I've driven past Himalayan Kitchen for years and finally decided to stop in after wondering what…read morekind of food they served. The outside of the building shows its age with some faded menu advertisements, but once inside the restaurant opens up more than I expected. At first it feels small, but past the bar there's a comfortable-sized dining room. Every TV was tuned to the World Cup, which gave the restaurant a fun, energetic atmosphere during my visit. Service was prompt and friendly. My waiter recommended the pork for the momo dumplings and also suggested pairing the meal with one of their Himalayan beers. After reading several Yelp reviews, I ordered the sizzling pork momo, naan, and chicken vindaloo. I also took the beer recommendation, which ended up being a good decision considering I ordered the vindaloo at a 4 out of 5 spice level. The sizzling momo was the standout of the meal. The dumplings were excellent, and the accompanying sauce was flavorful enough that I found myself dipping almost everything into it. The basmati rice was perfectly cooked, and the chicken vindaloo had a nice level of heat without overwhelming the other flavors. The chicken itself was tender and cooked well. Portions were generous, and I ended up with more food than I could comfortably finish by myself. Overall, this was a great first visit. Next time I'll bring my wife so we can share a few different dishes and explore more of the menu.

Sometimes trying Indian food I get overwhelmed bc I don't know what everything is. She did not steer us wrong! We had the lamb momo, chicken special, and the sizzling grill. Lots of protein and great flavor! I wish we lived here and we could come back! Also their Himalayan beer was good to pair with the heat of the food

I ordered as usual first thing my beloved pani puri and a goat dish. You order at the counter and grab a table. They bring the food to your table. After a nice chat with the people up front I got my food. I loved the pani puri! And the goat is even better! I decided to try one more thing which is the chicken tika I think sandwich. It was good but overwhelming. Too many flavors going on at once. Or I was just already full! Then the place started getting packed! Indian families which makes me happy to sit and people watch It was a great experience even though the restaurant is more like cafeteria style. I will definitely be back!

However the service was ok simply because I had to ask the server to clean the booth it had water and drinks spilled all over it. He cleaned my side and didn't clean the other side. Until my friend came and got gum stuck to her pants. I get it this is unusual and very disrespectful from the previous diners but still I think it is the waiter responsibility to clean the table and booth after each customer. They were very apologetic and honestly didn't know how to make up for it It is always a fun experience going to this restaurant. Specially they have the cane sugar juicing machine. We ordered it and half of the restaurant was standing there watching them make it Also I tried a new style of biryani Gongura biryani it was delicious.

If they had aloo chana chaat with yogurt this would be the only Indian restaurant I go to locally. We were originally going to go to Mare e Monte but the line was too long and we all were simultaneously craving Indian cuisine. This happened to be right next door. Ambiance is more like a family restaurant so definitely expect kids and multiple family affairs but the noise levels didn't take us away from how excellent the food was !! If it matters to you they do serve water with water bottles. I personally love a nice iced cup of water esp to help refresh my mouth from the spices. that would be my only ding and that's nitpicking. Service was very good to us!

Their chai was also so, so good--definitely a standout. I've been searching for great Indian food in San Antonio, and I'm so glad to say I've finally found my favorite so far in terms of taste and flavor.
