    Nepali and Indian cuisine in Chinatown... A refreshing twist in from the usually Asian foods found in the area and why not take a tour and dip into the variety that we're lucky to have here in Hawaii though not the expert in this type of foods as I haven't been in the region or have experience the culture but knew that I'd be in for some spice in my life. This newer shop is more an express rather than the dine in like the other location and is found in Maunakea Marketplace in the heart of Chinatown which makes it easy to access as there are multiple entrances as I found parking right on N King Street so it was just walking through Kekaulike getting there. Thank you Nadine for the suggestion especially Sunday though crowded is free parking so it's a matter of finding the spot which I did so it was a easy stroll and find as it's grouped with other food stalls and the vibe is relaxing with a few tables available so that enjoying your bite is easy in the shaded area versus in the hot sun. I know the volume they so generously portion out so it was just the single plate for me and an easy choice of Butter Chicken along with rice it was a yummy paring and the kind gentleman asked if I wanted vegetables which I did started to prepare some to order and it was nice side along with my meal. The express style is very fast and convenient and though there are some language barrier the staff was so pleasant it's nice to see that many come here to enjoy something that's not usually found in the area. Thank you!

    Brand new Indian Buffet next to Maguro bros in the Maunakea food court. Everything we tried was good but I should have ordered it more spicy. Prices were fair and service was friendly.

    An absolute gem in the heart of Honolulu's Chinatown. Himalayan Kitchen on Maunakea Street is soooo bomb, with the best flavors and so many options!! Every dish had a perfect balance of spices, and the portions were generous. We got the garlic naan, an assortment of yummy sauces, and the mix tandoori - a combination of tandoor chicken, charred shrimp, lamb, and fish that I absolutely adored. If you're in Chinatown, don't miss out on this hidden treasure. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!

    Their closed didn't last to long. Over priced and not very good Indian food. Not the ideal restaurant for downtown area.

    Bombay Palace is now Namaste. We found that out as we stumbled around looking for Bombay Palace…read moreafter our Uber Driver dropped us off. Eventually, we called the restaurant and they told us to look for Namaste. Overall, solid Indian Food. I ordered the Lamb Rogan Josh extra spicy, but it lacked a little heat. We ordered the Butter Chicken Spicy too, but it fell a bit short. That being said, the flavor of both dishes was very good. We both thought the Garlic Naan was perfect! They have wine, prosecco, and beer too. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't offer Indian Beers such as Flying Horse or Taj. I would return, but would probably check out a few of the other options in the area too.

    I am so mixed on this review! The food is good, but I feel like I would do take out if I lived…read morethere. First of all, update your website! The name changed about 10 months ago? I did update Yelp and was shocked no one has done it to this point! Second, you don't serve any Indian beers?? Really! What we did order was very cold and reasonable prices. The ambience is very mediocre and could use an update. I will share it was clean and felt the bathrooms were clean too. The service was very good, and they were busy! We ordered 2 spicy entrees (butter chicken and lamb Rogan Josh) and the spice level in my mind was mild. My husband orders Indian hot and was just a little spicy, so order accordingly. The dishes were good, so if you're in the mood for Indian I would tell you it's good but... If you're jet legged and tired pick it up to go!

    This place was recommended by a family. We tried and we were not disappointed. It was ono!! One of…read morethe best indian food I have tried in the island. We will definitely go back again. Super clean inside. Pleasant waiters, and consistent on always checking on customers. Always refilling water. Even taking away dishes. They don't wait last minute. I really like their service!

    Loved this place!! Servers were very nice. We got the pani puri, lamb vindaloo, and tadka saag…read more The pani puri came with 6 pieces and was a fun crunchy and soft appetizer. Slightly expensive in my opinion. The lamb vindaloo was so good. I am typically not a fan of lamb as I am nervous that it will taste gamey. However, this was perfectly seasoned and had no gamey taste. You are also able to adjust the spice to your tolerance level and we got mild. Although the waiter suggested medium spice for optimal flavor. We wanted to make sure everyone in our party could eat it and enjoy, so they gave us extra spice on the side. The tadka saag was a spinach curry with a splash or cream. We got it with chicken. This was my favorite curry. Very creamy and silky which was similar to the base of palak paneer. We paired all of these with their garlic naan which was the perfect addition. Although on the pricy side, I will be back again for more.
