A great satisfying meal with friends! Mango lassi and chai to to start off, mango lassi is as I expected, Himalayan chai is like the Indian chai, but have a hint of salt with it, everything is good. For appetizers we got vegetable mono come with dipping curry sauce, lot is spice, quite different from Chinese dumpings. Samosa chaat--I like the flavorful chickpeas, but I prefer regular samosa over this version, this dish is like a deconstruct samosa with salsa over it. For main we had: mango lamb curry-my favorite in curry sauce out of all five different kind we got for the night, sweet and flavorful, although the lamb meat is more gamy and drier compare to chicken, I wish they would also make a chicken mango curry. chicken korma-creamy sauce that's supposed to be less spicy, chicken is quite tender fish korma-same sauce, but with salmon, I like the chicken version more Nepali Chicken-the spices are more prominent as you can see the cilantro and garlic ginger pieces, chicken is in bone Bhundi masala or baigan-I really liked the okra and eggplant in this dish, both texture and flavor are great, lots of spices showing instead of in sauce, I would hope to have more okra pieces rather than green beans in it We would definitely come back! Everything was very appetizing and we finished all the rice with dishes, had only two pieces of garlic nann left for two baskets. A great place to eat if you are not afraid of carb loading, because all the spices make you want to eat more rice with it! read more

Himalayan Range Nepali Restaurant - Mitho (Delicious) MoMo. Finest place with clean environment and very polite staff. Love it will surely come back. - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I love it I think I visit this place at least twice a month chicken tikka is so good and the garlic Naan

First time trying Nepali restaurant! This place gives a large portion of food for very cheap price!

We live in Dallas, TX. 5 years ago, when we were looking at moving to NC, we spent a few days cruising cuisine in Cary. We just happened to go into this one hope in the wall and ended up having an amazing meal. We had to fly into Raleigh for a trip this week, and the first thing I remembered when we landed was that dinner. Went back today for lunch and ordered fried Momo, paneer korma, chicken korma, and chicken Tikka masala (all at varying degrees of spicy) and everything was just as good as I'd remembered. This is, by far, the beat representation of Nepali cuisine I've ever had. And the kheer is like a tiny bowl of heaven. read more

Himalayan Range Nepali Restaurant - Door with phone number - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

We order food from this restaurant once a week. It's so delicious and the prices are reasonable!

What did we just ordered, prices are crazy and food is blend enough to throw up. I am so disappointed. It's so interesting how they become so defensive when someone is talking about their food? Peraon name Ramesh God knows who's he keep on messaging me and asking me random things. This was scary I dont think so I would even suggest anyone to come to this place. Cheap food taste strange people weird experience. read more

My wife and I REALLY like this place. Service is very nice, very easy to place an order, even if you're not familiar with the style of cuisine. They're also happy to moderate the level of spicy-ness to each dish. They have a nice beer list from the area which is a nice bonus. The portions are quite generous, but get 2 if you're on a date so you can each share :) read more

I've got to hand it to these folks at this restaurant. They are courteous, the food is great, and the prices are something to smile about. I've been here twice now. I enjoyed what I had sooooo much the first time I ordered the exact thing yesterday! I can't help it, I wanted a duplicate experience and I succeeded!! Just as i remembered. So, I have yet to try a lot of the menu, but I can attest for the fried cauliflower appetizer, fried chicken appetizer, garlic naan, and yellow lentils main. Every bit was satisfying. I tried some goat curry as well and it was quite nice and flavorful, but not as much my style as the veggie options. A word to the wise- they mean business in the spice category. For most other spiciness across the board I can handle a medium. This medium is just a tad too intense, so I asked for a step below medium this time and it was perfect. If you are unsure, a good thing to do is buy an appetizer (like the cauliflower curry), and see how your chosen spice level does for you before ordering your main. Going here is an enjoyable dining experience. Check it out! read more

Food here is so good. Everything I tried did not disappoint: vegetarian momos (dumplings, steamed, but you can get them fried as well and chicken!), bhindi masala (okra), yellow dal (lentil soup), bangan bhartha (eggplant), garlic naan, and gulab jamin (dessert). Non vegetarian options are great too. My dad had a chicken dish and chicken dumplings and he was satisfied. Portions are big so plan to take some home. read more

