Himalayan Kitchen - Cheesy Naan, garlic Naan plain Naan. Lamb Tikka Masala and butter chicken - Indian Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

The food was delicious! We don't eat Indian/Nepalese cuisine often so I'm always kindly reminded how much flavor is packed into their dishes. We got the Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Mango Kids Favorite and Tandoori Chicken, and they were all good. We ordered online and scheduled to pick up when we arrived in town. The food was ready and hot when we arrived. From my quick in-and-out, it looked like a nice place to dine in. Give them a visit while you're in Rapid City! read more

One of the best restaurants I've eaten here living in South Dakota. Their menu items are incredible; so many options to choose from, but my favorite of all time is their chicken butter and garlic basil naan. Customer service is incredible, they're nice to all their customers and they don't take long to bring your food out. I highly recommend eating there for lunch and dinner. read more

Despite asking for medium spice level, everything was very spicy. First time I saw thin water like gravy for paneer kadhai. They messed up our order, missed garlic basil nan, also rotis were burnet out black. read more

The food is amazing! We went to South Dakota to travel and ate there once and have been missing the taste ever since. We went to lots of Napel and india restaurants in the Bay Area too but none of them are even close. For example the tandoori chicken, here uses a smaller chicken, super tender and flavorful, we enjoyed it eating without any sauce. Normal Indian restaurants have tat chicken so big and not much flavor. Not to mention a few other dishes: you have to try the nann basket with the cherry coconut filling one. Too good. read more

We stumbled into Himalayan Kitchen Cuisine after a long day jeeping in the Black Hills of South Dakota. When we stopped for gas, we looked up and there it was, this Indian restaurant. Yippee. We went in, ordered Indian beer and Ora one of everything on the menu. Omg! So very delicious. Everything!! We had leftovers for 2-days. Thank you so much. We enjoyed every morsel We'll definitely be back read more

Mouth watering lamb rogan , delicious butter chicken and chicken tandoori. We also order garlic nun and paneer pakora all food are great and well seasoned. Please don't order very hot one like l did . It was great for me but if you don't like hot or spicy order mild . All food served with basmati rice. I can't believed it I found great Nepal / Indian restaurant in Rapid city South Dakota . read more

The staff were super friendly, and very knowledgeable with gluten free and dairy free options. Serving portions are large and can be shared family style. I've had Indian food and the spices used in these dishes were different, but in a good way. My favorite part of the whole meal was the vegetarian Samosas (not gf). They were filled with peas, potatoes and herbs, which came with 2 dipping sauces, mint and tamarind. My favorite sauce was the tamarind. You must try these delicious pockets! The food had great flavor, however the Chicken Biryani was too spicy, we ordered medium heat. I like some kick to my food, but my nose was watering and mouth was on fire, making it hard to enjoy my meal. I recommend going mild, and if it's not spicy enough, ask for some more spicy sauce to add to your dish. Another thing to note, you will get a mixture of dark and white meat when ordering the chicken biryani. We ended our meal with some traditional Nepalese desserts. Rice pudding & mango ice cream (sorbet). Both great choices but totally different. If you're more of a fruity person, go with the ice cream. The mango is FRESH. read more

Amazing food and service. Just had vegetarian- I do that every 20 years or so... Yellow lentil daal was very good. Panneer dipped in garbanzo flour and fried was super tasty with the mint and the tamarind sauces. Onion kulcha was over the top fantastic, Service was gracious and relaxed. You must eat here. Next time I want to try the meat dishes on their huge menu. read more

Unexpectedly delicious Indian and Nepali food! The service was fantastic, the prices were more than reasonable for the amount of food we got, and we asked for spicy food and actually got spicy! :) I had the mushroom mutter and my husband had lamb curry. The rice was perfect and so was the naan! I wish we were going to be in town longer so that we could try more of the dishes. Yum! read more

Best Indian food I've ever had - and I'm from a real city. Tandoori chicken superb. Samosas superb. Everything else excellent. They need better beer - only had Taj Mahal, Bud (I think?) and Fat Tire. I drank Fat Tire. "Mild plus" was pretty hot. Not a white guy level of mild. I thought I liked things fairly spicy but this was plenty spicy for me - as spicy as I'd want it. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Naan was burnt and paneer was rubbery and inedible, they wouldn't let me swap for something else. We also both asked for the spiciest level in our dishes and it was bland and watered down tasting. Told us we'd have to still pay for it and pay for another entree if I wanted a different option. Will never be going back. read more

