This place is a true hidden gem. If you aren't careful you could miss it! But if you do stop in you will not be disappointed. The Himali Kitchen features some of the most flavorful and authentic Nepali, Himalayan, and Indian Cuisine in the Pittsburgh area. The restaurant itself was very clean and wonderfully decorated. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent! I had the chicken momos which were delightful! The dipping sauce was fragrant and fresh with a nice touch of spice. The momos and sauce made for a great appetizer! The mango lassi was well balanced and flavorful. Lastly I got the butter chicken which was delicious. The butter chicken was sweeter and more rich than others I have had which was a pleasant surprise! The chicken was tender and juicy and the rice was perfectly cooked. Together the sweet sauce and savory chicken was a great take on one of my absolute favorite dishes. All in all I would recommend anyone to try this place and I for one will be returning! read more

I had great expectations, based on my experience with Subba on the North Side. But Himali Kitchen fell short in many ways. Their Mo Mo was pretty good. They were out of Sukuti, so I tried the Chicken Sekuwa and I found it to be very dry. The Mango Lassi was excellent. The dining room was nice and I loved the regional music. The wait staff was really nice and helpful. read more

Good food [rice portion very generous), nice staff, smelled like urine when we walked in. A colleague at work says sheguys there all the time, so l give them another try. Free parking in the lot out front. read more

Very high quality, delicious, and authentic Nepali restaurant. They also have a few Indian options as well, like the classic curries and such. The prices are all extremely fair and quite cheap, and portions are adequate. I got to try their kothey momo dumplings and a mango lassi. The kothey momo dumplings were extremely tasty. They are filled with lots of vegetables and some sort of meat, which I think is pork. Very tasty, and they do not go sparingly on the spice. Filling too. The kothey momo come with a choice of sweet or spicy sauce on the side. I ordered the sweet sauce. However, the sweet sauce wasn't very sweet -- it was actually quite spicy. Maybe they gave me wrong sauce, or maybe even the sweet sauce is extremely spicy. The mango lassi was pretty good, but not anything too too special. Creamy, sweet, and it hits the spot. For $5, not a bad portion, but nothing too great either. All in all, quite enjoyed this spot. Nice, flavorful, and spicy Nepali food. The setting itself is relaxed and it's easy to miss. But, stopping by is worth it. read more

Blink & you'll miss it restaurant inside of a strip, but definitely worth a stop. We were craving foreign flavors & decided on this little south Asian gem. I really liked the decor. 'Suicide, & ambiance. They definitely take you to their homelands with the culture. The food was really amazing. I really enjoyed everything I had especially the pakora. Reheating my food the next day was a delightful treat. read more

I tried this place for the first time today and WOW, it was simply amazing! This was also my first time trying Nepalese food. The Prices for the quality of the food were worth it, not crazy expensive, plus you get so much per order. Thank you so much for preparing such delicious food. Looking forward to my next order. read more

It's a small place that definitely prepared food fresh. The business looks like a hole in the wall, and the service is pretty much on par. The food though was delicious and flavorful, although it was a bit too spicy for me. I got the samosa chaat and the thukpa with mutton. Would consider trying again! read more

Delicious, authentic dishes and friendly service! Very generous serving portions and reasonable pricing. Will definitely be back!

Ordered takeout from here the other night and was very happy with my meal. The workers inside were so friendly and helpful. The place was also nice and clean. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, spicy chicken dumplings, and garlic naan. The tikka masala was good, not the best I've had, good. I really liked the sauce, but the chicken quality could have been better. Luckily the sauce made up for it. The garlic naan was toasted perfectly and had a great garlic and onion taste. The best part of the meal were the spicy chicken dumplings. They were cooked perfectly and the spicy sauce had an amazing flavor. It was thick and just spicy enough. Different than any other dumpling I've had before. Looking forward to coming back to try some other options and order the dumplings again! read more

Himali Kitchen - Chicken tikka masala, spicy chicken dumplings, and garlic naan - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We ordered take out and we'll definitely be back. The chili momo are so good, we definitely recommend them!!

