    Chicken Tikka Masala and veggie samosa on basmati rice with green condiment sauce
    Page T.

    **NEW LOCATION** 442 Uluniu Street. Same phone 808-262-1800. Much larger space with tables and seating somewhat similar to what Tokoname (the previous tenant) had. The vibe is a bit more upscale but the prices seem the same. I ordered takeout: chicken tikka masala and veggie samosas. It came with basmati rice and little containers of a green sauce, which I think has coriander and yogurt. The chicken was very tender and all was yummy. The estimated time was 20 minutes and it was about that long but I arrived later than that so am not sure. But it wasn't 45-60 minutes like at the old Kailua shopping center location. (And no chicken roaming around inside, lol.) It wasn't busy as it just opened in the new spot and there is lots of street parking on Sundays. (Whatever you do, don't park in the lane that leads to houses.) There was a party of four enjoying their dinner--without me asking, one of the men told me the food was great. Hope this quality keeps up after business picks up. I posted pics of the menu but those are available on their website.

    Had lunch here. Food came out quickly, the staff working there was nice, and prices for the lunch special are reasonable. You get a ton off food so you could probably split it into two meals. I was the only person dining in but there were plenty of takeout orders. As for the food, I got the chicken tikka plate and some plain naan. The chicken was tender and flavored well, the curry was also tasty. The naan paired well with it all. The basmati rice was a little bland though. But that's minor. Overall, a good experience.

    This review is based on my past experience and whether I can make something better at home. This place seems to have a great takeout business. There's not much seating, except for a couple of tables outside the restaurant. The gentleman running the place is super friendly. As for the food, I found it to be hit or miss. The Himalayan curry was very tasty, but the chicken tandoori was very disappointing. The tandoori locked any sort of flavor and it was dry. I was really looking forward to having a good tandoori, which I haven't had in a very long time. The chaat and naan were well made, but the basmati rice wasn't prepared to standard. I make basmati all the time so please take that with a grain of salt.

    Really good food, but looks like they are working on phone orders first so if you plan to eat there, be prepared to wait - a lot.

    The tikka was so sour and bleh. The naan was extremely dry and tough. The only thing that was decent was the chana masala.

    Can they do a Paneer Tikka in the tandoor?

    Yes can do .., just not in the menu .. but if asked yes we can Do it .. you can text at 808--358-7158 if any questions too regarding the Menu

    How are they with food allergy concerns?

    We are cooked to order. We are very concerned and we cooked according to our customer service list.

    Are there certain hours to call to place a take out order?

    I called fairly regularly from 5-6:30 this evening (Monday) and got no response. I was really craving Indian food so finally my husband and I drove over. The restaurant was completely dark and there were no signs...have you shut down? There was no… 

    Why is it called Himalayan kitchen? Dishes sound like Indian dishes. Do they have Mongolian dumplings?

    No Mongolian dumplings. They do have a few curries and dishes that are not traditionally Indian, but most of the menu is very similar to Indian food.

Maybe not the best ambiance as we sat in the parking garage as cars drove by, but that didn't stop me from loving my food. Service was good, food came out fresh and hot so I can't complain. I was craving a coffee, as I was tired from work but they don't serve it, so I just hydrated on water instead.

The portions are big and it would be enough. They were sure right, we all ate and still had 3 boxes of leftovers to take home. We ordered the vegetable appetizer sampler with all the sauces, Balti Lamb, Butter Chicken, saffron rice, Fish curry, Naan Bread, The interior of the restaurant is interesting the ceiling has all these beautiful lights and transports you to some foreign location. You don't think Hawaii while you are there. The server warned us that the tip of 18 percent is added to the bill so don't add additional 15-20 percent unless you want to. That was a nice warning. Overall a nice dinner and good for groups. It is a small restaurant so not many tables.

The ambience is very mediocre and could use an update. I will share it was clean and felt the bathrooms were clean too. The service was very good, and they were busy! We ordered 2 spicy entrees (butter chicken and lamb Rogan Josh) and the spice level in my mind was mild. My husband orders Indian hot and was just a little spicy, so order accordingly. The dishes were good, so if you're in the mood for Indian I would tell you it's good but... If you're jet legged and tired pick it up to go!