Only had chicken tikka masala and garlic naan take out, however both were very good. The tikka masala was flavorful and perfectly spicy. The chicken was tender. The naan was moist and loaded with garlic. The take out containers were well packed (no leaks) and the food was piping hot. Restaurant was clean and the service was friendly. Great dining experience all around. read more

5 stars for the spice level. Asked them to kick it up and they did. Veggie curry was wonderful. Ordered extra garlic naan and it was enough for two people to share. Demerits for the staff not wearing masks. read more

Delicious samosas and naan. Sag paneer had nice spice but cheese was tough and chewy and goat was way too tough read more

Himalayan Kitchen - Sag Paneer, Butter Naan and Goat Curry - Indian Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

Food was very good. Comfortable ambiance. Service was great - very attentive. Chicken tiki Marsala and garlic naan was delicious.

I've been in this building MANY times. It was my favorite childhood Chinese place. Once it became Himalayan kitchen they didn't change from Hunans and I wish it'd never changed. The food flavor drops and isn't that depth of flavor it typically in within this cuisine. Not to mention the MASSIVE cuts of veggies (not that I'm really complaning about the size but still, a literal tree?) I don't have a picture as this time I stayed home and ordered pick up which is really really lacking. $15 for veg curry for bland, uninviting meh, with just plain (no [censored]) basmati rice. Just disappointed. Also I've notice a few reviews about people eating the naan. It is not vegan. They make it with lactose free milk but their brand is not a plant milk. This is still cows milk but reduced lactose to avoid the allergen. And the worst part is that towards the end of my meal I found a cube of their house made paneer. read more

This the best Indian food we've had in years. Hands down. My family of five was in Rapid City to visit the parks. We needed some takeout and decided to try out Himalayan. We had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Vindaloo, Lamb Samosa, Butter Chicken, and Naan. All were incredible. We're only here for three days, but are already thinking of getting it again! read more

We love Indian food and this place has amazing food and exceptional service. We love coming here for dine in and take out!

We had been driving down from Montana for 4 hours, were hungry and were searching for an Indian restaurant. We picked this one as it had 4.3 star ratings. We decided o have a thali (it's a plate with an assortment of menu items) and asked the lady serving us what would we get? She told us that we would get two curries, 1 roti, rice, poppadam and 1 dessert. Then she asked us if we would like 1 or 2 roti - my husband asked for two assuming that since it is included, she was asking how many. Then when it was time to pay at the counter the person says roti is NOT included in the thali meal! He calls the lady who was serving us and she denies having said roti was included! Now he says it was a miscommunication and apologizes but still insists that she did NOT say roti was included. What ever happened to "Customer is always right"? He went ahead and charged us for the rotis.....any other place would NOT have charged for the rotis! The whole meal was mediocre at best and we paid $62.50 - the worst experience and service ever! read more

They make the BEST veggie samosas I've ever had. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Biryani were also great. Best Indian option in Rapid City!

The medium level of spice is a bit too spicy for this Midwestern white girl. Very good chai tea. Very good naan. The chicken Tikka was great although smaller pieces of chicken would have been good. No current buffet. Expect around twenty bucks per person at lunch. read more

Never judge a restaurant by the outside!! Food was flavorful, portion sizes were perfect, and drinks were unique and affordable. Highly recommend the garlic basil naan and any of the meals. Husband would not stop talking about the flavors and spices of the Tandoori Himalayan Mix, medium was very spicy and he now has the meat sweats! Great prices and service was exceptional. Do not miss out on this gem in Rapid City!!! read more

We were stopping through Rapid City on a cross-country drive west and did NOT expect to find food of this quality in the city. We ordered takeout and got the Baingan Bharta and Saag Paneer and both were SUPER delicious. The guy who was at the desk, I think the manager, was very friendly as well. We were so impressed! Definitely take note that they are series about their spice levels - if you order something at a spice level of 8 or above, be ready to take the heat! read more

Good food little expensive got some rice pudding to go. They want 30 words so blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. read more

Great option for the area. WiFi is so fast thought I was back home. If you feel like indian this place hits the spot. Samos chat was great. Service was amazing We ordered off the menu and food was amazing and to all our liking. read more

This spot is delicious! Service is outstanding. The food is delicious. Is so nice to have a Family meal in a nice restaurant. The chicken in Mango sauce was super! We definitely will visit again! read more

Himalayan Kitchen - Chicken and lamb tandoori. - Indian Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

