This is a suburb of a suburb, so I was a bit surprised to find this Nepali restaurant packed. I've certainly been to other Indian restaurants in suburban Virginia that produced high quality food but weren't crowded. I got an array of takeout including a samosa chaat with pomegranate arils, some classic momos, and a very spicy daal. Even at one level below the maximum spice setting, it was still quite strong, but also loaded with nuanced flavors of spices and greens. Getting a plain paratha to mop up the lentils turned out to be a great decision; I usually get my parathas filled but the plain one was delightfully flaky. I had plenty of choices, and found the stop both convenient and worthwhile. read more

My husband and I ate at the Himalayan Grill today for the first time. The food and service is outstanding. We tried several dishes and everything was well balanced in flavor. My favorites were the Samosa Chat, the Chicken 65, the Royal Butter Chicken and the Naan. I could eat their Naan and butter chicken everyday and be very happy. My husband's favorite dish was the Chicken Qorma. The servers were attentive, pleasant and very friendly. The restaurant is well lit and decorated nicely. We will definitely go back. If you're out in Haymarket, I would recommend that you give them a try. read more

What a hidden gem! We just had lunch here and everything about the experience was incredible. The food was bursting with flavor, made fresh from scratch, and came out sizzling hot to the table... you could taste the love in every bite. The portions were generous, too, which made it even better. One of our guests is actually from Nepal, and even he was so impressed and genuinely enjoying every dish, which says a lot about the authenticity. The service truly stood out. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and with a big smile, our waitress even offered to take a photo for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. She was absolutely lovely. The restaurant itself is only about a year old, and it shows in the best way. The interior is spotless, beautifully decorated, and filled with natural light that makes the whole space feel warm and inviting. There's also a lovely outdoor patio that I can already tell will be absolutely gorgeous in the summer. It's a small, family-run place, and you can feel the care and pride in every detail. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Our first time venturing to eating this type of cuisine. Not disappointed at all, although we did find it to be on the spicy side for us, and we are used to spicy food. Our server was very attentive and even offered us a side of yogurt sauce to ease the spice. The place was very inviting and they offer an extensive selection of vegetarian and non vegetarian options. We tried a few dishes to share and all were very tasty and had its own unique flavor. Very clean, casual and family friendly. Definitely worth the visit. read more

This place is still really good. The steamed MoMos are tender and have lots of flavor. I got the lamb Rogan Josh and it was really good. My only hang up is there wasn't a lot of lamb meat, and for the price, I was hoping for more. My wife got the veggie byriani and it was really good too read more

Website is easy to navigate. We did Carryout and had butter chicken and Lamb. Both were delicious.

I've had takeout from here and have dined in. Both amazing experiences. I'm so glad we have a good Napalese/ Indian restaurant for this area. Everything I've had here was very good. I would like to come back again and try some of their other dishes. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was probably the Chicken Wings because I thought they were a little on the dry side. Other than that, everything else was perfection. I had an amazing dining experience with them. The restaurant was spacious and clean with modern style decor . The service was excellent--friendly and attentive from start to finish. Our sweet waitress remembered me from when I came to pick up my take out order two months before. While waiting for the appetizers to come out , my friend and I tried their yummy cocktails. Their drinks were legit--strong, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. We especially loved the tamarind margarita; it had a bold, spicy kick that really stood out. The dishes I've tried are : Garlic naan 8/10 Soft, served warm, seasoned perfectly with a nice slightly chewy texture Nepali Chow mein 8/10 Noodles cooked al dente in their special spices. It has a slight spiciness to it, which was perfect to me since I love spicy food.) Butter chicken 7/10 The chicken was nice and tender, cooked in a rich tomato based, buttery sauce Fried chicken Momo/steamed chicken Momo 7/10 All their momo have nice flavorful, generous filling inside. It's seasoned with Nepalese spices , so they have a slight spicy kick to them. comes with dipping sauces on the side. Steamed vegetable Momo. 8/10 The veggie Momos are slightly larger than the chicken ones and filled with Nepali style seasoned veggies I believe there was corn, spring, onions, cabbage, and maybe carrots in the filling. Chicken 65 8/10 This appetizer has nice heat to it. It's boneless chicken fried in a blend of Indian spices. I enjoyed this one with some of their yogurt sauce that I ordered on the side, drizzled on top. Chicken tikka masala 7/10 This is one of my favorite Indian dishes I always order at every restaurant I go to that serves it. They do it well here. The large boneless pieces of chicken are nice and tender and the sauce is perfectly flavored. You can choose the spice level. Tandoori chicken wings 4/10 It was okay, just a tad bit on the dry side. Carrot raita 7/10 This was a great accompaniment with some of the dishes we ordered. read more