This restaurant was recommended by a couple of friends and we finally got to check it out! Dinner is from 5-9 pm. There is s large selection on the menu with a variety of veggie dishes to chicken, lamb and goat dishes. Spice can be modified to your taste. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating and we never felt rushed. It was actually very relaxing with an intimate ambiance but also good for groups. A very well maintained and clean restaurant. You won't leave hungry! The chicken fried rice was flavorful and had a good amount of veggies in it. The spinach sauce Roth chunks of cheese had great texture and was very filling. Definitely will be back and prices are great! Cucumber-infused water was a plus! read more

Food was very good. Service was slow considering they weren't very busy. Staff was friendly.

Always good and extremely well priced. I love the raita, mango lassis, butter chicken and all of the flavors of Naan. Our go-to at least once a month place for consistent yummy food. read more

Yum!! Very authentic Nepali food with good service. This is a modest family-owned restaurant. You can smell the spice when you walk in. Make sure you order the naan, but know you will be served a complimentary appetizer of a crunchy chip-type food with an accompanying chutney. The dish I ordered unfortunately don't know the name of but it consisted of deliciously spiced sauce over bone-in chicken served with basmati rice. I would definitely go back and had no issues with the service or anything else. read more

I finally came to this place! It was on my list for a while! We came here for Saturday lunch. Not many people, just 3-4 tables throughout our meal. It's spacious inside! Much bigger than it looks from outside. The server was very friendly. They serve cucumber water! Like it. The food was very delicious here! We ordered the chicken momos and coconut curry chicken. The momos were very juicy! When I first bite it, the juice exploded out! Then I learned the lesson and dump the juice in the plate first. Later I found it tasted better if you just put the whole momo into the mouth and have the momo with the juice. I also like the dipping sauce coming with momos. Momos were delicious and must have! The coconut curry chicken is only $7.99! Such good price! The portion size is quite good as well. The taste? It's amazing! The chicken was very tender. Curry and coconut fits each other pretty well! Both my boyfriend and me loved it! We had it in medium because my boyfriend can't handle too much spice. But he said he would try spicy next time. Will definitely come back and have it again! read more

Amazing and consistent food, and fair prices. Everything I've had here has been delicious and they package things well for take out. The portions are a good size especially the rice that comes with your meal. The samosa chaat, chicken tandoori, and chicken tikka masala are some of my favorites. read more

Great food, well prepared, and good quantity. Service is always friendly and quick. The butter chicken is one of my favorites.

So good, the spicyness left me all warm inside, medium spice was enough. Recommend the chicken momos and salmon korma, both very unique and tasty. Service was also welcoming, servers all still wearing masks for covid. read more

Himalayan Range Nepali Restaurant - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I went to Himalayan Range Nepali Restaurant for the first time with a mission. I wanted to try their chili chicken and/or their gobi manchurian. It was time to break my longstanding rule of always ordering goat at this type of restaurant. Some might say chili chicken and gobi manchurian are relatively tame dishes. The flavors are far too similar, and it doesn't make sense to order both of them in conjunction. While that may be, the excellent photography by modern day savant photographer Thomas R. left me no choice. These pictures match Sam Shaw's flying skirt photo of Marilyn Monroe as a truly terrific way to capture beauty. Seriously, look at those pictures. Have you seen something so appealing outside of Hustler/GQ/Penthouse/Your Magazine of Choice? It took me a second to find these two dishes. They are listed under appetizers, not entrees. Both of them sell for under $5. I was downright stunned. A great meal with plenty of leftovers can be had for around $10 with an order of each, along with plain basmati rice at $1.50. I was dining with a friend, so we decided to order a lamb biryani instead of plain basmati rice. This friend of mine is suddenly super cultured because he married an Indian. He informed me of the prim and proper way to pronounce biryani. I tried the pronunciation with our server, and she was clueless. Hey, maybe they pronounce it differently in Nepal, eh? I've never felt so ashamed in my life. The food arrived, and I quickly forgot all of the deep shame and embarrassment that I brought on myself and my family. I expected the texture to be the only difference between the chili chicken and the gobi manchurian, but each had a distinct flavor. The lamb biryani had a deceptive amount of spice to it, and it was served with a delicious yogurt sauce. Service was top notch from start to finish. I can't comment on the ability of the servers to answer menu questions, given that I am a certified, card carrying, cultured Yelper, but my water never sat empty. I drank my fill of the delicious cucumber water because it was so good. And because that lamb biryani had a sneaky heat to it. I ate one of my better recent meals at Himalayan Range Nepali Restaurant. I can't wait to return with a lot more money to try the goat sekuwa. Great food and service at very competitive prices make this one of the best restaurants in the Triangle. read more

