Neville S.

This place was fantastic. The indoor decor represents a lot of the culture of Nepal. Playing on a loop on monitors were videos of the landscapes and local towns of Nepal, including Kathmandu. Each booth has its own theme/flavor which makes it even more interesting. Food is delicious. Spicy level is perfect (waiter asked multiple times if we really wanted 8/10 for spicy because nobody ever asks for that kind of heat). Chicken tikka masala was the best. They have some good lunch specials which allows you to sample a variety of different dishes for about $13. Will definitely visit again and I recommend this place to anyone who loves the Asian culture and delicious authentic food!

Indian beer!
Jason B.

I swear I've been here before, but never reviewed this joint. Ordered an Indian beer to start, and then 3 main dishes, which came with rice or naan. Food was great, the chicken tikka masala was my favorite, but the korma and curry were good as well. Ambiance is strip mall supper club, service was prompt and helpful, and prices were slightly above portion size... good joint, I'll be back!

Butter Chicken & Garlic Cilantro Naan
Juliana W.

This was easily the best Indian food I've had in a LONG time. The service was incredible, they were attentive and friendly. The garlic cilantro naan was delicious and paired beautifully with the main dishes. We ordered butter chicken which was rich and robust with flavor - probably the most delicious butter chicken I've had. The lamb curry was complex, flavorful and savory. I cannot wait to go back! The desire was traditional and quaint. Incredibly pleased with the whole dining experience. (I also loved the 7 dollar glasses of house wine)

Lentil soup
Jacob N.

Delicious food in a quiet and comfortable setting. Himalayan Palace offers a wonderful lunch special where you can pick two types of curry, with soup, naan and rice pudding for 13.95. A nice treat for those with a bit of a craving for Indian food at lunch.

Lunch Special
Sydni S.

I was looking for a restaurant with a lunch special and came across himalayan palace and I'm so glad I did! the special was a great deal and let me try a few different dishes. they were all really good and the service was great too.

Himalayan Veggie Samosa
Sheila C.

Went in for an early dinner. I believe we were the only customers in the restaurant when we arrived. The food was good, but the service was super slow and they forgot part of what we ordered. The servers never came back to check on us and we had to wait quite awhile to flag one down.

Chana Masala
Molly G.

This has been my go to spot for Indian food for the past few months. Everything I've tried so far is delicious! I love the chicken masala, it is so creamy and packed with flavor. I live for the naan and will sometimes order two just to have more leftovers. Great place, definitely try it and I'm sure it'll become one of your go tos too!

Best place to get your Himalayan/Nepalese food fix! We were blown away by how delicious everything was here! We ordered 1) chicken tikka masala- perfectly balanced in its flavors with such a savory, rich base of sauce. We used the naan to soak up the sauce. 2) garlic cilantro naan- amazing. Crispy on the edges, but chewy on the insides. A must get with your meal 3) mixed tandoori- this dish came out sizzling with an assortment of lamb, salmon, chicken atop grilled vegetables. Absolutely loved the marinade on the meat and the veggies soaked up all that yummy flavor. 4) mango lassi- so creamy, smooth, and the mango really popped through the yogurt base. Perfect to wash down the spicy food, a true palate cleanser. 5) 911 hot sauce- loved this bright, punchy, spicy sauce- I added it to everything and it definitely burns in the best way possible! The restaurant itself is super clean and warm with a friendly, helpful staff. Free parking with plenty of available spots!

Chicken Momo, Butter Chicken, Butter Naan This was excellent! The butter chicken was flavorful and filling, the chicken super tender. The Naan was classic and great. The chicken momo I quite enjoyed but it didn't amaze me; just a solid dish. I didn't think the sauce that came with the chicken momo was very flavorful, so I dipped the chicken momos in my Butter Chicken sauce instead, and that tasted great.

Chicken Momo
Mara M.

Yum!!! Very solid food here. We ordered takeout and everything was prepared by staff and ready on time, restaurant looked cute and would eat in another time. The garlic naan, chili chicken, chicken tikka masala and momos were all really good! Would definitely recommend and come back!

Mango lassi (free when you check in)
Curt T.

This place was pretty good. The butter chicken sauce was very flavorful and creamy. The paneer chili perfectly spicy. I did add more spice to it but was very delicious. The mango lassi drink that was free in check in was delicious although sweet and sugary. The naan bread was very good. Is be back

Daily Lunch special, is that for Saturdays and Sundays as well?

Yes

Is the buffet open? FYI Chinese buffet restaurants are open :(

No. Even indoor dining can be spotty particularly with Indian cuisine. When I inquired the various owners say that they need more employees to open indoor. Perhaps on June 15th. We'll see. Until then get it to go like I do.

