I've eaten at Himalayan many times, it's a neighborhood favorite. Everything I've had has been delicious, I've literally never had a bad dish, but my favorites are the momos, garlic naan, chicken tikka, palak paneer, green curry, veggie curry and mango lassi. The staff is very friendly and kind and I'm so happy to have them within delivery distance. read more

Mixed results based on a Saturday night visit with 6 of my friends - some with dietary restrictions. Pros: parking lot, good service, ok sized serving portions, very spicy hot sauce available on request, manager comped one of my friends meals even though it was her choice not to eat what she ordered (I thought that was a nice gesture) Cons: not impressed with the mango lassi - there were specks of some chewy spice that made the drink a bit awkward to drink, chicken fried rice contained dry and flavorless pieces of chicken, kothe (aka momo) was below average - dough was lifeless and meat filling just average. read more

Great spot for Nepalese, Tibetan, and Indian grub! I've enjoyed Himalayan Restaurant's lunch buffet, sit-down dinner, and takeout. Their daily lunch buffet has something for everyone and is AYCE for just $11.95. Their colorful food ranges from appetizers to curries to dessert, all with both vegetarian and meat options. I feel like I've tried a little bit of everything and enjoyed it all! I'm a sucker for chicken tikka masala, and it's interesting that they offer a salmon tikka masala too. Both are usually quite good and highly recommended, though once I got it and it seemed a tad watery. Just that once though! They have a lovely dining room for making this a dinner destination too. Be sure to ask about their specials! I just wish they offered dosa at this location. read more

I had an order for takeaway. Food was packaged nicely and service was prompt. I ordered Chicken tikka masala, chicken tandoori, plain rice, and garlic naan. The chicken tikka masala was my favorite out of all. The chicken was delicious and tender and the curry was phenomenal. I ordered mine with medium heat and was pleased. I wish the dish to be slightly bigger but overall was satisfied. The chicken tandoori was a large portion and had good flavors. I appreciated the lemon wedge and vegetables that complimented it well. The garlic naan was a very generous portion. It is very very garlicky, which I enjoyed but may not be for everyone. The rice was rice. It was good and there was plenty. Personally I would have liked to see the entrees, especially the tikka masala, come with rice but whatevs. read more

We were visiting Minnesota for a wedding and found this delicious spot! The momos were spot on and the owner was so gracious. The Choyela is not a typical choyela, but the restaurant's own rendition, which worked quite well. It was smoky and delicious. I'd be coming here a lot more frequently if I lived in Minnesota read more

At risk of exposing one of my best kept secrets, I write this review If you're looking for a guaranteed good restaurant, Himalayan Restaurant is the place to go!!! In my opinion, if this restaurant were located downtown, it would be the most popular restaurant in the Twin Cities. It's that good!! Pick anything off of the menu, it's not gonna let you down. But my one suggestion that you may not notice on the menus is this: to drink, order the Mango Lassi read more

This restaurant in Prague is worth the visit...tge food, staff and ambiance are excellent! I highly recommend...especially if you are wanting Indian food. read more

I had the lunch buffet and I love everything! Seriously, the chefs at Himalayan Restaurant know how to pack the flavors and everything was fresh - just waiting for me to eat. I love that the buffet isn't overwhelmingly big, but everything tastes good. My only critique is the set up - there was seriously a bit of a jam because it's small and tucked in the corner.... which makes it likely you'll get stuck for a bit if there are a lot of people. But, seriously, it's worth getting stuck :D read more

Himalayan Restaurant - small, but delicious buffet setup - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Wonderful food. Friendly and attentive staff. Had the vegetarian combo for 2. Awesome curry! Highly recommend!

