    Chicken Tikka Masala (photo taken after I started eating)
    Sara R.

    Very delicious, ordered 3 orders of chicken tikka masala (one spicy, they put green Chile peppers on top), 2 orders of garlic naan, 2 orders of tandoori naan, 2 orders of chicken samosas and 2 orders of veggie samosas. I had expected the 3 orders of chicken tikka masala to come with rice, it does at all the other places I've ordered from. Food was good. Chicken was definitely fresh and everything was yummy. $62 for 3 of us to eat and have leftovers. The gentleman was very friendly when I went to pick up. I saw they have a Sunday brunch buffet that I'm excited to try. My favorite Indian place in the area so far. I'll just have to remember to order rice in the future.

    This was a very odd lunch indeed. The food alone was the main reason for my four stars. I was meeting a friend for a 1:00 lunch and I walked into the restaurant at 12:45. My first reaction was "Oh my God, they aren't even open!" The big dining room was dark, the dining tables were naked, save for the tablecloths, and I didn't see one soul anywhere. No customers and no staff in sight. I walked toward the kitchen and shouted "Hello?" three times, each one louder than before. Finally, someone popped up and reassured me that they were indeed open for lunch. Well, that was good to know.... This was a definite foreshadowing of the service - because there were very long lapses several times - waiting to have our orders taken, and again -waiting for the check, when I had to walk back into the kitchen and ask for it. But now that the unpleasantness over that lackluster (that was my friend's word) service is all said and done, let's focus on the food which was excellent. We each had a naan, a side of rice, and a chicken dish. I went for the Palak Chicken and it was a very good mix of chicken and spinach in a sneaky hot curry ($11.50). My friend grew up in the UK, so Indian food is in her blood and she heartily approved of her Chicken Tikka Masala (also $11.50). The portions were generous, as were the rice and naans. By the way, I really like my Chili Garlic Naan ($3.45) for a big round flecked with green chilies. Our bill was $26 and change and we each took home half of our food. That made lunch an excellent value in both the quality and quantity departments. Bottom line, the food was excellent, and the service definitely has some improvement opportunities.

    Chana chaat

    Asia Darbar is a Indian/Pakistani restaurant that does catering. The restaurant is quite big and the servers are very friendly. There is parking in front of the restaurant. The ordering is a little weird since the servers cannot take it. Instead they have to ask for someone else from the back to take the orders (who I am presuming is the owner), so it can take a while. The food came out relatively quickly though. My friend and I had the chana chaat, kunna gosht, and goat pulao. The food is a bit spicier than traditional Pakistani food, but it was good. I enjoyed the chana chaat but it could be a little less spicy/sour. The goat pulao was mild tasting with pieces of goat (although their was more bone than meat). It was a relief from the other spicy food. The naan was amazing! It was nice and buttery, thin and slightly crispy. The best naan I had so far and my Pakistani friend agreed. There is complimentary salad with onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers to cool the heat. My friend also had a ras malai. Although it was small (one per order) it was good.

    Aloo Panak

    I can't believe I've driven by this placed and never noticed it all these years!!! It's quite a large space! My friend and I came here on a rainy Tuesday evening and for a while we were the only ones there until one sole diner came in a little while later. Service was great, as were the menu options. We tried the spicy samosas and they had a nice kick! We followed that with an order of chicken korma, aloo panak (spinach & potatoes) and we split (just as well as it was quite large) an order of vegetable biryani-also with a little kick! While we were not provided with the option of selecting the level of heat-we found the meals to be perfectly seasoned! A plate of red onion, tomato and cucumber was also provided. The garlic naan was delicious! Portions were great, food was tasty and prices were reasonable! Decor is sparse and plain but the food and service make up for it!

    MAKE SURE YOU ASK QUESTIONS WHEN YOU ORDER! FALSE ADVERTISING, does not come with rice.
    Sara K.

    FALSE ADVERTISING AND HORRIBLE SERVICE! I called to place my pick up order and they rushed me off the phone and hung up without taking my name or number. When we picked up our order and there was no rice with any of our food. When I asked for it she rudely said "why would you think rice comes with your meal?" When I mentioned the photo of chicken tikka with rice on their menu she said "no, there is no photo with chicken tikka with rice. It's an extra item that you pay for." She said that they always ask if you want rice... no one asked us because they rushed us off the phone. Then she told me I was LYING, they always ask "no matter what"... we were so mad we ended up just walking out. No intention of ever returning.

    Himalaya, a Himalayan/Nepalese restaurant in Berlin, has been on my radar for a while because of…read moreits high overall Yelp rating. We recently moved closer and I decided to try it for a work at home lunch day. I did no research before going. It turns out that Himalaya does not presently have a dine in option, which is fine because I live nearby. I walked in to look at the menu and order. I'm not sure if the person who helped me was having an off day, or maybe he's used to regular customers ordering ahead and didn't like having to change his routine, but he was not particularly welcoming. No smile or friendly greeting. I'm fairly sure that he rolled his eyes when I went to pay with cash. I don't know who this person was relative to the restaurant, but it didn't set a good tone. I ordered from the Lunch Specials. I ordered the Chicken Saag special which came with Basmati Rice and Naan. I don't remember the exact cost, but I remember being surprised at how inexpensive it was. Everything on the Lunch Special menu was inexpensive relative to places I frequent. I was told that it would be 10 minutes. I returned around 15 minutes later and my order was ready. All of the food was at least OK to pretty good, but didn't really pop for me. I'm much more familiar with Indian restaurants than I am with Nepalese and Himalayan restaurants, but some of the dishes share names. I'm not sure if there are seasoning and other variations in Indian versus Nepalese cuisine, or if any variations are more based upon the chefs cooking the meals. In any event, Himalaya's version of both the Saag and the chicken in the Saag were different than I'm used to. I prefer the way the Saag is seasoned in my favorite Indian places in CT. I feel like the chicken in most Indian restaurants is kebab style and is cooked in a tandoori oven. Himalaya's chicken had a rougher texture and seemed like it was perhaps roasted. It was pretty good, but probably my least favorite Saag dish I've had in a while. The Basmati rice was fine. The naan was OK. The texture and flavor didn't measure up to my favorite Indian restaurants. I have multiple nearby Indian restaurants that I prefer to Himalaya. In light of that and my less than positive service experience, I'm unlikely to return to Himalaya. However, given Himalaya's strong overall rating, it's clear that others have had good experiences and maybe you'll have better luck than I did. And as I said, the lunch specials are a good value. 3 Stars
