Arrived around 2:15 pm on a Saturday, and we knew the buffet was closing, so husband ran inside to check to make sure there was enough food left. He saw enough so we got a table and went to the buffet. There was just 1 other table finishing their meal, and a couple people came for take out while we ate. We wanted to eat as quickly as possible so no photos. The naan container on the buffet was empty so the lady working said she would bring naan and rice to the table. She also asked if the food was still hot since she had already turned off the buffer heaters before we got there. We tried almost everything. The meats were well spiced outside but dry inside; likely they weren't marinated. Nothing was too spicy-hot for me, but the fritters and lentil soup were too salty, though I am more salt sensitive than others. I dipped the fritters in mango chutney. Husband is unlikely to try the buffet again, but I may go with my college student when she's back over break, since she loves Indian and the price here is not too high. Of course we'll go at the beginning of buffet time! read more

We had great service. We were a group of four and all ordered something different and all were delicious. We will be back! read more

I would say this is the worst food for me. It is just not good. The service is great, it was just the food read more

Himalayan Hut Restaurant - Goat Biryani. - Indian Near Me - Webster Groves, Missouri

I ordered Ubereats from Himalayan Hut, but I should have checked the Yelp listing for its health score history. I was most of the way through my order of lentil soup, when a short but thick strand of black hair revealed itself at the bottom of the takeout container. I pray that it wasn't a pubic hair. It's not that there's anything wrong with how the food tastes - the flavors were fine, especially the Chicken Korma (though it was mild when I requested medium-level spice). The paneer tikka masala was also fine, but was pretty spicy when I requested mild. But I have no appetite for such things after finding a hair in my food. read more

Himalayan Hut Restaurant - A hair that revealed itself at the bottom of my lentil soup order. :( - Indian Near Me - Webster Groves, Missouri

I ate at Himalayan Hut on a recent Saturday evening. I let my vegan friend order. We ate the Black Chana appetizer. I liked the flavor but I thought the garbanzo beans were a little undercooked. For dinner we got Aloo Bodi Tama, Aloo Gobi, Vegetable Biryani, Roti, and Garlic Naan. Everything was really good but my absolute favorite was the Aloo Bodi Tama (potatoes, black eye beans and bamboo shoots cooked to perfection with Nepali herbs & seasoning). Loved the spice and the flavor and how all of the beans and vegetables were cooked. I will be back to order this one again. The service is speedy and friendly. They offer different levels of spice when you order. Good find! read more

Was told delivery would be at 5:40, ordered at 5. Called twice checking on order, was told Uber eats had it, then Uber driver texts saying he's just going to get it. Got here at 6:35. Everything was too cold to eat, had to reheat it all. Waste of money, too pissed off to want it after all the hassle. read more

Gone are the days of a good Indian buffet. However, Himalayan Hut's entrees are much tastier than what they offered on their buffet. The menu has a good mix of meat, seafood and vegetarian options, all cooked to perfection with those spices and sauces we love! One of the best Indian in town! read more

First time here, and enjoyed the food very much! Restaurant seems to have lots of room and don't feel crowded at all. Watched LOTS of carry out orders get picked up on a Saturday night. We tried a Nepalese style appetizer that was unknown to us, and loved it. Very tasty and worth trying out! The chicken bin deli was hot and flavorful. Not overwhelming, and the sauce was delicious. The tandoori chicken had a great flavor and nice char on it. Service was good and we didn't have any issues with drink refills. Only problem came at the end when I tried to show the server the "check in" promotion that was listed here on Yelp (now since removed). They would not honor it and said it was fake. That made for an uncomfortable and awkward finish to our evening. I followed up with Yelp and it looks like they contacted the restaurant (who posts the offers) to get it taken down if not honored, but we didn't feel great about being slightly accused of trying to scam them. read more

******************* Food - average tasting Dining environment - simple, clean Service - attentive and polite service provided by kind hard working service staff It's Indian food, from my perspective. The onion nan was good and tasted homemade Nothing else was exceptional including the $12 (!!!) beer. A disappointment overall ~ Not a good value dining experience I'm sorry to say, considering food quality and cost for one person. read more

Himalayan Hut Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Webster Groves, Missouri

