My son and I grabbed a bite before the hockey game back in January. His first Indian/ Himilayan experience. Cannot stop thinking about the food here. Very cool place! read more

Such fabulous service by an adorable waitress. Great command of the menu and made us feel welcome and unhurried. We were struggling to decide because everything sounded so good! Not pictured, the mango lassi I chugged before I remembered! I did speak to the waitress about a good menu item to add perhaps--a thali. A great way for customers to try numerous items! Perhaps one vegetarian and one non-vegetarian offered each week. read more

The staff was all extraordinarily friendly and gave us great menu recommendations as well as checked on us throughout our meal in a genuine manner. The food really delicious! The chicken shahi korma and baigan bharta were standouts! read more

The food was amazing and the service was very good. Good atmosphere. We enjoyed it very much.

Had a delicious take away order for the family with a variety of curries, naans, fried appetizers and more. Order was ready on time, hot, and packed accurate. Planning on coming back for more. Tip: When you enter outer vestibule, there are two doors. The door on your left is sit-down restaurant. For take-away, go ahead into the bar; food will be at the counter. read more

Absolutely delicious, one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Any bad review on this place is a scam.

We ordered carry out while on vacation and absolutely loved it. The Dal Tadka, Saag Paneer, Baigan Bharta, Basmati Saffron Rice and Naan were excellent! We carried out because we have a dog and didn't realize you had a patio. We will definitely return when we visit Fernie next summer! read more

The food was good and the ambiance of the place was great. Service was awesome - definitely a treat in Fernie!

Better than average Indian food. Our server was friendly, and the food was pretty good. The naan were very good. The dishes were served at the requested spice level and a very good hot sauce was provided on the side for those of us who wanted it. Good choice for Indian food in Fernie. read more

We're fortunate to have food like this in Fernie. Good service very friendly staff pretty good value for your money. I'd recommend this place for sure. read more

First time here as we're visiting Fernie. This restaurant has everything: great service, ambiance and delicious food!

Soooo good! Great place, great staff and the food is incredible! I recommend this place to everyone that comes through Fernie. Watch out for the spice, get mild if you are not a fan of heat! read more

Clean, bright flavors on the two dishes we had and really wonderful garlic naan. Colorful decor that' feels fresh. Service was super friendly and paced well. Would hold its own in towns far larger than Fernie!! Well done. read more

We went out of our way to stop in Fernie and have dinner at the Himalayan Spice Bistro. Our friends had told us about this restaurant. It was great with wonderful flavors. The restaurant was clean. The service excellent. Best Indian cuisine we have had in a long time. If you are in Fernie I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I don't give 5 stars to just everyone! There should be halves, I felt 4 stars didn't do them justice but 5 might be a little much! Like food from the Indian sub continent? Me to! You'll like this place then. I stick to what I know most of the time. Perhaps a little afraid to try something new for fear of not liking it. We first came here on our last visit to Fernie in October of '20. Our first getaway during Covid. Sat out on the hastily made street side patio and really enjoyed their food. So, we've come back to Fernie and where do we go for our first meal?! Here of course. Starting with a couple of Samosas to share with a couple of nice Chutneys. We ordered some rice, of course, a Butter Chicken, Chana Masala, and a Paneer along with some Garlic Naan. It was a bit of a struggle to get through all that. For two that might be too much, unless you are starving. The Butter Chicken is the usual but with a slight difference. A definite Fennel flavour came through which made it a little different. Both the Paneer and Masala were fairly traditional. A heat setting of 3/5 seemed about right, no overpowering the other important flavours. The decor is very simple. The original brick wall that one sees in so many Fernie businesses is very prominent. Service was fast, friendly with 3 or was it 4, different servers all pitching in. The only downside was a band in the bar they own next door doing a sound check (6PM) and a draft that seemed to cool things down quickly. All in all a really enjoyable meal with good service. I guess we'll be back again next time we are in Fernie! read more

Awesome food! Spicy but not crazy hot! Sauces are delicious, mostly tomato based. All naan breads are very good. Highly recommend

Samosas excellent. Great vegetarian options. Korma was only okay, would not recommend. Dal was great as was aloo gobi. Okra okay. Entrees do not come with rice so be sure to order some. Saffron rice was excellent. read more

