If you are looking for incredible, authentic flavors served up fast in a pristine environment,…read moreHimalayan House is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk under the welcoming sign inside you can tell this place is cared for. It is a beautifully maintained, smaller restaurant that maximizes its space perfectly. The dining area is incredibly clean, cozy, and bright, featuring crisp tablecloths and an awesome "Save the Himalayas" wall mural that adds a great touch of character to the room. The service here is incredibly fast and attentive. We barely had to wait at all before our table was filled with fresh, steaming dishes. The food is where this place truly shines. Everything we ordered was packed with vibrant, well-balanced spices. Appetizers: We started with a perfectly crispy fried pakora/fritter served with sweet and tangy dipping sauces which set a high bar for the rest of the meal. The Momos: You absolutely cannot leave without trying their momos. They are perfectly doughy, juicy, and paired with an addictive orange chutney. We couldn't get enough of them. For the main course, the traditional metal thali tray offered a spectacular variety of flavors. Between the spiced chicken, seasoned potatoes, savory chickpea mixture, and beaten rice, every single component on the plate was an absolute hit. Small, clean, lightning-fast service, and exceptionally great food. Himalayan House hits all the right notes for a perfect casual lunch or dinner. I will definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu!

We just wanted a small snack and since there was no line at the time, we asked the server about some of the menu items that were unfamiliar to us. She was very helpful, and we ordered a gluten free bara with chicken, described as a pancake made of lentil flour, topped with meat. There was no line but our snack took longer than I expected given the "pancake" description, more than 15 minutes. Also, they were denser and more oily/fried than I expected, but were very tasty. The chicken topping was well-seasoned and delicious. The sauce that came with it was good, and we asked for some hot pepper sauce, which worked well with it. We'll definitely be back to try more - everything looked good.

The restaurant has nice decor and a promising selection of menu items, but the execution of the traditional dishes fell short of my expectations. The Highlights: Timmur Chicken Wings: Absolutely amazing. The flavor profile was excellent and easily the best part of the meal.The Disappointments: Thukpa: I have very fond memories of this dish, but this version was highly disappointing. They altered standard ingredients and added fish oil, which is definitely not characteristic of traditional Nepali Thukpa. Momo: While the dumplings themselves were okay, they were let down by the sauce. What makes a Nepali momo superior is the specific, vibrant momo sauce (achar), but the sauce served here looked and tasted like a generic, store-bought version. Overall Verdict:While the menu features an appealing variety, the execution misses the mark on authentic Nepali cuisine. It has great potential, but they need to stick to their authentic basics.

However, by the time we left they were packed, and everyone there enjoyed the bright atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, and delicious food. We tried several dishes--we got the fried chili buff momos. I will definitely get. Them again, but steamed. Honestly, I think that I could make an entire meal of momos. We got veggie samosas--standard--crisp, plump, a little salty, and good. We also got a creamy chicken dish and an okra (bhindi) dish. Both were very good. The service was exemplary--there was a team of four or five dedicated staff who rotated through with dishes and takeaways. Oh! I almost forgot the garlic naan--some of the best I have had. Definitely stop in and give this place some love!!

They tried to tone down some of the dishes as the hubster is a non-spicy person. The stuff still spicy , he stayed away from. We ordered a meal set for two to try a little bit of everything. We aren't experts in this type of cuisine, but there wasn't anything we didn't like. With the meal for 2 plus a side order of naan, we ended up making 2 lunch take out plates for us. I wasn't super hungry so that probably resulted in us taking more home. It was great, quiet and we'd come here again!

