Updated Review We…read morewent back to Himalayan Kitchen in Mountain View today because we had such a great experience during our first visit, especially with the Vijayawada Boneless Biryani. Unfortunately, today's experience was completely different and very disappointing. We ordered the Vijayawada Boneless Biryani and the Fry Piece Biryani. The boneless biryani was extremely spicy and had only about 6 pieces of chicken with a huge amount of gravy. This was nothing like the biryani we had during our first visit. We brought this to the person's attention while the food was right in front of him. Instead of acknowledging the issue, he initially told us that wasn't true. He eventually said sorry, but then told us they couldn't compensate us because the biryani was already over. We never even asked for compensation, so that response was especially upsetting and unnecessary. The Fry Piece Biryani was also very underwhelming. What makes this more disappointing is that we specifically came back because our first experience was so good. We genuinely loved the Vijayawada Boneless Biryani during our first visit and were excited to have it again. Unfortunately, the food quality was completely different this time, and the way our concern was handled made the experience even worse. I really hope the restaurant can be more consistent with the food and, more importantly, listen to customers when they point out a genuine issue.

We found Himalayan Magic Masala when we were looking for a late lunch around 3 PM and realized…read morealmost everywhere else was closed. They were one of the few places still open, and we're really glad we stopped in. The restaurant was quiet with only a couple of other tables, which made for a nice, relaxing lunch. Every dish tasted fresh and homemade, and the portions were huge for the price. Our favorite by far was the garbanzo bean roll. It was packed with flavor, and I'd honestly come back just for that. The Himalayan chicken was another winner. We ordered the dark meat, and it was incredibly juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked. We also tried the YYWAIWAI, a popular street food dish. It reminded me a little of chaat, but I was expecting more crunch. Ours was a little soft and soggy, so it's probably not something I'd order again. The only dish I'd skip is the garlic pesto naan. It was pretty flat, oily, and just didn't do much for us. Even with a couple of dishes that weren't our favorites, everything else was so good that we're already talking about coming back to explore more of the menu. It's always fun finding a spot that's a little off the beaten path, and this one definitely earned a return visit.

I was warmly greeted and my food arrived quickly. Wow! I was shocked at the first bite. The curries were sooo flavorful and the chicken in the butter chicken curry was so tender.

Surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet as we've been here multiple times…read more We love coming to this place not only for the food but the wonderful owners. This time, we got the potato cheese balls and the chicken curry combo platter. The combo is priced at $23 and gives you plenty of food such as the curry, lentils, spinach, rice, papadum, salad, another tomato based sauce, and funds it out with rice pudding. This combo platter is easily enough to feed two people or to have plenty of extras to take home. We asked for medium spicy but I think their mild mean no spicy, their medium means a hint of spicy, and their hot means normal spicy. Everything was perfectly seasoned. Each table is decorated nicely with a small pot of wild flowers created right there before dinner service. The owners are a family combo and check in with you throughout. They always serve with a smile. We love the decor in here and the large amount of plants, especially the climbing pothos stemming from the fountain in the center of the restaurant. I would say this is a great place to have a date or celebration and I'd encourage others to come.

The place was not very busy when we reached at 6. I personally loved the huge Ganesha idol at the entrance. We will definitely recommend the butter chicken and tandoori roti. Our kid loved the lassi.