My friend visited me in Minneapolis and somehow has never tried Indian food! I had ordered here previously and LOVED their paneer. This time around we ordered the paneer, the lamb biriyani, and chicken tikka masala. All three were fantastic! The biriyani might be the best I've ever had! The rice was fragrant and had just the right amount of spices, the paneer was creamy and savory with a great texture. I ordered all three with medium spice levels and was thankful! It's not a heat spice, but extremely flavorful in a way that makes you sweat a little! I will absolutely be back! read more

The food NEVER disappoints. We had tika masala, lamb saag, portobello and potatoes, naan, chix tandoori.... Everything was amazing! Full of flavor and cooked to perfection when it comes to spice level and texture. It is unfortunate that the staff seem inexperienced, disorganized, and overwhelmed. They didn't appear short staff, plenty of waiters standing around, but no one seemed to know what their role was. We had 4 different people taking our order, dropping food/drinks, checking on our food. They forgot one dish, and we didn't get water until the end of our meal. I felt more sorry for them than disappointed. The food still makes up for the service I guess, I will be back. read more

Himalayan Restaurant - Chicken Tandoori - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I love this place! The food is amazing, the staff is always very friendly, I've never had to Wait very long for a table. The beer and wine selection is more extensive than most ethnic food spots in Minneapolis. I loved that they donated proceeds to the earth quake relief a couple of years ago. read more

We had absolutely top tier service while there. As long as you're respectful, you will find this an excellent lunch/dinner option. They also make an uncommon effort to keep the place clean and nice, and the outside eating area was decorated with many flowers. The food itself was the best Indian food I've ever had. I high recommend the goat curry and the kheer! read more

This cute place is great, we recently came to this area and we found this Restaurant, evenings it's always busy, I love the food and they are very nice people. They also have small but really good Buffett . The parking lot is good, inside it's very nice, always clean and it's feels great to be here with family and friends. They have wine, masala tea, etc. I think this is one of our favorite places now. read more

Love this place. Our household's standard order is palak paneer, lamb curry, and okra; never disappoints. Their naan is oddly sweet, so I get the delicious paratha instead. They also have an unusually good mango lassi. Pro tip: if you order momo, definitely get extra sauce. read more

We ate at the Himalayan restaurant not that long ago. It's a hopping place with lots of take out orders. Our service was sporadic, but the food was great. Medium was actually medium. Fast forward to tonight. I ordered this after looking it up: CHOYALA Boneless marinated meat cooked in tandoor and mixed with Kathmandu-style herbs. No recipes mentioned that I would be getting green peppers and onions with a little bit of chicken. It was awful. Maybe they should amend description to note these ingredients. I will go back, but it's going to be a while and I'll be sure to double what is in a dish. read more

I have lived in Minneapolis for several years and it wasn't until my recent trip back that I discovered the Himalayan restaurant. I was a little concerned due to the location, but I am really glad we decided to come. We visited the Himalayan restaurant on a Sunday around 7 PM. Our party of four was seated immediately. The menu was laid out by protein and style of dish. I appreciated how easy it was for me to find a vegetarian dish. We started with samosas and which came two to an order. The samosas were large enough for us to cut in half and share a monks for people. We also ordered another appetizer that consisted of fried potatoes and onions. I would recommend both appetizers. Four main entrées we ordered paneer, mixed curry, and a chicken curry. Everyone was very satisfied with their dish. Our group came to a consensus that the spice level, which ranges from 1 to 6, is slightly off. Those who would normally order a two would suggest ordering a three. Personally, I hate spicy food and my zero was perfect. We also decided to go with garlic naan. (The bread comes as one big piece. Two people can share it easily.) I also ordered a mango lassi For $3.50. It was good, but not the best. It definitely could have been colder and a little less sweet. I would probably order in again and ask for ice. By the time we had The bill split evenly for Waze it came to about $25 a person. This is somewhere I definitely see myself going the next time I am in town. read more

This review is long overdue. This has become one of our favorite places to order delivery from and we've visited several times and had great experiences. I have had nearly everything on the menu. Personal favorites include Kathamndu Momo, the Kathe, Chicken Tandoori, Choyala, Lamb Tikka Masala, Palak Panerr, and the Coconut Chicken Curry. The restaurant itself is great. It's bigger than it looks you enter and the staff here is super accommodating. It's great for groups and kids. They also have ample patio seating. Parking is easy in the attached lot or on nearby streets. I highly recommend Himalayan - give it a try. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Love this place so much. The chicken tikka masala is the best I've ever had! The garlic naan and mango lassi are also to die for. read more