Food is good and was packaged nicely. Probably need to figure out the right way to order spicy to get exactly what I'm looking for but was still happy with the quality and portion sizes. Things I've tried: Veggie Pakora & Samosa Paneer Tikka Masala Navaratan Korma Bhiindi Masala Definitely worth giving them a try! read more

I love Indian food and this is a great option. Reviews during covid should mostly be disregarded because it is an exception to the norm. The chicken korma is excellent and the naan is great. There are plenty of lunch specials including Chicken Vindaloo, Aloo Saag, Rice, Naan, Gulab Jamun. All delicious. The naan, which tasted like it just came right out of the oven, with the crispy edges and fluffy insides. Also, this is my first time eating a Gulab Jama that met the standards I was expecting. The food is great and not overpriced, you get a great amount of food. The chicken curry was fantastic. Give it a try! read more

We have ordered for takeout twice. Portions are generous. We love the garlic naan. We are still needing to optimize the spice, as one time we did chicken tikka medium and thought it was too spicy, the other time we ordered mild and it was not spicy enough. The daal and sag paneer are both just OK. Would like to dine in soon! read more

Really good! With another couple and we all really Liked the food. Service was great as well. We had the Korma and Matar Paneer, both vegetarian. They were great! Some Indian restaurants just cannot get the flavors to be right. We samples our friends dishes and again, really good. I think that this place and Saffron Indian are our favorites in town. Definitely check them out. read more

Himalayan Hut in St. Louis, Missouri, provided a tasty meal overall. The food was flavorful, but the Garlic Naan could have been better in terms of texture and taste. The delivery service was prompt and convenient through Door Dash. read more

Himalayan Hut Restaurant - a plate of food and a bowl of sauce - Indian Near Me - Webster Groves, Missouri

We ordered takeout on March 29, 2025 and all 3 dishes were excellent! Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Curry Chicken were all a hit. Asked for extra sauces for dipping their wonderful garlic cheese naan into. This restaurant is a hidden gem! read more

Was excited to try the lunch buffet here but I think during Covid they don't open this option. Hypothetically this is a Nepalese place but I think they served up a lot more Indian food cuisine. - Fried Chicken Momo - I thought a momo was supposed to look more like a Chinese Soup Dumpling but it just looked more like an extremely fried regular dumpling. I didn't think this was particularly special, the skin was kind of thick and the inside was just pork. Would not particularly recommend out of the two that we got. - Lunch Special: Chicken Vindaloo, Aloo Saag, Rice, Naan, Gulab Jamun - At first glance, the dish looks kind of small but after you eat it, you will definitely get very full. I think the main entree's flavor was a little bit too light for my taste, but I did appreciate the naan which tasted like it just came right out of the oven with the crispy edges and fluffy insides. Also, this is my first time eating a Gulab Jaman that I actually liked because usually there's too much seasoning on there that I am unfamiliar with, but this one tasted more like a donut. - Complimentary Papadum with Mint Chutney - I never been to an Indian restaurant before that gave free "bread", I thought this only happened at Italian restaurants. +1 for that and for the delicious fruit chutney that was on the side. Overall, pretty okay Indian restaurant but I did appreciate their complimentary "bread" quite a bit. Come for the naan, the entrees are very okay. read more

Ordered last night, 7/8/23, for delivery through Uber Eats. Food arrived fine but the entire order was horrible. We had chicken vindaloo, saag paneer, and chicken tikka masala. All three dishes lacked any of the protein they were supposed to have. The vindaloo had four small pieces and some potatoes, the tika had one large piece that was dry, and the saag had three small pieces of cheese and nothing more. The veggie samosas were dry and the filling was tasteless. Cannot recommend this place and would suggest avoiding and going to any of the other top tier Indian restaurants in the area instead. read more

Consistent friendly service, consistent tasty meals. This is a true 9/10 restaurant. The only point deducted is the interior, it is dated, HOWEVER, you do Not come to a restaurant for the decor, you come for the food. And the food is worth coming for. Portions are great, too! Not too much, not too little. read more

Himalayan Hut Restaurant - Chicken Tikka Masala (hot) with Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Webster Groves, Missouri

