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! read more

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. read more

Himalayan Grill & Curry - Lunch special with saag paneer and chicken curry - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Murrieta, California

Today I brought 2 friends with me. I haven't had indian food for awhile so was looking forward to this place. I've been here several times before.. they have a good lunch special you get to pick two items from the menu as your mains. I got seated right away, place was empty only one other customer showed up while we were there, so was very disappointing with the lack of service. Asked for water the waitress never came back had to finally go up to the front counter and ask them to bring water. They don't really come and check on you to see you needing anything and it's too hard to get their attention because their kitchen and counter are far from where you're seated. They probably would have a lot more business if they regularly checked on their customers, especially in the beginning of the meal. And they should be keeping an eye out for when the Customer is done eating. The food is good. The non-was fresh. My only concern is they have this one cold salad with potatoes and carrots which I wish they would either change out to something else or serve it as a hot dish and not a salad. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Himalayan Grill & Curry - 22. Cheese Garlic Naan - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Murrieta, California

Had dinner with colleagues. Relaxed atmosphere, nice friendly staff, and a large menu with great vegetarian options and mix of Nepalese and Indian food. We got gobi Manchurian appetizer (crispy and saucy cauliflower), saag paneer, butter chicken, saag tikka masala, and a yellow lentil curry. All were at a 4/5 spice, and the heat/kick were perfect (4/( is only a little less than a Thai bird's eye chili, or about twice as hot as spicy Korean food if you want an estimate). Garlic naan is a great pairing. Had a great time, would go back. read more

We were at Murrieta Hot Spring and had a sudden craving for Indian food and this place was amazing. We ordered via uber eats (but's actually really close to the resort) - the food came quickly, hot and everything was delicious. We of course had the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken , garlic naan and veggie samosas. I can't pick one favorite thing. I wish they had one closer to us! I highly recommend this place read more

I have been here 4 to 5 times in the last two months and this food is the most delicious, fresh, authentic Indian food I've ever tasted.. The service is wonderful. You may wait 15 to 20 minutes, but it is well worth the wait because it is freshly cooked and they take time to put care and detail into the meals. The Naan is absolutely amazing melts in your mouth and you can get upgraded for 1dollar to a garlic-cilantro Naan, which is incredible !! They have lunch specials Monday through Thursday, which are only 14.95 and include six different things ... the service is amazing. They are kind and humble, always have a smile on their face... I have never been disappointed coming here. I give them five stars. It's making me hungry, even thinking about it. !! read more

Himalayan Grill & Curry - Lunch special and a mango Lassi... absolutely delicious - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Murrieta, California

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 read more

Yum, yum, yum. This place is great. While the options may be a bit overwhelming (nearly 100 options on the menu, labeled by number and type) they know how to cook and it all tastes great. Plenty of tables when we came here. Enthusiastic and kind servers brought us out some delicious food. Greeted on the way in and out there very attentive. If I'm back in the area I will definitely return. Top of the line Indian that you will love! read more

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. read more

I had the lamb tikka masala medium heat, garlic naan and papadam. The lamb was so tender and the spice level was a little spicy but not bad. All the food was very good and the service was excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants really good food. read more

Our second time today 3/22/2026 at 1:30 pm , picked up the menu outside door. Server told us that the daily special was not for Sunday , according to menu states daily except major holidays. Very misleading, wanted the special this way I got everything , instead I paid for Nan, food good , for the price of $20,00 for chicken should be a bit more. Do not cut corners and server needs to be trained 2 people lunch $60.00 read more

Went here with a friend that I was visiting in Murrieta and it did not disappoint!! The place looked small from the outside but was actually big, clean and beautifully decorated. The staff were very welcoming the moment we walked in. We ordered the mushroom masala and shrimp Vindaloo with garlic naan. OMG, I think that is the BEST garlic naan I have ever had in my life and I have eaten a lot of Indian food, mostly in Washington where you can find at least two Indian restaurants on every block! The mushroom masala was so tasty, creamy and delicious. We had never had much seafood at an Indian restaurant but the shrimp vindaloo was spicy, flavorful and scrumptious. If I lived in Murrieta, I would be eating at this restaurant at least once a week! I highly recommend that you try it if you want the best Indian food you have ever tasted! read more

We got chicken Shekuwa, chicken nirvana and vegetable and chicken momos with naan and rice. It was all delicious! Very flavorful. We enjoyed the lentil soup free appetizer as well. read more

We are a bit choosy about Indian food and have had all kinds from boring all you can eat buffets to high end 5 star restaurants and everything in between. My review for "Himalayan Taste" in Temecula was very complimentary and it's still our favorite, and now "Himalayan Grill & Curry" is a very good option in Murrieta. My wife had the Chicken Biryani which was loaded with flavor! I tried something new for me, Shrimp Tikka Masala. SO good! I chose the upgrade on the naan to garlic cilantro and we split an order of Chicken Momo. The Chicken Momo had a wonderful sauce for dipping and they were meatier than others we've eaten. Another thing we like is that the server will ask what heat level you want which is very helpful for people who don't do spicy food well. You can get it as hot or as mild as you like. The service was good and we liked the way the interior was decorated. They can easily seat large parties. read more

