    Beautiful decor
    Debbie K.

    This restaurant always delivers wonderful service and food. After being on the beach today my husband said....i could really look forward to the mushroom soup at Monsoon. From the minute you walk in we are transported to the Himalayans. The decor is welcoming and peaceful. Im vegan so it's great to have so many options. We love both soups.(lentil is vegan) ...appetizers...and the meal. My husband is a meat eater and loves his choices. I love the coconut curry vegetables. The service is amazing...love the owner....she is so nice. Wonderful time at this beautiful restaurant.

    Chicken curry combination
    Megan Y.

    A great spot for Himalayan food that hits the spot and has great value, too. We came right when they opened on a Sunday and each got our own combinations with curries and split an order of chicken momos. Everything was delicious, especially in the combos. I preferred the chicken curry over the lamb but both had tons of meat and everything was seasoned perfectly--not too salty, which is a rare find with me. It's mainly one woman leading the show up front who's very kind but sometimes can get busy when more tables start filling up so we did have empty water cups for a while, but didn't take away from the overall experience.

    Decent Nepali place in the downtown half moon Bay Area. The grilled lamb sekuwa with salad was really good but the chicken momos and chicken chowmein were strictly ok! They were extremely busy with full crowd but service was still good.

    Amazing restaurant! Loved the ambiance, food(especially momo dressing for dumpling), staff/owner were super super friendly. Really can't ask for more. Probably one of the best restaurants I've visited in the past couple of years.

    Good food and nice people. We tried a few different dishes and everything was flavorful and fresh!

    Shrimp tandoori
    Sierra H.

    Came here after a long hike at Half Moon Bay and it was the perfect post-hike meal. We ordered the mango lassi, aloo paratha, shrimp tandoori, and Himalayan chicken curry. The shrimp was tasty but a little overcooked. We liked the vegetable curry that the plate came with though. The Himalayan chicken curry was steaming hot when it came out and packed with spices and flavor. The food took a bit to come out but it was well worth the wait. There's a small section where they sell local goods in the restaurant and the whole place has a great ambiance. Would definitely come again if in the area!

    Chicken momos
    Carmel P.

    My husband is Nepali and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Monsoon. This is a cute little family-operated restaurant with plenty of menu items to choose from. For drinks, we got two of their Monsoon cocktails - Basanta and Barkha. Both delicious, reasonably priced, and tasted exactly as described on the menu. The Mango Lassi was great too. For food, we ordered 4 plates of Chicken Momos, as well as the Chicken Sekuwa. This was the perfect amount of food to feed me, my husband, and our 5 and 1 year old. The momos were good but the Sekuwa was my absolute favourite. Such a simple dish but packed with flavour, both the chicken and the veggies that came with it. 10/10 recommend We've been here twice already and this is definitely our go-to spot from now on whenever we're in Half Moon Bay.

    Potato and cheese balls and veggie momo
    Elana B.

    Tbh I think we came on an off night. All four of us walked away from this meal feeling very indifferent about what we ate. The momos were kind of dry. There was a spice in all of the dishes that personally didn't sit well with me. I brought home my leftover chicken momo but ended up just tossing it because it wasn't as good as I hoped. The reviews made this place seem fabulous so I'm hoping we were visiting on a bad day.

    This is the flavor I'm liking for when I want a chicken tikka masala. The chicken pieces could be…read moremore tender, but they've got the right balance of cream, sweet, and spice. Even their plain naan works quite well with the curry. It's not as soft or fluffy as other places, but the flavor works well when eaten with the curry. I do like that they allow you to adjust the spice for curries and biryanis. The lamb in the lamb biryani was tender and didn't taste too gamey. And I found the addition of tamarind to be interesting, just be careful while eating because they've still got their pits. The samosa chaat was interesting with the use of apples, but I probably wouldn't get it again. This is probably my favorite spot if I am looking for Indian style curry.

I also enjoyed the Sichuan stir-fry noodles, though the portion of chicken was a bit sparse. The masala chai fell short for me, it could have used a stronger spice profile. The butter chicken was just okay and didn't really stand out, with only a few pieces of chicken. The garlic naan and butter naan were also underwhelming, I was hoping for something thicker and more garlicky. Overall, the momos are a must-order and definitely the highlight. Service was solid throughout!!

Usually the options are not very appetizing, so when I saw Aroma House on the list today I was not very hopeful. Nevertheless, I ordered the lamb korma and figured it would be edible and nothing more. I cannot accurately state wrong I was. I was absolutely blown away on the first bite. Not only was it by far the best restaurant my company has ever given us the option to order from, it was without question the best lamb I've ever eaten. The lamb fully melted, just cooked to perfection, and the korma itself was creamy and flavorful, perfectly warm spices without being hot. I also ordered the cheese naan, which on top of being equally flavorful was also huge. This was not only delicious but very helpful because when ordering I did not realize I had to order rice on the side. But that's my fault, not the fault of Aroma House. I will definitely be taking a trip to Redwood City to eat here in person, as well as letting my company know that I would love if they could offer Aroma House as a lunch option again in the future.

It tastes exactly like the vibrant street food you'd find in Kathmandu or Darjeeling. The Standouts: * Veg Steamed Momos: These are perfection. The dough is rolled thin enough to be delicate but strong enough to hold the generous filling. The vegetable mix inside is finely minced, juicy, and seasoned with that distinct ginger-garlic punch. * The "Momo Achar" (Dipping Sauce): You can't talk about these momos without the sauce. It's a spicy, roasted tomato and sesame chutney that provides the perfect acidic kick to the savory dumplings. * Street Style Chow Mein: This is a nostalgia trip in a bowl. It's got that high-heat "wok hei" (breath of the wok) flavor--smoky, savory, and slightly oily in the best way possible. The noodles have a great bite, tossed with crunchy cabbage, carrots, and onions. This is the ultimate comfort meal. Fast, fresh, and bursting with authentic spices. I absolutely love it!
