Fabulous meal from beginning to end! They've been open 12 years and have been named best Indian restaurant several times over and it certainly shows. Their full menu is varied and robust. Dishes like clay oven specialties, several types of curries, (seafood, chicken, goat, lamb), momos, biryani, soup and even Himalayan fried noodles and kabobs. Express Lunch menu (menu notes which items are gluten free and vegan), includes lentil soup, salad, butter naan and choice of white or brown rice. We really appreciated the brown rice option. Chicken tika masala - tandoori roasted chicken simmered in a mild creamy sauce. Our sweet server (owner?) mentioned that about 95% of the people love this dish and I am definitely in that group. Wonderful flavors and generous amount of tender chicken. Tofu, kale & potato curry - ingredients all simmered with basil and coconut milk. Very flavorful and seemed healthy. My husband would definitely order again. Our server was friendly, caring and was always smiling. Two servers were handling the entire dining room plus the outdoor diners and they were seamless in their efforts. Our server had recommended the tika masala to me and she was curious what I thought of it. I would order it again tomorrow! The interior is decorated comfortably. Located across the street from the town green. A lovely and enjoyable first time dining experience here. read more

First, it's a really cute spot with a beautiful windows lighted corner right on the square, perfect for people watching, or with their out door side wall patio you could hear the music that might be playing on the Thursday nights on the green. Inside the restaurant there is a calming feeling as they were playing slow Hindu chanting music low on their sound system. The first server We began with was very young and maybe learning the menu still as he was really not that good at answering questions on the menu. As soon as we checked in on Yelp, suddenly service picked up. Another more experienced server brought us first, hand towels to wipe out hands (a nice touch, but the towels were almost cold when he brought them, was it an after thought?); and he also brought us complimentary cups of dal that were very tasty. The dishes we got were saag lamb, butter chicken, and organic channa masala, and garlic buttered Naan. Had our first server known how to describe menu better we may have chosen a few different items. He did recommend the butter chicken as one of his favorite so that's why we got it as we often enjoy it other places as well. It was very good, a classic with great sauce, probably the favorite dish. The saag lamb was good too, but we almost got the patak lamb, similar sounding dish but maybe creamier/ other veggie too? But our first server could not really describe difference well. I'm thinking we may have enjoyed the other dish better than saag lamb which was good, but felt the spinach was extremely over cooked, and so finely chopped almost like it was highly minced or powdered? But it was flavorful. The Channa Masala was on the dry side. We we're trying to decide on a saucy vegetable dish and we asked about this dish because we liked that it said organic. That same first server said it was saucy, but not that saucy. Each dish comes with your choice of white or brown rice, or steamed veggies. Two dishes we got brown rice with, and the third we got steamed veggies because we thought there would be more sauce overall to add them too. The rice was allot ( took quite a bit home); the veggies were this nice mix, but so boring with no taste, and what a waste. The veggies even had water floating in bottom of dish. It would be so much nicer if there were an option to have these lightly stirfried with a little flavor as an option ( they were completely bland) , and there was really not enough saucy stuff to add them to so only partially eaten, left remaining there on table instead of taking home with other stuff. We asked for a sample of their side sauces and we got a tiny (like a tablespoon each?) 3 dish sampling of their very tasty homemade mango sauce, tart and tangy cilantro mint sauce, and some sweeter tamarind sauce. But they were very tiny amounts. The Naan was light and crisp, very nice, but could barely taste garlic butter. We asked for our dishes to be medium heat and it was fairly mild for us still, but i guess with American palate, spicy can be relative. But oh well. We also had cups of chai (under $5.00) that had refills, and a glass of house white wine ( Murphy good Sauvignon Blanc was only $8.00 so that was a deal). I'm giving 4 stars for their efforts, but hope they read this so they can improve a few things. read more

I walk past this place often and since i try to eat food that isn't too greasy, this was definitely a place i needed to visit. Dishes are huge. I have a huge appetite but even i had to ask for a to go box. I really enjoyed the brown rice i got with my meal. I got the veggie combo which right now is $15 for the lunch combo special. The crispy cauliflower was delish! It came with a tangy sauce. They had quite an extensive menu and a lot of vegetarian options. I may have to make this a weekly spot so i can get through the menu! read more

This was my first time trying Nepalese cuisine and I loved it!! The soup already impressed me from the start- it was just the right balance of creamy and savory. The chicken momo was amazing as well, especially the skin, which was perfectly al dente. We enjoyed the garlic basil naan and chicken tikka marsala as well. Staff were super friendly. We were seated for a party of 2 with no wait on a Friday night at 7:30 pm. We parked outside for free by the park. read more

