Amazing! From the complimentary Dal soup to the fresh Veg Momos, Himalayan Vegetable Soup, and the Mango Lassi. 5/5. Both front and the kitchen staff were very friendly and accommodating. The ambience, decor and the location is stunning!

It is interesting when I search the keyword Himalaya on yelp, it pops more than 10 restaurants within 10 miles. Not all of them have the word, but most have. Why so many India /Nepal/Tibet restaurants around here?

Finding parking during lunch can be tough here but you can always do street parking. You can order ahead of time even with a group reservation. Lunch special is reasonably priced. Chicken masala with Saag Aloo is flavorful and good portion size. The staff is friendly too.

There’s so many options on the menu that there’s pretty much something that everyone could enjoy even the pickiest of people. The inside decoration and music makes you forget you’re eating next to a cvs in California, you really feel like you’re transported. The staff makes sure you’re comfortable with your meal, letting you know what specifically to expect and making sure you have no allergies or bad spice tolerance. This is a great hidden gem in SD.

It felt that it will be very expensive. It looks very fine dining. Workers no uniform or well dressed. i don’t mind. I care about the quality of the food.

I am so excited to have the Taste of the Himalayas in my own neighborhood! My roommate has brought home takeout from this location before, and tonight I brought my visiting family there for dinner. The space is small as usual, the decor a little odd at this location. Thankfully it was not crowded at 6:30pm on a Thursday, so we were seated right away. We ordered four dishes, one side of momo, and two naan to share. All five of us were stuffed, and I have lunch packed for tomorrow. Staff was wonderful, attentive, and friendly. Happy I got to introduce my parents to some of my favourite fare so close to home!

Hidden in the corner of the Renaissance shopping center. Nicely decorated and comfortable. Outside seating also available. Prices reasonable. Had the salmon salad and the plate was full with a good amount on heated and flavorful salmon. Dressing was delicious too. Other dishes are similar to Thai etc. I highly recommend you visiting this restaurant.

Very good. Dal Tadka was flavorful but had a little too much salt. Table behind me said food had too much salt as well. The garlic naan was also well done but was a little thin. Price was reasonable.
