    Garlic Tikka Fries

    One of the best restaurants in Marin! We went here for the first time tonight and were amazed. Heard about this restaurant through YELP and other social arenas --- so much positive buzz that we decided to give it a try. Fantastic service and superb food in a comfy and relaxed setting. We were offered a delicious complimentary soup. We then proceeded to order the following for 3 people: Garlic Tikka Fries Momo Platter [fried] Butter Chicken Shrimp Curry Basmati Rice Garlic Naan This is how food must taste in Heaven. OMG, no joke! Every dish was smackin' and delicious. Fresh, hand-made, and made to perfection. Himalayan Kitchen gives big portions too and we couldn't finish it all so put it in a to-go container. Friendly Service throughout the meal was more than you can ask for. Water was re-filled promptly, dishes removed, old plates changed out --- all without having to asking. Really great service! Service and food were dialed up to Eleven! I wish I could give more than 5-stars. Himalayan Kitchen is deserving of 10-stars! Seriously, my new favorite restaurant in Marin. We can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommended!

    Rich butter chicken!

    For starters- their welcome and hospitality was amazing. It reminded us of a place we always eat in, in Tahoe. Every single dish we ordered tasted excellent. Very well cooked, automatic and well seasoned. My kids enjoyed their food. The fact that they kept checking on us to see to see if we needed anything. The serving servings were big and a lot. A very friendly environment and very friendly people. I am glad we found this place.

    So glad to find Himalayan Kitchen in San Rafael! My husband and I are big fans of Himalayan or Nepalese foods, and we thought everything here was flavorful and well made. We ordered two lunch specials, Baingan Bartha and Aloo Cauli. We also got the veggie momos. The presentation was great and the portions were good. The decor is charming, and the service was fast and friendly. One thing that could be improved is the salad that comes with the lunch special, it was just mixed greens and a few strips of cucumber. There wasn't any vegan dressing option, so we had it with olive oil and vinegar. We plan to come again and try more menu items.

    Butter chicken lunch special.

    Lunch specials are VERY special So much food! Lentil soup best in years, papadam so light, salad not drowning, butter chicken scrumptious, service so sweet!! BTW floors and bathrooms Sparklingly clean!!! Oh yeah, naan huge and perfect!

    Kukhura Pharsi (Chicken & Pumpkin)
    Mark K.

    I feel very comfortable when I walk into this place. I like that they have some distance between the tables and it's not too terribly noisy. The staff is friendly and attentive. After ordering, each diner is given a cup of daal soup. The flavor is so good. We ordered the Kukhura Pharsi (Chicken & Pumpkin). The description says "butternut squash", but it seems to be pumpkin. We also ordered the Lamb Saag and Garlic Cheese Naan. Everything was hot (temp) and nicely spiced. We ordered very mild and it was just that. If you like naan, try the garlic cheese naan. It's my favorite flavor of naan. I will be back.

    Lamb Tikka Masala
    Belle J.

    Came here for a work dinner and we all really enjoyed it. We shared a momo platter for appetizers. My coworkers enjoyed it a lot but I have had better elsewhere. The sauce that came with it was really good though! I had a lamb tikka masala and I asked for it to be very spicy and It was very spicy! I actually really liked it but if I have to order this again, I might just go with spicy than normal, not very spicy. I also got a cheese garlic naan on the side and I loved it! One downside is that this place doesn't have desserts (at least it wasn't offered). Service was great. Our server kept checking on us the whole time.

    Butter Chicken Lunch with garlic naan

    We came for Christmas lunch and were pleasantly greeted and sat. They have a wonderful lunch menu! We ordered vegetable samosas to start, and the were delicious. I had the chicken tikka masala with basmati rice, side salad, and daal soup. My son had the butter chicken with garlic naan, side salad, and daal soup. My sister had the fried rice and chicken chow mein. Everything was delicious, and tasted fresh. Very happy we found them for our celebration!

    Kaya M.