We love the lunch buffet here! Only $10.99 for lunch per person and the staff was super friendly. My toddler loved walking around the buffet with me looking at the different foods and masala Chai dispenser. Speaking of their masala is delish! Couldn't have been slightly spicier/stronger in flavor but I enjoyed the creamy rich tea just the same. Favorites from the buffet options: tandoori chicken, chicken korma, fluffy Naan, rice pudding, cauliflower (aloo Gobi) , and veggies. I also really enjoyed the beef curry which I haven't had at other Indian buffets in the past. They have an array of sauces, yogurt dip (raita), salad, cantaloupe on the side as well and the usual cheese/spinach dish (saag paneer) and chicken Tikka masala. Lots of vegan/gluten-free dishes! Everything was delicious! Even my toddler with picky taste buds enjoyed lots of naan and chicken korma. read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time last night. Definitely will return. Had the Curry Lamb, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan. The food was great , although my 'mild' Curry Lamb was too spicy. If you are a wimp like me then I suggest really emphasizing MILD. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Prices were reasonable. read more

Finally, an Indian restaurant around where I live. I've eaten here about 3 times and the food and service are great! Chicken vindaloo, naan, shrimp byriani and vege somosas is what I have had. Perfectly cooked and spicy. I'll be back for sure!! read more

$12.99 lunch buffet on Saturdays was a draw for me. I love Indian food, and this Indian & Nepalese cuisine was calling my name. The buffet has some familiar Indian dishes like tiki masala, galub juman, and naan but also has some Nepali influence, like the fried rice that was different from Chinese fried rice. It seem to have more seasonings including pepper and more vegetables. They also have hot Chai tea as a part of their buffet price which was nice! They also have a nice salad bar, small like most but still has some fresh salad ingredients. The food was hot and fresh. The environment was nice and clean and the atmosphere was pleasant. I would definitely go back. read more

Wanted Indian food and saw this on Uber. Food was delicious and well packaged. Glad we tried this place!

The food is good but desserts are over priced. This is what a 5$ desert looks like. Basically a condiment. Lol read more

Delicious food, for what I got...but only ordered naan...took a while for my to-go order, but there were a lot of other to orders as well, and at least that lets me also know it was freshly made! I'll update when I get a full meal from there. read more

This place is tucked away in an old strip mall that's been around since Manchester was first paved . There have been other restaurants in its place that weren't so great, but this was a great spot. Lunch Buffett was authentic, hot and very tasty. Service was quick and attentive. I will definitely return. read more

We went to go there for my birthday and there was a sign on the door apologizing because they were closed -- but the closed date was for several days previous. There wasn't a recording on their phone to say that they were going to be closed and it was quite a drive. We ended up going to another place that was excellent. read more

I am not a fan of Indian food, but I was impressed here at Himalayan Hut. I came with a group of friends. Our little group meets monthly as, International Supper Club and they help me push my taste buds to explore and discover new things. Even though we call it, "supper" club on this day we did a lunch. We came to HH for their lunch buffet. The spread was small, but had plenty of offerings for lunch. I'm not normally a buffet person, but all the food was fresh and at a good temperature. I liked it because, I was able to sample a variety of entrees and different sides. It was a great way to educate my taste buds about Indian cuisine. The service was professional. Even with it being a buffet, they made sure we always had full water glasses and the baskets had plenty of pita bread. I'll be back? - I actually think I will. When: February 16, 2019 Why: Lunch with friends read more

Went during lunch! Service was quick and friendly. Food came out really quick and everything was super flavorful. Everything was well priced as well! Only thing that was a little odd was that it was very quiet. I felt as though everyone could hear each other's conversations with no music or structures in place for less sound. read more

We were craving Indian/Nepalese and decided to drive out of the city to try out the sister restaurant to @himalayan yeti in south city. Overall, not bad. The service was a bit on the slow side as they had their focus split between in house guests and Door Dash orders. I've had better lentil soup, but the chicken dishes were well seasoned. The interior is a bit dated, but still comfortable enough. read more

