So good. Can't wait to go back. The sign still says Indian Kitchen up top so just know that, but the food and service are top notch. Most importantly the food is DELICIOUS!!! YUMMM!!! read more

Really good food, but looks like they are working on phone orders first so if you plan to eat there, be prepared to wait - a lot.

Finally a legit indian restaurant on the windward side! Located at the old india cafe site. Partner is indian and says the food is authentic and delicious. We ordered the chicken tikka wrap, chicken biriyani, and chana masala. All delicious! Ordered spice 6 level which was slightly too spicy for me but perfect for my partner. Will order 5 next time. So happy this place opened! Will definitely be back! read more

Omg delicious!! We just moved to Kailua and we're so glad this was one of our first take out experiences! For my husband and I, we ordered chicken tikka masala and the everest sekuwa (lamb kabob), along with garlic naan and samosas (although they got left out of our order - still 5 stars!). I ordered through DoorDash and picked up, so I wasn't prompted for how spicy we wanted the tikka masala. By itself, it's a 0/10 on spice ... but just a few drops of the enclosed tiny cup of peppery hot sauce and YOWZA and YUMMY!! The lamb kabob was grilled perfectly and so flavorful. I don't know what the stewed vegetables were that came with it, but I could have eaten a bowl of that with rice and been perfectly content. This was WAY more food than my husband and I needed so we now have delicious leftovers! You could take either one of the dishes and split between two people with a side of naan. Great value! I cannot wait to try more of their delicious dishes!! read more

Love it, great food, the owner is super friendly. Really happy that they are in Kailua

Finally some great Indian food in town! So happy we don't have to drive far to enjoy delicious Indian cuisine. Everything was prepared well, staff is friendly and a great value too! read more

The tikka was so sour and bleh. The naan was extremely dry and tough. The only thing that was decent was the chana masala.

These guys went above and beyond the other night when I mistakenly placed my order at the Kaimuki restaurant instead of the Kailua location (I know, stupid move). Not only was he very nice and accommodating, the Kailua location whipped up my food fast. The food itself was awesome, the flavors a curry lover like myself can really appreciate. The lamb was tender and plentisome, not too gamy at all. The portions are generous, we were able to have amazing leftovers numerous times. The spice level was through the roof (got one curry dish 9 out of 10 while our other dishes were 5's, they all tasted like 9's). Seeing that we love spice it wasn't a problem but definitely gonna lower our number system next time. Gonna be back very soon. read more

This place is great. They have wonderful customer service and the food is sooooo good. Be careful on the level of hotness we got a 5 and it was quite spicy. I'd probably get a 3 next time. But even at a 5 the Saag Paneer was bomb! read more

We chanced this as the sign was for the last place. GOOD choice as this place is outstanding. Excellent food, service but kind of small so plan your visit. read more

Great customer service and really authentic and delicious food! I will recommend this place to all my friends and family! Thank you!

Very nice customer service.. food was good.. we enjoyed it.. we'll be returning customer.. yummy

My boyfriend and I ordered takeout from here tonight, it was my first time trying Indian food and it was amazing! There were ton of vegan options for me and he loved the lamb. The staff was super nice and helpful, definitely will be going back! read more

So nice to have a good Indian style curry house back in Kailua and Himalayan Kitchen is a step up in authenticity! Everything is made to order and with care! Love it! read more

Fast, friendly service & incredible butter chicken that was actually spicy. So glad this place is in the area because I was worried there would be nothing like it. read more

The best Indian food on the island the owner always comes out to greet you very friendly service. You never have to worry about being thirsty cuz they fill your glass of water every 5 minutes and I say what I always say I highly recommend this place read more

So great to finally have good Indian food in Kailua. Kinda slow service but worth the wait. Perfect for take out only as there isn't really much space at the restaurant. read more

The sign outside says "India Cafe"...so it's a bit confusing on Yelp to find this place - the receipt says Himalayan Kitchen. Anyway, the service was really wonderful- despite being insanely busy the staff were friendly and helpful with ordering and clarifying the menu options. Take out was pretty quick - they explained when I ordered that it would be 20 minutes, and it was. The food was amazing!! Probably the best Indian I've had. The others that ate w me agreed. I'll be going back for sure. read more

Best Indian food on the windward side! My favorite is the chicken tikka masala...though the samosas and naan are fantastic as well.

Great Nepalese food and pleasant staff. We've been to the Kailua location for dinner four times since they opened and we've always left the restaurant very pleased. read more

Tonight on my way home from work I saw the open sign and but I have not had good Indian food in a while so I stopped. There was a decent amount of people in there waiting for there to go so I thought this was a good sign that it must be good! I asked one of the customers for recommendations. As I ordered the guy behind the counter was so kind and friendly. I only had to wait maybe 5 to 7 minutes for a decent amount of food. I have to say, this is the best Indian food I've had in a really long time. The flavors, spices, presentation was all five star! I will definitely be making this one of my regular stops! If you have not tried it yet, give it a go! read more

The food here was delicious! So flavorful and the service was really good. The man recommended different things and we enjoyed every single item. Only downside is it's a drive from Honolulu but it's worth the trip!! read more

Great food but the actual place is hard to find because the sign says India Cafe. Also it is very small and kind of sad looking. The tables are sticky and the chairs are rickety. Order to go. Also there is no AC and it gets hot inside read more

Sooo delicious and flavorful! Took our kids and they loved it too! Thank you for yummy food on the windward side!!

