Very authentic cuisine! Loved the chicken tikka masala with rice and the naan bread was so soft and tasty! A+ read more

Some of the best and most consistently good Indian/Nepali food in the area. Order from their website and avoid the fees if you are getting delivery. read more

Everything was super good BUT the lamb vindaloo (extra spicy) and the soup momos are delicious! Sadly the one photo with three different foods, the left one we cannot remember what it was but that was also super good! We have been here four times now since finding this. We did order through Uber Eats and sadly it was slower than it said it would be for delivering and we didn't get any money back but not sure if it's Ubers fault or the restaurant. We have ate here before once and it was quiet when there. Definitely will continue to keep coming here! (Should note we ate here once, picked up food here twice, and just now ordered through Uber Eats) read more

This small restaurant has a great buffet. The food has tasted fresh each time I have gone. The servers were very nice, and they were attentive. Not much to the decor, but the place is clean. I wish they had 1 or 2 more spicier dishes, and no samosas were there.. read more

Very kind, attentive and accommodating of our large group. Excellent and prompt service! I really enjoyed the momos. The soup momos were by far the best I've had. The broth was deliciously spicy. Highly recommend you get an order of the soup momos! read more

Stopped in to Himalayan Restaurant to have the lunch buffet to see how the new management is doing. Although I was the only one eating in the restaurant they were doing a nice takeout and delivery business. Located on Lorain Road in a standalone building is a nice compact restaurant. There is a compact, but nice dining room. The lunch buffet is set up in the front area to your right as you come in the front door. The buffet is $12 per person. The buffet is nicely set up and fresh. There was 2 chicken dishes, two vegetarian dishes plus rice, vegie chow mein, pakora, salad, fruit and dessert. I was very impressed with the food I tried, everything was fresh and the flavors were really distinct and the spices were well balanced. The Dal and the vegetable Korma were both quite tasty if a bit soupy. The fried pakora were some of the best I have had, perfectly fried to a crispy exterior and delicious inside. The plain chow mein was simple, but very flavorful. The fresh Naan that was delivered to the table was excellent as well. A good selection of sauces and pickles complimented the meal as well. Ending the meal with some nice fresh melon and a couple of the warm Gulab Jamun, crisp dumplings in a sweet sauce. Yummy. The lunch buffet and the food overall at Himalayan Restaurant is excellent. Flavors are really good and the food is very well prepared. I would have liked to see more of the Nepali items on the buffet as opposed to the Indian food items, but it is hard to complain when the food is this good. read more

Our go to Indian restaurant. Decent prices, friendly service, delicious food. Remember to ask for your spice level.

Went for the first time last week. Will definitely be back. That saag paneer and the paneer pakora were dynamite. Can't wait to bring some folks with me next time. read more

I've found my new favorite restaurant! 100% recommend! The jhol momo is the dish that looks like soup dumplings, so flavorful, slightly spicy and delicious. The paneer makhani is sweet and savory. Naan was soft and fluffy. Will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Himalayan Restaurant was such a hidden gem to me. I'm absolutely thrilled to have found it. We were hungry one evening and randomly saw it on delivery and thought we'd give it a chance. Let me tell you, we're now absolutely hooked and have again ordered multiple times. I can't remember the last time I was this excited about any restaurant. This might be the best chicken tikka masala in Cleveland and I do not say that casually. It's a generous portion with the most delicious sauce. It hits the spot every single time. We always wish we had more! The paneer pakora is also excellent as is the Himalayan chicken 555. Along with the chicken tikka masala, this is our order every time! I also recommend trying some new-to-you things from their Nepali menu, because it does not get any more authentic. Another cool thing about Himalayan is that you can order delivery and takeout directly on the Yelp mobile app or website. If you're looking for authentic Nepali and Indian food, this is your place. We plan to keep exploring this amazing menu of bold flavors and colorful dishes. read more

Wow. Fabulously great food. We're planning on making the 2 hour trip soon just to go back! Delicious appetizers and sauces and all very authentic. read more

