Chicken Tikka Masala
Amanda L.

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.

Aloo Gobi Vegan
Jennifer N.

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.

Lamb Vindaloo

Great service and food. Lamb vindaloo had just the right amount of spice. My friend had a seafood dish that they couldn't stop raving about! There were definitely no leftovers to take home because we finished everything!

Garlic Naan, Lamb Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala.

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!

Chicken Himalayan noodles

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.

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.

Lentil Soup Dal
Juanna F.

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.

Chicken Coconut Curry, Garlic Cilantro Naan
Gabriela T.

The food was good. I have a gluten and dairy allergy. I ordered the mushroom pakora appetizer. Their lentil soup is amazing! I like when they bring the hand towel to wash your hands prior to eating. The server was great! I always enjoy eating there. I especially like their booths.

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.

Interior
Joe K.

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.

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.

Rack of lamb
Monica F.

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!

Do they have "junk fees" on their bill?

No Mark, your total bill is what you purchased for , a solid bill and no junk never added like credit card fees and much more but not here. Thank you for your interest.

Yes we have air conditioning and heater inside?

I cannot answer this questions since we ate outside in one of most beautiful evenings.

Is this place have airconditioner indoor?

We ate outside on a gracious day so I do not know if the restaurant is air conditioned inside. I assume they are but call.

Came for dinner on a Wednesday night and it was almost a full house! As we ate, more people came…read moreand all tables were filled except one. What a popular place. I can see why because their food is delicious. Fiancé and I got their momo platter (4 each of the veggie, pork and chicken momo), chicken kabob, and chicken thukpa (noodle soup). We have never had thukpa before and it was pretty good and warming. Perfect on a chilly night. Momos were juicy, and beautifully wrapped. The chicken kabob came out sizzling and was quite juicy. Their portion size is great. We even had some leftovers for next day. Service was fast and friendly. Was impressed there were just two people waiting tables/taking orders for a full house. Food came out quick and there were even a couple takeout orders while we were there so they definitely managed the flow quite well. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

That might not be a great thing though because the food just didn't have enough flavor for me. To be fair, maybe it's a difference between Indian and Himalayan food, I'm not really sure. I think it might work for people who would enjoy Indian cuisine if the flavors were more subtle. Service was friendly and everything was prepped well, it just wasn't for me. I wish I would have noticed the dumplings on the menu before ordering or that the staff would have pointed them out, because I would have liked to try them and I'm not sure if or when I'll be back.

The food is delicious! I love spicy food, and this is one of the only restaurants in the Napa Valley Area that knows how to make spicy food. The last I was here, I got the chicken and vegetables monos and salmon tikka masala. The Tikka masala is my favorite! For drinks, I usually get the mango lasso and a beer (Flying Horse), which are both really good and a great compliment to the meal. Overall, if you like Himalayan/Indian food or want to try something different, this is the place to go to in Sonoma!

The paneer tikka masala came in hot--creamy, bold, and acting like it owned the place (and honestly, it does). The aloos were perfectly spiced comfort, and the garlic-cilantro naan? Soft, warm, and downright flirtatious. I considered proposing. And then the Man Chai with chocolate... WOW. A cozy, spicy, chocolatey hug that healed things I didn't know needed healing. Delicious food, great vibes, fast service--five stars without hesitation. Go hungry and prepared for your taste buds to fall in love.