This clean, peaceful, friendly restaurant is a treat.we went for lunch and the white tablecloth and cloth napkins were an added touch. The servers are friendly and check back frequently. Many Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options are available. The real star was the food which is beautifully spiced and attractively served. We had a shrimp curry with brown rice, naan and a lovely salad with delicious dressing , the sosa special was a compartmented tray with chicken, paratha, incredible spinach plus other goodies including a small serving of rice pudding. Parking was easy around the park and it was fun to explore some of the little shops nearby. T read more

Restaurant Week 2026 What an incredible value for Restaurant Week -- lunch for four for just $50! I truly hope they had an amazing week and gain tons of returning customers because Himalayan went above and beyond. The four of us had Wednesday noon reservations, and I'm so glad we did as nearly every table was full. We ordered the Restaurant Week pre-fixe menu for 4. We started with lentil soup. Light, flavorful, and with a wonderful texture. Next came the pakora appetizers (so tasty!) served with chutneys. Perfectly crispy without being greasy. Next was an unexpected gorgeous salad topped with fresh strawberries, dried cherries, and a bright mango dressing. The mains included: Chicken Tikka Masala Chana Muter Aloo Gobi (vegetable curry) Rice Plain naan Every bite was delicious. I'm a big fan of chana, so that was my personal "main," and it did not disappoint. The only small note -- there were maybe six pieces of chicken in the tikka masala, which didn't quite feel like enough for four. That said, it worked out fine for our group. We already love this place, and this experience was such a great reminder of why. read more

What a wonderful dinner I just had at Himalayan. Located right off the Town Square in Windsor, this Indian restaurant was warm and cozy on a chilly December night. At 4:30, when they open for dinner, a line had already formed to snag a table. The staff were very pleasant as they got everyone seated. The menu had a plethora of vegetarian and vegan dishes. For dinner, they start you off with a small cup of their lentil dal soup, which was much appreciated and a nice touch. I ordered the Aloo Gobi with brown rice (rice comes with each entree and no up charge for brown rice.) We also got garlic basil naan, which was a large portion for $5.99. Everything was amazing-very flavorful and well presented. It's been a while since I've had really good Indian food and Himalayan absolutely delivered on a wonderful meal. I'd definitely come again. read more

The food was very good. I would give 5 star, but although the soup was tasty, it had been watered down. The lunch naan was like a store bought pita not a tandori naan. My Sagg Palak was delicious and my friends vegetable lunch was also delicious. The salad was yummy. Service good but server could not describe differences on menu well. Price like everywhere is too expensive, but that's how it is now. We have to cut outdoor dining as a result. Still, I would definitely return when in Windsor and hopefully give 5 stars. The quiet music (Hindu chanting) was wonderful. read more

This place is great - tasty food and nice people! They start the meal with a lentil soup. We typically order the lamb shank biryani, so flavorful and such tender lamb! So delicious. We have also tried the pani puri, samosa chaat, tika masala, eggplant dish, saag paneer and garlic naan. Everything has been delicious but I wish their food is a little spicier! I don't handle spicy well but even their 4/5 level spice isn't very spicy. read more

Was in the area on a weeknight later in the evening and Himalayan was one of the only open restaurants. Just about everything was delicious. Ordered Garlic Naan, Gobi Manchurian, Fish Pakora, and Chicken Tikka Masala. The star of the show was the Lamb shank curry. Super tender, not gamey, and the curry itself had a lot of flavor. The staff was also very nice and attentive. If I ever find myself in the area I'll definitely be back! read more

Literally JUST told someone outside the door of this restaurant "this is the crown jewel of Windsor". On my way in to pick up takeout a couple was trying to figure where this delicious scent was coming from. They were heartbroken to find out it's their lunch hour right now but are so motivated they said they're going to come back after (if you want to know how delicious this food is). I've been going here for years. The quality is consistently excellent. The price point is so favorable. The portions are hefty. It is always so clean. The customer service is amazing. I tell people if you're only able to go to one restaurant in Sonoma county, this would be it. They also have vegan and vegetarian options and are very accommodating. Do yourself a favor instead of spending $15 on fast food, spend $15 on a savory lunch combo here. It's not just more delicious. It's healthier for you. It stimulates the local economy instead of some big business somewhere else. read more

FLAVORS and a VEGANS DELIGHT. Need I say more. This restaurant has been on my list to try for a very long time. Today was the day. My only regret, not eating here sooner. Their reviews are out of the world and now I know why. The secret is in the flavors. Everything we ordered was very pleasing. So fresh! So tasty! So happy! If you're vegan or Gluten free, you're in luck. You have choices. In fact, so many choices that the menu can be overwhelming because there are so many options. The hospitality is humbling. The culture is kind and really wish this restaurant was closer to me. Don't miss giving it a try. read more