Himalayan Restaurant - The owner and customer - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Came here once, twice and many times...and yet, I still order the same dish: Chicken Tikka Masala...what is wrong with me?! This dish is so good that I wish I could have a whole pot to myself. It is buttery and tasty, I really like to pour a lot onto my rice. Thinking about it makes me hungry again. Yes, I usually get that dish when I don't know how to make it. I will try one day:) We ordered an Okra dish as well and that is super good. It is a must! Don't forget to order Naan bread. We enjoyed our meal. I heard their buffet is great, I need to try that soon! I had never been to the old location on Franklin but this space is a good size, they have extra room in the back. Yes, it is a great place for group size. Bathroom is located downstairs so watch your steps! When I first visited here , they were a little slow in getting our orders and acknowledging us but things got better. Good job on that! They have a parking lot. read more

This is one of the best Himalayan restaurants I have eaten at. The naan is fantastic, the best I have ever had. The Himalayan platter is fantastic. The Choyala is so flavorful. I Don't usually enjoy okra but theirs is good. The owners take a lot of pride in their restaurant and decorate it with flowers keep it super clean and even brought a container of toys to keep our little ones busy. Almost everything I have had here is fantastic. As for spice level, I have a medium to high tolerance (not the MN scale) and usually like things hot. One step above Medium was too spicy for me; however, the food was so good I couldn't stop eating it. Next time I will get it one step less spicy. If you have the chance to visit this fantastic restaurant, I highly recommend it! read more

This restaurant is amazing! The best Momo's I have ever had. The sauce is next level as well. Also their chicken tikka masala and Naan is amazing. The Naan is so fresh and delicious! Defined need to try this spot if your in town! read more

Himalayan Restaurant - Momo's!!! - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Delicious! We had samosas, Momo, chicken tikka Marsala, and garlic naan. Every bite was satisfying.

This place is so delicious it's like Himalayan spices dance across your tastebuds, while your lips meditate on the worlds tallest peaks...All from the comfort of Dakota Homelands (Minneapolis). I usually get the mixed Vegetable and Chicken Curry, weekly we go here for date night 1x/week - it's a pilgrimage. The curry is creamy and the garlic naan is buttery clouds that carry the curry ever-so-gracefully to the promise land. MmmWhat are you waiting for? read more

Himalayan brings the best of Nepal to Minnesota. First things first, if you're a vegetarian you'll love it. For a change the place has many many vegetarian and vegan friendly options...albeit I must admit a lot of those dishes are based on potatoes, which is not surprising because potatoes are mainstay food in Nepal.... there go my calorie targets! *rolls eyes* I tried out a lot of things out here. All of their appetizers are amazing. First timers should try out pyaazi ( battered onion and deep fried fritters ), momos ( tibetan name for dumplings/dim-sum ) all of which goes well with masala chai ( not quite what you get at Starbucks... ). Their entree selection was quite good. Loved the palak paneer( spinach-paneer-cheese curry ), Katar-aloo ( jackfruit & pototoes ) and Kathmandu Curry ( mixed veggies in a creamy sauce ) But the piece-de-resistance is their naans. I tried out their plain and garlic naans both of which were simply fantastic, i can totally live of that for a year without getting tired of it. The only thing I did not like was the lamb-tikka-masala. The curry was good, but i felt the lamb was over burnt in the tandoor and something off my ordering list for now I'd also like to give a little shout out to the table staff too, for their amazing hospitality ... read more

Consistently delicious food in this local gem. Can get busy which can make service slow. The Himalayan Coffee is a cup of paradise.

Food was excellent, the service was very slow although friendly staff and restaurant was cold. The food will bring us back!

