Picked up dinner to go. Loved the saag paneer, medium was the perfect spice. I totally walked out without paying, but the staff was so understanding when I called to give my payment info lol. I was able to pay, but really sweet staff!! read more

Fantastic first meal here tonight before a show downtown. The decor was beautiful and the service was great!! I had a lovely glass of Shiraz and my husband had a Dr. Pepper. We shared the Vegetable Pakoras as our appetizer and the Nepali Dal Bhat (vegetarian) as our meal. It also came with a side of naan that tasted freshly baked!! Everything was delicious!! All of the spices, flavors and aromas were spot on!! We even got pistachio ice cream for dessert!! Can't wait to dine here again!! read more

My daughter recommended this to us when we were in SLC recently. She lived in sugar house for 6 years and we trusted her judgment. The food was average at best and I questioned if her taste buds are damaged. Service was pretty good. read more

Still the heavyweight champ chana masala in the valley. Get it spicy with a hot presspot of coffee. The chickpea (I think? the green stuff) naan is my fav read more

The food was very good. I liked that they had lots of different naan types. The lamb naan was so good. Mango laasi was good too. My husband got mild spice and said he appreciated it was actually mild. I got medium spice and it was a little too much for me haha. The bathrooms were a little dirty. My husband felt like the table was a little dirty too. Overall I'd love to go back and try some more food read more

Food and service on point, excellent service Surprised by quality and definitely comparable to other major Indian restaurants from Atlanta and New York read more

Neat little place friendly staff. The vegetable samosa (sp?) Was great. Unfortunately the chicken tandoori was terrible. The chicken was so dry and hard. Way over cooked. Looked nice though. read more

Got this place as a recommendation from a tour guide. It was a perfect spot for lunch. Had a nice cold Kingfisher beer and the meat lovers lunch special. It came with lamb vindaloo, butter chicken, vegetable pakoras with mint chutney, vegetable curry, rice and naan. Everything was delicious. The lamb was so tender and flavorful. Service was great and quick. read more

I'm addicted to the momos! I like the veggie ones in particular. They're always amazing, and I look forward to trying more from their menu! I also really enjoy the chai. Parking can be tricky, but the food and service is solid. It's pretty on the inside as well! read more

We've been twice and I keep forgetting to leave a review. Food is good. Not the best ever, but good. I need to remember what we ate and update my review read more

I enjoyed my lunch at Himalayan kitchen. We were seated immediately and we ordered garlic naan, momos with bison and traditional Nepali goat curry (spicy). Everything was tasty and reasonably priced though it did take them a while (20-30 min) to bring us our food. I have a very high spice tolerance and I thought the spicy level goat curry was very nicely spiced. The decor and staff were nice. If you're looking for some tasty Indian/nepalese food in SLC, look no further. read more

Best Nepalese food in the USA. The tandoori items are amazing and the saag is very good. Their rice is terrible. But everything else is so good that I can almost forgive it. read more

Authentic, flavorful and richly delicious - literally everything we've ever ordered there has been great! Try the MoMos which are their version of a "dumpling" - tasty!!! read more

Himalayan Kitchen is my go to Indian/Nepali restaurant. So many vegetarian options for my spouse and I can enjoy all the meaty goodness. We ordered the onion bhaji for appetizer and dal aloo ko soup. For the main dish, the wifey had the aloo bhindi and I had the goat curry as well has the Kathmandu tandoori. The goat curry was delicious, so tender. I have had tough goat at places but never here. I like the prawn best in the tandoori so probably will order that by itself next time. The aloo bhindi was tasty as usual. The only fail was the soup which did not have any lentils like the description. Would totally give it a 4.5 but this place is better than 4 star so decided to give it a boost. They also won Best Momo and Best Biryani on City Weekly for 2023. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped into SLC to grab dinner to-go on our road trip. So glad we stopped here. The food was amazing. We ordered 3 dishes and Nan bread. I apparently forgot to finish this review but it's been 2 years and I still think about this restaurant so that's a good sign. Would absolutely eat here again. read more

