    This place is super yummy! Great options from vegan to extra meats! They have a heat profile from 1-10, they told us 6 was considered Thai hot. We ordered 5 as my husband can't handle too much heat, however I didn't taste the heat at all. But it was still so good and full of flavor. The lamb was perfectly cooked. We also got the garlic naan, it is so fresh and good. I would recommend this place to anyone! Service 5/5 stars!!! Friendly funny and fast!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio and roof top seating is so nice. I love the indoor/outdoor door feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Bold, Flavorful, and Comforting We're at Himalayan Kitchen and the food is delicious and full of spice. We ordered the aloo chili with tofu, saag (spinach with potatoes), naan bread, turmeric rice, and the spring rolls. The spring rolls were actually my favorite -- they were a bit greasy (you can see it in the photo), but still crispy, flavorful, and really good. Everything else was well-seasoned, aromatic, and comforting, with bold flavors that didn't overwhelm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can sit inside or outside, which is nice depending on the weather.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's parking in the back; according to the host it's about $0.75 per hour (possibly after 6 PM), but either way it's very reasonable and easy. Overall, a great meal and a place I'll definitely be coming back to.

    I was told this was unusual by our friends who recommended this place so will try going again and updating if true. We had booked a table for a specific time. We arrived early and said we would wait till our other party arrived. They said we could sit if we wanted but they had no idea which table was booked. We chose one and when our friends arrived we opened a bottle of wine and ordered pappadam. After 30 min no pappadam but we also order our dinners. 30min later, 1hr after we say down still no papadam or our food. 30 min later our papadam arrives and we are on our end bottle of wine. No food till 1'45" after we ordered. The food was tasty but we were so full of water, wine and papadam it was hard to get the appetite to enjoy all of the dishes we'd ordered. While waiting for the ladies room others said they'd been waiting 1hr for takeout, 1 hour and still waiting for good like us but at that point, we'd been waiting for 90min. The odd thing is they seemed to have alot of staff, busboy, waiters, servers, all not speaking English except for the owner and our waiter taking the order. How long should one wait for food? Should the owner know they can't fulfill orders at a certain capacity? Should one tip after waiting for 2 hours after being seated amd if so, how much? There were a few larger parties of 8 or so and maybe because of the wait, several people came out on the terrace where we were seated and stood basically over us having full FaceTime conversations while we tried to have our own.

    Madras Madness Rice Chicken Tikka Masala Mix Tandoori Kabab

    We Love trying new restaurants and we decided to try this location. Food - we had chicken masala, rice, roti, bread basket (naan - garlic, onion & plain), mix tandoori kebab, & Madras madness. All of it is highly recommended and must try. Dessert: Gulab Jamun - this was delicious and must try. 4 spice chocolate Gelato - its an acquired taste but definitely different and good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere: we sat outside in the lanai and view is nice and great place to sit during dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service: was amazing! Suman was great! He helped us decide on our dessert and had great conversation with him. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Environment overall was comfortable and great place to enjoy with friends & family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We definitely would come back to this restaurant to try out the rest of the food on the menu. Highly recommend!

    Free birthday dessert- so sweet of them! Ginger cardamom gelato on left and 4 spice chocolate on right. Amazing! Goes well with wine.

    This is my absolute favorite place for Indian and Nepalese food in Hawai'i. I'll tell you why... The food is always delicious, with so many choices that I still haven't tried it all and I've been coming here at least 10+ years now. The portions are generous and the price is so affordable. The atmosphere in the Kaimuki location is laid back, and I love to eat outside and enjoy the cool breezes at night on their patio listening to music and eating and chatting with friends. We never feel pressured to leave so the next party can have our table bc there's room for everyone. The service is always so friendly and accommodating. Whenever we have a birthday party or gathering there, the staff goes above and beyond to make us feel special and enjoy the experience. Any substitutions or requests are usually able to be made and there's never bad vibes about it. This location is HUGE so there's never a wait for a table, unlike some of the other places in town where it can take an hour or more to get a seat. This is something I highly appreciate because let's face it: O'ahu is overpopulated and restaurants get hyped up and then you wait forever. And those places raise the prices and quality goes down bc they're overwhelmed by popularity. They're BYOB so it makes having some nice wine with dinner that much more affordable plus you can have whatever you want to drink, you're not limited to the restaurant's menu. There's parking galore which is a challenge at other Indian restaurants (if they even offer parking) so that also adds to the enjoyment of eating here. Any time I bring friends here we ALWAYS enjoy, have a great meal, have fun and never break the piggy bank.

One of my longtime favorites is their Yuzu Lemonade, but I think the new Aloha Energy Drink may have officially taken the top spot. It has medical-grade beet powder, natural caffeine from guarana, ginseng, and maca -- and you genuinely feel the aloha and the power. Today I ordered the spicy Yakisoba, and the noodles had the perfect bite and mouthfeel. The salad was fresh and crisp, and while I personally could handle quite a bit more spice, I appreciate that they balance the heat so it's enjoyable and approachable for everyone without overpowering the dish. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is always welcoming. The chef is consistently friendly, the staff is kind, and the restaurant is always clean. It's such a great feeling being able to eat somewhere with confidence knowing they're using fresh, clean ingredients. Highly recommend SYOY! Deb B

Always freshly made. The warm crispy panko coated katsu on the tofu pairs perfectly with the pickled veggies and the soft bun ties it all together. Textural Heaven. The Korean Hirata Buns are massive! The texture on the tofu is better than real chicken. The Korean flavors on the chick'n, house made pickles and the kimchi aioli make this another flavor masterpiece. The house made buns are fresh and the perfect vehicle for everything going on with the flavors. Very filling!

