Yummy food! The momos were the best. Kids enjoyed the tandoori chicken. Gobi Manchurian was good too. Veg fried rice could have been better, it seemed too dry. Quick service and a quiet place to sit down and eat. read more

Have always loved the food here to eat in or takeout - noodles, fish appetizer and momos are my go to. This time I worked with Pavan Sharma to make a party catering order happen. He was super responsive, gave me a sense of cost per dish even before I had a budget or estimate, suggested ways I can cut down and made sure everything was ready on time. Plus all our friends loved the food and asked us where we got it from! read more

Momo Lovers!! Give this place a try. Loved their momos. For west San Jose folks, it's a very close and convenient place. If you are in west gate mall shopping or doing some errands, you can have your lunch or dinner or evening snack here.. service is good and the food is yum. I have tried their tandoori chicken momos, chicken momos, chicken momos with jhol, veg momos. Butter chicken and garlic naan. Their naan tasted fresh and not frozen. Their butter chicken sauce was better than many other indian restaurants I have tried in the past. I am gonna try next time their Indo Chinese dishes. This place is definitely a winner for me read more

A taste of Nepal that will leave you speechless. Our visit started with Pawan, who cheerfully greeted and guided us through the menu. He was truly exceptional in his knowledge of the menu, service, friendliness and attentiveness. This venue has a menu of interesting, modestly priced dishes that are nourishing, warming and terrifically tasty. Veggie Momos, to name one were wrapped in the thin dough, and exquisite. Himalayan Curry Chicken was ultra moist, coated in spices and simply tasted heavenly. Do not be surprised if you are recommended chow mein: they are favorites of Tibetan diners. There is also little trace here of India, which borders Tibet and whose influence often manifests at local Tibetan restaurants in the form of languid curries. So be sure to check them out, too. In the end, dining at this establishment will give you an incredibly authentic -- and to die for -- taste of Nepal without leaving your home. And, if you're lucky to meet Pawan on your next visit, your service will be truly spotless. read more

This restaurant is like a hidden gem, had the best chowmein with chilli momos on top combination of these two is not on the menu but Pawan was so nice to customize this for me. Tried their thali too which is absolutely amazing and feels like home cooked meal(which is hard to find). Overall loved the food, great service and decent price . Highly recommend! read more

Had a chance to try this awesome spot and this is a good spot if you are looking for some yummy Indian and Nepalese food. You can get everything from butter chicken and naan to momos and noodles here which is awesome. This is a good spot for families as well since you can sit down and the interior is well done. It is part of the west gate mall but has its own entrance and easy to find! I ended up getting takeout and ordered: * chicken momo - delicious and juicy, these were steamed and came with an orange and red sauce which had a lot of flavor * chicken c momo - this was really yummy and came in a sauce which was flavorful and slightly spicy but I loved it. * vegetarian momo - this was filled with veggies and some paneer I believe and was nice and flavorful for those who are vegetarian! * chicken noodles - this I really liked and it came with plenty of chicken which I loved. The noodles were well flavored *chicken fried rice - this was a little dry and less flavorful, I would pick the noodles over rice * fish fry - this was made with i believe some Nepalese seasoning and parents liked this a lot, it came with tartar sauce Overall, food was yummy and enjoyed it. Would recommend to visit! read more

We have become regulars here! The food is delicious we especially love the tikka masala and lamb vindaloo. On top of the tasty food the restaurant is very family friendly. Pawan is always very accommodating and welcoming to our (unruly) toddler. Service is consistently quick and friendly. I agree with what others mentioned-- Himalayan Magic Masala is a hidden gem and worth checking out. read more

The service is awful awful awful. Please go to some other Nepali restaurant. The momos are decent but not worth the attitude and the service. read more

This place has excellent food. Everything we tried was very good. Pawan Sharma helped us out through the entire experience, when we weren't sure what to order, & had questions about the food. I went here with several friends & we tried a lot of dishes & each one was outstanding! read more

Delicious and high quality Indian food. The butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are some of the best I've had. The butter and garlic naan was extremely fresh. I would not order the malabar paratha bread again, it is not as good as the paratha bread I've had in other Indian restaurants. But try the chicken tikka masala with butter or garlic naan here at Himalayan Magic Masala. Next time I visit, I will try their momo dumplings which look delicious. read more

Food really good. Its chill at weekdays and didnt expect fast service. Butter chicken and butter nan is the perfect combination.