The food used to be great! The last two times I've went in the last month. (Both on a Monday and Wednesday) The butter chicken tasted nothing like butter chicken. They either got the order wrong BOTH times or they are making the butter chicken completely different to the point it tastes nothing like butter chicken. I even showed them my order the second time. Not sure if there's a new owner or what but I will never go back to this place. Their foods not good now. read more

Incredible food. Took my friends here for their first Indian food experience and we had I'll all be back. The dumplings were some of the best I have ever had. The food was so good I couldn't wait to take pictures , I had to dive in. 10/0 highly recommended. read more

Excellent food with excellent service!! "Nepali Non-Veg Thali and Veggie Pakora" was awesome. You'll never be disappointed, coz they serve you with Unmatched quality food. read more

I loved the pani puri, I've had ones that were too salty, these are perfectly balanced. Portion sizes are huge! The chowmein is packed, the Biryani is filled to the brim, the chau-chau noodles are really tasty. Delivery was really fast for me so the food was still hot. My phone sucks so the pictures don't do the food justice. read more

I tried this place last week. I can tell you, it was simply amazing. I haven't stopped thinking of going back since then. This was my first time trying Nepalese food. I am custom to Indian and Thai food so this was an amazing experience. For those ordering takeout - its great - however I HIGHLY recommend going in. I swear there are only over 2-3 people working there, but some how the make the best food. This easily beat my favorite Thai and Indian place. The Prices for the quality of the food is amazing. I ordered so much food (being my first time) and walking in I didn't know how I would feel about it. The Experience: They brought the food out right as it was finished cooking. Which I greatly appreciate most of it I couldn't even eat, it was so hot. Their timing was very good and brought out Entrees' within a minute or two of each other. My brother and I were speechless most of the time. We couldn't believe all the flavors and how fresh everything was. You can tell the food is made to order, not frozen. My brother and I had three courses, we were there about an hour and half. However, we never once even thought about the time because we couldn't wait to try our next dish. The Food: Chicken MO MO - The second my dumplings were set on the table I knew I had to have more. This was the best dumpling I have ever had. The Chili MO MO is also great if you like spice. 10 is hot people - just looking out - I would take it at a 7 next time. The flavor and heat are awesome. A must try. The Goat Soup: The broth is clearly made in-house. I have never enjoyed goat like this, it was tender, the broth was awesome, not too salty, it was savory - excellent. I am not a lover of soups. I am now a lover of this soup. Its not a cup - its a bowl. For the price, its unbelievable. Chicken Lolipop : Wow. I have never had anything like this. Lets start by saying the Chicken legs were cooked perfectly and the Curry Sauce was excellent. Did it mention it was delivered hot, I knew it was made just before I ordered it. Korma: Wow wow wow - I have had many Korma before, but not like this, it was so savory and there were so many flavors working together. Its not from a can - clearly made from scratch. The rice was perfectly cooked and hot. I rarely feel compelled to write reviews. However, more people need to know this place exists. Go there and eat! I don't think you will be sorry. Order something you have never had and explore the flavors this restaurant has to offer. Next time I will take photos and add to this review. Did I mention the prices were awesome - I was so happy when I left I gave a 50 percent tip. Just excellent. Excellent indeed. read more

The food was really good. It was super spicy but that's my fault since I didn't mention to tone it down a bit when I ordered. The momo dumplings were my favorite. I definitely plan on returning so I can try some of the other items in the menu! read more

This place deserves 5 stars for its strengths, despite a couple of drawbacks. The atmosphere isn't fancy and communication can be an issue. However, the staff members work their butts off to serve fabulous food. read more

This place may not look like much from the outside, but do not deter you from stepping inside. I stopped in for lunch today and had the Veggie Momo (dumplings) and vegetarian biryani. It was simply the best I have had! The flavors were fresh, spice level was spot on and the menu was diverse. I cannot wait to come back and try more items. I cannot recommend this place strongly enough. read more

Great from time to time. Spicy food but cheaper than I thought it would be. Nice staff, but their bathroom needs to be cleaned more often.

Really bad food quality and preparation. Matar paneer was floating in oil and paneer looked like stale hard tofu.

Best momos in Pittsburgh. I've been getting take out from here at least once a week during this pandemic and each time, the food just got more delicious. I highly recommend this place! read more

Although the place only had 4 reviews on Yelp, there were a couple of compelling reviews that made us choose this place. The idea of eating a biryani in the middle of nowhere was enthralling, to say the least. My friend and I ordered a plate of momos and biryanis. This is easily the best biryani in Pittsburgh. We were glad we went all the way out there for it, it was totally worth it! read more

Had dinner there for a friend's birthday. Food is delicious and owner is very gracious. Definitely give it a try. Affordable and fresh delicious food. Will be back for sure. read more

The best Nepali resturant and go to resturant in the town the momos and shrimp biryani are the best.

Delicious food and accommodative staff. It was a pleasant experience and I'm sure to visit this place again.