The Himalayan Grill is located in the retail complex off of Route 55 near the U.S. 15/Route 55 intersection. They opened a few days ago. I love Indian food - so I was excited to try out whatever constitutes Himalayan/Nepalese cuisine. I stopped in on a Friday evening to check out the place and order some food to go. I ordered their Daal Ko Soup - made with lentils. It's a tasty warming soup. I felt like the quantity of soup was a bit on the small side (see the attached pix). I also ordered their Khasiko Masu - a goat dish/stew slowly-cooked with onions, ginger, garlic, and spices. They asked what spice level I'd like - given it was my first time - I opted for "Medium." The goat was well butchered - meaning I encountered no silver skin or chunks of fat. I did encounter a few bones - which I can deal with. The spice level was nice and warming - it was served with Basmati Rice - which had a nice fragrance to it. Very tasty! While I was waiting for my to go order - I was approached by one of the staff - who wanted to know if they could offer me some hot tea. As it is really cold out - I said yes. They asked if I wanted milk in it - I turned down the milk - I wanted to experience whatever tea they were presenting - unadulterated by anything else. The tea was hot and lightly fragrant - it was really nice to sip while I was waiting on my order. Turns out the lady I interacted with is one of the owners - her name is Anita. There is a good bit of seating inside - very relaxing atmosphere. I will be back to eat in try out some other dishes. Paid with Apple Pay. Service was very good. #HimalayanGrill read more

Stopped in for the first time after seeing the great reviews. And we were not disappointed. We were greeted quickly and politely. The space is beautiful and clean. We got two kids meals and two adult meals. Butter Chicken, chicken chowmein, chicken tikka masala, mango lassi and samosa. We spent $80. The portions were decent, we brought home left overs. Seemed a little higher than I'd expect at lunch but the kids meals were priced well. Everything was delicious and the server was super polite and attentive. We will definitely be back. read more

Bones and whole spices A sign of authentic ethnic food Cheap on sauces and rice on smaller side What to get: 1) Goat Curry 9/10 Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones Great flavor, a lot of bones, had to use my hands It turned into more of a dipping sauce than meaty dish Included side of rice 2) Nepali Chowmein 10/10 Great dish, amazing flavor, wok char, yum 3) Tandoori Chicken 7/10 Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones Great flavor, but a lot of bones. A bit dry No rice included. Did they forget the rice??? 2 entrees but only 1 side of rice. Feels cheap. 4) Garlic Naan 6/10 2 decent size pieces of naan Garlic flavor was missing - not as good as Indian restaurant down the street Very small cup of green sauce. Unable to dip. I'll go back, but might stay away from Indian dishes and stick to the more Nepali style cuisine. Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones read more

Um... if you like these flavors and haven't tried this place, you HAVE to try it! OMG! We are a family of foodies with discerning tastes, and this place is spot on! We had carry out and found the portions sizes great, food perfectly cooked, and flavors on point! Let me put it this way, if I had to choose between my beloved mother's cooking, and Himalayan Grille in Haymarket, I'd choose HG-Haymarket. Sorry Mom... I love you! read more

Ordered the lamb taas (appetizer) to go. Very small amount for $16.95, don't think it's worth it. It was good, just not enough of it. With those prices, won't be ordering from there in the future. read more

The food and the service were excellent! We definitely plan to return with the rest of your family.

Stopped in on a weekday evening to check out one of the many new spots in Haymarket. We were initially surprised at how nice it was inside, much nicer than most restaurants in the area. Service was super friendly and made you feel like you were visiting family. We had chicken tikka masala and a nepalese dumpling dish, in addition to samosas. The samosas were absolutely fantastic. The other dishes were good as well. Manager/owner came around a few times to check on us as did the waitress. The menu is more extensive than a lot of other Indian restaurants as they also have a number of Himalayan and Nepalese dishes. I look forward to visiting again and exploring the menu a bit more. read more

