Chicken Chicken Tikka Masala Butter Chicken
Lyle R.

Service was great and server was top notch. We got butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. I must say it was the strangest I've ever had. Butter chicken tasted like sloppy Joe's. Just a weird spiced thick tomato paste. The tikka masala was like a thick spiced tomato soup. Neither was terrible but wasn't exactly great. Just very strange in comparison to the 100s of other times we have had these dishes elsewhere.

Was still on the hunt for a good butter chicken and decided to try Himalayan kitchen based off of reviews. I ordered the chili shrimp, butter chicken, samosas and rosemary naan. Now this is the butter chicken I have been looking for: rich in flavor, nice roasted pieces of chicken and a buttery texture. It went so well with the rosemary naan, but my kids devoured most of it so will probably order more naan next time. The samosas are homemade and stuffed with potatoes and peas. They also have Nepali dishes on the menu and some indo Chinese which is difficult to find here. Overall some of the best Indian food I have tried in town.

I've driven past Himalayan Kitchen for years and finally decided to stop in after wondering what kind of food they served. The outside of the building shows its age with some faded menu advertisements, but once inside the restaurant opens up more than I expected. At first it feels small, but past the bar there's a comfortable-sized dining room. Every TV was tuned to the World Cup, which gave the restaurant a fun, energetic atmosphere during my visit. Service was prompt and friendly. My waiter recommended the pork for the momo dumplings and also suggested pairing the meal with one of their Himalayan beers. After reading several Yelp reviews, I ordered the sizzling pork momo, naan, and chicken vindaloo. I also took the beer recommendation, which ended up being a good decision considering I ordered the vindaloo at a 4 out of 5 spice level. The sizzling momo was the standout of the meal. The dumplings were excellent, and the accompanying sauce was flavorful enough that I found myself dipping almost everything into it. The basmati rice was perfectly cooked, and the chicken vindaloo had a nice level of heat without overwhelming the other flavors. The chicken itself was tender and cooked well. Portions were generous, and I ended up with more food than I could comfortably finish by myself. Overall, this was a great first visit. Next time I'll bring my wife so we can share a few different dishes and explore more of the menu.

Came here for a Valentine's lunch and well, can't say I heart it very much. Even the great service and friendly staff were not enough to give this restaurant a future spot on our ethnic food rotation. The Butter Chicken should be a staple in any Indian cuisine, but this one slipped through as merely average. I ordered a spice level 4 of 5, which should have set my sweat glands working overtime, but I could not even taste much spice or flavor. Wifey selected the chef's special and it was anything but special. The pricing is fair and the inside atmosphere is low key, which is what I expected from a shopping center establishment. My recommendation is to add in some authentic spices from the east and have the experience be worthy of the name.

Butter Chicken
Michelle L.

Been wanting to try it and so glad we did. Service was fabulous, they gave some suggestions on menu because I was undecided (I really enjoy Indian food). We went with samosas, garlic edamame, garlic naan, butter chicken and tikki masala both medium. Wowza, spiciest thing I've had in San Antonio that had actual flavor not just heat. Soooo good! Can't wait to try some more menu items next visit, and will turn down the heat so I can eat more.

Garlic Naan
Mariana T.

My husband and I were in the mood for some Indian food and thought we would give this place a shot. As you enter, the decorations and music really set the mood for a wonderful experience. The service was quick and the food was delicious and big portions for the cost. I ordered the chicken curry with mild spice and it was delicious and definitely had a kick to it. My husband ordered the lamb masala (not pictured) with high spice and I felt as it was less spicy than mine but it was also very delicious.

Marie T.

What an experience! We were an extremely large group, yet they accommodated us with ease. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel right at home. Our hostess was warm, charming, and nothing short of amazing. When the food came out, every dish was simply delicious--most of us were full before the last plate even hit the table. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and I only wished I lived closer because I could definitely see myself becoming a regular. My drink was a little sweet for my taste, but everything else was perfect. We also had two vegetarians in our party, and they left just as satisfied as everyone else. Overall, a wonderful dining experience.

Still more menu
Sara M.

The first time I discovered this place I was very impressed. I ordered the Paneer/ Tofu Tikka Masala, which was a huge order. The food was delicious and spicy. I also ordered a Naan bread, to accompany my meal. This was a very good meal and the service was spectacular. Food came out quickly, was the perfect portion, and had great taste. The place is clean and, at the time of our visit, very sedate and quiet. Not too many people, but we arrived at an off time. Prices seemed reasonable. Himalayan kitchen is one of the places that I keep in mind to for a return visit.

Chicken momos
Joanna M.

This location is in a shared plaza with plenty of parking. The exterior is unassuming but the food and service is fantastic at this family owned business. Our server was also the owner and she was great about talking about the food options. We tried the momos and were not disappointed. She explained this is a popular Nepalese street food. The chicken tikka masala sauce was thick and the chicken chunks were good sized. The garlic naan was yummy and my husband really enjoyed his chicken curry. All tbe dishes were flavorful and could be more spicy depending on your preference. I rarely give a 5 but if I could I would give a 6 star, the food was that good.

Chicken special don't remember name
Alexis R.