Great place to check out in Fernie!!! They have excellent service and are very friendly. The food is quite good & comes plated in very nice dishes. They have a ton of vegetarian options available which was great for me. I recommend asking for the hottest possible if you like spicy because the heat on the "medium" was barely noticeable for me (I like my food quite spicy). They do get busy during peak dinner hours but they always do a great job to make sure the food comes out in a reasonable time. For sure a spot to hit if you are in Fernie I have been many times and have never been disappointed :). read more

I absolutely love Himalayan Spice. The flavours are fantastic, the menu has lots of variety, I eat way too much every time... it's all fantastic. The menu has lots of gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options, too, so it's the perfect place for a group with various needs. One of my favs is the saag paneer, with way too many pieces of garlic naan. read more

Great Indian food. Very good service. Enough food that we had to get boxes for home! Go for the garlic naan. Yum! Butter Chicken was great. Hubs got lamb khadi (?) something. Outdoor parklet seating. Worth the walk to the end of town. read more

This is an absolute gem of a place -- yet another killer Indian restaurant in a small BC town. We ordered takeout on our night stop in Fernie. They have a large vegetarian menu, and many can be made vegan. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. The bhindi masala was scintillating, with the okra cooked to perfection and some awesome nearly-caramelized onions. The dal makhani was one of the best dals I've had -- the tomato in there worked beautifully and the spice level was intense but not overboard. The vegetable biryani was fantastic as well, with a huge amount of veggies (cauliflower especially) -- the portion was also ridiculously huge and would've been enough to fill us just with that one dish. We also got some garlic naan and allo paratha (potato-stuffed bread), both vegan, and great sides. We ordered everything "hot" and it was pretty nice -- not too overboard at all. $49 total for all that and we had more than enough for another meal the next day -- awesome. Super friendly staff, who are very endearing and hospitable, even over the phone. Can't say enough good things about this place. If you like Indian, visit this place. read more

Fantastic North Indian dishes with an added flair of Himalayan spice to make them extra special. Delicious tandoori & recommend the Kashmiri lamb rogan josh. Garlic naan and saffron basmati rice were good too. Worth a trip after a day outdoors! read more

Had the butter chicken, mango chicken and naan bread. It was excellent. Fresh and tasty. We ordered this and there were three of us and believe me we had left overs for the next day, quite large portions. read more

I'd give this place 0 stars if I could. First up, food took an hour and a half to get there. Yeah yeah yeah I see on the website that it says something along the lines of "45 mins but could take longer" but STILL. I had to call to ensure food was on the way. Secondly, small portions. Thirdly, maybe the assumption is people ordering aren't Indian and don't know the difference with what they ordered but I sure as hell know the difference. Anyways, hard pass for me. read more

Very tasty and reasonably authentic cuisine. The sag dishes are all good and the tandoori prawns last night were excellent, as was the alloo paratha. read more

The food is awesome, so much depth of flavour. The prices are very reasonable. The house cocktails are something everyone should try. Could not believe how good they tasted and how much flavour they had, and super unique so don't be scared away by them. They sound unusual and they are, but a very good kind of unusual. read more

Spent a night in Fernie and happened upon this place. The smell was amazing from the moment we walked in. There were a number of outside tables, but our party of 3 decided to eat inside. We had the Kashmir naan- Delish! For dinner we had the mango chicken, which was tasty, but the chicken was dry. Had a lamb dish and a veggie which I can't remember the names of but both were very tasty. The only odd thing was no rice came with the food. We asked for some and the waitress brought us a huge bowl of fragrant basmati rice. All in all, a really good meal. read more

We enjoyed our meal here but wouldn't say it blew me out of the water. But we did try a few new things we hadn't before so maybe that was why I didn't love everything. The cheese naan was very yummy and we loved the potato dish we ordered. I would also say the butter chicken was yummy. The spinach beef dish we had was just ok, I got a bit of a bone or cartilage that turned me off. The madras curry chicken was ok but wouldn't order again. Service was good though. We did wait quite a while for our food. The restaurant itself could use a bit of paint and the washroom didn't look super clean to me (mainly the floor). I'd say this is a mixed review for me as I think my husband and his friend liked everything better than I did. read more