    We are so grateful for the huge and generous meal donated to our team of artists. The food was incredible -- I especially loved the saag, tikka masala, and garlic naan! Everyone was truly delighted and satisfied, even with the wide range of dietary needs on our team. Himalayan Kitchen went above and beyond by providing an insulated container, which allowed us to pick up before their dinner rush and still enjoy a hot, nourishing meal later in the evening. Deep thanks for such thoughtful generosity and delicious food. The love and quality behind it is felt.

    Lunch special - aloo cauli
    Maggie C.

    Very happy with my experience here. There were many vegan options which were clearly labeled on the menu. This place is a bit hidden, tucked in the corner of the plaza. Very clean interior. We were immediately given a carafe of water upon seating. The food was amazing. We tried the aloo cauliflower lunch special and the veggie momos. The momos were my favorite. Perfectly spiced, even without any additional sauces. I really enjoyed the cauli as well. I don't get Himalayan food very often but this place makes me want to drive all the way from Berkeley!

    Pork and veggie dumplings
    Jessica B.

    My mom and I went there for lunch. We sat outside under the awning. A very sweet young woman waited on us. We got the dumplings. I ordered 4 pork and 4 veggie. They came with a peanut sauce. Delicious. I loved the veggie. We split the lunch special. Basmati rice with a lamb Tikka Masala,a side salad and a veggie yellow dhal soup. Such a treasure. I don't normally order veggie items, but the dhal soup was a delicate surprise. Delicious. The lamb Tikka was lovely. Everything tasted fresh and made with high quality ingredients. We had a Thai iced tea and a chai tea - both perfect. This is a wonderful addition to Montecitto shopping center and a great place for lunch. Really tasty.

    It's been years since we have been here and it's better than we remembered. The service was amazing…read moreand friendly. Our food was delicious. There is street parking available and seating was quick, although we arrived shortly after 5 pm. My husband had fried spring rolls, fried chicken, lemon aid, and the seafood hot pot with rice. I had the fresh rolls with shrimp. Both of us took home lots of leftovers. The fried chicken was excellent and not greasy. The spices were delightful and not overwhelming. It was perfectly crispy. The spring rolls were also very good and crispy with a nice mix of flavors. The real star was the seafood hot pot! So many great pieces of shrimp, seafood, mushrooms, peppers, bok choy, onion, and the best light broth. I kept sneaking my fork into my husband's bowl for more and I'm usually not a big fan. My fresh rolls were both generous and excellent. I appreciated the delicate balance between the romaine and mint with the fresh vermicelli. The shrimp were thinly sliced and fresh. We will be making this place a regular on our rotation of favorites.

    One thing I really appreciate about Saigon Village is that you don't often see Vietnamese…read moresandwiches on full restaurant menus--but here, they do it right. Their bánh mì options are legit and absolutely worth ordering. They also have a killer pho lineup with all the classics--barbecue beef, chicken, pork, and more. The broth is flavorful and comforting, and the portions are generous. It's the kind of pho that hits the spot every time. Don't miss the fresh shrimp rolls--light, refreshing, and super tasty. Perfect balance to the richer dishes. Another standout detail: they serve coconut juice straight from an actual cut coconut, which feels both fresh and fun and pairs perfectly with the food. They offer both dine-in and to-go, which makes it easy whether you're sitting down for a meal or grabbing something quick. Between the bánh mì, the pho, the fresh rolls, and the coconut drink, Saigon Village delivers on flavor and variety. A solid go-to spot for Vietnamese comfort food.

I'm glad to see that this restaurant is trying some things that are new. We tried the Pani Puri (see photo). You pour the tamarind sauce into the hole in the top and eat in one bite. Tasty and refreshing. We also ordered the cheese naan, chicken coconut curry, and the veggie korma. These dishes definitely had Indian flavors but they were a bit different (good thing) than what I've had in the past. The cheese naan was good but needed a bit more cheese - and maybe some garlic :) Great place. Sudesh helped us out during the entire evening and was a joy to talk with.