After a week eating fairly bland food, Imwe were yearning for some tasty spicy Indian food and we definitely found it here at The Himalayan Kitchen. Located downtown Salt Lake City and very close to our hotel we ambled fish there with great anticipation. We were not disappointed. The dishes were perfect. We had some tasty pakoras to start with a nice cold Himalayan beer and the had Chicken Curry and Butter Chicken. Both dishes were so flavorful with just the right amount of spices. Our taste buds were restored. The staff were efficient knowledgeable and very helpful. The restaurant exudes Indian Himalayan flair especially with many local people eating there also. Always a great sign to see the diversity of customers. So glad we found this spot. read more

We really loved this place. I ordered dal chicken. My partner had the chilli. And a friend had the chow. With samosas for appetizers. Fast and friendly service. All dishes were exquisite read more

It was my first time trying this place and I went with my new co-workers for lunch. The buffet was a good way to serve the food so people could pick and choose and then go back for more if they wanted. I even left some blank space on my plate in case I needed to try a new food that was brought out after I started eating. We had six people and the table was a perfect size. Some food was better than others, but that is to be expected in a buffet. Overall I would go back again. read more

Service is very friendly. The dining area is comfortable albeit a bit worn out. Lunch buffet was good, but not exceptional. I ate at Saffron Valley the other day for lunch and it was so much better. read more

Absolutely incredible food, quick service! We waited under 15 minutes to get food which is hard to find nowadays. Extremely kind staff who were willing to give suggestions on what is good, the place is super clean and beautifully decorated. Definitely recommend coming here read more

The chicken korma was the best thing at medium heat! The lamb vindaloo was a different sweet flavor that I didn't love. But the Norma had big pieces of chicken and every bite had flavor. Relatively inexpensive. Really tasty. The naan was all good. We got garlic and plain and some with lamb cooked inside it and it tasted like a yummy bread omelette! Great kind service, escpecially as we took a long time to decide. Always filled up our waters. read more

Amazing food. I'm always excited to find Nepalese food when I travel and this didn't disappoint.

We were blown away with how delicious the food was here! I was traveling with my boyfriend and his friends (the group was all Indians excluding me lol) and so we obviously had to eat some Indian food while traveling together. Someone picked out this restaurant for lunch and we were all very satisfied with both the food and the service!! Poonam's birthday was coming up and one of the guys bought a cake for her as a surprise and the server hit it in the fridge until we were ready for it. They later brought out extra plates, forks and a knife and even some candles when it was time to serve the cake. So nice!! As for the food... I didn't order it as we tend to order a bunch of different things and eat them family style so I'm not 100% what all I ate lol BUT I do remember eating saag paneer and paneer possibly paneer tikka masala? Wish I knew more but I will say that these guys tend to be very picky about Indian food and they all enjoyed everything thoroughly!! read more

This place wasn't that good but it wasn't that bad either. I would go back if a friend really wanted to go but wouldn't be my first choice. I love Indian food and this place was kind of bland and lacking in spice. I got extra hot and it was barely mild. My husband got hotter than extra hot and his wasn't spicy either. Overall very ok. read more

Towards the end of a long vacation, our entire group was craving some good Nepali food. The food was excellent... the entrees that we requested as mild for kids were not too spicy and yet very flavorful. And the entrees we ordered for the adults was deliciously spicy, all of us spice lovers thoroughly enjoyed each and every dish. Absolutely loved the Aloo Papri, Goat Curry and Kathmandu Tandoori Platter. We were a large group and while traveling towards SLC when we called in our order as a take out. Surya and Dev were especially helpful. Highly recommend to anyone visiting SLC! read more

Meh. Nothing was awful. Server was friendly. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing? Food was sub par at best. read more

Alright the Yelp reviews do NOT LIE. the food is AMAZING. we ordered the veg pakora and the butter chicken. Both were amazing and the pakora was actually better once it had sat for a bit. The butter chicken was cooked perfectly and medium spice was flavorful but not too hot. Now the service. The service was sadly SO bad. We went on a Wednesday night - thinking it wouldn't be too busy. We waited about 20 minutes to have our order taken once we sat down, then we finished eating and asked for a to go box and the check. We waited for about 25 minutes for someone to come back and help us! We finally just walked up to the hostess at the front to pay because we had a movie to catch. Sadly because of the service I won't be back! read more

