As a regular at Himalayan Taste in Temecula, I can honestly say this place has my heart. Every single visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The food is consistently incredible rich, flavorful, and always made fresh. No matter what I order, it never disappoints. The staff feels like family at this point. They're always so kind, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. It's rare to find a restaurant that nails both amazing food and genuine hospitality every time. I absolutely love this place and recommend it to everyone I know. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out. This is hands down one of my favorite spots in town! read more

Himalayan Taste Temecula - Indian Near Me - Temecula, California

I havent been here in over a year. I was there last night and the taste of the food has gone down since than. Tikka masala is one of my favorite Indian dishes - but not here; I don't remember the tikka masala tasting this bad before. The rice was small-grain and seemed undercooked, with a hard texture when it should have been soft. The portion size was generous, though. The butter chicken tasted fine. I ordered to-go over the phone. They said it'll be 30 minutes. I arrived a little after 30 minutes and they still had me wait an additional 10 minutes for the food to be cooked and they rushed to cook the food! And this was after I tipped them! read more

This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in town. In my opinion, their chicken tikka masala is the best in flavor and texture. If I could change one thing, it would be the portion. It's way too small for the price. Portions aren't generous. I have only taken orders to go, but did do a pick up once and the service was fast. The restaurant itself is a great size with plenty of parking. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We've eaten here and the food and service was great. We enjoyed the ambience and were not worried about having the food rushed out to us which was with good timing. I do recommend coming out here for lunch, you'll enjoy the food. read more

After a day of wine tasting, the only logical next step is food--and for a birthday celebration with the kids, Indian food was the birthday girl's top pick. Lucky for us, I knew just the spot: Himalayan Taste in Temecula. Fortunately, we arrived early and there was no wait, but word to the wise--it quickly got busy after we were seated. The service? Solid. Not blowing any socks off, but definitely good enough to keep us smiling. We went family style with Lamb Tikka Masala, Chicken Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala, and lamb chops. Everything was very good and packed with flavor, but the star of the show for me was the lamb chops. Seriously, who would expect lamb chops this good at a Himalayan spot in Temecula? I'd come back just craving lamb alone. That cute little animal tastes amazing with their spices and the magic of the tandoori oven. Himalayan Taste, you've earned yourself a regular customer whenever I'm in the area. Good job, and I'll be back for sure! read more

This is my backup Indian food place due to its location compared to my home. The menu was robust. The food was good. Prices weren't bad. I felt bad for the waiter, though. He was doing his best, but he was waiting all of the tables by himself on Valentine's day. Despite that, he held his own nicely. The ambiance in there is calm with a dimly lit warm feeling. I don't mind the Baliwood productions if mood catches me right, but it gets obnoxious after a while. HTT doesn't have that issue. I'd go again. read more

I had the pleasure of dining here with a couple of my friends the other night and the food was delicious. Even though we came in closer to closing the service was spectacular. Our server was kind and patient while taking our order and offered great suggestions to fit each of our personal tastes. The restaurant is more on the quaint side as far as size goes but the flavors are rich and well-developed here. We ordered the Butter Chicken, Lamb Karahi, and Lamb Saag along with some of the Garlic Naan and it was a delectable feast between the three of us. The Lamb was especially tender and the flavors really did pop in each dish. The spices here can be as hot as you could handle as far as heat but the Mild spice level is very well-balanced. If you are a spice lover this is the place that can and will kick it up a notch for you for certain read more

Always a delight having meals from here when we lived nearby. Have dined in once and ordered takeout several times. Although the wait time for our dishes took quite a while when dining in, the flavor never disappoints! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I have ordered takeout from Himalayan Taste about five times now. Whenever I am in the mood to eat Indian food this is my go to spot. I always order online and pick up so I have never had any issues with service. I have yet to dine in. Picking up my orders I have seen the inside of the restaurant and I would describe it as casual dining with Indian accents. The food is always delicious. My favorite is chicken tikka masala with a side of garlic naan. Many dishes can pack a punch with spice so be mindful if you are spice shy. I enjoy the white rice as it is seasoned with what I believe to be cloves, star anise, and other spices. The rice has a nice aroma and is different than plain white rice. Every time I order take out I receive a serving of sweet coconut rice pudding that I don't order so I am assuming it is standard practice for the restaurant to include it. Food is made quickly and I don't have to wait long for pickup. read more