Nepalese restaurant at the Food Lion plaza next to La Shish and Awaze. Went there for lunch. Had a meat samosa and it was decent. We also had the vegetarian and chicken momos (dumplings) which were interesting. The skin is similar to Chinese style dumplings, but the fillings are definitely different with the slight curry flavor. For entree, I got the Nepalese chicken which was very flavorful. The medium spice level was enough for me. Other people in my party got the chicken wrap which looked like a pretty good deal for $5-6. read more

I'm glad I found out about Himalayan Range - one more great restaurant to frequent in the Cary area! I came with my family of 5 for a Saturday evening dinner. The place wasn't packed, so we were seated promptly. The menu is pretty extensive, so there were a lot of options to choose from. Here's what we ordered: Appetizers (in order of most favorite to least favorite): Garlic Naan - Great garlic flavor, and excellent texture of the naan. It paired well with our entrees / curry. Chicken Momo - The Chicken Momo reminded me of Chinese xiao long bao with the filling flavored in curry-based spices. The filling wasn't juicy like a xiao long bao ought to be, but I liked the taste and the sauces that it came with. Chicken 65 - These were like deep fried chicken nuggets with chili-type spices. We ordered the dish with medium spiciness, and the flavor was solid. It wasn't overly spicy, but had just enough kick to make the dish interesting. I wish the chicken was a little crispier on the outside, but overall, it was a fairly enjoyable appetizer. Entrees (in order of most favorite to least favorite): Goat Mango Curry - The goat was well-cooked, and the curry was spot-on in terms of flavor and spice (we got it medium spiciness, but I would want to try it spicier next time). The mango wasn't overpowering, but I got a hint of sweetness from it in the curry, which definitely enhanced the dish. Lamb Saag - I ordered this one spicy, and it was legitimately spicy. In retrospect, I should have probably went milder, but I liked the kick. The lamb was not overcooked and tough, and still maintained its lamb flavor. I wanted to try a saag dish, but looking back, I should have just went with the Saag Paneer and tried the lamb in a curry. That's why there will be a next time! Bhindi Masala - This dish was okra in tomato based sauce, and they did an excellent job with it. The okra was prepared perfectly, and the dish felt pretty complete and balanced when mixed with tomatoes and the other spices. Tandoori Mix Grill - This was a trio of Chicken Tikki, Chicken Tandoori, and Chicken Kebab. While the chicken was rather tender, I feel like the flavors of the Chicken Tikki and Chicken Tandoori didn't really come through in this dish. It wasn't a bad dish, but I probably could have done without, and wouldn't necessarily recommend it. The prices are unbeatable here. For a reasonable price, you get a generous portion of delicious food - check out the menu on their website. The restaurant is a decent size, the service is incredibly attentive and prompt, and everything seemed very clean and well-kept. I'm a fan - I'll definitely be back to Himalayan Range soon. read more

This review is for takeout only, which I ordered through GrubHub. We ordered a plethora of items as we wanted to try a lot of different things. We got a bread basket, the assorted chutneys and relishes, chana masala, chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, chicken vindaloo, and saag paneer. The entrees came with a generous amount of rice to soak up all the sauces. Everything was delicious. We customized the spice level of the dishes, which was great for a contrast between a few mild dishes and a few spicy dishes. The flavor of the dishes was excellent, exactly what you would imagine. There was a generous amount of protein in each dish as well. This is the best Indian food we've had so far in the triangle, highly recommend! read more