All I have to say is WOW!! What a great addition to Haymarket - ate here on 1/12/25 - they have only been open for 5 days - a few nits that I chalk up to a new opening but what a great family restaurant. When we first walked in we were immediately greeted by what I assumed was the owner. I then noticed the beautiful chairs and art work on the walls. We started with appetizers. I ordered the hot and sour chicken soup - so authentic and a nice amount of heat - please understand that in Nepal hot means very hot but I love hot spicy food so the soup was a 10 out of 10 for me. My wife ordered the Samosa. 2 large Samosa's arrived shortly after the soup and again great flavors - the spice profile is a little stronger than other similar Indian food which for me again is awesome - I like strong flavors but nothing was over the top - it was balanced and fresh. While eating our appetizers I heard the other diners using words like "excellent" and "very good" - seems like everyone was enjoying their experience. For lunch there were 9 full tables - so a good crowd. For entrees, I ordered the lamb rogan Josh. Again, very good and plenty of lamb. My wife got the Chicken Tandoori which was amazing - highly recommend both dishes. We also had the garlic naan which was deelish. Highly recommend everything we ordered and can't wait to come back. Later in the meal come to find out that the restaurant was opened by the daughter of the man I initially met - he's not the owner but the dad of the owner and beaming with pride. It is family owned and operated. The severs were Kalifa (see pic) and Puza (she declined a pic but was very pleasant). Both servers were superstars so you can't go wrong with either one of them and of course dad was very active supporting the severs and right there with them taking orders and clearing tables. WELL DONE!! read more

Casual modern atmosphere and calm, prompt and attentive service in a restaurant that is nicer than its strip mall location would indicate. Absolutely scrumptious butter paneer, the sauce was the best we'd ever had. Also enjoyed the momos and the chicken sizzler, plus naan. Highly recommend. read more

Love that we have this option so close to home. Nicely decorated and welcoming atmosphere. The tandoori paneer sizzler was perfection - very flavorful dish with tasty veggies. I would get this again for sure. Also tried the chicken tikka masala and it was creamy, comforting, and also packed with flavor. Will definitely come back to try their other dishes. Very intrigued with the additional Nepali options offered beyond the Indian dishes. Also, the service was very attentive and friendly. Definitely give them a try! read more

Very small portion sizes. They charge $20 for Chicken Tika Masala and I was hungry after. Food was good, not amazing, but good. Well seasoned. It's just low value (high price for a small amounts of food). If I go back, I will stay away from the curry, and try to find something else. read more

Fantastic restaurant! The food is amazingly good. We order the samosas as appetizer and they were not only big but delicious! The paneer plates are spectacular and the breads are divine! So savory and full of flavor. The service was also spectacular. Nice and very cozy space. Highly recommend! read more

What a fantastic spot! We stopped in for lunch and were treated to a kind and attentive staff serving absolutely delicious North Indian cuisine. We shared the Palak Paneer, Chana Masala, Butter Chicken, and Lamb Vindaloo. The spinach was creamy but balanced with just enough bitterness. The chickpeas and lamb had plenty of tangy bite and the chicken was rich without being overbearing. We ordered our meal spicy and they checked that it was hot enough; they brought a house-made hot sauce that made everything even better--it increased the heat while also adding great depth to the flavors. We wiped our plates clean with two flavors of naan, cheese and garlic. Both were pressed thin--not too doughy--and smothered with flavor. We hope to get back soon! read more

I have gotten takeout 3 or 4 times now and it's been consistently wonderful. I love the butter chicken, mango lassi, vegetable biryani, samosas, naan and raita. I was having a hard day and stopped in for takeout (didn't realize I arrived about 10 minutes after they closed in the middle of the day) and they gave my kids 2 small mango lassis. One of my kids had a lingering cough and she loved it! It was the kindest gesture after such a long day for me. Their butter chicken has lots of sauce which I love. The ambiance is lovely and the staff is always so kind to my family and I - it goes a long way. Thank you Himalayan Grill! read more

This review has been a long-time coming!! Definitely a favorite for our family! This local gem is a must-visit. The authentic cuisine boasts delicious flavors, there is something for everyone. It's a Family-owned and operated restauraunt, and they make you feel at home. It's beautifully decorated, very peaceful and cozy ambiance, if you've come once it's hard to stay away! If you haven't tried Indian or Pakistani food before, this is a great place for a first, you won't regret it! The server's recommendations are very helpful too. read more

This newish eatery in Haymarket definitely deserves a visit. The decor is bright and classically comfortable with high back leather chairs & polished tables. The menu is full of aromatic and delicious dishes. There are 4 levels of spice so you can get just the right heat for everyone. They have a full bar with a very nice house Pinot Grigio. The staff is friendly and professional. Our waitress made sure we understood what we were ordering. We will definitely be back and highly recommended it for a great date night or fun with the family. read more

Great food, good atmosphere, and friendly staff. Only knocked a star off because, on rare occasion, the food can be a bit underseasoned

Absolutely delicious, ( we ate a mix of both Indian and Nepalese yummies, great service - We will be going back soon!