This was a fun find for our trip to Napa/Sonoma and I'm so glad that we made the decision to have dinner here. Thankfully we made a reservation for our group of 6 and did not have to wait very long to be seated! Staff were all incredibly friendly and made us feel immediately at home and cozy. It was busy, boisterous and beautiful -- fun and traditional. Everyone loved their dishes and I appreciated the atmosphere, we'd definitely go back. The soup to start was SO GOOD and I was happy that I ended up ordering a bowl of it with my dinner while I tried bites of everyone's main dishes. Great flavor, great food, great people. 5/5. read more

Thank you so much read more

Had dinner with group of four including a baby on valentines evening. They had valentines special on the menu but service was extremely slow and our requests and order were not met, including having to request for baby high chair three times. The food came out so slowly that we had to get more than half of our order to go. Enjoyed the lentil soup, and samosa, cheese naan, chicken vindaloo most. Momo, salad with crispy rice and avocado, garlic naan, and cinnamon naan were decent. Chicken tikka masala was okay, mixed kebab was okay- chicken was average, I'm not a huge fan of lamb, and salmon was tender. Overall, good food and good portion for the price. I understand it was a very busy evening, but I hope in the future they prepare ahead of time especially if they offer something like a valentines special on the menu because it felt like we spent two hours in the restaurant with less than half our food that came out during our dine in experience. read more

We enjoyed a delicious lunch here today. The lunch specials are an incredible deal. They include lentil dal soup, a salad, rice and a main dish. I appreciate being asked first what spice level you prefer- I'm a medium spicy and my lunch partner likes mild. The soup was so simple yet amazing. Their naan is quite fresh. I enjoyed the hot chai as well. Very pleasing and colorful decor. Service was kind but a touch on the slower side. Will absolutely return here. read more

SCW and I stopped into Himalayan for lunch. I looked at the reviews on Yelp and figured we needed to give them a try. I'm glad we did. We parked in front of the restaurant on the street which was convenient however I could see this being a difficulty during season. There are a few lots around that seem to help with that. We were warmly greeted and quickly seated. The interior is very relaxing with decor from the Himalayas which makes it very relaxing. We quickly got our menus and found they have an extensive plant based menu. Awesome! We ordered some vegetable samosas to start with which when they came out there were three chutneys to use. All were incredible however the mango chutney was my favorite. The vegetable samosas were incredible. Tons of flavor and baked to perfection. The filling was delicious and the chutneys made each bite unique. I ordered the Tofu Saag Vegan, SCW had the Chana Masala Vegan. We also ordered garlic naan and our meals came with rice. Our mains came out a little after we finished our samosas. Prior to our samosas we were given a lentil soup which was very good. The Tofu Saag (ordered 4 star spice level out of 5) was incredibly fresh, flavorful and cooked to perfection. The herbs and spices were well incorporated and complimentary. With the rice and garlic naan I was very happy with the meal. Incredibly flavorful and delicious. SCW liked her Chana Masala vegan (ordered 2 star out of 5) however she found it a little too spicy for her liking. Not knocking the dish at all just her preference is for a little less heat. The service here was incredible. I found everyone very kind, helpful and attentive. Our water glasses never got low and the pace of service was just right. Not bringing everything out at once but soup, then appetizers, then mains. I didn't feel rushed at all. The dining area is nice and clean. I'm really pleased with our meal at Himalayan and would not hesitate to come back in the future. read more

Such excellent friendly service and phenomenal food. Beautiful interior...very calm and relaxing.

Shakespeare once said, "Comparisons are odious." So I'm guilty as charged on this review. Our Glen Ellen, CA hometown favorite is Yeti. And it is heads and shoulders above the Himalayan. Which is not to say the Himalayan is bad, quite the contrary. They are well meaning and hard working with a nice ambiance and very good food. The hot set-up there are the express lunch specials for around $18. I would suggest you go for lunch, split one special, and then order one more dish of your pleasure. Their brown rice excels. They haven't quite figured out the way to braise lamb and goat until it is tender. I also found the curries a little too thick. The medium spice is just right if you are 'normal' about piquante. It's better than mild. So order as above for lunch and have a nice walk around town and the green. You won't regret it. read more

The food was delicious!!! My go to is the chicken Tika masala. The chicken felt like high quality and the garlic naan was amazing big portions on the naan. You really only need one order for two people. The rest of the portions were good size for one person. The service was quick and friendly checked in to ensure spice level was good which I appreciated ! The ambiance makes for a great date night or family night ! I would hands down visit this place again! Soup was included with the meal which I was surprised on how much I enjoyed it. read more

Himalayan Restaurant is just great. We love real Indian food and the chef serves that. It is just perfect. They only use fresh herbs and spices that are used in traditional Indian food. They even got an award for Best Indian Restaurant of Sonoma County by the Press Democrat. They specialize in kabobs, tandoors and curries. They also have the best soups. Many of their items are vegetarian, vegan or gluten free. I don't care but I know a lot of people do. The place is ever so cute and very clean. You feel at home and that is what they want for you. The service is so very wonderful and they will help you with the menu. We had curry dishes that were out of this world good and two order of garlic nann. I should have taken some with me. The tandoori chicken breast cooked in spices with the best mild creamy sauce was a real favorite. Their organic tofu tikki, which are fried tofu & garbanzo patties crumbed with beaten rice was amazing. I did not expect to like it at all, tofu is just not my favorite thing, but it was so good. We can't wait to get back there. read more

Flavorful evening. We recently had the pleasure of dining at Himalayan Restaurant, located on the charming town green, and were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional cuisine and warm hospitality.