The food was fine and came quickly but it wasn't as flavorful as we expected. The problem was cleanliness. The women's restroom was filthy. The switch plate had black grime all over it, the floor was sticky, there was no toilet paper, the doorknob and sink handles were very dirty. Our table had glass over the tablecloth, but the sides of the tablecloth had food and sauce dripping down. We changed tables and the 2nd was better but still not great. One of our plates was dirty with crusty sauce from some other dinner. read more

Did some dinnertime takeout here recently (but forgot to take pictures). Ordering was easy and the pick-up process (due to COVID-19) was very safe and efficient. Wife and I ordered a bunch of items to share and sample...samosas, garlic naan, aaloo gobhi, chicken tikka masala. Everything was still hot and fresh when I got it home! Their tikka dish had a ton of extra sauce, which was great for sopping it up with the garlic naan. Their naan was slightly chewy but had a nice char on it as well. The aaloo gobhi had huge chunks of potato and cauliflower along with a fragrant (and spicy!) sauce...set atop a pile of jasmine rice made for some delicious bites. Finally, the samosas had a moist and flavorful veg filling and topping it off with both the provided sauces made for some outstanding eats. Very much looking forward to trying more / different dishes at this spot...takeout or otherwise! read more

I love this place - I can't believe I've taken this long to write them a review! I've dined in and gotten take out many times, so I've probably tried at least half of the menu and food is always great, fresh, and flavorful. The portions are large and they are happy to bring you more rice and sauces. Definitely try the gobi 55 (mildly spicy fried cauliflower). I also recommend the lunch special they came up with after they had to close the buffet: for $10, you get soup, bread, chicken or vegetable curry, rice, a side of spicy pickled vegetable salad, and a little donut for dessert. They are really nice people, too. If you are a virus enthusiast, I see them do a good volume of take out business with contact-less pick up. read more

Deliciousness - 3.5/5 Happiness - 4/5 Let me preface by saying I've never had Nepali food before. So the uniqueness alone earns this place one star. Also, I have no frame of reference for comparison. I also did delivery on this one, so nothing to report regarding the decor or service (although the meal was prepped quickly, it came 20 mins. before the estimated delivery date). I'll start with the best. The mulligatawny soup was a real winner. It had a nice spice level with perfectly cooked rice. Even my kids really enjoyed it, and they were apprehensive to try it at first. The other top option was the Himalayan chili chicken. You get a mountain-ful (pun... INTENDED) of chicken, it'll easily last for leftovers. The coating is perfect, and the chunks of meat are big and tender. The sauce has a pleasant spice that kicks some life into the accompanying rice without burning out your mouth. It's not the most unique item on the menu, but it's delicious (and reminiscent of General Tso's chicken for those wondering). The most fun thing we tried was the pani puri, which was like nothing I've had prior. Essentially, you pour some stewed flavored water into a shell with chickpeas (or a filling of your choice). It was an experience in addition to being tasty. That said, I wasn't a huge fan (though my wife enjoyed it a lot more than me). I thought everything came out a bit soggy, although that may have been user error on my part! The one thing that disappointed were the naan breads. My family loves naan and we ordered several different kinds, but it was all pretty bland and too doughy. The only one that was worthwhile was the lamb-stuffed keema naan, but even that was only mildly interesting. I'd pass on the carbs here and explore more Nepali cuisine next time as I didn't even reach the peak (more puns!) of what this menu has to offer Keep in mind that they have more well-known Eastern dishes like tandoori, rice bowls, and curries. But I think you'd be selling yourself short if you go with those unless you're eating here all the time. This was a fun time and I recommend it. read more

Amazing Food. Small kitchen so expect to wait for your food prepared with care and love. Pricing is good. Staff waiting on tables could be a bit more engaging. Overall fantastic food. read more

