Chicken Curry korma
Sergey L.

Awesome food. This is a great Indian food place. The food is so tasty. Although it was my first time, and I only tried Chicken Korma spicy level 3 and Butter Chicken curry level 2 with white rice. Both were excellent. Garlic naan was great too, perfectly juicy even. We came on a Friday around 5. There were a few customers and our food came right out within 5-7 minutes. The service was great. Highly recommend to visit.

Brought a women's group here to try their food . A group of 6 ladies , I had booked a table in advance for 11:30 seating . Everything was nicely set on the table and they were ready for us. They had lunch specials still available on a Sunday which was a pleasant surprise as I was not expecting that.

Lunch special with saag paneer and chicken curry

Went back here once again yesterday. The service was not good. We were basically ignored until the food came out. We had to ask for things like water refills and still didn't get them until we went to the counter to ask again. Food came out nice and hot and very tasty as usual. There was only one other occupied table at lunchtime. Better service and some advertising would really help because the food is worth the trip here.

My friend Judy, who is vegetarian, and I grabbed lunch for the first time at Himalayan Grill & Curry in Murrieta. Huge selection of non-meat entrees and appetizers. Their Baigan Bharta (Roasted mashed eggplants w/ cream), Matar Paneer (cheese cubes & peas in sweet creamy sauce), cheese garlic naan, and masala chai were delicious! Portions are enough for sharing and prices are reasonable. Will definitely return! Service was warm and friendly. Colorful and stimulating ambiance. Tons of parking. Highly recommend!

My husband's expression after eating their food here. He said, "It's so fuking good!" We came here because we were trying to catch what Amazon Fresh has left since they were closing. We saw this restaurant at the corner of our eye and were curious about it. After we shopped we decided to try this Indian place out. My husband said I judge an Indian restaurant by two things: their chicken korma and garlic naan. He said the chicken korma was the best that he had and the aroma from the garlic naan smells so good. The garlic naan had a good taste of garlic and it's fluffy. My husband said the chicken korma is almost like the chicken korma from Bombay restaurant in Riverside that closed down. The Himalayan chicken fried rice was so good to me. My husband loves the veggie samosas. Garlic naan $3.95 for 4 pieces Vegetable samosas $6.95 for 2 Himalayan style chicken fried rice $13.95 Chicken korma $18.95 Service was good. We ordered out so can't say much about ambiance. Next time we will dine in. They also have lunch specials for $14.95 for two items and come with rice, naan, Nepalese salad and dessert.

Great food - friendly service - maybe not the fastest place to go, but if you're a dine in customer, slow down and enjoy - take out orders are quick and timely if you are in a rush - been here about 5 times now, and the food has never disappointed - everything I've had out of the tandoori has been excellent! Great lamb! Great naan! The lentils are fantastic...large vegetarian menu as well- Highly recommend

Lunch special, $15, 11am-3pm

Food was great, very cultural ambiance, and our server Pramila was very kind and made us feel welcomed. She completed our experience! Also, their lunch special is such a deal!!! Must go 11am-3pm

Came here for dinner and received a lovely complimentary lentil soup with our meal! This place packs a lot of flavor in their dishes. We ordered several items and standouts were: tandoori grilled shrimp and garlic naan. Their mango lassi was also super tasty, and they use thick yogurt for it. The grilled shrimp had that smoky flavor from the tandoori and the naan was flavorful and paired perfectly with everything. The staff is also super kind. Highly recommend for anyone in the area!

19. Garlic Cilantro Naan
Lora B.

Might be my favorite Indian restaurant in the valley. The food here is absolutely phenomenal. Their medium spice level really comes through. We got to start with lentil soup, which was very aromatic. The garlic naan was deliciously pungent and perfectly crispy for dipping into our sauce. The butter chicken was so comforting, with seasoned tender chicken. The rice was fluffy and fresh. The samosas were huge! Perfectly crispy, and the tamarind was my favorite. However, the service was a little odd at times, with personal conversations happening. There NEEDS to be some sort of music or ambient sounds. It was too quiet without it and I was hearing other tables conversations and even the kitchen a little too well. If they could improve the experience inside, I'd love it even more, but I might opt for a to-go order next time.

22. Cheese Garlic Naan
Jade F.

Wish the had a few more employees as the two had to run around. However the food was great, first experience here. We had chicken kebabs, chicken chow mein, spring rolls, garlic cheese naan and tried everyone else's dishes that we were with. Definitely recommend coming here, and will come back. Our toddler ate everything.

Run don't walk to the best Indian/nepalise buffet anywhere around here. Welcoming place from the start and I saw them even take the time to explain all the dishes to some of the less experienced customers. I grew up with Indian food so I'm picky Compared to the other place in town , they serve BONE in tandoori which makes it moist and has all the umami. Several awesome veg dishes including saag, daal and Chana masala with chick peas. Star of the offerings was goat curry, let's say if you have that for a buffet you are already a Goat buffet lol . Only served Friday- Sunday but I'll be back

8. Two Piece Lamb Samosa and lentil soup
Mary X.

Greeted with warm smiles as you walk in. Each dish is packed with flavor and piping hot. It looks like they have a buffet area, Would come back for lunch buffet is that's the case. The only thing I'd add is ambiance music. It's quiet. Other than that. Food and service is good.