I love this place but the portions have gotten smaller and prices up. I was even wiling to spend an extra $5 for more shrimp protein in my favorite coconut curry but was told I would need to buy a whole extra entree for $20. The take out I got was only 4 large prawn that were actually butterflied in 1/2 to look like 8 pieces. The quality of food is great but majority of restaurants have the option of giving you extra protein. Super disappointing. read more

I love love love the methi curry, with lamb. It is curry made with fenugreek leaves. I wasn't expecting to be able to find this dish in SLC but I got lucky and so impressed! I also ordered dal chicken from the Himalayan section. It was ok. Not spectacular like methi curry which I will definitely order again. Note that seating is comfortable but the service is a bit slow. read more

Himalayan Kitchen is downtown near where the old Salt Lake Stock Exchange used to be. I ordered the Himalayan lunch special with butter chicken. It comes with vegetable pakora and veggie coconut curry, naan, and some basmati rice. The inside of this restaurant looks very nice, calming, and very peaceful. This lunch special had a lot of food, so I was able to eat for two lunches! Everything was really good, and the manager/owner who rang me up was also very kind. The food was more on the mild side, and while I like a little more spice, this is definitely an awesome restaurant if you are craving Indian or Nepali food downtown. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu offerings. read more

I'm embarrassed to admit that it took me 26 years to try Indian food, but I'm SO glad that Himalayan Kitchen was where I first tried it (I say that as I sit here for my third time). Himalayan Kitchen is a beautiful restaurant with incredible photography from various places in India and lots of cultural statues & other decor. The restaurant is generally quiet and has a really intimate ambiance. Despite the fact that it's generally never packed, it's got a ton of seating & is extra spacious making it the perfect place for larger groups. I did what most Indian food newbies do, and ordered butter chicken. The butter chicken here is absolutely incredible- the flavor profile is amazing and always perfectly creamy. We've also tried lamb tikka masala and chicken korma both of which were also so flavorful and so unique in their flavor profile. In addition to the entrees we've also tried the traditional naan, assorted meat platter, lamb sekuwa, and cheese naan. Out of all of them we probably enjoyed the lamb sekuwa the most, but have continued to order the other ones as well when we stop by. read more

Still a must go to place. I'm so happy they survived the pandemic and lockdown ect. I heard rumors for awhile they where shutting down and i am sooooo happy to see they didn't. The staff is always A+ and the food is awesome. read more

Himalayan Kitchen is tucked away in a bit of a shady area, right next to a bar and on the corner of a dark alleyway. Surprisingly if you get past all of that, the place was great. The decor and ambiance felt minimal but welcoming. Much of what you might expect from a mom pop restaurant. What was really the seller was the food. It was exactly what I was hoping to get out of those Nepal/India area flavors. I wouldn't have known it was there if not for the amazing aroma it created in the street. The service staff seemed minimal but friendly and what was standard experience of assistance and service. I would recommend to anyone visiting the area for some quick but delicious naan bread and curry. read more

Very good food. Had a veg boti or a thali and it was great portions and food was delicious. Would highly recommend.

We decided to give Himalayan Kitchen another go as we were in downtown and kiddo wanted mango lassi for lunch. We were seated right away. The service was good. Kiddo was hungry and cranky so the server said she will get her the mango lassi first before taking the rest of the order which was very thoughtful. We ordered the veggie platter which came with onion pakora, veg pakora and 1 samosa. This was ok. I would give 3.5 stars. The batter on onion pakora lacked flavor. We ordered malai kofta and cheese naan which was 4 stars. The malai kofta sauce was creamy and flavorful and koftas were soft. The cheese naan was ok. They got the cheese naan out first before the the kofta so it got cold. The entree came with rice. We also ordered chow chow noodles. We had asked it to be mild so the kid can eat some, but it was by no means mild. It was good flavors and we def enjoyed it but the kiddo found it spicy. She was ok with cheese naan and mango lassi. Mango lassi was good too. Overall not a bad choice for nepalese/indian place in downtown slc. read more

Very flavorful food. Enjoyed all the veggies- Chana masala, dal, aloo gobhi, malai kofta, aloo tama bodhi. Naan was fresh and light, aloo paratha was tandoori style and really yummy. Must visit if you are craving Indian or Nepalese food! read more