The food was ok. The Indian food was decent, but the Chinese Chow Mein was a disappointment. It was also very disappointing they used cold food styrofoam for hot food and it melted the styrofoam. this is a cancer-causing situation and we had to throw away half the food that melted the foam plastic. They should use Paper-based containers for hot food and also use tin foil for things like onion fried food. They just dumped it into the styrofoam and it was unacceptable. read more

If you're not familiar with Himalayan Nepali cuisine, think Indian Thai fusion. The flavors here demand your presence at every bite and you will definitely leave with a satisfied palate. The restaurant space is also great for groups! I came with a party of 12 for Sunday lunch and we were seated immediately. The prices aren't cheap, but definitely justifiable by quality and portion size. None of the food here was "bad" per say, but here are some dishes that I would probably not order again: Chicken 65 - Only the breading seemed to hold any flavor, which was a delicious chili-blend that I wish you could taste in the chicken as well. The chicken was also very dry. Goat Mango Curry - I like sweeter curries, but this was a little bit too sweet and mild for my taste. Don't get me wrong though, if you're enticed by the sound of this dish, you should definitely still try it because it's good and very unique. I would just suggest getting it spicier. LOVED: Chicken Momo - You must eat this with the sauce! By itself the filling is kind of bland, but the flavor profiles explode as soon as you dip it in the sauce. Goat Coconut Curry - I almost cried biting into the goat. It was soo tender and just dripping in flavor. The curry was equally as stunning and harmonized very well with the goat. Garlic Naan - HUGE portion size. Perfectly seasoned and baked. Would definitely recommend getting with the curry. Overall, great food, great service. So glad I finally got the chance to check this place out! I can't wait to come back! read more

This place has become a frequent goto for the wife and I after living so close to it for a while a now, but never eating there as it's easy to miss tucked down there in that location! Consistently really gooood. read more

Went there three weeks before in a group of three. We ordered Chicken Momo, mutton curry and chicken fried rice. Momo was good but not that super tasty as I am a Momo lover. Mutton curry was delicious. But I really didn't like the chicken fried rice as the chicken they used was of curry chicken and the fried rice more seemed like steamed rather than fried. I never had such kind of fried rice. I had chowmein take out which I didn't eat more than one bite and trashed it. Many things to be improved. Customer Service was good. Attractive ambience. Hope they will improve their weakest point. read more

Delicious! Nice dining atmosphere, great prices, and everything my friends and I had was delicious. There was a little bit of confusion when we ordered our food but the staff is courteous and VERY attentive. I don't think my water ever got below half full. They cucumber water was really refreshing. Gluten free items are not marked on the menu which makes it hard for celiacs or people trying to avoid gluten. read more

Himalayan Range Nepali Restaurant - Chicken Saag Worried about it being TOO spicy? Your order can be made whatever way you prefer - mild, medium, or spicy. - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Oh so happy to find out that this restaurant is owned by the previous owners of the "other" Himalayan/Nepalese restaurant on Chatham! I got gobi manchurian ($4.99), papdi chaat (5.50), and garlic naan to take away. It was ALL spectacular.. Huge portions for the cost, freshly made, best papdi chaat in town. Nicely decorated interior also. Very friendly! read more

This is our FAVORITE of the 3 local Nepali food restaurants close to each other. Very affordable. Consistently delicious food. Easy prompt service. Nothing comes too spicy (I can't eat it if it's off the charts). Our favorites are the Bhindi masala (I could eat this every day for breakfast lunch & dinner & dessert and maybe snack), chicken curry, veggie chow chow, naan. Very vegan friendly which is a big plus for me as the vegan in the family who already feels ostracized. I can't say enough great things about this place. We've treated many friends to food from here and they've all loved it. It's my go-to for takeout. I'm never not in the mood for it. read more

This is a nice place to get Northern Indian food. There are so many dishes to choose from. Sure there is the Tikki Marsala and naan. However, there are lots of choices and it was beautiful. So we ordered the Gobi Manchurian cauliflower and chicken 65 for the appetizers. Both were nice and spicy. I don't like bland food so this was perfect for me. For my dinner had the chicken korma and it was wonderful. There was spice and creamy so it was perfect. The rice was also nicely cooked and went nicely with the garlic naan we ordered. Paneer sog, was the other dish we ordered. It was nice, but the chicken korma was better. Other notes: The bathroom was spotless. There was enough toilet paper and it did not smell. The handsoap was nice. It was also nicely to have paper towels. The service was great. Water was refilled quickly and there was enough napkins. The waistaff answered any questions we had and were attentive without being annoying. I will definitely go back to this establishment to eat. I can't wait to take my family. read more

This restaurant is amazing and I highly recommend it! My coworker and I visited for lunch unfortunately the service was a tad on the slower side but the food made up for it.