I have never eaten here before but I had heard great things from fellow yelpers and friends. I have never eaten at Himalayan Food before and was told to try the Tika masala and it did not disappoint. I had to ask the waitress for more detail of the spice scale because I am a fan of the heat! she was very helpful in describing their level of heat - it goes from a scale of 1 to 7 and I chose a six it was perfect. The flavors, the creaminess, the spice was delicious! The naan and momo was also very good. I will definitely go back here again - I am a fan! even just writing this review has my mouth watering and craving this meal! read more

I had to come to Himalayan after at least a dozen friends and colleagues recommended the restaurant to me as one of the places I HAD to try in the Twin Cities. I finally had dinner here a few weeks ago (pre-covid) with a friend and ordered the veggie curry. The food was absolutely delicious - fresh and filling on a cold evening. The service was very friendly and the ambiance was warm and fairly quiet - perfect for catching up with a friend over dinner. Would love to try the other dishes on the menu next time I'm in MN - I've heard really good things about the momos! read more

I love this place. We often go for lunch. They gave a decent lunch buffet that many people love but I prefer to order right off the menu. The curry dishes and naan are amazing. The curry comes with a side of rice. The portions sizes are good and the price for what you are getting is pretty reasonable. read more

Oh my gosh!!!!! I cannot day enough about this place. I have been dreaming, yes you read that right dreaming about the palak paneer, tikka masala and naan since I went here. I cannot wait to go back and get more! Establishment- they have their own parking lot although it is small it fits a good number of cars and there is street parking right there. Inside they have a front room with a buffet area for lunch and then a back room for seating as well. Food- this was my first time ordering this type of food off a menu so I was nervous but oh wow was it good. You can also choose how spicy you want the dishes. read more

Some of the best take out in the city! The menu is huge and there are some hits and misses... the samosas' fried puff pastry is too thick, and the ratio to filling is all wrong but thats the only thing we've gotten that we wouldn't order again. Veggie minis are so good. And all of the sauces for everything! Chicken Biryani is delish and probably 3 meals worth. The thukpa is also yummy. I will say that the heat is no joke! I like things spicy and the medium burns my lips so I order a level lower. So many good options it's hard to choose! read more

I really enjoyed this place I like that they had a parking lot. I also thought the price was reasonable. The waiters were friendly and the atmosphere was pretty cool. I like that there is a very diverse crowd of people that went to this restaurant. I don't think I would go back again on a Friday night that was a little too crowded maybe try and go during peak times. I'm definitely going to try this place again and I would recommend it to other people. read more

Delicious Momos (we had the lamb) with a perfect dipping sauce. The chicken Biryani was very good and the saag was wonderful. It's just mustard greens sautéed with spices but very very tasty! We dropped in and they still had our takeout order ready in about 10 minutes. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Food was 5/5, sooooooo delicious and hot. We ordered a few appetizers and a main dish to split. It was a lot of food for the price and was so tasty&satisfying. Giving a four because the service was terrible. The waitress walked up to us, no greeting, asked if we were ready to order, we said no and she just walked away. She was very unfriendly and made us feel awkward as guests. This was our first time so we had questions about the menu...waitress seemed annoyed w our questions and acted like we were dumb for not knowing. We only saw our waitress a few times throughout the dining experience. Waited for our check for about 25 minutes before another waitress awkwardly checked us out. Owner also commented about the large amount of food my friend and I ordered An improvement in service would earn a 5. read more

Fantastic authentic food that will leave you wanting more! I'm a picky eater and I loved this place!! It's my partner's favorite, and I'm really glad he took me. There's something for everyone. Note: Can't speak to their COVID procedures because I haven't been there since that. read more

I didn't eat here tonight. I am new to online ordering. I made a mistake and ordered online thinking I was ordering from a local Himalayan Restaurant here in Southern California. I paid the bill online and left a tip. When I arrived at my local restaurant, they let me know they did not have my order. I called and expected to get the run around a bit getting a refund, that didn't happen, they took care of my refund and by the time I got my order in California, a refund notification and receipt was already emailed and texted to me. Thank you so very much for making this happen. I'm not sure my local restaurant would have done that. If I ever get to MN I guarantee I will eat at your establishment. Thank You. read more
