We were visiting from out of town and chanced upon the place just driving about. Good quality and mouth watering tasty food. They even prepared food according to our requested spice level. Very attentive service. Had a great time with the family. read more

In town for one night, we came across this most wonderful restaurant. It was my husband's birthday and we were not disappointed. Let me start with iced tea, definitely try that, it's like nothing you've ever had. We had the veggie samosas, and yum, yum, yum. Chicken tikka and lamb curry were shared along with basil and garlic naan. Great meal, great atmosphere. Only regret is not trying the momos . Next time! If you're in Rapid City, go! read more

Very friendly staff and overall good experience. They serve halal. We tried the mixed grill and chicken tandoori. The prices are a little high but the portion size are also big. read more

Indian cuisine is always a top choice for me. The food was excellent, however I do feel that the naan is over priced and slightly bland. The chicken tikka masala was very well prepared and tasted exactly how I expected. The atmosphere of the Restauant was dark and dated, however seemed clean - takeout was the option for me. Highly recommend the Himalayan Kitchen if you're in the mood for some bold flavors! read more

Honestly if this was my first time trying Indian food, I would've hated it. I had high hopes since this place had such high reviews but as an Indian food enthusiast thats had it in Asia, California, and various other places as i road-tripped to South Dakota--here's my honest review: - not flavorful. The butter chicken was spicy (I ordered medium) but that was the only flavor. The seasonings are severely lacking and was the first time I had such an unpleasant experience with Indian food. I usually inhale my meal in a second since I love it so much but I actually struggled to continue eating the butter chicken from here. There is no seasoning. The curry was also an odd shade of neon orange.... Like artificial coloring was added. - extremely overpriced. The rice is not as plentiful as another Indian restaurant here in rapid city (it's also a much better restaurant, will never be straying from there again) and you also have to buy naan separately as it's not included. Usually this isn't an issue but with how expensive this place is, you would expect the portion to be larger. Well it's not, so you expect some extra sides. Unfortunately no, the side of rice is actually smaller than most restaurants give. - the lamb samosas usually can't go wrong, but somehow this restaurant does. It's extremely salty. Taking a bite was like breathing in a whole salt shaker. Why in the world do they make it so salty? Hours later after taking a few bites of the samosa the remnants of saltiness are still lingering in my mouth. Bleh. - naan portion is smaller than other restaurants, yet more expensive. - they also don't provide utensils, you have to specifically ask them to. - my husband ordered lamb curry which he absolutely loves from other places. But with this one he didn't even touch it again after the first few bites because of how drenched in oil it is. It's extremely greasy and even just handling the containers has your hands slick with oil. - it gave me food poisoning. I immediately felt off in the middle of the meal, sickly. And now the toilet has become my new home for the past few hours. The amount of oil and grease in the food probably doesn't help. Overall the food here is borderline inedible if you're actually familiar with Indian food. I'm assuming the other reviews have never had Indian food before or usually can't enjoy seasoning/spices in their food anyway so they opt for mild and are fine with it. I personally love Indian food for their spices so this restaurant is severely disappointing. And very true to definition, overpriced. Would never, ever eat here again and I really want to save you from eating here as well because of how disappointed I was. Please, there's much better options here. This is probably the worst one. read more

Service was great. Food was average-- not much flavor. I'm from LA and am used to better Indian food.

We stopped in on a whim, on the way back from mt Rushmore. Food was quite good. I highly recommend..

Delicious food and great service. The smell of food when you walk in is incredible and everything we ordered was amazing. I think my favorite was the tadka daal. read more

I'm passing by this town and wanted to eat good food for dinner. This place came up and I didn't make a mistake in choosing it. The service and food is excellent. I was keen in observing the waiter frequently sanitized his hand with a sanitizing gel when handling money. I work in a hospital environment and we are encouraged to do the same thing all the time. read more

We love this place! We have never had a bad experience and always look forward to our visit...which is quite often. The hardest part is what to order, as all of our selections have been fantastic! read more

This was our second time here. The food is incredible, the portions are generous and the service is excellent. We started with the Lamb Samosa appetizer. So flavorful! I would highly recommend it. My husband ordered the Prawn Biryani and I had the Himalayan Special Kabab. Again, delicious. We both chose the medium level of spice and we may choose the mild next time. We will be returning again! read more

Wow. I have had Indian food in many different cities and in different parts of the world, and the food from this restaurant is some of the best I've ever had. They mastered how to make flavorful food which doesn't feel heavy, at all. I made a special request for the food to be made with very minimal spice, and the food was prepared exactly like that. It was delicious! Further, I requested a delivery, and it was quick, efficient, and the food was still warm. Finally, I'm Indian, so I consider myself an authority on great Indian food. I absolutely recommend. read more

We love our new place in the heart of Rapid City! Very friendly staff and great food!!! Mango chicken was perfect for kids! And mango drink was good too! Must try the goat curry!!! If you are visiting or you are a local just go there try their food!!! read more

Himalayan Kitchen - Indian Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

My husband and I found this place a couple if weeks ago. We we're excited that they had a buffet. It always seems like the other Indian restaurants we go to never have there buffet up when we go. This was excellent! This is our new favorite place to eat on weekends. Great variety of food. It's fresh and tasty! read more

Great food and great staff. Kitchen is efficient and consistently good. I go with a medium+ heat and it's perfect. CTM is spot on and the Veggie Korma is the perfect back up entree. read more