There is a quite the list of momo dumplings to explore. We had two different chicken ones: one was steamed and served with two sauces and the other was pan fried with a sauce and peppers and onions. We also had garlic naan and butter chicken served with rice. Convenient location (can be accessed from both within the Westgate mall as well as from an exterior door), clean and quick, friendly service. read more

Noticed that this place replace the Smashburger and decided to try it out when we were in the area for an event. They definitely have a vibe, pretty heavy with the religious tones with a religious video playing and incense burning. It was kind of eerie that there wasn't anyone else eating here at the same time, though some people ordered here for takeout. We got the Lamb Biryani, Chicken Tikka, and Seekh Kabob. The biryani came out pretty quickly, and they offered some raita when they served it. It was pretty good, with some large chunks of lamb, though there wasn't that much meat. The Chicken Tikka was pretty nice and juicy, with a few charred parts, and nicely spiced. My friend didn't like it as much as he said it was too strong in the wrong ways for his tastes. The Seekh Kabob was alright, though it didn't have that much flavor, though it also had pretty nice char. The service was alright, nothing special but we didn't need much either. I'm not sure if I would come again, but if I do, I would probably try the more typical dishes like butter chicken and roti that people said they enjoyed on their visits. read more

We ordered Doordash Delivery from here. We ordered goat curry, lamb curry, vegetable curry, garlic naan, goat bryani and tandoori chicken momo. The tandoori chicken was really good. Goat and lamb meats weren't as tender as I liked. But the flavors of all the curries were good. The goat curry has no option for level of spice. Vegetable had no spice even though we selected mild. Lamb curry and goat bryani were spicy since we picked medium. Garlic naan wasn't as fluffy as I liked. It would be perfect if the meats were more tender. read more

This Himalayan restaurant is located inside Westgate Mall. Go through the foodcourt entrance and you'll find the place right in front of the building near Kuma Sushi. This place deserve to get 5 stars for its foods. Place was nicely decorated and clean. We ordered chicken momo. It was packed with chicken meat, got the crunch from cabbage, was served with 2 types of sauce, the mild sauce has some gingery taste to it which I personally don't like because I'm not a fan of ginger, the spicy sauce compliment the momo really well!! What I like about it is the momo has thin skin, enough meat on the inside and most importantly is hot and juicy. We also got Nepali Thali w/chicken. Chicken curry was good and fresh, however it lacks a little bit of spice and flavor. Papadum was a little stale as well. But the lentil and black eye peas curry were good!! It also comes with vegetables on the side which compliments the dish really well. Butter chicken was made with chicken breast, it was not dry at all which I love!! Usually chicken breast tend to taste more dry, but they did not overcooked it. Curry was flavorful and creamy. We ate it with garlic naan which also was good. Overall, this is one of my favorite indian/himalayan restaurants. Definitely will be back with more family members. Don't think twice, just give them a try! And support local business! read more

Excellent tasting foods and beautiful food presentation as usual. Great customer service. Welcoming and good ambiance. Lots of available tables and chairs. Decent prices with great selections on menu. Order at kiosk machine by front door inside mall. Choose to dine in or takeout. Nepali Thali meal sets are always my favorites to order, especially when I cannot decide quickly. I had the chicken set. Absolutely delicious and fulfilling. Portions are huge, so it took me a much longer time to finish the entire plate. Had a hot cup of milk tea with it too. Very good. No long lines or crowds during Wednesday lunch hours. Curry and side dishes are always flavorful. Love all ingredients. Naan bread was plain, but good too. Not bad for a very satisfying lunch plate. I really enjoyed the stop today. Male staff does it all. Yes, deserves tips here. These places stand out in the community because pandemic really killed a lot of confidence and dining out in groups these days. I hope they remain good tasting and profitable here. Yes, will be coming back for more in future. Yummy lunch. It tastes as good as it looks. For much under $30 total including tips and taxes, not bad at all. Good quality foods. read more

