Me and my friend were meeting up with Concord and being halal, she found this spot; such a hidden gem! We ordered the Chicken Momos as well as the Kashmiri Rogan Josh with chicken. The momos were probably some of the best I've had! Ample filling and delicious and the meat wasn't mushy. The Rogan Josh had a kick since we got medium spice level! The garlic naan and rice were the perfect accompaniment. Service was amazing! The lady was very attentive and consistently checked on us to make sure we didn't need anything. read more

Butter chicken was by far the best dish. The powerful combination of spices makes the flavors pop out, nothing short of delicious. The tikka masala was also flavorful and well balanced with spices. The palak paneer (cheese spinach) was ok, but lacked flavor. I should have ordered the dishes spicier - I got mild and really missed the spiciness of the curries that makes the experience. Chicken momo was also good with that orange dipping sauce. The service was good, the waitress takes the time to explain the differences in curries and helps you choose dishes. read more

Overall rating 4.5 Food 5/5 Parking 4/5 Customer service 5/5 Wait time 4/5 Price 5/5 We came here randomly on a Friday night decided to try something new. Wasn't too busy but you could tell everyone knew everyone and it was return customers due to how good the food is. We were sat and given menus.

The food all came out together and the everything was amazing and satisfying. Great portions, great flavor and adequately priced. This is definitely a must try and we will be coming back again for explore more of the menu. read more

FOOD: 5 out of 5! By far the best food I've come across in California and I'm a Bay Area native. Full of flavor, top fresh ingredients and a good variety of selections (from vegan to meats). You can tell the chef really makes everything from scratch so it tastes like home cooked meals which is what I prefer. I've tried various dishes on their menu and all of them have been 5 out of 5. Our favorites are the veggie momo's, veggie chow mein, lamb biryani, okra curry and Chana masala. Also their chia hot tea is the best I've tasted outside the home - I drank chai as a child regularly since I lived with a family from Northern Kenya and this place is pretty darn close to how it tasted as a child. Amazing!!! SERVICE: 6 out of 5! The friendly waitress/owner makes you feel welcome right when you walk in... like you're dining at her home. My 2 daughters always look forward to coming here just so they can enjoy the great hospitality here! I promise you, you will not leave here unsatisfied or hungry. You will leave here full of joy from the delicious food and heartwarming service! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem. We came here for lunch on a Tuesday. The walls are thoughtfully decorated with one of a kind photos taken in Nepal. The decor is simple, warm, and inviting. We were served by the owner, a kind woman from Nepal herself. We were told their unique story of how this female partnership came to fruition. The masala chai was yummy and rich. We ordered vegetarian dishes, with a raisin and nut bread new to us. Portions were generous, so our containers we brought with us were put to good use. Overall, delicious! We will be returning soon. read more

Wow! Best dinner in Concord! Cute, quaint establishment ran by a pair of sisters from Nepal. One sister cooks, the other serves and one of their husbands helps run out the food. Perfect family restaurant! We had in order of like to love Chicken Tikka Masala, Aloo Gobi, vegetarian momos, onion and garlic naan, masala chai and the star of the show the scallop korma. The food was fantastic, the service was homey and parking wasn't bad. Beware a 5 is spicy, not medium still great but for those who can't take heat, you've been warned! read more

I used to frequent some Himalayan cuisine restaurants in Berkeley so I thought that I would try one a little closer to home. So you pick from different types of curries along with a spice level between 2-10. Then you choose your "protein" so you can personalize your dish to your specific taste which is nice. I had Chicken Tiki Masala, plain naan bread and basmati rice. It was the flavors, colors and freshness that really stood out to me. I believe it was the owner who was serving so obviously the service was exceptional. The ambiance was inviting and cozy. They're located across from Todos Santos Plaza in Concord. Definitely coming back to try their Biryani! read more

Himalayan Cuisine - Chicken tikka masala, naan and basmati rice. - Indian Near Me - Concord, California

