    39. Chicken Tikka Masala
    Alana F.

    I rarely crave Indian food but now that I've tried Himalayan Bistro, consider me obsessed! This place is tucked away in a strip mall and while unassuming, has great seating and even more incredible food. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala and my friend got the Butter Chicken, both with basmati rice. We also split the garlic cilantro naan and the cheese and garlic naan (it's naan STUFFED with mozzarella cheese -- am I dreaming?!) The flavors were to die for and our entrees came with lentil soup which was a nice surprise. Staff was incredibly friendly and gracious and made us feel welcomed. We'll definitely be back!

    We catered dinner from here for a work gathering a few weeks back. It was really easy working with them and everyone was very pleased with the food. Some standout dishes are the lamb curry, veggie pakora and the butter chicken. Definitely check it out!!

    31. Chicken Curry
    Yadi E.

    $20 for a chicken curry but the portion was decent! I got 2 meals out of it, with the rice of course. I ordered a 10 spice level and it did rock me a bit, just how I like it hehe I ordered take out but the service was quick in the 10 mins it took me to pick up. It was an evening so the parking was a bit tough, unfortunately the lot is narrow and can get crowded.

    41. Chicken Korma
    Justine H.

    Mango lassi is something I need in my life everyday! So refreshing and light to have with our meal. Momos were bite sized nuggets of joy and I really enjoyed the lamb skewers. Garlic cheese naan too were soft and buttery out of the oven. Lots is seating inside and service comes out quick. I wish it was closer to the freeway but you'll have to drive inland a little bit.

    Ordering desk, take outs.

    Our daughter's Birthday dinner was at the often visited Himalayan Bistro in Oceanside. We always have a nice meal here, with a large menu to choose from. My family seems to stick to their favorites, but I tried the Momo in a wonderful sauce. Lamb and spices in a "pouch", in sauce. I loved them. Other family favorites include Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Marsala, and Shrimp Korma. I love their Garlic Naan, my family prefers the Basmati rice with their entrees. Service is great, and the servers know the menu well for suggestions. The restaurant is small, decorated with Himalayan photos and decorations. We love going there. They have another restaurant in Murrieta now. Both restaurants are family operated. We will be visiting both often.

    Lamb Tandoori, chicken korma, vegetable momo (all super tasty!!)
    Jana H.

    Super place to get super Himalayan food! Price is reasonable, options are plentiful, and food is delicious. They also have really good lunch specials. Two of us shared vegetable monos (had leftovers!), lamb tandoori, and chicken korma. Everything was cooked to perfection with excellent flavors. I would absolutely go again and get the same thing or mix it up. I don't think you can go wrong!

    Megan H.

    I ordered 2 chicken chow mein. I was absolutely blown away and cannot wait to try more stuff from this restaurant. Amazing prices and a very friendly staff. I even ordered it as take out and they took an extra step to wrap it in foil so it stayed hot! That is true top restaurant service they know what they're doing here!

    AMAZING I love everything about this place and wish I lived nearby to come more often. The people are so nice and the decor is super cool. The food is DELICIOUS and came out pretty quick! The dishes that the food were served in were gorgeous. Everything was fairly priced as well, $50 for two entrees, an appetizer and a side, as well as a free lentil soup starter. Next time I'm in Oceanside I will be coming here again!!

They also did a nice little renovation from the little coffee shop that had been there for years.

We'll probably go for the boneless lamb dishes next time. We also had the Achari Chicken, which was tasty. Both were enough to take a small amount home, which we appreciated. Be sure to order the coconut nan, it was incredible!! Service was friendly and well-paced. They use beautifully decorated metal serving bowls which was a nice touch. Family-owned, great service, we'll definitely be back to try the lunch specials!

When I go to a new restraint, I always ask their standards and recommendations. I like spicy but I have learned that each cultural food on the spicy level can be 180 different. We ordered two dishes: vg korma no spicy and chicken choila spicy level 4, which was recommended by their server. This place has good amounts of vegetarians options. My partner opted for vegetable korma, which is slightly sweet but the food is flavorful for us. I am not a vegetarian but I definitely like this dish. Chicken choila is so powering, flavorful, and tasty. I am not a fan of chicken breast but the chef did an amazing job on keeping the meat juicy not dry. It has a lot species and ginger in this dish. The chef I believe came out from the kitchen talking to us at the end. He explained this dish is a modified. The original from Nepel is fire roasted buffalo meat (If I dont remember wrong) and is very spicy. I really appreciate he explained it. The portion is very generous. I ate half of the dish and kept another half for the next meal. The brown rice! Oh my...the rice is not soggy and it's legit not boxed frozen rice to me. I had been to other asian restaurants that the rice wasn't cooked good or its frozen rice. I recommend to give a try :) I am a newbie of Indian/ Himalayan food.

Not just any Indian/Himalayan restaurant, but also a Balti House! Balti is an especially spicy style first made popular in the UK amongst the Indian diaspora. My taste for the style was started by a long closed spot in Hollywood on Sunset. While many Indian restaurants exist, for some reason, Balti is as rare as places with Dosai, perhaps more rare. I chose the house Balti special with basmati and naan, and everything came out as I hoped. The (by request) medium plus heat level was dialed in perfectly. A runny nose is the first indicator of success in my experience. It was so good I ate it all! I also really liked the presentation of the entrée. Next time I'll explore more than just Balti, but it really awakened old memories and taste buds. Great work!
