    Old Monk lager
    Barry H.

    If you are looking for something "out of the ordinary" in the Temecula/Murrieta area, why not give Himalayan a try. Friends of ours staying with us for a couple weeks like Indian food, so we stopped in. So glad we did. As soon as you open the door, the smell of curry takes over your senses (in a good way). We were immediately seated and our waiter came over, poured the water and took our order(s). Shelly and I chose the Mango Chicken entrée (which came with Jasmine rice) with a side order of garlic Naan. To wash it down, I ordered an Old Monk lager (brewed in India ). Fantastic meal...chicken was tender, curry savory, rice fluffy and tasty, Naan just simply delicious. We will return.

    This place is always so delicious! I've ordered a few different items over the many times I've dined here and everything is consistently delicious and clean and authentic. The food is the best Indian food in the area. Very spacious inside with good amount of seating. Service is good too. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine.

    Our delicious dinner for two - Saag paneer, butter chicken, tandoori salmon (medium rare perfect), garlic naan and rice.

    We're from San Francisco and when we visit Temecula, Himalayan Taste Temecula is always on our list of restaurants to eat at. I discovered the tomato soup last year. Learned about this delicious bowl of steaming hot and tasty mouthwatering soup from another yelp review. The review was from a mother that said her son loved the tomato soup. Kid? Tomatoes? Hmmmmm, doesn't equate to me, but it must be good if a child likes it. It is sooooooo frickin' delicious. It can be 90 degrees outside and I will still order this hot bowl of yumminess. The food at Himalayan Taste Temecula brings me back to India. It's authentic. It's delicious. It's addictive. The service is spot on and friendly. Enjoy!!! P.S. - Bad habit and I apologize (again). I always get so excited about eating that I forget to take pictures. I finished off the soup before I could snap a pic.

    Sometimes a meal is so good, so amazingly satisfying, that your taste buds remain fixed in time. Your palate will not let you forget, it will not let you move on, until you satisfy that impulse again. And so, after two consecutive trips to this restaurant, here's my review. Cuisine: 5/5. I've enjoyed Indian/Pakistani food for years. I almost stuck with my typical selections, but good lord, I'm grateful I listened to my friend and ordered the Butter Chicken. This dish, this one dish, leaves you with the feeling of before, and after. Ridiculously tasty. Try it for yourself. Beverage - 5/5. I'm not here for the beverages, I'm here for the food. That said, nothing like a refreshing Taj Mahal on a hot summer day. Service - 5/5. Friendly, efficient, and down to earth. Ambiance - 5/5. Welcoming and earthy vibes. No complaints. Overall - I think you already know, but 5's across the board. This place will now be a part of my regular food destinations when I'm in Temecula. Looking forward to returning.

    GREAT TASTING FOOD! If you're in the mood for some Indian food you'll need to check out this spot! Service: VERY WELCOMING and friendly. They do a good job checking in and being accommodating Food: I got the garlic naan bread with Lamb time malasa! It was DELICIOUS!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    16. Chicken Tandoori
    Norman R.

    Best Indian Himalayan in California! Their Saag Curry is amazing to say the least. A must visit when in Temecula.

    Jeff S.

    The best Chicken Tikka Marsela and Aloo Gobi I've ever had. Perfect garlic naan as well. Ambiance here and service are OK, beer and wine option at affordable prices. But man the food is the star. I've eaten Indian all over So Cal (LA, LB, Little India in Artesia) and as mentioned this tops them all.

    Himalayan Taste (Temecula), 39760 Winchester Rd, Suite A, Temecula, CA92591. Indian cuisine. The restaurant is modern looking and clean. The food is always excellent and consistent every time we're here although it can take a while for the food to be served. #Lamb sukha was really good. A must try ! #Goat curry good and recommended too. #Chicken korma.

    Took us too long to try this Indian gem. Everything we ordered had a depth of flavor like no other. Very happy that it's really close to our house. We started out with the sampler appetizer which was fantastic. We also had the tandoori chicken and vindaloo chicken with a side of garlic naan. They provide generous portions and we could've had 2 more people to help us. Luckily it will be great leftovers. The staff is very friendly as well. Definitely will be our go to for Indian food.

    The moment we walked in the aromas of the foods all came at us and got us even more excited for our upcoming meal. It was pretty busy but still some seating available. Others grabbed food to go near the door as well. Our waters always stayed filled, with the servers all being very attentive. the food was delicious, and everything was very clean. Noise volume was midrange, which is very appropriate for the setting. The only real downside to our visit was how long it took to get our food, but once it started to come out of the kitchen it was all fresh, hot, and came out all together.

    Good food with a lot of flavor. The fish tikka masala was good. It is made with salmon. The shrimp tandoori had a lot of flavor. The basmati rice was good.

The lunch buffet is consistently high quality, serving Northern‑style Indian dishes that are incredibly flavorful and infused with aromatic spices. It's also very reasonably priced and honestly one of the best deals in town when you consider the excellent food, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere. The buffet menu changes often, which keeps things fun. Some of our personal favorites include the juicy tandoori and Lasuni chicken, tikka masala, coconut curry chicken, and definitely the goat curry. The side dishes are just as delicious -- like the daal, aloo, and spinach paneer -- and the hot, fresh garlic naan brought directly to your table is always a highlight. Skip the boring chain restaurants and support this local gem!

In a quiet strip of Jefferson, where the Temecula breezes blow, There sits a temple of the spice, with a warm and steady glow.

From the copper bowls, a steam arises--a gold and crimson haze, The Tikka Masala sings a song that sets the heart ablaze. With Butter Chicken rich and smooth, a velvet, creamy dream, And Samosas crisp and golden, the masters of the scheme. The Lunch Buffet is spread like wealth for any hungry soul, Where Saag Paneer and Chana wait to fill a weary bowl.

They are ok with service dogs sitting inside and there was a lot of outdoor patio seating in the shade which I liked because you also get a nice BREEZE... GYRO PLATE: 10/10 I usually don't like to eat too much gyros but, this one has so much flavor that I'm going we agreed to call it the STAR OF THE SHOW!! Love the rice and pita with hummus as the side items that came with it. You can also choose fries or salad as sides as well... SPICY CHICKEN TANDOORI: 9/10 It was very good. It was just a bit dry for me but, the spice was really nice. It wasn't overly spicy like Thai spicy chili peppers or ghost peppers. It was a nice spice like a cayenne pepper spice flavor on the chicken. PRO TIP pour some Garlic sauce over the chicken for a more enhanced moist and creamy sensation... FALAFEL: 10/10 My favorite appetizer! It's also interesting to see it shaped like a DONUT!! I loved it and I dipped it with the TZATZIKI sauce...

There's a small parking lot on the side of the building but can be difficult to find a spot during peak hours due to neighboring businesses. It's a classic counter-service setup with indoor and some outdoor seating. I tried the Steak Filet Mignon Kabob Rice Plate; the meat was flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with their garlic and tzatziki sauces. They also have sumac chipotle and mango chili at their self-serve sauce bar. Portions for my plate were fair for the price, but slightly smaller than other spots I frequent (though the flatbreads and burgers I saw looked big). Everything is made fresh to order here, so expect about a 15-minute wait if you walk in for takeout, but you can order online ahead of time. I noticed a few people swinging by for quick pickups while I waited, so that's definitely the way to go for next time I get takeout. Overall, a solid experience and I'll definitely be back.