Delicious food. I just ate here for the first time after they opened. I'll certainly be back for more Himalayan food. Great addition to Kailua. read more

Kailua has been crying for a good Indian/Himalayan restaurant and now it's here. Very small w/ 4 tables so plan on a wait or better yet do take out. Tandoor oven and the naan is great! Lamb was delicious. Hot scale is 1 to 10....w/ haoles who don't mind some heat opted for 4, but when we go back, it'll be 3! Small staff so be prepared to wait but Mohammed held the kitchen for us despite the usual cut off of 8:30 [we got there like 8:32}. Highly recommend read more

We had lunch at their Kailua branch today for the first time. Restaurant space is small but cozy, with additional tables outside. The Jalapeño Garlic Naan bread, Goa shrimp and Baigan Bharta (eggplant dish) were out of this world! Looking forward to trying out rest of the dishes on the menu read more

Amazing place: excellent food! really flavorful dishes, very warm and welcoming service, my whole family just loved this place! Mohamed was the person who helped us, we will always remember his hospitality, he made the whole experience perfect. Thank you again Mohamed! We will be back! read more

This place has delicious Indian food and the owners are incredibly helpful and kind. We will definitely come back! They are located at the old India Cafe location in Kailua. read more

Amazing food run by amazing people. They fused 2 of the curries we liked together and it was so good! Genuinely such good people, thanks!!

I was SO happy to see Himalayan kitchen I'm Kailua! The food was amazing and the service was great. Our little family will be back often! We had the veggie samosas, lamb vindaloo and chicken madras curry with rice and naan. Everything was great. A 5 and 6 on the spice scale was perfect for us! Highly recommend. read more

I've ordered from here about 3 times now and every time I love the food. There is no words to describe how much I've missed Indian food since I've been on this island. I'm extremely happy there's a place that serves actual curry and at Indian levels no less, the spice is well balanced and delicious. I recommend for anyone that loves curry and rice to get the lamb rice at level 10 if you can handle it, then order the curry or your choice and some naan bread. It makes for a wonderful meal and something I would order any day of the week. read more

Great place. I had been the India Cafe restaurant that was in the same location years ago and never felt like going back again. I am so glad that there been a change in management. We had BBQ chicken and vegetable curry with Naan and rice. The food is good. I would go back in a heartbeat. Finally we have a authentic Indian/Nepalese restaurant in Kailua. read more

Killer food, love how you pick your favorite food, pick a heat level from 1 to 10. Love every thing I've tasted. Went 3 times first week I stumbled in there. Ono!!! read more

Excellent service in this tiny restaurant. My wife and I decided to come here because we heard that the old India Cafe had closed and this took its place. To our delight, the food was delicious and the staff was more than friendly. As a frequent consumer of Indian food, I can safely say that I'll be back in the future. read more

WOW, JUST WOW! This is a modest restaurant with IMPECCABLE service! I cannot get over the attention to detail and personal touches, truly out of this world! So happy to have Nepalese/Indian food here in Kailua, it's the perfect fusion of both. The naan was without a doubt the best we've ever had! The Himalayan Chicken was delectable! read more

Amazing! Great food! Highly recommend the Korma & Vindaloo. The Naan was amazing as well. I definitely will be back soon and often!

Everything tastes amazing! I've eaten here twice since they've open and both times were really flavorful. Super excited for this to become a regular spot. read more

Finally got to H-K here in Kailua. I asked about the chicken (thighs or breasts) and server confirmed chicken breast only, so that will make my wife happy. I tested things with an order of chicken vindaloo, spice level 5 (scale 1-10) and a slice of naan bread. The vindaloo was excellent, although next time I will try level 7 for the spice. "5" allowed the taste of the spices but wasn't really hot. Naan bread was large, warm and excellent flavor. As others have noted, very "hole in the wall" when it comes to indoor seating and service, but our usual style will be take-out so no issues for us there. It loses one star because the price to size of serving ratio wasn't as good as one of our other favorite places, where a main course take-out is good for at least two, if not three meals. Maybe I was just hungry, but I polished off all of the vindaloo, the bread and the rice without pushing it. If the meal came with naan included it might be a better bargain. Regardless, this will be our Indian place when that is our craving. read more

excellent, the food was great and lots of it .. nice people .. they ask how spicy i wanted it between 1-10 ,, i went for 8 and it was hot... real Indian food .. going back again today. read more
