I ordered food today. I had never eaten there before, but several people have told me how amazing it is. I'm kind of a creature of habit, so even with all the recommendations, I just never went. Today I decided to finally try it since I was just getting food for myself. I ordered the butter chicken because it had the best reviews, along with garlic naan. It also came with rice. They asked how spicy I wanted it, and I said medium. OMG. I cannot believe how spicy their "medium" is! It was VERY spicy but still delicious. The vegetable samosas were AMAZING. They also included two dipping sauces, I assumed they were for the samosas. Either way, the sauces were delicious. The garlic naan was delicious. The rice was delicious. The butter chicken was delicious. Literally everything was SO GOOD. It was about $33 & could easily have been shared between two people. 10/10 read more

Soooo delicious!! Was brought here for Mother's Day, and I was so excited to eat! The food was so good, portions were perfect, and the service was even better! We ordered: - Spicy Naan - Garlic Naan - Plain Naan - Rice - Lamb Sukha (spicy) - Saag Aloo - Vegetable Samosa - Shrimp Tikka Masala (spicy) - Butter Chicken - Mango Lassi for the kids - Taj Mahal 22.oz beer ALL OF THE FOOD WAS MORE THAT PERFECT! The spicy food was sooo soooo good, we had a decent amount of leftovers to take home. Everyone was so kind in there, and very attentive! When we go back, we definitely need to see if we can sit at a larger table so we can order more food I can't wait to go back! read more

Himalayan Taste - Taj Mahal 22oz. - Indian Near Me - Menifee, California

See all

Tandoori and Naan are cooked in a CLAY TANDOOR OVEN at this location. Most entries are served with a complimentary bowl of Basmati rice that is fragrant with spices (cloves can be found). The food feels like a home cook meal and I was told from Northern India province. This was definitely not an Americanized India fusion nor anything served in any India California buffets and definitely a level above it. ========= Tandoori are served on Sizzling Platters and placed on top of sauté vegetables (onion, bell peppers with spices) that are pre-marinated for hours. A lemon wedge is provided to squeeze additional citrus flavoring to the meats. The spices in the tandoori meats were well embedded that I could smell/taste the spices hours after eating as well as the next day upon reheating leftovers. 21. LAMB CHOPS (RACK OF LAMB / 5 PCS) Pre-marinated lamb with each leg cut and blacken char in the clay oven. It was cooked to well so a bit dry/over done for me. However, I was told the meats can be cooked to any wellness a customer prefer. If you want medium make sure to specify upon ordering. It came with a paste made from fresh mint/cilantro to help with gamey taste associated with lamb. 16. CHICKEN TANDOORI Bone in chicken thigh/drumsticks pre-marinated with spices. Additional hot spice paste can be requested, but I ask to put on the side. It was cooked well done, so could be juicer if cooked less. A side of marsala could also help with the dryness of the meat. ========= Boneless cubed meat are slow braised in India spice sauces: 61. LAMB ROGAN JOSH ** Delicious in flavoring ** Braised cube boneless lamb in a stewed tomato sauce filled with India aromatic spices (onion, garlic, India spices: black cardamom, cumin, cloves, etc). It's similar to saltness of a rustic tomato cacciatore sauce but w/ India spices. 60. LAMB KORMA Wanting to compare it to Al-Noor (Pakistan) in Inglewood is Spicy, Salty, Tangy, the taste was a total opposite to a Sweet Floral Nutty and Creamy (Himalayan is India). In the usa, most restaurants are called India to make it simple for non-India customers. The flavor is different because these are two different cultures/regions but use the same name Lamb Korma. Although I could taste the cashews, it was more bland in comparison to the Rogan Josh and other Korma I've tried elsewhere. I did not add additional hot spice. All the sauces come in the same dish and fits in a 24oz plastic container including the rice. Meats are cubed and seem to be about 4 oz of meat on my 1st visit. ============ Garlic Naan is at ala carte prices and not complimentary. It had garlic with cilantro flakes. It was OK but not as buttery as Al Noor. However, this restaurant's Basmati rice had more flavor than the Naan to go well with their dishes/tandoori. Restaurant is small café style, it's can hold a party of 6 per table. Bottle wine or glass is available to purchase besides beer and soda. It does get busy after 5pm and parking does get tight since it shares it with other eating establishment. For quieter setting, go before the dinner crowd. Staff is friendly and nice. During my visit, many of patrons (are not India) and happy/eager to experience a place with exposure to dishes that provided different blend of spices. Service/experience and attentiveness was much better the 2nd time around that I look forward to trying a new dish on my next visit. read more