First, at least when I went, the rice was sitting out in a separate dish and was room temperature. I would like the rice to at least be warm, even better if it had some fragrant flavor like saffron rice should but I didn't taste it. Second, I got the falafel, which is something best served fresh or it gets dried out, unfortunately it was very dry even when dipping in the tzatziki so I did not finish it. The harissa sauce mixed with tzatziki was really good so I'm hopeful that a fresh and hot falafel with warm rice would have been much better than what I had today. Willing to try again. The staff was young but sweet and helpful, no complaints there.

Despite the fact that it's a considerably trek for city-dwellers, factoring either traffic or bus schedules into the equation, or both if you're particularly unlucky, it's a journey always worth taking. Hit Hanauma Bay along the way and make it a day trip; the only way to top those dazzling sights is to follow them with a stellar meal. Boasting a menu composed of locally-sourced produce and entirely vegan options, you'll want to take a number of friends for the best experience. Heck, get out there and make some new friends! Join one of the long communal picnic tables out back and introduce yourself; there are no friendlier folks on earth than those living in paradise, as far as I've seen. That said, if there was only one dish to order, it would have to be the Oh WOW Laulau. Wow, indeed! No where else on earth have I found vegan laulau, let alone such a stellar rendition. Traditionally consisting of fatty pork and/or fish steamed in taro leaves, this version eschews the meat in favor of hearty root vegetables, adding creamy coconut into the mix for richness. Not to be overlooked is the Tofu Poke provided on the side, claiming to be spicy but really bearing just enough warmth to taste perfectly balanced. This was easily my personal favorite from the small sampling of dishes provided, but it's a close call when all the options are so good. Another front runner is the BBQ Portobello Sandwich. Mushrooms marinated in a bright, smoky barbecue sauce practically sing between two whole wheat buns. Coconut slaw tops off the assemblage with just the right amount of subtle sweetness to contrast the deeply savory flavors within. Simpler but no less spectacular dishes include the Roasted Veg Platter and Roasted Veg Avocado Sandwich. The way that the vegetables are treated with respect, from the moment they're harvested from nearby farms to the care taken when they reach the kitchen is evident with every bite. Cooked with care and proffered generously with each serving, even the basics make the trek out here worthwhile. I'm still trying to recreate that impossibly umami gravy offered on the side. It's one of those things that are so astoundingly, inconceivably delicious, it's impossible to deconstruct. Each entree promises an ideal amount of food; satisfying diners without over-stuffing them. That said, you'll still want to make room for dessert, especially when you see the towering bowls full of Outta This Swirled Soft Serve. Cool, naturally sweet spirals of banana-based soft serve are dressed to the nines with cacao sauce that hardens much like magic shell, granola and coconut flakes tumbling down the mountainous terrain, and fresh fruits that vary based on local availability- Expect papaya always to be in ample supply, based on the thriving papaya trees on premise. Each order is abundant enough to be a considered a full meal in and of itself.

Or just people who want a change of pace. I first spotted Tane months ago while grabbing dinner with the family at Mini Garden next door. I made a reso for my birthday on open table, so it was seamless. The vibe inside is super trendy--it's got that darker, modern Izakaya feel that I really like. Highlights: The menu is super creative. The poke tofu salad with fresh ogo was so good, and I was also a big fan of the charred shishito, the red pepper sushi, and the stuffed mushrooms. The drinks were smooth, too (the mocktails and cocktails were both solid), though fair warning: the ETOH pour is on the lighter side. Hits & Misses: They're definitely doing some innovative things, like the pickled mango sushi. Personally, I didn't think the mango meshed well with the sushi rice: it was a lot sweeter than I expected, almost sickly sweet. I also didn't really care for the agedashi tofu because the dashi wasn't traditional and leaned pretty sweet and thick, which was also the case with the aburage sushi. The eggplant and mushroom sushi were standard and exactly what I expected, though. Service: The waitstaff was super friendly and attentive. Parking is easy to find, and the pricing is really good if you hit up Happy Hour. Bottom Line: I would go back, but I'll be a little more intentional about what I order next time!

    Located in Kaimuki near the Crackseed store and Banan, Sprout is a small sandwich shop. There is…read moreparking in the lot near the shop, or street parking. Mostly we go as a takeout spot, although there was a bench outside. Their sandwich menu has variety but is not overwhelming. The people working have also been quite nice! We decided to get the No Comply toasted. While it is a pricier sandwich, as it was about $14, the sandwich came packed with chicken, lettuce, and more. It served as a meal and a half! It was also super tasty with the roasted garlic mayo and pesto. Definitely a go-to sandwich order that I am looking forward to getting again!

    I ordered on their website and the sandwiches came out 10 minutes after the promised time…read more The store is crowded and each of our sandwiches were $15+. It feels like one of those places that has become trendy because someone on Instagram popularized it. The sandwich was good but not great. The lettuce was turning brown. In my opinion, a really great sandwich excels because you can taste the quality, freshness, and flavor of its individual ingredients. In my sandwich, the turkey was flavorless and it felt like they used a strong, heavy sauce to give it flavor, which to me does not make for a foodie destination, $15+ sandwich. Māla Market in Hawaii Kai remains, by far, my favorite sandwich. And given how long Sprout took, I could've driven to Hawaii Kai, gotten my sandwich, and driven back in less time.
