicken Tikka Masala was so delicious, the medium spice was perfect for me. I loved the vegetable samosas as well. Will be coming back more! Don't forget to try the mango lassi!

    Delicious food. Absolutely 100% delicious. Naan was fire. Butter chicken and tiki masala also fire. The hospitality is always there. The owner is so beyond friendly every time I go. I tried the spicy butter chicken this time and he saw I was mixed emotions on the spice level so he brought me some tiki masala to mix in it. Exactly what I needed to mellow it out. Amazing people amazing place amazing food. 10/10 will always go back.

    Vegetable Samosa

    Just had dinner after driving back from Big Bear. We almost ended up having Thai food, but they were about to close. THANK GOODNESS!! We decided to stop by and check it out. They had a nice variety available for the combination meals, but we decided to order off the menu. The vegetable samosas were incredible! And the sauces were an excellent compliment to the flavors. The garlic naan was light and fluffy with just the right amount of garlic. Our mains were delicious with the perfect amount of heat. Our server was so friendly and helpful at answering all our questions. It's a great little place in a convenient location. We will definitely be back as this is now our favorite Indian restaurant (and top 5 overall) in the area.

    Regular biriyani vs. Shrimp biriyani
    Melody V.

    Well, this restaurant is a nice addition to this side of the desert, and I am all for it! This Himalyan Indian Restaurant is for the open-minded and those seeking flavor, but if you are not sure or curious about its flavors, I recommend you order one of the 3 combos offered. You not only get to visually see the dishes (as Indian food is not always visually pleasing to those who are not familiar), but selecting a combo will give you an opportunity to try a few dishes. Of course, my friend opted to order the meals in hopes of sharing our chosen dishes, and I say, for about $70, we got our money's worth. Unfortunately, they serve such meals in to-go containers, so sharing a meal was tricky but convenient to pack when I couldn't finish my Yellow Daal and Saag Paneer. I blame my fill of Mango Lassi and Naan. Mmm... Mango Lassi...think of the taste and texture as a melted mango yogurt, but cold. Are you confused yet? Let me explain. First, there are dishes I was not familiar with, so the customer service was very helpful in giving me an idea of what each dish was like. It is helpful if you were already familiar with Indian food, but if not (or just curious) and you already read this far in my review, I suggest searching the internet for descriptions of unfamiliar dishes. We were informed, with the exception of the Tandoori Chicken, that all the chicken dishes are boneless. I recommend the savory Chicken Korma, chicken simmered in a curry style sauce made with coconut. You can choose your spicy: none, mild, medium...and maybe for the more adventurous, a regular amount of spice. Yellow Daal (which I was craving) is a lentil based dish. Lentils come in various colors and flavors, and this one was yellow. I ordered it without spice and still enjoyed it. Saag Paneer has always been my favorite. I also opted not to have this dish spicy, and I loved it. So good! Again, it's not a visual dish, but I do love a good stewed spinach dish with cubes of cheese (usually goat cheese). For both the Daal and the Saag, I ate it with plain Naan bread (which you can choose from a variety of flavors). I recommend eating the Daal and Saag with Naan. Delicious! I read a review that was surprised that their meal didn't come with rice. Though we ordered a shrimp biryani (rice, which we ordered mild). The spice and flavor in the shrimp biryani were perfect. Large shrimp pieces, too! ours came with plain biryani, but really, you eat your meal with Naan. The moment you walk in, the wonderful smell and essence of Himalyan Indian food speak to you. From the cooks to the service to the food, I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I don't know if this side of the desert deserves such wonderful flavors, but I do know that those who are not familiar with challenge the flavors and those who are familiar will be open to exploring familiar and new dishes. Many of the dishes contain coconut milk or nutty curries. Dietary needs may not be available, but many dishes can be made vegan as the meat dishes offered (respectfully reflective of the culture) are lamb and chicken.

    The Chicken Tikka Masala is missing in this photo but the tandoori chicken, naan and rice are great!!