We love this place! First time here and the food was delicious. They gave us complimentary soup which was perfect for the rainy day. The chicken wings were a combo of sweet and spicy and savory. Butter chicken and paneer saag came out hot and ready. Masala chai was delightful and comforting! We are definitely coming back! Highly recommend! Service was outstanding and restaurant very clean! read more

This is a newer Indian/Nepalese restaurant in Murrieta that I have meaning to try out. From the reviews it seemed like a place worth trying. After a day at the Hot Springs Resort we really didn't want to drive to old town, and this was just a few minutes away from the resort. We arrived at 4pm but there was no cars in the parking lot, so we were hoping this place lived up to the hype. Once inside, the restaurant is clean and well organized. The seating layout was nice and it had a colorful decor. We were greeted by one of the staff and seated in an empty restaurant, so needless to say we were a but worried. We were given a complimentary lentil soup sample to try, and it had a nice flavor and more representative of Nepalese flavors. We ordered the butter chicken, Salmon Tandori and the Gobi cauliflower. Prior to our order coming out, more people began to show up, and they were doing a lot of to go orders. Our food arrived and it was fantastic. The butter chicken was on point and the Tandori salmon with veggies melted in your mouth. we also got some nan bread with the meal, and it was some of the best nan I have had in a while. With a lot on Indian restaurants in the area, this one is really up there with the best. All the best have something that makes them great, I think here, everything is just really great. They also do a buffet on Fri-Sun for 22 bucks, I saw the layout and food list and it is something I will be back to try for sure. I would highly recommend this restaurant, if I could offer one suggestion, it would be that maybe they could play some Nepalese music to add to the vibe. Otherwise another great restaurant to add to my go to list! read more

Revisiting this Himalayan Grill with my daughter, it continues to be a wonderful place for curry and Asian dishes. I had a shrimp chow mein and my daughter her favorite chicken tikka masala. We got a #2 in spicing and decided that was our maximum. Everything was great. Service was great, as the restaurant was quiet on Veterans Day. They have continued to decorate the dining area and it is warm and welcoming. We will be visiting this Himalayan restaurant often. read more

It was my family's first time here & we have a favorite place we like to frequent in Carlsbad so the bar was set high. The place is brand new! The dining room was very cute and thoughtfully decorated with popular music on the overhead. The service was phenomenal!!

We ordered Himalayan fried rice with chicken, Tandoori mixed grill, chicken nirvana, matar paneer with brown rice and butter naan. It was delicious! We'll definitely be back and we're so psyched that there's a Himalayan/Nepalese grill so close to home!! It's a must try if you love ethnic cuisine. 5 stars!!! read more

Korma lamb with butter nan Nan was very good Korma was on sweeter side, tasted more like a sweet curry Boneless lamb cubes were inside of the sauce I order 1 level of spice, but couldn't even tell difference so add more levels. KORMA flavor was OK but not as good at another Indian restaurant in Inglewood, CA. Service was friendly Will need to try lunch special which is a set menu not a buffet. Clean, lots of light read more

I have been to several Indian and Nepali restaurants in Riverside and Orange Counties, and this is definitely one of the top spots! The decor and ambiance is very charming. Also it is very clean!! Our server was extremely friendly and greeted us with huge smile and welcome from the start. We ordered the lunch special, which comes with salad, rice, naan, two entree options, and dessert. It was a ton of food for an excellent price. I have not found a better deal elsewhere. The food was very fresh, not greasy, and had lots of flavor. The veggie korma was my personal favorite. read more

The lunch special featured a great selection of options to choose from. The prices were very reasonable. I enjoyed the goat biryani at level 4 spice, it was not too bad. The chicken tikka was so juicy and perfectly seared, nicely seasoned topped with the crisped veggies. Don't miss out on the lassi yogurt drink, it really helps with digestion because sometimes the spices can get overwhelming if you have not had Himalayan food before. read more

Delicious. Everything. From the starters to the main course the food was on point. The flavors were fragrant and deep and delicious. We started with coconut shrimp and vegetable samosas. The coconut shrimp was creamy and savory and a hint of sweet I am still dreaming of that dish and we ate it 4 days ago. The vegetable samosas were piping hot the dipping sides were perfect pair to the spicy savory and sweet flavors that I love from the combination of the sauces and samosas. I ordered the chicken tikka masala at level 4 spice. The curry was full of that robust flavor that we all know and love the chicken was tender and there was plenty to go around. My husband had the chicken chili as this was a dish he once had in India while on float for deployment. He has been searching for that dish ever since and here it was. The chicken was perfectly cooked crispy and coated with the sauce the peppers and onions were perfectly cooked it was amazing. Our sons ordered the lamb curry (another flavor packed dish with perfect spice and seasoning) the lamb was tender and full of flavor as well and last but not least the chicken tikka tandoori this was a HUGE hit. To have the option for boneless tandoori chicken was the icing on the cake for the pickiest at the table. Everything was perfect from the service to the cleanliness and surrounding environment. I highly recommend and will for sure be back....we are still talking about this food...it's that good. read more
