Came here for dinner last night at the suggestion of our guide from white water rafting. Food was really good and server was friendly. Was pretty busy when we were there. read more

I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala. What I received is as far from Chicken Tikka Masala as I could imagine. It is of poor quality and has none of the flavors of Chicken Tikka Masala. It had chicken in it and a sauce but beyond that it is wholly unlike chicken tikka masala. read more

I really wanted to like this place. We chose it for our date night in Durango and were so excited to try the Yak Stew. We also got the Sherpa Stew. It was busy when we got there, so we ordered beer with some papadam to take the edge off our hunger. Unfortunately, it took 40 minutes to get our meals, which was after two tables who were sat after us got their food...and finished it! There was no checking on us, explanation for the long wait, nothing. My husband finally had to get our server to look into it, and we then got our dishes in a few minutes. Even though the food was good our experience was ruined. A shame, but I can't say I would go back or recommend. read more

It wasn't bad. It's wasn't great. Just ok. We did take out. The portions were on the smaller side for chicken tiki masala and mutter paneer. Also, very little spice to the dishes. We went there on the recommendation of a local resident who raved about how good it was. My advice, order the food with more spice/heat or go somewhere else for dinner. read more

We were in Durango for the afternoon and decided to try the Himalayan Kitchen for lunch. We've had Nepalese food previously and enjoyed it. Our service was good. We were seated immediately, orders taken promptly, checked in on, and bill brought and picked up in a timely fashion. The restaurant was clean and the ambiance inviting. The meal began well. We started with samosas and garlic naan. I thought the flavors and textures of both of these were excellent. Things went downhill with our entrees. I saw yak on the menu and had to order that. My partner had salmon. My first couple of bites of yak were super tender. The rest were chewy and unpleasant. But the real issue was how bland it was. Where were those secret spices? My partner felt the same about his salmon. Incredibly bland. Where was the flavor? Did they forget the salt? The spices? We both left pretty disappointed. read more

YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS OUT! I have lived in SW Colorado for many years now and I never knew about this fabulous restaurant in Durango. We have been there a couple times now. Downtown on Main St. Their food is just amazing. The staff is very friendly and pleasing. Pictures on the walls of their Homeland are so interesting. We will always be going back to the Himalayan Kitchen. read more

AMAZING food. We ordered takeout. we tried the Sherpa Stew - a thick and rich stew with a wonderful assortment of meats, and vegetables. this was one of the hardiest stews i have ever had. we also had Indian dishes which were prepared to order and were spot on. I tried the yak meatballs which were in a slightly sweet sauce - really nice flavor. This is a highly recommend spot! read more

We ordered the lunch special and the yak stew. The food was delicious...all of it, but the saag paneer was especially good! It was reasonably priced, especially the lunch special. Attentive service. We will definitely return. read more

First time here. I was with a group, and had to order quickly. I saw the Lunch Combo (Non-Vegetarian) option so I ordered that. On the menu it is called the non-vegetarian option, but when I said that, the waiter paused, then asked me if I wanted the chicken combo. I thought that was pretty funny. I said yes and was amazed at how much food I received for a lunch option. It was absolutely delicious. I will be going here again. so much more food to try. read more

Himalayan Kitchen - Lunch combo (Non-Vegetarian) - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Lovely restaurant and lovely meal! We arrived a little after opening on a Wednesday evening and were immediately shown to a corner table by the window. The restaurant was bright and clean with a full bar near the middle. Our server answered all of our questions, and our food came to the table quickly. My cousin and I each ordered the Himalayan Special Chow-Chow from the specialties menu. We both loved it--it was loaded with chicken, vegetables and just-right noodles. Our servings were so big we could have easily shared one order. She also ordered their secret recipe house iced tea, and loved that, too. I got a glass of reasonably-priced house chardonnay that went well with our noodles. At the Durango Welcome Center, you can find a 50% off coupon and a 10% coupon for their lunch buffet. We took advantage of the 50% coupon, but the prices were reasonable, even without it. read more

I knew from the instant I stepped in the door Id found the right spot: This place smells INCREDIBLE! It set a super high bar that the food followed through on. The Sankhuwa Machha was simply amazing. I highly recommend the salmon. We came back the next night and I had the yak meatballs that may have changed my life. They also have an excellent craft beer selection which I very much appreciated. You can't go wrong, and the wait staff does an excellent job of helping you navigate the menu. read more

Food was wonderful! We had the chicken saag and the lamb vindaloo. Both dishes were delicious. The service and prices were excellent! Highly recommend if passing through or in Durango read more

Came here with my husband on a Tuesday night around 6:15pm, and they were packed. We waited about 20 minutes for a table. In general, I felt like the service was a little slow. However, our server and the bussers were nice. I started with a hot mug of chai, which was perfect on a cold evening. Not to sweet, which I liked. For food, I got the Aloo Gobi Tarkari from the vegan selection. There were 3 vegan, and 3 vegetarian options. This dish was made with cauliflower and potatoes, in a mild sauce, served over white rice. I liked this dish, but not my favorite thing I've ever had. Next time I would try the saag paneer or Annapurna tofu. My husband got one of the specials, which came with chicken, lamb, and shrimp served over onions. He liked it a lot, since he is a carnivore at heart. We also got a side of garlic naan to split. There was some anise seeds in the naan, which I wasn't used to, and wasn't exactly my taste. For the price, I thought the portions were on the small side. Overall, I would come here again and try another dish. read more