I tried the buffet several weeks ago, which apparently they don't offer anymore. Which I can see why, it probably wasnt very popular. There were a few things on the buffet that were tasty, including the soups and a curry chicken dish. None of the food was very hot temperature wise either. I can see they do a better carry-out business than dine-in. I would consider ordering a dish from the menu but it will probably be a long time before I do so. read more

I love Indian food but I am obsessed with Momos since trying them with my son in Denver ordered Uber eats this evening. The momos are and were amazing. The choila with tofu was very very good and I am not a tofu person. The cauliflower app was delicious with the yogurt dip I also ordered. Only home for a few weeks but will be ordering again for sure! read more

I have not been in person, but every time I've gotten this on delivery has been delicious. The breads are soft and pillowy, flavorful, and has more options than you'd typically see. The momos are worth a try if you've never had the Nepalese dumplings before! read more

After sitting there for over an hour only to be served our drinks and appetizer we realized why so many people just order take out. Between no music, warm water and an hour wait I don't recommend dining it. However the food was pretty tasty. (I don't recommend the kids menu either, you probably can just warm up chicken nuggets and fries for your kiddos yourself). Oh and I almost forgot we waited so long the waiter told us the rice was a complimentary dish although all of our meals came with rice. read more

My favorite restaurant in the area for Indian food! I have only gotten takeout, so can't speak to the dine-in experience, but the food is always excellent, with reasonable prices and big portions. I'm not a big cauliflower fan but love their cauliflower 65. Dishes like the samosas and saag paneer have more complex flavor and more spice (including heat) than I usually encounter. read more

This place rips! Great food. So so so so consistent! Go for momos and that banging cauliflower

Some people are afraid to try something out of the typical American food category, not knowing what they are going to get. Well what you are going to get is extremely flavorful food, no different than your chicken, vegetables and rice that you cook at home, but masterfully jazzed up with spices and sauces. Nothing too hot, nothing to weird. GO HERE for their $12 lunch buffet or order a sample of take out to try out this incredible food. No-frills dine in, small bar, no patio, but great value and food! read more

Himalayan Restaurant - Lunch buffet $12! - Indian Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

The dishes here are extraordinarily delicious. I've had only Nepali offerings but they're so stellar that I want to keep reordering them rather than try new options. The Himalayan soup is a treat for the taste buds - just the right degree of spicy. The momo...mmmmWAH! As for the choila with grilled soyabean chunks, if I'm ever asked to choose a last meal, this may be it. The menu is vegan- and vegetarian-friendly Our servers have been quiet and kind of shy but good-natured and attentive. The atmosphere is peaceful, the rooms contemporary and attractive. Do yourself a favor and put this place on your must-do list pronto! read more

delectable Indian foods! Friendly service Cozy ambiance. read more

So I'll be honest this is my first experience with Himalayan food and it was different than when I expected, but that doesn't mean it wasn't great. There were some flavor profiles that I am used to having being subtle and living in the background that were definitely the forefront of these dishes. Not having any experience with Himalayan food I'm honestly not sure what is supposed to taste like however I can tell you that everything was perfectly cooked and the flavors married well together. My food was ready ahead of schedule and was sitting in a sanitized area. If you're a fan of Himalayan food or just want to try it out for the first time I imagine that this place is top notch. I was expecting there to be more of an Asian influence and the sauces were definitely more tomato-based which I did enjoy. Try it out, if nothing else you can say you ate Himalayan food. read more

Himalayan Restaurant - Mixed Vegetables Jalfrezie Khadai Paneer - Indian Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

If I had to describe this restaurant in one word it would be: homey. The food from them warmed us up on a cold rainy evening. I really enjoyed the free fried chips they gave us that came with tamarind and cilantro chutney. The appetizers were great. The pakoras were nice and crispy and the fried paneer was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. All of the people in our group ordered the jhol momo which was absolutely delightful. I would recommend getting naan to dip in the momo as you eat it because you get a fair amount of broth. The mimos were tender and soaked up all of the broth that came with it. We left feeling energized and refreshed. I definitely recommend coming here if you're craving something comforting!! read more