Entering this place, we couldn't help noticing that the staff in this place were extremely friendly. Not sure if it's because new, but it gave a at home feel. We started off with the veg momos which ended up being a disappointment. I felt the filling has too much of turmeric and the dipping sauces weren't great as well. Then came my veg chow chow, which reminded me of an Indian instant noodle (Maggie)...I traveled back in time while I ate this. I thought the portion was large for the price. Then came the parathas...oh they were amazing. My friends loved the chili parathas...I liked the onion kulcha, they definitely make some amazing parathas in the area. We also ordered their veg kurma and throughly enjoyed it. This place is such a keeper and if they continue having such friendly staff, this might just be my place for comfort food read more

Love the momos here! The curries are also great. Very reasonable prices too! Pretty much liked everything i have tried here.

I love this place! I would say it's one of my overall favorites in RTP. Meals start with a free appetizer of some thin "chips" that go with a nice spicy pickle of some kind. Even the ice water tastes good, as they have been infused with cucumber. My go-to dishes are the chicken momos and the chili chicken. (Yes. I like chicken). And don't forget the garlic naan. Chicken momos are a must-have. They are similar to chinese xiaolongbao, but these have garam masala and come with two dipping sauces. They are super tasty! I usually like to mix the dipping sauces together. Chili chicken is also good. Ratio of chicken to breading is decent and I love the surprise of the occasional fennel seed. There's such a nice mixture of flavors and spices. Garlic naan is also super fresh, chewy, and tasty. read more

The name Himalayan Range Nepali Restaurant (HRNR) is a bit of a misnomer. It goes beyond Himalayan food. I spent more than a month in the Himalayas and can summarize that cuisine into two words: dal bhat. Dal bhat is a watery yellow split lentil curry. It's nice, but they eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sure, you might have it with rice or sometimes a plain dry-fried chapatti. And every now and again, you can have fried instant noodles, veggie momos, and curried veg just to change up the pace. But one cannot base a restaurant just off dal bhat - so you mix in the cuisine of the "lowlands". To be fair, you wouldn't want to name your restaurant "the lowland Nepali restaurant" because, well, it's not romantic. But it's the lowlands where the overwhelming majority of Nepali's live and whose food is featured at this restaurant. Lowland Nepali food is ostensibly North Indian food which has been adjusted for Nepali ingredients. There are more fruits (eg, mango) in the dishes. And from what I can tell, this chef likes to spice with more of a healthier dose of white pepper rather than just relying on ginger or chiles. HRNR has several things going for it. First, it tastes pretty good for lowland Nepali food. Well executed, well balanced, and generally "good but not fantastic" for everything I ate. Second, service is prompt and the place is clean. Third, having that Nepali style is a nice change of pace to standard Indian fare - (think: slightly sweeter, more subtle spicing, less perfumey aromatics like cardamom). Fourth, the dishes seem home-cooked - if my mom was Nepali. I can't quite put my finger on why I feel it is home-style and have nothing to base that on. Perhaps they just made me feel comfortable. As far as the negatives, this is not the best sub-Continent food in the area and I would rather go to Nazarra, Azitra, or a few other places. Four star food. But this place certainly is head and shoulders better than the places in the mini-mall it is located. And also, it tries to remain humble in décor, which may be a bit daggy to the snobby. So join me at HRNR and enjoy a solid meal. And to boot, you can say something awesome like "let's go to Nepali food in Cary... no, not that one, the other one - Himalayan RANGE Nepali Restaurant." read more

GREAT!! Best Indian food in the Triangle, by far.