We thought we'd give this place a shot after staying in the area for one night on our road trip to Washington. It got great reviews so we figured it could be yummy! Yelp has yet to steer us wrong because this place was amazing! Fast and friendly service and the portions are big! As a vegetarian I got the veggie curry that was SUPER tasty, my dad got the tandoori chicken, and an order of naan for the table. We probably could have gone without the naan since both dishes came with rice PLUS the chicken came with lentils. Everything was beyond tasty and well seasoned. Plus, free parking. Who would've known SoDak would have great Himalayan food!! Highly recommend this place!! read more

When you first walk inside you see a small award/ placard that says "Best in rapid 2021". In short, the sign doesn't lie. The place had a warm cozy atmosphere that hits you when you first walk in. The staff and the service was inviting and attentive. The food, served family style, was a nice balance of spicy and flavorful. I highly recommend getting something saucy like butter chicken to go with their rice and side of their freshly baked naan bread which is to die for. Don't sleep on it, if this is your first time trying this type of food, do it, do it now. read more

Really good food! The menu has the traditional Indian food plus the Himalayan dishes (many vegetarian options). Prices are reasonable and the taste is pretty good. While I was there, there we 3 other tables taken but the host placed us in a table with proper social distancing. Give it a try! It is a good option. read more

We had actually ordered delivery from another restaurant and they never showed so we decided that we would order pickup from the Himalayan Kitchen. everyone was super glad we did! I'm a fan of butter chicken and this place really did it right! It was perfect. this place ain't messing around with spices. they poured it on! We ordered the chicken and shrimp medium and they set us on fire. The fried vegetables were great but the sauce was really the Star! Sweet and tangy.....yum! The naan was homemade and every piece was heaven. It helped cut the heat from the other dishes. If you order spicy anything from here do so at your own risk. This will be a regular stop for me in the future....made me sooooo happy read more

We love this place! Marsala Chicken is excellent. Good service, kind attentive staff, reasonable prices.

Butter chicken is my favorite (yes, I know it's basic, but I love it). They'll make it to your spice-level liking, and it has always been great. Sometimes chicken in dishes like this can be tough or over cooked, but that's never been the case for anything I've ordered at HK. The dumplings are interesting...I ordered them when getting takeout one time, sight unseen. They are basically a large potsticker but the filling is classic Indian/Nepalese flavors. Very good, but not my favorite. Service is always quick! read more

Definitely you won't be disappointed. Strongly suggested. In addition to the extremely tasty food, the mango lassi was very good also. We need to travel to next place, but if we come back in the future, we will come this restaurant. read more

Himalayan Kitchen - Okra Bhindi Masala and Lamb Tikka Masala Both soooo good!! - Indian Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

Did a carry out while visiting Rapid City from Iowa. We checked ratings online for the top three Indian restaurants (actually, all run by Nepalese so not technically Indian) and Himalayan had highest rating. Ordered over the phone after reading their expansive menu items and I must say that the Rapid city residents have no idea how India/Mughalai food tastes to give 5 stars to this pathetic food! Who the heck adds curry to Kadai chicken (see attached picture from the trash can)?? We dumped, literally dumped pretty much the whole food except Garlic Naan (Bread). There is no taste, absolutely no taste of the food. Owner and the cook, at the minimum, should eat one of the frozen/packed Indian food items that are sold at costco or whole food Asian market section, even the Walmart sold Indian dishes taste thousand times better. They should just say it's a Nepalese restaurant and not spoil Indian food image. Trash food! read more

Traveled from out of town (Chicago) and ended up here for an amazing authentic Nepalese meal! We've tried many highly rated spots in Chicago and thought this was better than them! Keep in mind this is authentic so if you order "spicy" they mean it! I think "medium" may be considered spicy for a lot of folks ... but we loved our spicy meal! Thank you for the great experience! read more

We arrived in Rapid City on the Thursday before the 4th of July weekend and had Himalayan Kitchen on our To Do List. We had an amazing meal of Lamb Curry and Lamb Vindaloo. The spinach naan was also crisp and flavorful. The owner seated us and had incredible pride in his food. We were so impressed that we made plans for a return visit on Saturday night . Lamb curry again but also lamb tikka masala. We loved every bite! We have so enjoyed the sites and hiking of this area BUT we would return in a heartbeat to dine at Himalayan Kitchen. read more

Being vegetarian and from India this place is really good. We ordered Malai Kofta, Paneer Kadai, Tandoori Roti and Dal Tadka. Everything tasted great especially Malai Kofta, it was best of all, will surely go back to this restaurant. read more

We always live Himalayan kitchen. We get takeout and is a family favorite. Butter chicken and The garlic Naan are a great combo.
