This was an authentic place and I live the food. I had the veggie coconut curry and the Dal soup. Both were excellent

Ordered the lamb chops, chicken tikka, and some garlic naan11/10 . There is so many layers as to way I love this place the eating experience eating the food almost feels like an activity/form of entertainment I would definitely recommend trying multiple dishes with family and sharing i feel its best consumed this way.It is so immersive and interactive, great service , great portions to cost ratio this place is a must if ever you're in the IE temecula area read more

I've been to dozens of Indian restaurants in the country and Himalayan Taste in Temecula is BY FAR the best Indian cuisines my family and I have ever had. The food is spectacularly delicious. The atmosphere and staff make the dine in experience such a joyous experience as well. Highly recommend to anyone that is even remotely in the area, it's worth the drive! read more

Chicken tikka masala here is good, although I found the quality to sometimes be inconsistent a few times I went. I also like their pan, basmati rice, and mango lassi. read more

Food was delicious!!! Absolutely delicious! Service was great and ambience was good. Great menu with fair prices. Definitely going back.

Let's get this place to a 5*! Best India food in the area. Most people here wouldn't probably branch out to try, but of you know what's up, it's the best. Have not dined in, but always order for pick up to take home and everything is packaged nicely and exactly what we ordered. read more

The food was so delicious! We ordered onion bhaji (crunchy onion like fritter), veggie momo's (steamed dumpling), chicken tikka masala, veggies in coconut curry sauce,. I would not get the veggie momo's again but would def get all the rest again! We asked for medium spice and they really listened where most places still don't get it that we can handle some heat. We'll be back next time we are in town! Ambience is not the best even though it's very clean. It doesn't exude the warm experience I've felt in going to other Indian restaurants, but for the price it was pretty fantastic. Job well done! Servers were quick and helpful as well. read more

We enjoyed every bite of the meal we had at Himalayan Taste. The place got busy which was a great sign. The restaurant is simple, but clean. The service was no-frills but efficient. I would absolutely come back to eat here again. The tomato soup! Amazing. Their lamb dish was so tender. We also ordered the butter chicken which was so delicious. Their meat cuts and servings were generous. The mango lassi was also a nice treat. Getting hungry now... lol read more

I hate to post this because I love their food and want to support local businesses - but Himalyan Taste has a problem with consistency. I've found it's a problem with most places, but usually the variability is not enough to make me stop coming. It might be one dish out of three that is not as flavorful or overcooked, but not that serious. It's generally still good. But then I had one order bad enough that I only ate a little of everything (I always get takeout). The Tandoori Chicken was oddly pale looking and had no taste. The Saag Paneer was soggy and tasteless. The Butter chicken was bland and the chicken tasted old. I can only describe everything as tasting stale. It was the first time I just threw everything out. It was like they had a chef whose first time was cooking Indian food. I have been patronizing this place regularly, but I stopped coming for months. Then I couldn't hold back any longer and decided to give it another try. Everything was back to being good. So I have mixed feelings about coming here - they have the best Indian food in the area, but it's rather expensive especially when you might have to throw everything out. read more

Excellent food this was my first time here and the food was very good. We ordered the lunch special which was a great deal. The chicken Tika masala and curry chicken were so tender. The lamb and vegetable samosas were some of the best I have had. The staff were so kind and attentive and the restaurant was spotless. I will definitely be back again when I am in town.. read more

Delight! Delight! Delight! We were referred to this restaurant by a guy from the cigar shop. It is in an unassuming strip mall. The place is clean, it has all the Indian delights you could ever think up. We ordered a hodge podge and our dishes appeared at our table when they were ready: fresh, hot and delicious. The servers were Indian and a bit difficult to understand, but they were friendly and efficient. We went a bit overboard on our food ordering, but there's where the delight came in again: nummy leftover Indian food for breakfast! read more

Ordered in after reading reviews and by far the best Indian I've had locally. The veggie dishes were so good, coconut curry, saag and Chana masala. So glad to have found this spot and grateful for the veg options! read more

This place is amazing! Went and got a wide variety of things and all were 10/10 honestly. A hidden lil gem in Temecula! Highly recommend the shrimp tandoori, garlic naan and chicken curry. The service was phenomenal with friendly staff. read more

We went to Himalayan Taste Temecula because they have a high rating on Yelp. Let me start this off by saying that this place has one of the best Indian food around. We went there for lunch and tried their mixed Himalayan appetizer and it was incredible. The sauces that came with it also added so much flavor. For entree, we tried their Lamb biriany and coconut shrimp. The Lamb biriany was good but the coconut shrimp was one of the best I've had. The service was attentive and great. I am generally not big on Indian food but this one definitely makes me reconsider! read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would! The flavors packed into every bite with every dish were incredibly well balanced and classic for this Regional cuisine. First time ordering from this restaurant and we are thrilled to have an extraordinary restaurant so close by! This time was take out, perfectly packed so no oils could spill, and next time we'll try dining in. We don't eat alot, so only one entree and some side dishes were plenty for two adults. We had Chicken Tandoori, Vegetable Samosas, Chicken Momo, and Garlic Naan Flatbread. All of this plus tip came out just shy of $40! In today's restaurant landscape, that's quite a good deal. Side note: so many take-out orders these days; please don't forget to tip at pickup (not online), so our local independent eateries can maintain their quality of food AND remain open!! They do more than just throw your food in a box; they take pride and care to ensure it is secure for you to take with you and get it to your destination in top shape. Back to the food... Chicken Tandoori was flavorful, tender, great cuts of chicken pieces and plentiful (enough for two!) Vegetable Samosas were HUGE! Packed with a mash of traditional veggies and a great sauce on the side Chicken Momos were flavorful dumplings that provided a nice side flavor not normally a part of traditional Indian cooking. We both loved them; thankfully there were six large pieces, again with a side sauce Finally, we had the Garlic Naan, which was the only disappointment of the meal. By that, I mean it was disappointing that we couldn't eat them all lol!! Too much great food! A everyone else has said, probably the best Naan in town! Definitely the best Naan I've had in many years! Order online, over the phone, in person, or sit down in their spacious dining room. Whatever you do, eat here and enjoy!! Side note2: Been managing restaurants for over 15 years; trust me, this place is great!! read more

