One of my favorite restaurants in Oceanside that's always consistent. Best chicken tikka masala and saag aloo I've had in SD. The seasoning is always perfect and so flavorful. I usually get the lunch special and it's the perfect amount for a good price. The chicken vindaloo and Chana masala is also great. I must try the chicken chili next time. Everytime I've been (4+ times) the chicken is juicy and not dry. The mango lassi is so refreshing as well. When you order to go it doesn't take that long which is nice and the staff is always so friendly. read more

Yum YUM YUMM. Some of the best Chicken Biryani I've had ever. Tender chicken with flavorful rice. Ambiance In The restaurant is quiet and the staff is really friendly. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good Indian type restaurant. I would recommend the Chicken Biryani (spice level 5) and the Garlic Naan read more

We love coming here for the lunch specials! The Service is always quick and their lunch specials are a super reasonable price. What we love most is the varieties of food, we usually get the coconut shrimp as an appetizer, but I've noticed this last time that the recipe must've changed, cause it was way more coconut milk than the last time. Sometimes the chicken can be a little bit dry, but in general this place hits the spot when he wants some Indian food every single time! Would highly recommend trying it out! read more

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! read more

$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. read more

the lunch special at this place is great! $16 for two entrees, naan/rice, side dishes, and rice pudding. my boyfriend loves this special for its variety and affordability. usually i eat daal at himalayan/indian restaurants, and this one was a little bit plain to me (also got charged an extra $1 for getting roti instead of rice/naan). service was nice. inside, there are lots of tables (all named after a famous landmark?!), making this an ideal place to dine in. read more

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. read more

Himalayan bistro has always been my favorite Indian food restaurant since I moved to this area five years ago. Tonight I ordered with DoorDash my usual dishes and was very disappointed. The Molai Kofta was very bland white and not tasty at all, the garlic chili naan was rubbery dry and tough with no flavor. I'm so sad. This was so disappointing. read more

At work, we do a DEI buffet lunch. They had a hard time finding a restaurant owned by a Native American to celebrate Native American Awareness month. So the company decided to fall back on the holiday we celebrated last November which was Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. The dates of the festival vary each year, and this year it was back on October 20th. But we celebrated in November by getting lunch catered from Himalayan Bistro in Oceanside. We ordered the following: Vegetable Samosas :vegan: Plain Naan and Garlic Cilantro Naan (not vegan or dairy friendly, unfortunately) Chana Masala :vegan: Vegetable Chow Mein :vegan: Saag PaneerChicken (dairy) Tikka Masala (dairy) Lamb Tandoori (dairy free) I really enjoyed the GIANT samosas, Chana masala, vegetable chow mein(I had no idea that chow main could be Himalayan), and the Lamb Tandoori. I'm not the biggest fan of Indian food, but I LOvED this meal. I had seconds!!! I want to come back here with my vegan friends because I bet they will enjoy it too. Thank you Himalayan Bistro for opening my food horizons. read more

A very solid restaurant with a lot of open seating and table options! We loved the curry chicken and pakora. It was spicy but delicious. The service was great and the servings are generous, it's nice to take some leftovers home. They had a lot of takeout orders too which is a good sign, I'll try that the next time. read more

So many choices and everything we had was super flavorful and absolutely delicious! Cute little restaurant that was pretty busy.

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. read more

My husband and I couldn't come to a mutual decision on what we wanted for dinner. So since he's not a fan of Indian food, I was able to order for me! The food is absolutely amazing. I miss my old Indian restaurant in Encinitas. I've been on the search, and I found this place. No need to look further. I am very satisfied. read more

Wonderful Butter Chicken!! The naan is so garlicky and delicious. The employees are incredibly kind and kept inviting me back. Great experience overall! read more

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! read more

Food was amazing! I forgot to take pictures because the food smelled so good as soon as it reached our table. We shared three dishes between the four of us. Baigan Bharta (eggplant), chicken Tikka masala ( more tomato flavor) and the butter chicken. We also ordered the garlic and cheese naan and the special naan that was sweet and nutty. There was no wait at 3pm and plenty of parking. Service was quick and decorations were wonderful. read more

Tucked away in a bustling shopping center with a variety of restaurants is Himalayan Bistro - Oceanside's top rated Indian cuisine. It's not hard to see why: fresh ingredients, vibrant flavors, and extremely consistent high- quality food. You cannot go wrong with their staple items like Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and Vegetable Samosas. However, their Himalayan specialities such as their Momo, Chow Mein and Bone-in Goat Curry take this fusion cuisine to a whole new level. The service here is friendly, efficient, and the ambiance is that of a traditional Indian restaurant. read more

This food is amazing. Ordered delivery through the DoorDash partnership and the food arrived hot, with plenty of rice and the portion sizes were perfect. Ordered the butter chicken (sooo good); mild was spicier than I anticipated, so if you're a little sensitive to spice, stick to the lower level. Will definitely be eating here more often. read more

I've always had to go from here and haven't been inside the restaurant. The tikka masala's and curries are delicious as is the momo appetizer and naan. read more

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!! read more

For take out. I cannot comment on service there but the food is fantastic. I got lamb biriyani and papadum. I'm more used to the light kind if papadum, almost paper like. This is thicker and saltier than what I was used to. I will probably not buy the papadum again The biriyani- OMG is really good. It's the dry kind of biriyani- not the one laden with sauce. Closer to Hyderabad style. But the lamb was so tender and delicious. This was takeout and they packed it very well. I will order from them when I have the chance! Love it!! read more

I love this little hole in the wall hidden gem. They always come out with the best and it's always on and busy so you know it's a good place. I come here for the lunch special which is $17 for a small salad TWO choices of entrees, naan and a small dessert. My go to our tikka masala and chana masala 4 star spicy which was just spicy enough to make my nose water a little. The flavor was there the rice was good and fresh, and the naan was freshly baked and piping hot. I absolutely love the flavors that come out of this kitchen. Any review on here that says it is flavorless smokes crack, lost their taste buds during covid, or needs to get higher than a level one. I knocked it down one star because I got my food to go and when I got home I realized there was no small salad or dessert. I was so full from the entrees rice and naan that it was forgiven. I shall return so I can try other things on the menu. read more

Wow!!!! Thanks Yelp!!!! This place is so good!!!! We ordered Apps- The fried onion with chickpea batter so good!!! It was awesome they had this no gluten.

I'm glad to see that this place is getting the stars they deserve. The food is everything you'd want from an Indian food restaurant. Huge servings, some great spices, flaky naan, a little heat, and some wonderful service. Usually at Indian food restaurants, the food takes a while, and we've come to expect that in exchange for some deliciousness, but at this place, you get both speed and quality. Granted, there weren't too many people dining in, but it looked like the takeout orders were booming, so we were pleasantly surprised to have gotten our food in less than 10 minutes. We'll definitely be back! read more