They were incredibly…read morekind and accommodating, fitting us in with a last-minute reservation -- but I highly recommend booking at least a few days in advance. This is an intimate BYOB spot, and it was completely packed when we arrived. The atmosphere feels cozy and authentic -- the kind of place where you know care goes into both the food and the hospitality. We ordered the chickpeas, cauliflower, and a mango lassi. One thing we really appreciated: they asked us what spice level we preferred. My wife doesn't like spicy food, and they thoughtfully prepared everything mild for us without sacrificing flavor. The chickpeas were outstanding -- rich, well-seasoned, and deeply satisfying. The cauliflower wasn't quite to my personal taste, but it was well prepared. And the mango lassi? Absolutely amazing -- creamy, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. Portions were generous, and the service was prompt and genuinely excellent throughout the evening. If you're in Lancaster and enjoy flavorful Himalayan and Indian cuisine in a cozy BYOB setting, this place is definitely worth a visit -- just plan ahead and make that reservation.

I called them just to ensure if they are open and that they had the Nepali thali as I had never had that before. I have been watching a couple of food bloggers and they raved about Nepali food. As I walked in the manager immediately asked if I was the one who called earlier. The ambiance is good. They had a TV to watch FIFA World Cup too. He had already prepared the Nepali Thai set as we had spoked on the phone about it. I also wanted to try an authentic appetizer. So he recommended the pork sekuva which fried pork with their seasoning which was perfectly tender and well seasoned and comes with onions and peppers. Highly recommend it. The thali was one of the best meals I have had from the south Asian region. Simple looking food yet so delicious. I couldn't pick a favorite from the thali. Highly recommend trying the goat protein for the thali. My only issue was that they should include one roti as part of the thali or serve more rice. The rice wasn't enough to devour all the delicious curries they served on the thali.

The spice level here was pretty high for me, and I do well with spice. But that didn't stop me from eating the delicious Momo's. The Momo casing wasn't too thick or thin and the filling inside was pretty good. Flavorful and cooked just right. I also had their fried chicken here as well (From Krispy Crunchy Chicken). The chicken was really good. Super juicy and tender. Seasoning was actually on both the inside and outside of the chicken, so it was really flavorful. Service was good. Staff were friendly and the food came out within a reasonable time. Since this is in a gas station, there is somewhat limited seating. So I've seen mostly take-away orders coming out of here. Overall, 4/5. Great tasting Momo's and the Fried Chicken is definitely highly recommended as well.

For the 7 that decided to go family-style, we shared: - Nepali Himalayan noodles with egg and vegetables (so good that we got a second round!); - Nepali Himalayan chicken fried rice (another table favorite!); and - 5 momo orders (goat, chicken x3, and shrimp) all of which were tasty, though personally I liked the savory ones more than the sweeter (e.g., the chicken tika momo) and the chicken and shrimp more than the goat, which had great flavor but was tougher than the others). We had one diner in our group who didn't love spicy food, so we stayed at a level 2 for most dishes. We did get the goat at a level-4 and it wasn't that spicy. Would definitely level up next time, depending who came along! A few diners got Mango Lassis, which were thick and delicious. Service was good and it seemed like the restaurant was also churning out take-out orders. Can't wait to go back!

We ordered chili chicken, biryani, and two orders of momos, and the biryani "for two" honestly could have fed four people. Even after all three of us ate, we still had enough leftovers for two or three full meals. Overall, really good food, generous portions, and a great value. Glad we gave this place a try.

Immediately made a reservation for dinner, though it turned out that the restaurant had lots of empty seats (at 7:30-8:30pm). The dishes I tried: 1. Complimentary Sel Roti: fried rice flour "bagel". Crispy outside, sticky and soft and sweet inside. It was served with some Mula Achar (pickled radishes), whcih was too salty for me. 2. Roti: Feels like it is not whole wheat, unlike the rotis in many Indian restaurants. 3. Roasted Yak: I asked for rare and the restaurant did a good job. The meat was lean but very tender. A little bit gamy which was what I look for. It was served with brown and red sauces; both sauces were spicy, while the red was also slightly sweet. 4. Goat Bhutan: Basically fried goat intestine, goat stomach and goat liver, served with raw tomatoes, onions and puffed rice. Mostly crispy, like it was shallow-fried. The organs were delicious but too oily for me. 5. Brussels sprouts: It was said to be pan-fried but looked like roasted. Savory and sweet. Service was good and quick. Overall, if you like game meats and/or Nepali food you should try this restaurant.