    Indian food has officially earned a permanent spot in my cravings!…read moreI've been dining at this restaurant since it first opened, and honestly, I'm not sure why I waited so long to write a review. Over the last year,I've worked my way through almost the entire menu, and I have yet to find a dish that isn't absolutely delicious. Today, I ordered delivery instead of dining in, and I was impressed that the food arrived just as flavorful and satisfying as it is in the restaurant. Every dish is packed with rich spices and incredible flavors that make each bite an experience of its own. If you're in the area and looking for amazing Indian food, give this place a try you really can't go wrong. For first time visitors, I highly recommend starting with the butter chicken, naan, and basmati rice. It's the perfect introduction and one of my all-time favorites. This place continues to exceed my expectations every time. Highly recommended!

    Food 2/5 Ambiance 5/5…read moreService 4/5 I want to caveat this review by admitting that I've only had Indian food a couple times in my lifetime, but after eating this place, I can definitively say that Indian food is not my cup of tea. So if youre someone who loves Indian food, take this review with a grain of salt. Inside seating only for this place and the inside is clean with cute decor and plenty of space. Service was good and food came out fast. However, all their food was Incredibly heavy and way too pungent. Everything seemed to be slathered in sauces that's were incredibly pungent that i felt like the flavors were a punch in the senses. I was looking forward to the chicken tikka masala but it was way too watery and felt more like a tomato bisque than a tikka masala. I'd have to say that my favorite part of the meal was the garlic naan. I actually felt like I had somewhat of a stomach ache after eating here and will not be back anytime soon.

You wouldn't expect to find such delicious Southern Indian food in a low key plaza in Colton, CA of all places, so this was a pretty good pull from him. Since we came for a later lunch, we were seated immediately and aside from a couple other customers, I think the other orders were all for to go. It's a small family owned restaurant and has a lot of cultural decor and the portrait of their grandfather. Love that. Food came out quickly and the portion sizes are quite generous. Everything was super flavorful and had complex taste profiles. With some things being a bit sour and spicy, to creamy and tangy, and with the carbs having different textures too, made each bite diverse and delicious. You don't get tired of your meal so quickly and makes the dining experience quite fun too, at least for someone who doesn't eat this cuisine as often. I don't quite remember the names of everything that I got, but I did enjoy everything that was ordered from the stews, curries, sauces, and it all went really well with the huge crispy piece of dosa and the vada pastry. I'm not sure when I'll be back in this area, but this is a solid place to eat.

Beyond Biryani is apparently 2 partners from India - one north and one south - so it's a marriage of regional flavors under one roof. My son wanted to treat me to dinner early for Fathers Day. I have been longing to try this restaurant since it had been recommended by a client of mine from India. He promised this was "the place" in the IE for authenticity. So I opted to go here - eager for the opportunity. A party of five of us arrived We were greeted by the tantalizing masala fragrances and an older kind faced gentleman who is likely one of the proprietors. We were promptly seated and began salivating over the selections. The menu is prolific - check their website for a preview. I had my mind set on 4 dishes right away after arriving and reading through the offerings. I asked advice from the server, a young lady that was quite welcoming. We assured her we could handle the heat of some of the warmer dishes (I LOVE spice!!) Multiple spicy curries, a tangy rich & creamy tikka masala, a fiery chicken biryani dish, and some lightly charred garlic naan appeared after appropriate time. Dig in!! Oooooooh my - picture Mark Wiens saying "ooooooohhhh" (iykyk). So very satisfying! Heat that had the tears on the edge of the eyelids, but was so enjoyable! Succulent curry gravies, tender chicken and lamb, and scooping it as fast as swallowing and savoring allow. Loved every bite! My one regret? The photo you see is the ONLY one we got (the server was super sweet and took it along with some good natured jesting with us). Long story short? Best Indian food experience I have had. Can't wait to return! Epic!!! Thank you!!
