    Food is plentiful and delicious, sizzling lamb tandoori with vegetables, chicken curry, rice and Naan garlic bread were all perfect, generous potions. Service was attentive to our needs. Also offering wonderful plastic containers with tight lids for our leftovers to bring home. Checked in about 3:30pm on a Friday to beat the crowds, loved that it is a small quaint restaurant here in Menifee, noise level was low, easy to have conversation, all in all a great experience. Definitely recommend giving Himalayan Taste a try!

    This place was amazing and I am looking forward to going back. What I loved about it is so many Indian restaurants are so heavy on the spices all the dishes start tasting the same. From the Garlic Naan that was cooked to perfection light not dense. The Shrimp Curry cooked with its warm turmeric cream based sauce. The Aloo Gobi with its rich tomato based sauce with Himalayan spices, potatoes, and cauliflower. Veggie Momos with this amazing spicy tomato and Serrano sauce with garlic, cilantro and lots of spices like Turmeric. This place made my taste buds dance. I highly recommend great service, generous portions enough to take home for later. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

    Again a first time dinning experience at a new restaurant here in Menifee California Have not eaten any Indian food for the past 30 years. I don't remember it being this spicy still it was not overwhelmingly hot but it has a kick to it probably the curry The server was kind enough to bring some yogurt sauce which cut the spiciness down for me. Plenty of rice and so much food I had to take home almost half of it. Worth the $17 price as it was good quality and quantity too. As Arnie says I'll be back

    Lots of vegan options

    Had #26 to go. Was recommended by the waiter the last time I came here and vowed to try it next. It did not disappoint. I loved that it had everything in it that I love. Potato, zucchini, the taste of raisin exploding in my mouth. So delicious. One meal usually lasts me for 2 sittings. I also picked up some garlic naan. My fav.

    Lentil soup, amazing, fresh bread, and of course they're traditional yogurt

    Amazing. Authentic Indian food. I've traveled around the world , as I share in my newest publication, RECIPES FOR LIFE, and I must say this is the best Indian food. I've tried in a long time and it's sharing California down the street from my house. I am beyond blessed to have such amazing, authentic Indian food so near me.

    Saw this while cruising down the street. Looks like they barely opened up not too long ago so I wanted to give them a try since there are not too many Indian restaurants near Menifee. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala with rice (Medium Spice Level) and Garlic Naan. Naan is oven-baked flat bread. It's like eating a freshly made tortilla. The flavor was absolutely delicious! I think next time I want to try this again but spicier. Expect to pay $15-20 on average here. The price is just right. When I first walked in, I felt they're confused and didn't say hi within a few seconds. Later they provided with great service. There was always someone checking in on how I was doing and offered more water and rice. The atmosphere is really chill with low ambient lighting. For the most part the restaurant looked very clean and spotless. I will come again soon to try a different dish.

    WOW!!! The best butter chicken I've had the staff is awesome and also some of the best garlic naan. Will 100% be back!

    The smell entering the place was amazing, the set up was clean. The service was good and the food was flavorful. Chicken was a bit tough but the flavors made up for it. Portions were ok but im used to buffet style or family style dining experience with this kind of food because its so flavorful and good I would love a variety! We also ended up all getting the same thing because we didnt know the names of the foods we usually eat because there are no pictures on the menu so we didnt want to experiment we were hungry! My only gripe and thats just because its not what I usually eat it wasnt a family style plate so we couldn't try a bunch of stuff. Thats just my preference

    79. Garlic Naan  Soft and buttery, perfect naan

    I took this to go, and it was packed and traveled well. Food was delicious. Really glad to have Indian food in the area, and a solid spot at that. That momo sauce was so good. The portions are large, but not overdone, and not at the cost of quality. The chicken tika masala was perfect, with a rich, flavorful sauce. Man it's so good. I'm eating more as I write this. The lamb josh rogan was warm and cozy, added some spice to really seal the deal - the lamb was so tender. Saag paneer was amazing, also rich and creamy. The aromatic basmati rice and buttery garlic naan really tied the whole thing together. Looking forward to trying our other items on the menu!

    Garlic naan, biriyani, curry chicken and raita.

    I want to update my original review. I have ordered food to go about 3 times and I can share that the consistency of the food is great! It always is GOOD! Yesterday, I went in with my friend and service was great! The waiter was prompt sitting us, as well as getting our order. Food came out sizzling hot, fast and delicious as always! To the management, well done! Your staff has been trained well and provide good customer service.

    Smells immaculate! Taste immaculate! Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! Soooo happy Himalayan Taste is here in Menifee! We were driving to Temecula to get great Indian food (honorable mention to Hyderabad Cafe) and now we don't have to! We ordered the Butter chicken and Coconut chicken, samosas, and garlic naan. All amazing! Most tender chicken you're going to taste! Everything came out hot and fresh! We will definitely become regulars!

Both plates were super good and satisfying. The chicken was packed with flavor, but not overwhelming. The Kafta (minced beef) was seasoned to perfection. We also ordered a couple of 'Baklavas' to go.

I was very disappointed with my food. The chicken needs like a different recipe or the way it it's cooked or the quality because I've made better Mediterranean food for the first time my life. The hummus was very plain and unflavored. The Mediterranean salad better than anything else but it wasn't to my expectations. Sadly, I will not be coming here again. I really wish this was better. I was excited to try a new place. I was in the mood for it, but kind of just die down the moment I took a bite of everything. But thanks for the experience. The fries are good, but that's it.