Great food! I'm Chinese - grew up eating chow mein and I never thought I'd love chow mein from an Indian/Nepalese restaurant!! The spice is just right and makes this amazing!! It's a must try! Also, you know those XLB (xiao long bao) from Ding Tai Fung and other places? If you want those w a kick of spice and curry, they got some right here too! And if you're like me--always finding spicy stuff to test your limits, then you must try the chili chicken!!! Overall, great service (the manager Pawan really cares) and you won't feel like its like other restaurants, paying on those machines that automatically slap a 18-22% tip for your to-go order. read more

Relaxing place to have lunch and a good place for vegetarian. The Manchurian Gobi (cauliflower) appetizer was so delicious! The sag paneer (spinach and cheese) was buttery and loaded with fresh spinach, topped with a little fresh tomato. The garlic Naan is superb. We felt like welcome guests and we'll be back. read more

The service is great along with the food. We tried the chicken biryani, pani puri, lamb vindaloo and chicken C ' momo. Everything was seasoned great. Not too spicy but just right. We had plenty of left overs for another meal. The mango Lassi was a great end to the meal. We will definitely be back to try their other dishes. read more

Ordered to go. The quality of meat/fish wasn't that great. The fish was tilapia vs most other places it's salmon. Food was just okay. probably wouldn't order from here again. There are better Nepalese spots in the area read more

The restaurant is in the Westgate mall. We were going to go for Poke, but it was closed. It was just a bit past 7:15 on a Saturday night. So, we decided we would try this place out. It looked a bit slow... but with two Indian families there that was a good sign. The restaurant itself used to be a Smashburger, so I came in not expecting much. We walked in and we're greeted by Pawan, who was very friendly. He even a schooled us on the proper way to eat the Pani Poori by filling it up to the brim with the Pani liquid. My wife and I were simply adding a few drops of it, but it is really like a taste explosion practically filling it up to the brim and tossing it back like a shooter in one bite... Topping it up is a bit much for me so I'll probably just go 1/2-3/4 of the way going forward. We even had to have a second order and there's only two of us. Our other appetizer was the Aloo Papdi Chaat. The wafers were crispy and thick, a nice surprise... and again, everything was just so fresh and flavorful... my only criticism of the entire meal was this was a bit too sweet; (come to think of it the Pani Poori was already pre-assembled... I actually like putting it all together myself But man, if you get a hankering for Indian nachos, this is it! I ordered the lamb kebab which came out on a sizzling platter. It was so flavorful and tender and perfectly grilled. You can even see the steam in my photo. No leftovers here. My wife ordered the Sag Paneer.. again, perfectly balanced obviously fresh spinach was used, It wasn't macerated. There was plenty of paneer and was savory with a hint of salty and sweet, just delish! My take away is whatever the chef does here is distinctively elevate every dish keeping the traditional taste I've experienced at dozens of places throughout my world travels with every bite being familiar, delicious yet somehow new at the same time. At the core the only rational thought as to how this was achieved is everything tasted fresh and of high quality. The food shines on its own. Full stop. Take away the environment and you could blindfold me and I could honestly say it tasted like it was made by a Michelin chef. nary - Well done. My new favorite. Both Chaat and non-veg Indian food perfectly executed with reasonable prices good serving sizes! read more

Very good food and service. Himalayan chicken and chicken momos are a must try. Generous quantity.

Stop by on our way to home . Awesome great food. Server was very attentive . Nice interior.

I was expecting the food to be better. The dumplings were clearly made ahead of time and frozen. The best thing was the naan.

One of the best Gobi Manchurian. Great service! We had ordered for pickup but the owner let us eat in and was very kind! read more