My first time to Himalayan Hut was such a treat! I met up with some Yelp folks for Sarah S's International Supper Club UYE. This place is unassuming, authentic, and delicious Indian cuisine. Upon arriving, I was greeted by someone at the counter. They pointed me towards my friends after I said I was meeting some folks. They accommodated the extra place setting I needed and then I headed to the buffet! One of the first things I noticed was how many gluten free and vegan options. There was obviously a lot of care that went into preparing each dish. In my mind the chicken tikka masala over a plate of rice was my favorite round of food. I loved how savory and sweet it was at the same time. Also loved the chicken korma, naan, and the vegetable medley. After I was completely stuffed, it was nice to sit and enjoy everyone's company. The milk tea was a nice way to complete the meal. It was perfectly balanced, bitter and sweet. It was also perfectly hot for the cold day I visited. Glad to add this spot to my Webster Groves area rotation. read more

Himalayan Hut Restaurant - Milk tea! - Indian Near Me - Webster Groves, Missouri

What a happy, warm, quiet place to go for lunch! We always get the buffet. I don't even recall whether they have menus. Plenty for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Only thing missing is mattar paneer. Oh no, now I'm thinking about their nann. read more

Small, no frills spot for Nepalese/Indian food. Same owner as Himalayan Yeti. Very reasonably priced lunch buffet. Food is higher quality than you see at many Indian lunch buffets. 8.5/10 read more

This place is unassuming but quite good! We had eaten there before Covid, but have been taking away, since. The lamb korma is one of my favorite versions in St. Louis, both nutty and very creamy. I would not know if their sauces are authentic, but they are very consistent. Curry, korma, karahi; they are all really good! The tikki masala sauce does taste like a lightly spiced (since I order mild) tomato soup, but I observe that is true at every similar restaurant I have tried across St. Louis. I love the onion kulcha, but the cheese, garlic and cheese-garlic naans are also yummy. We have tried around the area, about 8 Indian restaurants, to try to find their differences. This one is a winner! read more

Have tried about everything, love the curry's and tandoori the best. Highly recommend the chili naan too. Not inexpensive but really like the food. read more

They don't know how to cook food, seems like they put chicken in tomato soup and call it butter chicken. They claim they sell naan but they give you a kulcha instead. People who don't know what Indian dishes taste like, this is a rip off ! read more

TL:DR - Very solid Indian food. Nothing mind blowing in the realm of Indian food overall though. Prices range from $11-$14 for dinner. Lot parking was busy on weekend evening for the strip mall, overall. Finally had a chance to try this place that opened up down the street. Came in for dinner service and it was very solid. My party of four got butter chicken (x2), lamb vindaloo, and chicken tikka masala (my dish) as well as an order of khreer and garlic naan. I ordered my chicken tikka masala medium spicy, but honestly couldn't tell the difference between that and the mild butter chicken in terms of spiciness or flavor. Regardless, it was really solid, but nothing mind blowing in terms of Indian food overall. The interior was relatively unassuming and dimly lit. It had your typical booths, tables, and bathroom. Everything just kind of screamed, "yeah, ok." The service itself was fine, the only annoyance was that I gave them a coupon for $5 off, and the waitress seemed confused but said she'd honor it and then didn't. Wasn't worth fighting over it, but still annoying. On top of that, the food seemed a bit more expensive than other places, but to be fair I haven't eaten Indian enough recently to remember what Indian dishes typically go for, but the average price was between $11 and $14. There is lot parking, but going in on a Saturday night, the parking lot was PACKED, but the restaurant itself was not. It must have been something else in the strip mall, but I can't really imagine what it'd be.... But this place definitely scratches that itch if you're looking for Indian food and are already in the area, but I probably wouldn't necessarily bring out of towners around unless they want Indian specifically. read more

Another new Indian place opened up recently, and I got to try out the lunch buffet with a couple friends. Solid place, with an okay amount of variety for a 10.99 lunch buffet. The chicken tiki masala was definitely their weak point (at least to our Asian taste buds) in comparison to other places. My personal favorite was the beef curry. Some other Indian buffets will bring you naan bread, theirs was just sitting in the buffet line, so sometimes you can get really fresh ones. read more

Love this place. Great Indian food and they're not afraid to accommodate when you ask for "stoopid spicy."