What a great find! Close to the Temecula wineries. This will be a regular stop for us after visiting the wineries. Everything was excellent. Wonderfully seasoned, every dish had its distinct, delicious flavors. We had the Saag Paneer, Vegetable Coconut Curry, Lamb Biryani, and Garlic Naan. Medium spicy was more mild to me, but that is just my taste. I can usually handle pretty spicy. Give them a try! I highly recommend it. read more

Always a pleasure coming here! I come here at least once a week and the staff is always so kind and accommodating!

Super authentic and very tasty! Favorite Indian food in the valley! Highly recommend!!

It was the first time coming here on a Friday evening, and I was pleasantly surprised to find Indian cuisine in the Temecula area that tasted high quality and refined. It's an added bonus that the flavors were specific to the Himalayas because I had never tried this type of Indian food before. The place is small and cozy compared to other much larger chain restaurants in the area, so it filled up quickly. The service was okay. They definitely need more servers as they seemed limited in this area. I wanted to order takeout but was unable to since the servers were busy doing work on the kitchen. Also, it was uncomfortable to eat with people waiting for a seat 12 inches away from you. I suggest moving the waiting area outside since the space is much too small for a table and guests waiting to eat. read more

Food was excellent! Service was so-so. There were many table's against the wall with cushion type seating. When I was being placed next to the service door at a 4 top I asked for a diff table at the wall. Was told a big party would be coming in. One hour later NO BIG PARTIES. I have worked wait staff. This was just lazy on wait staff part. Food was excellent Service could be so much better! read more

The food was just ok. I've come here twice. The first time i ordered chicken kardai and chicken biryani. The biryani has lots of flavor profiles. Chicken kardai was ok. They need to work on their service. I came in and was seated with a regular dinner menu when I went at lunchtime I had asked them to give me their lunch menu and they told me they didn't have a lunch menu. The staff seems to be new coming from another restaurant maybe and don't know the differences between the 2 restaurants. there is a lunch menu but every time I've come now they don't give you that menu unless you ask for it which is not what should happen they should give you both menus so you can decide what you want Note to the manager. One of the staff was a bit rude to the customer, the other person on my table. read more

When we walked in, the place was empty. Almost half the tables had dirty dishes/ left over food on them. Which was disgusting. By the time we had eaten our meal there were still tables that had not been cleaned. The food was just ok. Tip #1 Clean your tables promptly. Tip #2 Straighten out all the crooked pictures hanging on the walls. Tip #3 Clean your tables, so customers don't want walk out, like us. read more

Wow! This was a surprise takeout lunch and I was quite impressed and happy to enjoy this delectable food! The food was packaged extremely well to promote heat retention and to minimize spills during transportation. I had the salmon tandoori and a vegetable samosa. Both were perfectly seasoned , cooked well and oozing with deliciousness. I really appreciated the fact that the food was not saturated in grease and I was able to relish the true flavors and textures of my meal. The servings were generous and could easily be shared or portioned into two meals. Very excited about this restaurant and cannot wait to try more items on the menu and dine in next time. Highly recommended if you like Indian cuisine. read more

I usually let things sit for a bit before writing a review, but I'm posting this almost straightaway for being the place that I believe may make the tastiest Korma I've tried in recent memory. Seems like this business location has only opened in the last few months and has the potential to be my go-to curry spot after my previous usual spot down the road closed/rebranded. Ordered vegetable momo & medium spicy lamb korma. It was for pickup so I only had a brief glance of the dining area (all indoor seating). The momos were okay but I couldn't get enough of the tender lamb, basmati rice, and savory korma. The medium spiciness had enough of a kick to complement the creaminess. 4.5 and hoping to try another dish or two later on. read more

Food and service was great. We had a party of 12 and the restaurant was very accommodating. They even wrote out separate checks for everyone! I got the Dal lunch special and it was good! I also got Samosas on the side and they are huge! The tamarind and green dipping sauces were good. I was not really a fan of ther naan as it was too stretchy/rubbery and tough to chew. The Tikka masala was good according to all that had it. From looking at it, it seemed to have too much cream and not enough tomato but I didn't taste it so not sure. All in all this is very decent Indian food but there was definitely a lack of salt in almost everything. I'd like to go back and try more of their offerings. read more

My family loves this place!! We started with the veggie samosas, which were so full of flavor and cooked to crispy perfection. The momo was something I've never had at an Indian restaurant so I'm not sure what they should be like but they were delicious and paired well with the curry dipping sauce. The lamb korma was so tender and delicious. The coconut shrimp was so good I practically licked the dish clean. We can't get enough of the saag paneer and we also tried the mango chicken for the first time. Everything was enjoyed by the whole group. The staff is always very accommodating as my grandmother is in a wheelchair. I'm already looking forward to next time. read more