This has been the best food I have had since I got to South Dakota. When we got there for the first time, we were told that they were unable to seat additional guests but are still taking orders for take out. The host was so gracious, apologetic, and enthusiastic. We decided to do take out the and so glad we did! My friend and I both loved our dishes and it was so hot and fresh. Definitely quality food and would recommend to anyone that likes Indo-Nepalese food! read more

Visiting for our first time to Rapid City. We found Indian food which excited us. We ordered kids chicken pops very tasty and the kids loved them. We ordered the Kathmandu naan it was sweet and filling. Would recommend it over the Garlic naan as a great alternative. For our main meal we ordered the mango chicken, lamb Marsala and Vegetable korma. All were good and worth having again. I especially enjoyed the vegetable korma and filled myself and still had left overs the the next day. read more

We have been to the Himalayan Kitchen a couple times and have not been disappointed yet. It is nice to see unique places like this showing up. Highly recommend giving them a try! read more

I'm no expert on Indian or Nepalese food, but this place far exceeded my expectations. It was delicious! Meals are a little expensive, but portions are big enough to share. I'll definitely be a regular customer. read more

We went to Mount Rushmore stopped at this place , excellent service, food was amazing I would recommend to stop here for best India/ Nepalese food read more

My husband and I had been on the road for several days and I was sick of fast food and diner food. Found this spot not far from our hotel and were so glad we went! The lunch buffet was delicious and fairly priced. They had a nice variety of dishes on the buffet and we ordered the garlic naan which was perfect. They even offered my daughter a complimentary mango lassi drink. My daughter, who is 1.5 years old, found it quite tasty. The staff was pleasant and attentive. If we were staying in the area longer we would definitely be coming back. read more

Okay for the startup. The place are cozy but little more high on the spicy side. Service tops down average, the food pace not wilding out

The saag and garlic naan were delicious. Chicken tikka masala was a bit too creamy/heavy and could have benefited from a tad more sweet. The yellow lentils were a tad watery. But we're really picky and still thought dinner was quite good, amongst the beat options in Rapid City, SD. read more

Delicious food and great value. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were friendly. Would recommend!

This place is a jem in the Black Hills. They offer unique options from multiple regions of India. We had 2 dishes and ordered medium spicy, incredible taste and just enough spice to make the nose a little runny. The garlic Naan is generous in portion and the whole place was beautiful. Highly recommend and will be stopping again on our next travels. read more

Best Indian food in Rapid City! Great service and wonderful people! The vegetarian meals were yummy!!!

THE best in town!!!! We are locals and this is the only place we eat in town. The service is impeccable and the food is amazing! We won't eat anywhere else! I have tried multiple dishes and they are all my favorites. My husband only eats the prawn kadai. We just love it all!! read more

We didn't know what kind of food to expect coming through Rapid City, but were blown away by the incredible smells & flavors at this restaurant! The owner is so kind, and the passion for his culture shines through in the dishes. We absolutely recommend coming here for a meal (or six). Next time we pass by, we will be eating here - and will order 2 of the Coconut Korma dishes! read more

Lamb Was Sooo Good And Spicy , We Also Had Chicken So Yummy ,I Am Sure To Eat Here A Lot

I have only taken out, so I can't comment about the service, except to say that they said fifteen minutes and it was ready when I arrived. The food was delicious. They have a wide variety of Naan bread, but the bread itself was the best in town. I went with Tikka and the spice was perfect. I would highly recommend the Himalayan Kitchen. read more

Excellent Indian and Nepalese cuisine. Went here to try something different and was not disappointed. Ordered a skillet dish, was the perfect level of spice and paired well with some naan and Indian beer. The wait staff was very courteous. I enjoyed speaking with the owner who is originally from Nepal and is excited to bring his local cuisine to a new area. He was also open to feedback (I had no criticisms to offer), as it is a relatively new restaurant. Will definitely go back in the future. read more

Love this place! We usually get it delivered though, and it's very worth it! The cherry naan is so good!

Been noticing a fair number of cars at this newly re-opened 8th Street restaurant so we decided to check it out at lunch. We were pleasantly surprised it was busy but the wait staff was knowledgeable and attentive. All inclusive lunch buffet was extremely tasty and exotic. The buffet was accompanied by nan and chai tea. Everything was delicious and it was nice to be in such a warm and friendly place. I love exotic food but even for a newbie, this place is worth checking out. Can't wait to come back for dinner as their menu looks compelling. read more

We stopped by for late lunch/early dinner around 4:30 pm and the food was nice. We liked the Biryani, Chicken Tikka and the Naans(Indian bread). Must visit in this area if you like Indian delicacies read more

We both saw the billboard at the same time. Himalayan food? In Rapid City? During rally week when most of the food around here is fried or layered in a bun? This place blew us away. The service was great. We recommend the Samosa Chat and the Chicken Saab. Medium heat was perfect. We got 2 entrees and had to take half of it with us. Fabulous with five stars! read more

Great food so happy they opened on 8th Street.. try the Samosa Chat simply amazing !!! We loved our food

Absolutely excellent. We had take out curry chicken, mango chicken and garlic naan. Best overall I have ever had and the portions were large. read more

It is the best restaurant in Rapid City. Extremely delicious food, and people there are sincere and modest!

Everyone that works here has a good heart and treats all costumers with respect. The food is amazing and the dessert is awesome too!

Service was ok. For the price of a buffet I would expect more I won't go back or waste my money.