Got there 1 hour before closing. Got the impression to do to go instead of dine in. Got lamb biryani, samosa, mango lassi & butter chicken. Still give 5 stars. We live near but I think we would rather drive far to Mantra or even farther Spice World in Corona. Try Rasoi in Menifee next time. Have a nice day! read more

The food is 10/10. The service is 10/10. We love coming here. The employees are kind and so helpful with any questions and recommendations.

Good spot for Indian food. All the dishes we ordered were flavored nicely, good spice levels. I highly recommend the chicken tandoori and chicken tikka masala. I was interested in the chili chicken but I wasn't sure about the spice levels and it has tomatoes. The spicy chilli naan was spiccceyyyy. I did feel like the naan wasn't fresh and had been sitting a while but our other meals felt like they were made to order. We ordered online for pickup and it took about half an hour staff was efficient and provided the proper containers. read more

Again a first time dinning experience at a new restaurant here in Menifee California Have not eaten any Indian food for the past 30 years. I don't remember it being this spicy still it was not overwhelmingly hot but it has a kick to it probably the curry The server was kind enough to bring some yogurt sauce which cut the spiciness down for me. Plenty of rice and so much food I had to take home almost half of it. Worth the $17 price as it was good quality and quantity too. As Arnie says I'll be back read more

This place was amazing and I am looking forward to going back. What I loved about it is so many Indian restaurants are so heavy on the spices all the dishes start tasting the same. From the Garlic Naan that was cooked to perfection light not dense. The Shrimp Curry cooked with its warm turmeric cream based sauce. The Aloo Gobi with its rich tomato based sauce with Himalayan spices, potatoes, and cauliflower. Veggie Momos with this amazing spicy tomato and Serrano sauce with garlic, cilantro and lots of spices like Turmeric. This place made my taste buds dance. I highly recommend great service, generous portions enough to take home for later. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. read more

Had #26 to go. Was recommended by the waiter the last time I came here and vowed to try it next. It did not disappoint. I loved that it had everything in it that I love. Potato, zucchini, the taste of raisin exploding in my mouth. So delicious. One meal usually lasts me for 2 sittings. I also picked up some garlic naan. My fav. read more

Saw this while cruising down the street. Looks like they barely opened up not too long ago so I wanted to give them a try since there are not too many Indian restaurants near Menifee. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala with rice (Medium Spice Level) and Garlic Naan. Naan is oven-baked flat bread. It's like eating a freshly made tortilla. The flavor was absolutely delicious! I think next time I want to try this again but spicier. Expect to pay $15-20 on average here. The price is just right. When I first walked in, I felt they're confused and didn't say hi within a few seconds. Later they provided with great service. There was always someone checking in on how I was doing and offered more water and rice. The atmosphere is really chill with low ambient lighting. For the most part the restaurant looked very clean and spotless. I will come again soon to try a different dish. read more

Food is plentiful and delicious, sizzling lamb tandoori with vegetables, chicken curry, rice and Naan garlic bread were all perfect, generous potions. Service was attentive to our needs. Also offering wonderful plastic containers with tight lids for our leftovers to bring home. Checked in about 3:30pm on a Friday to beat the crowds, loved that it is a small quaint restaurant here in Menifee, noise level was low, easy to have conversation, all in all a great experience. Definitely recommend giving Himalayan Taste a try! read more

Himalayan Taste - Lentil soup, amazing, fresh bread, and of course they're traditional yogurt - Indian Near Me - Menifee, California

Went with the wife for Dinner. Everything was delicious . It is pretty new to Menifee but I was excited to try it. I finally made the jump because my brother also recommended it. The ambiance is clean and quiet for being in a strip mall. The service was great, they were friendly, fast and although the meal took awhile to come out from the kitchen it was all hot and fresh and still didnt take that long at all. The mango chicken is absolutely delicous, had it medium spicy and it was so good. Walked away suffed and wanting more. Cant wait to get take out next time. My new go to. read more