Food review for Himalayan kitchen By Vincent Camire (age 11) Himalayan kitchen is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Durango. It serves extremely homey food and it is fun to eat there. They make some of the best chicken I've ever had and the sauce for their saag is delicious especially when you put it on the buttered naan. Another thing I recommend getting is the Mixed grill platter. It has everything that you want to get at this restaurant, including the delicious chicken and lamb. There is nothing bad to say about this restaurant. For dessert I recommend getting a mango lassi. Himalayan kitchen has that homey mountain feeling that all of us love about Colorado. I haven't been able to fully explore the menu of Himalayan kitchen, but I want to because the food is delicious and I hope you go there and support their business, because it's some of the best food that I've had really ever. The service is also fantastic! read more

Great food and very friendly staff. We love eating there. They play Indian music and the decor is very cool

Waited over an hour for food, staff wasn't respectful, didn't try to make up for the mistakes

We ordered the Vegetable Korma and Aloo Gobi Tarkari for lunch. Not very impressed. We know what good Himalyan and Indian food tastes like. Vegetable Korma was the most bland dish; no unique flavor. It had an okay array of vegetables and was not nutty, despite the warning. Overall boring and somewhat tasteless. Aloo Gobi Tarkari had decent flavor, a little spicy, interesting flavor overall. But it was ruined by salt. Too salty. People who already eat lots of salt may not notice or care. Potato was virtually non-existent. Just cauliflower and sauce. Will not go back and spend my money their again. read more

good flavorful indian food. good service. not much else to say. i would eat here again next time I visit Durango.

Excelente food! This was last on my list of places to eat...I reluctantly followed my wife and was pleasantly surprised. read more

Absolute favorite spot in Durango. Anytime we come from phoenix we eat here as much as we can. The food is delicious! If your not sure what to get here are some fantastic options: starters: mo-mo, papadam. Entrees: mixed grill platter, Tikka Masala, Korma. Always add a side of Naan bread. The flavor of spices they use are delicious. Never a disappointment. read more

We have eaten here several times, having different items each time. Everything we have tried is delicious & fairly priced. The staff is attentive and friendly. This is one of our favorite places to eat in La Plata county. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the combo lunch special and the ambience. Service was expedient.

I've been here twice while traveling to Durango and I've had very good experiences both times. I appreciate the variety dishes, particularly the vegan and vegetarian options. They also have a fun selection of beverages, including teas, lassis, cocktails, wine and beer. I am obsessed with their house made chai latte. The second time I returned it was almost exclusively because of the chai. The food is very good and the service is prompt. The staff is friendly and made sure my water glass was always full. I would not say the inside is upscale or fancy, but it is comfortable and welcoming. I'm looking forward to bringing my husband next time he's in town with me as well! read more

The food was SO delicious. The sherpa stew is a must have. We've never had it before and were absolutely astounded by how flavorful and wholesome it was. Yes there was a wait but it was worth it. We paired it with a spicy tofu dish which made a great combo. An epic dining experience. read more

Loved the black molk tea, lamb saag, nepal baat. Awsome meal. Service was also spot on.

Himalayan Kitchen was recommended to us by a local artist at 9318 Collective, in Silverton, and it was a terrific recommendation! The food was absolutely fantastic! We ordered the mo-mo and Yaksha Thenthuk as starters and they were delicious. The dipping sauce that was paired with the mo-mo was packed with yummy spices. It was our first time trying yak meat and we weren't disappointed. This authentic Tibetan dish was savory and flavorful! It was reminiscent of a pot roast. For dinner, we ordered lamb tikka masala. It was a great ending to a perfect meal. Well balanced and filling. The service was phenomenal! The restaurant was packed, and the host was able to find the perfect table for us. We were enamored by the decor and the history it told of this family's journey. We would highly recommend the Himalayan Kitchen, and supporting the extraordinary work they do in the world! read more

Sumptuous. We did not have high expectations for South Asian/Asian cuisine in Durango coming from Houston, but this place is so good we may have to come back just to eat here again. The Annapurna shrimp is a unique, spicy dry dish. We ate all the shrimp but still saved the remaining sauce to eat at home with rice. read more

Himalayan Kitchen - 1st page of menu which is also conveniently on the table under the table top glass - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Durango, Colorado

My partner and I were in Durango for vacation and looked for a restaurant that could offer vegan/vegetarian dinner options for me and meat for my carnivorous partner. The Himalayan Kitchen looked like it would meet our needs, and it did. Positives: The building is on the historic side, so the space has character. Himalayan Kitchen has an extensive menu, which means diners of all types have many options. The food smells, looks, and tastes good. I ordered vegetable korma, and my partner selected the yaksha thenthuk. The seasoning/heat met our expectations, and the portions were plentiful. Negatives: We arrived at 8 pm, and it took about 5 minutes for a staff member to see us and a few minutes more to seat us. We could have been offered open seats at the bar, but the hostess put us at a table near the back where other diners had stored their stroller. She was not particularly friendly or apologetic. Fast forward 10 more minutes before anyone stopped by to offer water, and another 5 or so minutes before a business-like waiter took our order. After our food arrived, we did not see our waiter again. The staff member who filled our water periodically also took care of our check. We would eat here again because of the flavorful food/options, but we would plan for the slow service. read more

Food is damn good here. We took starters sampler and chicken biryani along with couple of beers. Sampler was too good. Biryani taste good but not so authentic. Can only rate 3/5 for biryani. Little over priced. But still worth visit when you are craving for good desi food. read more