Does their lunch buffet have tandoori chicken?

It did when we went, but a few other dishes did change so you may wish to ask them directly for a given day.

Not that I don't love a couple of places down there, but it's just not the kind of neighborhood (or non-neighborhood, as the case may be) that inspires confidence in its chain-dominated dining choices. Among the endless traffic and endless-er strip malls, however, Tandoori Guys was a very pleasant surprise. I've dropped in three or dour times now for their weekday lunch special, when from 11am-3pm $12.00 buys you a generous plate of rice, naan, salad, and your choice of curry. I've mostly ordered the Peshawari chicken, which is wonderfully flavorful with a spice level that it always perfectly calibrated to my order (i.e., pretty spicy). I also enjoyed the mysteriously named "Chicken Curry," the flavor of which is much less bland than the name. The rice, naan, and salad all complement the curry well, with the salad notable for it's wonderful dressing and a generous helping of diced cucumbers and tomatoes. The place is clean and functional, albeit a not terribly exciting busy strip mall location. The parking lot is not the easiest to manage, but that's a minor concern for such delicious Indian food.

I started off with an excellent adult beverage: Taj Mahal, a premium Indian beer, which was a great selection! I decided to enjoy a Samosa, chicken tikka masala and tandoori chicken (see attached photos). My lunch also included a small bowl of creamy tomato soup which was delicious to the las slurp (I believe the soup was included in the Samosa order?). I decided to go with the spicy level #9 with 10 being the spiciest which proved to be the perfect choice. The food was fresh and flavorful. The Service was top notch, making us feel welcomed and appreciated! Nothing fancy about this restaurant, just great food with great service. They have a fantastic lunch special from 11:00am to 3:30pm which is an awesome value. If you haven't dined here yet You need to otherwise I promise you your'e missing out!

Incredible, in all the years using Groupon, I never ever encountered this level of control and restrictions. Food was okay, the price point seems 5% more than other Indian establishments. I haven't been here since 2019 B 4 Covid. Different cook for sure. I see no reason to return. 5 Indian cuisine restaurants within a one-mile radius. All better.

The good: We…read morearrived on Friday evening around 6:45. The dining room was quite busy. We waited for a few moments by the entrance, and then we were seated at a two top next to the raised tables on the carpet. We ordered samosas, Naan, Chicken Saag & Mango Chicken. Dal: We were gifted two small cups of dal (lentil soup) with fresh cilantro. It was not as flavorful as it has been in the past, so we added salt and pepper, and that brought it to life. Samosas: Delicious! They were on the smaller side, but the tamarind sauce was delightful. - $4.99 Garlic & Cilantro Naan: Great and reasonably priced - $3.99 Chicken Saag - Spice level 4 - pretty hot, very tasty. Chicken and spinach in a rich sauce. - $15.99 Mango Chicken - Spice 4 - pretty hot, slightly sweet sauce and very flavorful chicken. - $15.99 Basmati rice: fine :) Glass bottles of water were placed on the table immediately, and when we finished one, another one was brought over right away. We appreciated this! There is plenty of parking in the lot. The could-be-better: The service was rather uneven today because there were only two waiters for the whole dining room and they had to seat folks, bus tables, handle to-go orders, and wait on tables. They definitely need more staff on weekends. As a result, the service came across as a bit gruff and harried. Our table near the carpeted seating areas was a little too small for all of the dishes, and when our used dishes were not taken off of the table, it was quite crowded. Additionally, when families arrived who needed to sit at the tables on the carpet, we were surrounded by people taking their shoes off, and it felt awkward and uncomfortable for a few minutes. We were just about done with our food when the families arrived, so we left shortly afterward, but it could be a bit much if we were there longer. There should be a "please wait to be seated" sign by the front door so customers don't walk into the restaurant and stand around by the desk, and crowd the folks who are already seated in the dining room, or worse, pounce on a table that someone else is waiting for. Overall: The food here is good and reasonably priced. I will probably opt for take out more often than I dine in going forward (just to avoid the crowds), but I will be back. This restaurant feels authentic and genuine, and I like supporting family-owned businesses whenever possible. Mahalo!

Got the chicken vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, and the garlic herbal naan. The sauce for the vindaloo and tikka masala was like water. It was so watered down. The naan was very thin. Previous times I've been here, the sauce was so much thicker and the naan was fluffier. The chicken on both the dishes were overcooked and dry. The rice was the only thing that seemed fine. The only thing that I can say about the service is the older gentleman was grumpy.