Came a couple weeks ago for dinner on a weekday around 7. Not too busy and got seated immediately. Wait staff was friendly, but a little slow. Not a big deal since it seemed they were a little understaffed. Had high expectations since the reviews and pictures looked good, however things Just fell a little flat. Ordered the: Chicken Momo (3.5/5): Flavor of the momo and dipping sauce was pretty balanced, but just feel a little flat, needed to amp up the flavor Goat Biryani (3/5): Just did not have that Biryani Flavor, not sure if it's the Himalayan style but tasted a bit bland Garlic Naan (3/5): Just tasted like Naan, needs more garlic Exotic Tikka (2.5/5): Was craving tikka and wanted to like this. It was a decent attempt, but for some reason just tasted time tomato bisque soup. Overall, food was just alright, but wait staff was nice. Don't think I would go back read more

On a chilly and windy evening, this was a warm inviting refuge. The hostess seated us and then helped to explain the many Nepalese options on the menu, focusing on the spice options. We found the Chicken Choyela a delicious appetizer. I really enjoyed the Tikka Masala; (UK's favorite dish!?); the creamy sauce really delighted. My wife enjoyed the Bismati Rice Biryani, my son swiftly polished off Sekuwa Chicken. We had cheese and regular Naan, pickles, and rice. A sumptuous feast, with lovely spices and flavors that celebrated some of the best cuisine from that part of the world, all washed down with Taj Mahal beer. I've eaten a lot of food from that cultural area, but rarely has it been any better. read more

We ordered Makhani Mazza with lamb, exotic chicken tikka masala, palak paneer, garlic nann and chicken momo. The food is completely different than any other regular Indian food we have tried before and no wonder this place is 5 stars. I highly recommend the Makhani Mazza and exotic masala, the sauce was the best and very different. The owner can adjust the food basing on your preference and spice level. Everything is homemade and they delicate their dishes. The restaurant is nice and clean. The owner was really nice, she patiently explained the menu to us and what we expected since it was our first time trying Nepalese food. read more

We will be back to try more food!! What we ordered. Chicken Momo 8- Steamed dumplings $12.00 Momo dumplings are tasty . They are much like soup dumplings. Definitely will order again. Chicken & Vegetable chow-mien $16.00 My friend asked for no heat, but unfortunately their idea of no heat was still "hot" for a person who asked for no heat. It was difficult to eat this. At the end of the meal when the waitress saw he didn't enjoy the dish, she offered two types of yogurt to tone down the heat. Ancho-Amchoor Chicken $16.00 Dried mango/Ancho/Bone-in/Grilled This was dry. Will not order again. Shahi Pista Korma Pistachio/Onion/Cream gravy With CHICKEN $17.00 I would definitely organized this again. Cheese Naan $4.00 Tasty Garlic Naan $4.00 Tasty Basmati Rice $2.00 Gulab Jamun ( 2 Pieces) $6.00 I would order this again! Kheer Rice Pudding $5.00 I would order this again! Hot Masala Chai $4.00 I would order this again! So delicious! read more

Flavors or the world #1 Looking for Nepalese food, we found a small restaurant in the heart of downtown Concord called "Himalayan Cuisine" and here is what we think. Coming in, we were greeted by a very nice gentleman and a sweet woman whom also took our order; we shared that it was our first time in their restaurant and eating Nepalese food and they explained every section on their menu, and helped us chose some dishes. To start we ordered the chicken momo's and because I mentioned I didn't eat chicken, they kindly did half vegetarian and half chicken for us. That was super nice of them. Then we order 1 Entree to share which was shahi pista korma, and that was our favorite, the sauce is delicious, not spicy at all, and a little bit sweet, the lamb that comes with it was perfect and really tasty; then, as a side dish we order the Potatoes aloo aachar and Garlic naan, the potatoes were cold, I am not sure if that's how they are supposed to come out but they were fine, the garlic naan was so good, of course, it's garlic! For drinks we had the Mango lassi which is a very thick, creamy and sweet non alcoholic beverage (im assuming popular with kids) and a flying horse beer, which is a lager beer that went great with this meal. Overall, the experience was very good. out of because it lack ambiance. And about affordability out of read more

I have driven by this place for years never would have stepped in. It was worth going in and trying Nepalese momo's (steamed dumplings) with spicy sauce . We ordered the Special Goat curry with garlic naan , it was mouth watering. Only place in the county that makes masala dosa and loved it . My only downside would be I wish they had enough staff to clean the tables as we were done . But this will not stop me from going back . read more