Phenomenal food, service & a sweet family owned Nepalese restaurant, MUST try! Tripti the owner and her husband were so helpful to recommend dishes to try. Sometimes trying Indian food I get overwhelmed bc I don't know what everything is. She did not steer us wrong! We had the lamb momo, chicken special, and the sizzling grill. Lots of protein and great flavor! I wish we lived here and we could come back! Also their Himalayan beer was good to pair with the heat of the food

Jhol MoMo

Them samosas where the only saving Grace. The mango mojito was too sweet and tasted like syrup. The momos were bland like the sauce and just reminded me of potstickers, they didn't look like the picture they had on the site at all! My husbands plate was a spicy level of 2/5 and felt like a 4. He could eat even half of it. We actually took it home to our babysitter and let her try and she said the same thing! Both of our stomachs hurt after eating here. My husband got the mango lassi. I didn't like it. I was so sad not to like this place!!! I've been wanting to find a Nepalese place ever since I ate it overseas! Plus the waiter was really nice, but it wasn't my favorite and even my super easy going husband said he wouldn't return.

The naan was delicious!
Ivan J.

A great revisit. It's one of our favorite places in town to get naan. It's so good here. The midget had rice again. It was fantastic. We had butter chicken, samosa, the sizzling grill, and garlic/regular/and cheese naan. One of our favorite things here is that when they mean spice, they mean SPICE! We ordered a level up this time, and man we felt it. In a great way though. The rice was great. The naan was amazing as always. All of it was good to great! So why not a bump up this time to a 5?. Well the service was a little lacking this time. Forgotten items, late arrivals. I wasn't too harsh about it, the waitress was trying her hardest to keep up. Oh, and we had dessert for the first time. Wow! Some of the best red velvet I've ever had, and I'm not a fan of it. This was great! As long as you stay away from the pakoras, and order the spice level accordingly to your level, it's great!

Bar R.

Everything was absolutely delicious! Spicy and perfect. You can choose the spice level :) they have raita and great garlic naan. I got paneer :) and I was in heaven. Thank you! Watermelon juice was great too, like a licuado.

Sizzling Pork momo (yummy!!!!)

We ordered the yoshi beef/katsu box which my son loved, two orders of the yoshiya set which was a bowl with a choice of 3 gyoza or 2 vegetable egg rolls and miso soup. We also got takoyaki (so good with big chunks of octopus) and fried squid karaage. The flavors were good, I wasn't too big on the veggie egg rolls, It was lacking filling. I left still a bit hungry, the portions were on the smaller side. Also, the restaurant was really warm. While we ate our food, I was starting to get uncomfortably hot and tried to hurry up and eat so we can get back in the car for the a/c. We will be back, but for to-go next time.

I was iffy because I've tried curry a couple times before and didn't like it because it has a slight sweetness, but I prefer savory and spicy. The girl at the front was so kind, helpful, and honest with my questions. She told me the Chicken Katsu Curry may have a sweetness, but not a super strong one. So I decided to go with it and make it spice level medium so give me what I like and balance the possible sweetness. I chose everything else on my own, but she did comment that the shrimp tempura was really good and she was not lying!! They put some kind of topping on it and it's amazing. For everything I ordered, it was $36. In my opinion, the pricing was incredible. And I drove all the way from here to my home on the northeast side to eat and everything was still hot and crunchy! So I'm thinking it was made fresh. They put my curry on the side so I could add it myself which was smart thinking! They obviously have a great team. Informative, small wait time after I ordered, beautiful inside, but especially a CLEAN inside. I'm not on this side of town often, but when I am... trust; I will be back. Thank you all so so much! Perfection!

I arrived around 2 PM, and the restaurant was mostly empty. The restaurant appeared clean and well maintained. Service was prompt and friendly, although attentiveness tapered off once the meal was served. It seemed like the staff had shifted their focus toward preparing for the evening dinner crowd. After reading several recommendations, I ordered the Saigon Special since it included grilled pork, chicken, shrimp, and a Vietnamese egg roll. It seemed like a great way to sample several of their specialties. I also started with the fresh Vietnamese spring rolls. The spring rolls were enormous and easily large enough to share. The Saigon Special was equally generous, with a substantial portion of vermicelli noodles underneath the grilled meats. Everything tasted fresh, and each protein was cooked well, but none of the individual components really stood out. The meal leaned more toward generous portions and good value than bold or memorable. Overall, it was an enjoyable lunch with friendly service and excellent portion sizes. While I wasn't blown away by the flavors, I appreciated the freshness and value. I'd definitely come back for the pho, which I remember having a flavorful broth and a generous portion of meat on my previous visit. With several good Vietnamese restaurants in the area, though, I'll probably continue trying other spots before making this one a regular stop.

The ones served at Momo House are different than what I had in India, but they were very tasty, and definitely a departure from the traditional dumplings we've come to know through Chinese cuisine. The menu is built to let you pick your protein, followed by the sauce / cooking style. For example, I ordered a dish of chili veggie momos, as well as pan-fried veggie momos. My colleague who was with me had lamb chow mein momos. We were all very happy with our momos. They were less spicy than what I previously experienced but still tasty. I also had a chai, and my colleague had a mango lassi. The chai was fine but could definitely have been spicier / stronger. The second lassi ordered was accidentally served plain, without mango. We didn't make a fuss. The lady at the counter was very friendly and did a good job otherwise. One word of warning about this restaurant: although it has seating, it's not really built to be a cozy restaurant. It's more of a takeout place. Half of the restaurant is a convenience store. The other half is a very utilitarian setup. Behind one of the counters, a man was repairing the wall. It seemed a bit industrial. All that said, the space was clean and the bathrooms were also acceptable. That's definitely a win and should never be taken for granted. If this space can be developed a little more and the chai improved, I think Momo House could deserve a 5 star rating. There's not a lot of competition out there, so it's a very achievable goal!