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. read more

There's a lot of great things always said about this place. Some say it's a hidden gem. I frequent the Sprouts and Esporta that share the plaza, so it's never been so hidden to me. This was the first time I considered giving it a try. I don't come across many bad Indian spots and here was no different. The ambience inside is nice and I had some time so I dined in. Lots of tables for groups or even solo diners. I was helped quickly and served in a timely manner. From the lentil soup to the main course, everything was satisfying. My samosas were big and filling. My tikka masala was great, with big chunks of fish. Not sure how common it is but I would've preferred a brown rice option, but that's a small gripe of mine. Looking forward to returning and trying something else. read more

This restaurant has very good food, it's neat and clean inside and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant is not particularly fancy inside. It basically seems like a local family type, where the emphasis is on good food for a reasonable price. I ordered the lamb vindaloo for $18.99, and unfortunately was told I could not order it "mild", as is the case for most of the other dishes. It was therefore a little too spicy for my liking, but still quite good. I also ordered a side of garlic naan for $3.99 which was quite excellent. read more

Vynikající jídlo!! Yummy!! We tried this place out today. Himalayan Taste Temecula is in the Esporta/NFCU shopping center off Winchester & Nicolas, right across Chaparral HS. Upon walking in, I was greeted with that yummy, delicious, aromatic smell of Indian spices. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, 2 orders of the Garlic Naan (since they don't give you any w your entree), and the Saag Paneer for my daughter. Since I placed the order there, I kinda had to wait a long minute before I got my takeout order (which was cool, since i didn't mind waiting). Jack (guy at the counter) offered me a cup of iced water while I waited, and I thought that was very nice of him. Chicken Tikka Masala was very good. Vynikající!! It was flavored with lots of spices and very flavorful. We got it medium level spicy, but it was pretty spicy (that's ok, I like my food on fire, yum)!! I also liked how it was made with white meat chicken breast. Saag Paneer was alright. It was more on the bland side, it wasn't as flavorful as other Saag Paneers I've had from other places. Garlic Naan was delicious!! It had bits and pieces of fresh garlic and chopped cilantro which gave it a really scrumptious taste!! This was even amazing by itself, without dipping it in the Saag Paneer or the Chicken Tikka Masala. I've yet to try other items from here. Service was good and food was fiiiire!! Definitely recommend!! read more

Yum!!!! We waited a long time, too long in fact to go here. Now we cannot wait to get back. Our buddies had agreed to join us some time ago but you know, life. We had a birthday to celebrate so we stopped in and man is it as tasty as shared! My experience with Indian food has been that I can never find it made as authentic and as spiced just right, meat stewed perfectly, garlic naan made perfectly - as I can in Salisbury, England (my husband's hometown). Well we have!!! In our current hometown. We are so going to be regulars here now. My hubs makes curries for us too but he deserves a break now and then. Ha! Our kids will love it here! read more

Too lazy to go out and so was the kids, so ordered thru Uber Eats. Food was excellent and very tasty. The spiciness was perfect, hot enough to make you actually taste the food and not cry. Fast delivery service from uber. The only problem was my order was not complete, it was missing the butter chicken. Did a refund thru uber eats. We will see if I get my money back. Aside from that I was satisfied and our belly is happy. read more

Finally had a chance to try out this Himalayan Indian cuisine. Restaurant is small and cozy, and wasn't busy when we got there. Ordered butter Himalayan mixed appetizer, chicken curry, and lamb tikka masala. Although we had to wait for a while, all the dishes came out together and real hot. Both curries were thick and very tasty. Blends very well with the light flaky basmati rice. The mixed appetizers especially the veggie samosa tasted very well. Where service is concerned, it can be improved. As the restaurant get more guests, notice that the servers were not very attentive when their guests try to get their attention. Overall, I recommend this restaurant and would return again in the future. read more

The food here was very fresh and authentic. I came across this place and wanted to try it out since I was already in the area. I had the chicken Karahi with medium spice, a fresh salad, and garlic naan bread. The food definitely had a kick to it, next time I'll get the mild spice. The food is even tastier the next day and the spices simmered. The service was average. The staff wasn't very enthusiastic or overly friendly. The ambiance was decent. Pretty small restaurant but popular restaurant so it filled up pretty quick. The food is worth a try or a trip, I'll say. read more