(Short review - more to come with a future visit!) I went to meet friends who ate at Himalayan Cuisine this past weekend and popped in at the end of their meal. While my time at the restaurant was short, I was so impressed by how genuinely hospitable and kind the staff were, how inviting the atmosphere was, and how yummy the bit of food I got to sample was! I tried the naan and a few of the curries and everything was delicious. My favorite was a mild tomato-based curry, which was rich in flavor and paired well with the chewy naan. I didn't find the dishes to be too heavy but rather just right, even the vegetarian ones. Hoping to come back soon and try more! read more

On a Saturday morning we decided to find something that we have not tried before. By yelping, we decided to give this one a try. I am so happy about our decision. The husband and wife who owns the restaurant actually work out front to greet the customers and are both so nice. After having some nice conversation with them I can see that they want to have a nice sit down dinner. Buffet only available Saturday and Sunday which is what we decided to have. The dinning area is super clean and the food is very good. When compares to the traditional Indian restaurant, I think this one put less spice less salt and make the taste a little bit more gentle to my palate, which I like it. Their price seems a buck or two higher than other Indian buffet but I don't think I would mind for that. read more

I've been to hundred's of Indian restaurants over the years. This was the best I have ever had. The food was simply amazing. Great service too. We had Shrimp Vindaloo, Chicken Tikka, Bindhi Masala, and Grilled Lamb. The Naan is also excellent. read more

So this is a follow up review as the owners and menu has changed recently. I want to say that i absolutely love and adore this place but I'm not sure what happened to the food quality. I feel like it's changed since they have changed ownership. Not only has the price gone drastically up. I always order the same thing, goat curry, butter chicken, tikka masala and a bread basket it never reached $60 and now I'm paying upwards of $70. I understand the pandemic plays a huge piece to this but this establishment stayed booked and busy the entire time so not sure why the prices changed this drastically. Changes: Goat Curry- a lot more watery, not as flavorful so a bit more of a letdown because it was hands down my favorite thing on the menu. The butter chicken for the most part tastes the same and same with the tikka masala. Our bread basket was really doughy which was another thing we were disappointed about. All in all it pains me to make this review because this was one of my favorite places. If we do go back it will every once in a while. ( we would order once a week or every other week from here) read more

My first time back in two years...new owners seem very nice and service is good. My typical order is still available...but, went from$7.99 to $14.99 in that time frame. (+the cost of rice that isn't included) Portion size seems to have shrunk a little and the food quality is not quite as good. While $17+ for an appetizer size order of fried cauliflower and steamed rice is a bit over the top, service is good and food was still ok. read more

This is my new favorite spot. I love northern Indian food so I had high hopes just from the name of the restaurant. It did not disappoint. I ordered the Tikka masala and butter chicken. Both were so good. I can't wait to go back and try more things. The only negative is you have to buy rice separate so don't forget. They have a great parking lot and it's quick and easy to grab a to go order. read more

Amazing place. Authentic Napalese food. Reminds me of a chinese indian fusion cuisine. The service and people are friendly as well. The wine and beer is very affordable as well.

With the current owners though I feel like it's the best it's been. Service is excellent. You feel very welcome when you walk in. My favorites are lamb korma, butter chicken, momos and pakora. The kheer is also very delicious. read more

My favorites are the Paneer tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, and shrimp tandoori, and ofcourse can't forget the garlic naan. read more

We just moved to the area and tried this gem out last night. WOW. I won't lie, we didn't have much of any idea what we were ordering, but everything we got was other worldly. Samosas, tikka masala, chicken in pistachio cream sauce, and naan. Ohhhh my, the naan. So glad we went with the onion naan recommendation. It was so good, we had to take an additional order to go with us...for leftover purposes. After years working in the restaurant industry, you really learn to appreciate a place that can make a legitimate bowl of rice. Perfectly cooked, individual grains of rice, topped off with cumin seeds. *chefs kiss* We asked for medium spice level on everything and it was perfect. Def spicier than a medium spice level at any American restaurant, but that is exactly what I had hoped for. Whoever is in that kitchen certainly knows how to season perfectly. We were there early on a Thursday night, and 2-3 wonderful women were running the show, love to see that. I would probably go back for dinner tonight, if I didn't already have leftovers from them sitting in my fridge. read more