Second time visiting Himalayan and it was just as good as I remember! Hubby and I shared the chicken korma, rack of lamb, and their garlic basil naan. They were also so kind to give us each a complimentary bowl of dal. Their korma is seriously some of the best I've ever had. The sauce is so flavorful!! I love the golden raisins and softened nuts they keep in the sauce - most places blend those into it completely. The lamb was heavenly. It came with 3 bone-in chops that were cooked in their tandoori oven. It was so tender and full of flavor. It was served with vegetables (a bit overcooked) and some kind of kale puree which was interesting. I'll be thinking about that lamb for days!! The service was super nice and attentive. They even brought us warm, damp towels for our hands before the meal began. I thought that was a really nice touch. The restaurant is small but stayed relatively quiet and they have nice decor. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for incredible Indian/Himalayan food. I already can't wait to go back! read more

My friend and I visit this restaurant every few months... And it has never failed to be a five star experience. Sometimes we have to wait in line a bit, but it's well worth it and the service is absolutely excellent! We each started with had a different salad; I had a quinoa salad, and my friend had a tomato salad. Both salad portions were very generous and excellent. Our meals were beautifully prepared, succulent, and perfectly spiced. The ambience here is friendly, comfortable and clean, with lots of Nepalese artwork to look at while you wait. There is one very large bathroom that has an abundance of toilet paper on a rack, so you never feel a sense of TP scarcity lol. Parking can be a bit tricky on Friday night/ weekends. One tip is to park in the lot behind the tiny lot adjacent to the restaurant. You'll have to go around the block to do it, but there is more parking there. I can't say enough about this wonderful restaurant and their excellent staff! On top of that, their prices are still very reasonable. You've got to check it out! read more

It was the first inauthentic Indian food I have ever had. I have been to I down restaurants all over the Bay Area and SoCal, where virtually every customer is Indian. I have never had Chicken Tikka Masala with coconut milk in it. It was so strange. And they served a steamed vegetable medley with broccoli and carrots in it. ‍ On the plus side, the quality of all of the ingredients was excellent and the wait staff was very nice and helpful. read more

I had the noodles and that was soooo good. They had the chicken tiki masala and it was so delicious as well!!! Thank you remover so much we will definitely return!!! read more

Update 3: Still an easy place to stop by for pickup. Grabbed a couple of quick things since we had a working lunch going on. Food comes out quick, and the waitstaff have always been personable and easy to interact with. To try new things, I had gotten the Avocado Bhel and the Pani Puri balls since it had been a while. The avocado bhel was interesting. I liked the freshness of it and the ingredients. The puffed rice added a nice crunch and change in textures with each bite. I liked having the sauces on the side to play around with the flavors since it could use some oomph on that end. The Pani Puri balls were interesting, almost like singular bite samosas by flavor and design. The chutneys also helped on this end and went well with it tho I feel like I'd want to just get samosas instead in this case. read more

I'm a little disappointed about the recommendations I received from our server. We were given a complimentary small soup which was fine. Our server recommended the samosas and as a main entree the chicken tikka masala. I was really hoping that something more adventurous. It seemed the staff who were foreigners played it really conservative. The samosas were good with the three small dipping sauces that accompanied it. The chicken tikka masala sauce had good flavor but the chicken was overcooked in my opinion. Also there wasn't anything else in the sauce besides chicken. I realize different cultures make this differently but it just seemed a little boring. The staff was attentive and the place was clean. There was this annoying sound in the background that reminded me of some movie that had some noise generated by some time travel machine. The naan was alright. 3 1/2 stars Listing additional pics. read more

If you come to Windsor and don't go to this restaurant, you are definitely missing out! I've been here several times while visiting Windsor for wine tasting, and it's become a staple now! Food: Absolutely amazing, 10/10. The lentil soup is to die for, the curries are phenomenal, the naan is great! Service: All of the staff is very kind and helpful, and were very sweet to my little toddler the last time we were there. Ambiance: The ambiance is very peaceful and relaxed. It's not a luxury ambiance per se, but the gentle hum in the background is enough to softly whisk you away out of downtown Windsor and away to Nepal.