This is a review for a delivery order from here via UberEats. I was excited to see a highly reviewed Nepali restaurant here in Cleveland, and ordered the steamed veggie momos. Upon receiving my food, I found that they were raw. The momos are not cold (or not) for some reason but the dough is completely raw. as if they made it and forgot to steam it... Disappointed. read more

I ordered carry out from Himalayan Restaurant for the first time recently since they have begun operation with new management. And I have to say the food was absolutely delicious amazing. I ordered their chicken chowmein, goat Momos, samosas, and chicken 65. The food was very tasty and very appetizing. I definitely will be ordering more food and when it's safe in the future, I would be thrilled to go to the restaurant in person and try out more of their offerings. read more

Everything taste good, the goat is nice and tender but the chicken breast pieces were dry and made it hard to eat without having to take a drink of water each time. The garlic naan and rice are great sides. read more

To celebrate my recent graduation, my husband and I thought it would be fun to go out to dinner with family and friends. We called and made reservations for the day and time (for 8pm on a Saturday) for 14 people. When we arrived, the manager had no idea that we had a reservation, and no tables were set up and nothing was prepared. Not a big deal, our friends arranged the tables in the back room so that we'd all be able to sit. Not every seat had napkins, silverware, but we did have cups for water. It was not busy in the restaurant, there were only two people in the main dining room. The service, although friendly, was extremely slow. A few times members of our party had to track down a waitress to ask for straws, more water, and utensils. Our meals came out at various intervals, with some members of our party waiting nearly an hour for their meals while others received theirs within about 15-20 minutes. Service was honestly in a bit of disarray, but the waitresses were very friendly and apologetic when food service was all over the place. There was also some confusion when it came to ordering-my cousin was told they were out of eggplant for her dish and that she'd have to order something else...but then they came out with the dish for her. But one of our friends ordered the same thing, and they had her order something else and then brought that one out. Go figure. Now onto the food- The food, once it came out, was good! I wouldn't say it's my favorite place, but it's definitely a solid option. The food was clean and not too oily (a pet peeve of mine when it comes to curries), cooked well, and smelled great! Everything was cooked just right-nothing was over/under done, and was well seasoned. There was a lot of food sharing around the tables, and everyone was pleased with their food. Many of our friends said that they'd like to go back...just in smaller groups, because it seemed like our group of 14 people overwhelmed them. I can't imagine if the front room was also busy at the same time! I know that the restaurant is new, and so they have kinks to work out to get the flow of service down, as well as flow in the kitchen. But once they get that, I know they'll become very popular! The food speaks for itself, the staff is friendly, and the restaurant itself is very clean. We'll definitely be back, just in smaller groups! We're looking forward to hopefully trying out their weekend buffet soon. PS-there appears to be only street parking, unless we missed a back lot or something as we were all arriving at night. read more

Delicious Saturday lunch buffet! So many yummy flavors! Friendly helpful server and the dining area was clean and inviting!

Let me start by saying- "I dig this place"! If you like culinary adventures, you must try this Indian- Napali spot on Cleveland's westside!. Being somewhat familiar with Indian food and totally clueless as to what Nepali food really is, I was glad to see they have a lunch buffet so I could sample a variety of things. Some of my favorites... Chicken Makhani, Chicken Biryani and Vegetable Pokora. Not to mention the warm Naan bread. YUM! Lunch buffett was $7.99. I will definitely go back again. It's a new place, I hope they can maintain the quality. Try them out! read more

We got amazing takeout from here! got the paneer makhini, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan and fried momo with chicken. The sauce that came with the momo was like a peanut coconut milk sauce, had a nice bite to it. Only thing we found odd is we did not get rice with our saucy entrees. Is this normal? We couldn't tell if it was a mistake or that is it a super Americanized thing to expect rice? We loved it just the same and made some rice real quick at home. read more

We really enjoy the chicken tikka masala! It's a bit pricy but our favorite place to get Indian. We also enjoy their jol momo's.. maybe we will try out the Buffett one day read more
