    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Edith S.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 and service thank for amazing food Great food and great people! The dishes were tasty and fresh, and the staff was super helpful and attentive throughout the visit."5. "The flavors were incredible, and the presentation was beautiful. On top of that, the service was fast and courteous. A perfect place for a nice meal."

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!

We have been loyal customers and it's dissapointing that we are not valued.