My family chose Himalayan Taste because it's a Nepalese / Nepali restaurant which also serves Indian dishes. (Yes, there are nuances between the cuisines. We enjoyed both restaurants in Manchester.) When we arrived on a Sat, slightly earlier than the dinner rush hour, the restaurant was pleasantly filled. I like when people support locally-owned businesses in the neighborhood. We didn't wait long to be seated at a table, get ice water, and place our order. The waiter even asked what spice level (1 mild to 10 hottest) we wanted for each dish; he also asked (with a slightly testy tone) if we wanted a drink other than water. A plain lassi, why not? Then the rush arrived. Our order arrived, plus basmati rice - which we didn't order b/c we have a low-carb plan. The jalfrezi and vindaloo were mild, despite ordering a level 8 heat. The saag ordered to level 5 was actually hotter. :D Based on a blood sugar level the following morning, we suspect sugar. (Indian and Nepali cooks in England have told us sugar = cheating / manipulation of authentic cooking.) The restaurant is under-staffed. Water refills were infrequent. Our waiter didn't check on us. The lassi was never served; at least it wasn't charged to our tab. By the entrance, people were waiting for tables as we waited for the check so we could free up a table... as another (empty) table waited to be bussed. The upside: The food was slightly flavorful and pricing is relatively affordable, but we won't return.

Beautiful area with lots of kids playing by the fountain. Sitting is inside or outside the restaurant. Lady who greeted us were very nice. All tables were taken outside so we sat inside the restaurant looking out to the fountain area. Place was decorated nicely with pillows on some of the sittings. Really cute place and cozy. Three of us were hungry and the aroma coming from the kitchen made us twice as hungry. We ordered 2 vegetable dishes, Palak Paneer and Aloo Matar. The Palak Paneer which is spinach with cheese was delightful. It is our favorite vegetable dish and tied our entrees together. It's comforting and savory. The Aloo Matar fresh peas and potatoes were as delicious but hard to compare with the Paneer. I did like the peas a lot. For our entrees we had the Chicken Kadai, Lamb Tarkari and Chicken Tandoori. All came with basmati rice. The chicken kadai had a nice spicy kick. The lamb was tender and lots of cinnamon notes. The tandoori was crispy, tender and juicy. The Garlic cilantro naan was tasty, soft and buttery and great with soaking in all the curry sauce. All the flavors hit the right spot and were all delicious! We had a tiny leftover left of the rice, naan and Aloo Matar. Otherwise we devoured our entire meal. It was that yummy!!! We love this place. Everything about our experience felt like your grandmother or aunties made these food just for you. It was that authentic and cozy! If you're by Carlsbad and want to experience the taste of Nepal, Indian and Tibetan cuisine, this place is for you. They will treat you like family. This will be our go to place when we visit Carlsbad again. Will be back!!!

Having been here multiple times in the last decade, our visit yesterday was a bit disappointing,…read moreand I can no longer give this spot 5 stars. For a restaurant in a touristy area, it still lands at a solid 3.5 to 4 stars, but the experience has definitely taken a step back. Cleanliness - there's a fly constantly going up and down the window we sat next to. It was getting a lot of my attention but alas I did not have a fly swatter. Lucky sob!!! Food - portion sizes felt smaller. While Indian dishes aren't typically huge, the presentation this time made them look a bit meager--it could be the dinnerware, the presentation? I don't know. Flavor-wise, something has changed for the worse. The Chicken Tikka Masala was decent, but lacked the rich depth and spice profile of our previous visits. The Fish Vindaloo suffered a similar fate. It wasn't bad, but it lacked that bold, signature Indian flavor. Also, using salmon felt like a misstep; its strong flavor tends to clash with vindaloo spices rather than absorb them. Side note, this dish was not at all spicy. And the server never asked us about the spiciness level of any of the dishes we ordered. Maybe they only offer non-spicy for all their dishes?? The same vindaloo dish at our favorite Indian restaurant in L.A. is very spicy and full of other favors. Service was just ok. The restaurant was quiet, with far more empty tables than occupied ones, yet the food took quite a while to come out. At one point, at least four servers were standing around the counter watching the dinning hall. Yet, other than delivering the food, no one came to any of the tables to check on them once the food had been delivered. Multiple times nearby tables waved their hands in the air to get attention after they got their food. We overheard one young man asking for hot sauce and chuckled - so someone else wanted their food spicier, too! Come here if you REALLY love touristy/Americanized Indian or want some vegetarian choices. Personally, I'll find dinner elsewhere next time in Big Bear.

Each combo meal comes with rice, lentil, naan, salad or Raita. We had (1) Chicken Curry with Raita. Raita was very watery. As was the lentil. Lentil was also watery. The chicken curry was good. (2) Tandoori chicken with salad. The salad was the better choice than Raita. The Tandoori chicken was good. Again the lentil was too watery. The rice and naan were good. We also had the mango lassi, which is a shake with yogurt and mango. It was delicious but I wish it had come earlier (while I was waiting for my food). The drink did not come until after my food has arrived. Service was adequate. Nothing exceptional but gets the job done. Portion size was good.