Been a while but this needs to be said and Fernie folk need to be aware. Last night we called ahead and made reservations. When we arrived we were told that it would be just a bit for our table. We waited 45 minutes just to get drinks brought to us and I had to get them to come to the table. There were 2 other tables asking for their food and wondering what was taking so long. After about an hour of waiting we were guided to a very small table right at the front door of the restaurant. We first sat down at a nicer larger table in the middle of the restaurant but were told it was reserved! We called and made reservations and nothing. So we continued to our little table and ate our dinner. I kept looking over at the big table that never had anyone sit at it. When our meals finally came out our friend never got his samosas. We all ate our appetizers he didn't get to enjoy his. I ordered an order of 1/2 tandoori chicken. I got something way different and was advised that they were out of chickens! They never told me they were out they just gave me what they thought would be a good substitute. I was hungry and just wanted to get out of there so I ate it. Almost finished my meal when I felt a crunch in my mouth. I put my finger in my mouth to find glass in my mouth! I spit out what I had and ran to the washroom to rinse my mouth out with water. When i returned to the table Carrie was showing Bobby more glass off my plate. So when it came to bill time my friend was charged for the samosas he never got, so after all this terrible experience they never even comped me for my dish that was wrong in the first place but had glass in they knocked 15 % off the bill! So folks if you plan on eating at The Himalayan Spice Hut prepared for bad service and surprises on your food. I used to promote this business a lot and quite enjoyed the food. Sidley I will never go back more recommend it to anyone ever again. read more

We cannot stay away from this place! Every time we come to Fernie.. we eat here. We even order extras to take home!! The food is fabulous. The owner and all the staff are very warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Indian food! read more

Good food (had lamb and a veggie dish and cheese naan). Reasonably priced and would certainly go back.

Disappointed. We have heard such good things and I wanted to love it but it just wasn't happening. Perhaps I've been spoiled with having great Indian food with living in a city and also haven been to India. I got the shahi korma. I ate MAYBE half. The carrots in it were a bit crunchy. I can't put my finger on how come I wasn't a fan but it wasn't doing it for me. I also ordered it medium and it had no spice at all. I got the garlic naan, which could have used a lot more garlic, but otherwise was cooked nicely. My family got the saffron rice, mango chicken, and tandoori chicken, and they felt their meal wasn't great either. Overall disappointed as it wasn't great. read more

Great food and good prices. The food is really good and spices and flavors are done well. We ordered medium spicy dishes and they had just the right amount of heat without becoming too much by meals end. read more

Excellent food. My butter chicken was delicious. My husband ' chicken vindaloo succulent and tasty. Awesome food, impeccable service, friendly and accommodating special diets. read more

Read the review of the person who ordered takeout and was disappointed. I can't believe this is the same place! I have been here three times and every time was amazing. Gluten free options are clearly labeled ( mostly everything on this menu is GF): Staff were extremely friendly and attentive. All dishes that were ordered were hot, flavourful and good portions. Butter chicken was to die for and so were the mixed veg pakora. Can't comment on the nann as I dint have any but my dining companions said it was. Dry good. read more

Enjoy the range of choices for vegetarians food was yumming and big portions, lovely presentation too, service was really nice and friendly

Had an awesome meal at Himalayan Spice Bistro, the decor could use some work, but the food was fantastic, and there was lots of it.

Second night in Canada and second great restaurant, this time in Fernie. The owner was very friendly and suggested I try the lamb Nilgiri which was unbelievably tasty. I ordered it medium spice level and the dish had just the right amount of after burn. My husband ordered the Mattar Mushroom which was also very good, Prices were very reasonable and most dishes could be ordered with either chicken, beef, lamb or shrimp. There was also an extensive vegetarian menu. Definitely would return next time we are in town. read more

Love their food! Super authentic. Literally lived on Bobby's restaurant for months . Wouldn't have had it any other way. Service is just as great as their food. Ask for the waitress with the American accent, she is the absolute best!! read more

The BEST place to eat curries in Fernie! Yummy!