The smell entering the place was amazing, the set up was clean. The service was good and the food was flavorful. Chicken was a bit tough but the flavors made up for it. Portions were ok but im used to buffet style or family style dining experience with this kind of food because its so flavorful and good I would love a variety! We also ended up all getting the same thing because we didnt know the names of the foods we usually eat because there are no pictures on the menu so we didnt want to experiment we were hungry! My only gripe and thats just because its not what I usually eat it wasnt a family style plate so we couldn't try a bunch of stuff. Thats just my preference read more

I took this to go, and it was packed and traveled well. Food was delicious. Really glad to have Indian food in the area, and a solid spot at that. That momo sauce was so good. The portions are large, but not overdone, and not at the cost of quality. The chicken tika masala was perfect, with a rich, flavorful sauce. Man it's so good. I'm eating more as I write this. The lamb josh rogan was warm and cozy, added some spice to really seal the deal - the lamb was so tender. Saag paneer was amazing, also rich and creamy. The aromatic basmati rice and buttery garlic naan really tied the whole thing together. Looking forward to trying our other items on the menu! read more

We did a delivery order. Everything came hot and fresh: large portion sizes. Fed us for two days. We recently were on NCL and noticed the captains eating the Indian food in the buffet. We gave it a go and holy cow. Delicious and got our toes wet introducing different types of Indian food that was more than just curry. Got back home and this was the first meal we had off the ship. Looking forward to going back. read more

We'd been waiting forever for this new Himalayan spot to open, and one day my hubby drove by and saw the doors finally open--we had to check it out! The host greeted us warmly and sat us right away. The place wasn't too busy, which makes sense since they just opened. You can tell they're still getting organized, but honestly, the service needs some work. Our waiter never really checked on us, and when we were ready to leave, we had to flag him down just to get the check. The vibe is okay but could use a little help--mainly better lighting at the tables so you can actually read the menu. Now the food... that's where they shine! I had the Lamb Tikka Masala Curry with garlic naan and it was excellent--rich flavor and perfectly cooked. My hubby got the Chicken Tandoori grill with rice and he enjoyed his too. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Overall, the food is worth coming for, but don't expect great service (at least not yet). Hopefully once they get into a groove, the experience will match the quality of the food. read more

Himalayan Taste - Lamb Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Menifee, California

Called in my order. The man taking my order was very nice and asked me the spicy level for my food. I asked if there were combo options and unfortunately, there aren't :( so I ordered garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, chicken korma-both came with rice & mango lassi (so delicious I had to fight myself not to drink it before the pictures/review lol). I arrived and again very nice customer service. Ambiance seemed intimate & comfortable. I loved that they wrapped the dishes in plastic wrap to avoid spilling. The containers were in a paper bag and a plastic bag. Garlic naan had 4 decent sized pieces. Food was hot when I picked it up (temperature wise) & absolutely delicious! Will be going back & def do recommend. read more

Absolutely delicious! Himalayan Taste in Menifee is so yummy and truly authentic - just as good as I remember the Indian food my college classmates' parents used to make. Every bite brought back those comforting, home-cooked flavors. We naan-stop talked about how good it was! The service was also excellent. Assama (hope I'm spelling that right!) was incredibly kind and gave us spot-on recommendations. She really curry-ed us in the best direction! Hah We went with the classics: chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, and garlic naan, which came with basmati rice. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Portions looked small, but were actually generous! Enough for two very hungry people with leftovers to take home. & the prices were very reasonable! We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

Had a chance to try this place out recently and it was very good. The one thing that stood out for this place is they seem to use very good quality white meat chicken. I've only had the butter chicken and the chicken tika masala and both were impressive. Only had to go for the meal so I'll have to try sitting down there to see if they merit the 5th star. read more

Couldn't get enough. Just had to come back a few days later for more of their Chicken Tikka Masala. This time I tried also their Mango Chicken, which was also excellent. Can't decide which one I like better. But for sure, this is one of the best Indian food I've had. They are not shy with food portions either. Service is great. All the staff were attentive, friendly and polite. Aside from the food and servers, the manager was just as wonderfully pleasant.
