We drove by The Himalayan, saw the words "serving the flavor of the Himalayas" and decided we had to stop in. Unbeknownst to us, it was the first month of their opening. For how late it was, it was pretty busy! The staff was super great and accommodating. The menu looked fairly similar to Indian food, with some slight differences. We hopped in after 8pm, which is when they stopped serving the authentic Nepali food. Our server told us to come back during lunch and to get the Lunch Set combos. The ambiance was great. Smelled lovely. We were so hungry I forgot to take pictures until after we had eaten and the menus were gone. For appetizers, we got the Paneer Pakoda (deep fried cheese in a Chickpea batter) with a sweet and savory dipping sauce, and the Samosa Chaat, a potato and pea curry deep fried in a batter, smothered in a sour cream or Greek yogurt, red onions, herbs, spices, and the same sweet and savory sauce/chutney. Think loaded baked potato, but phenomenal flavors and great texture. Honestly probably my favorite. We got the chicken biryani to share. So delicious! It came with a wonderful raita sauce (similar to a tzaziki - yogurt based with cucumbers and herbs and spices). The flavor combos were out of this world delicious. We are definitely coming back during lunch to try more authentic Nepali food! read more
