The waiter checked up on us, but not too much and made nice conversation and even complimented our piercings! The ambiance was delightful with a bunch of beautiful decorations and nice lighting It was calm and not busy, I did not feel rushed or uncompfortable in any way, very laid back dining. The food was great, their mango lassi is very tasty, i recommend trying their veggie soup, it's something I wouldn't usually order but it was so good!

We had their Naan bread, freshly made! We all enjoyed our meals and will return again!! They were very accommodating to my sister's food allergies as well! I also had the hot mint/milk tea, yum, kinda like Chai tea. Give it shot They have a shared parking lot or street parking. They also did a nice little renovation from the little coffee shop that had been there for years.

More cheaper though! The sauce was more thin rather than a little bit more thick as usual, but In my opinion it soaks a lot better into the naan & rice; the different texture doesn't jeopardize the taste at all if I want to be honest, as the flavor tastes the exact same. Great stuff guys! I'm a happy customer. :)

I live i Los Angeles, but I travel to Carlsbad for work. Whenever I do, I grab lunch at Hyderabad Cafe for dine-in, and then order some food to take back with me to LA.

After seeing this place numerous times we finally decided to check it out…read more It's located in a small strip mall, so parking wasn't difficult on a Tuesday evening close to 6:00pm. Walking in, it wasn't busy. There was only 1 person waiting for a to-go order. There was a good amount of seating. It wasn't the cleanest though, the floors needed some serious sweeping. We seated ourselves and the young man at the front counter took our order. He was very quiet but helpful. We ordered the Tikka Masala with chicken, Butter Masala w/ chicken, Vindaloo with Shrimp and Garlic Naan. The food was piping hot-temperature wise and arrived in take-out containers. So we needed to wait a few minutes for it to cool a little so we could eat it. Their ice maker wasn't working and the water was warm, so there was no cooling to be found there. When we finally tried the food, we were impressed. The spice-levels of each dish were as expected and the food was delicious! Unfortunately, in the Vindaloo, chicken was put in instead of the shrimp which we had ordered. But it was still good. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Garlic Naan as well. Overall, we were glad to have tried this place. The prices are comparable to other establishments of the same cuisine. However, the food is above average. We'll be back!

Beautiful area with lots of kids playing by the fountain. Sitting is inside or outside the restaurant. Lady who greeted us were very nice. All tables were taken outside so we sat inside the restaurant looking out to the fountain area. Place was decorated nicely with pillows on some of the sittings. Really cute place and cozy. Three of us were hungry and the aroma coming from the kitchen made us twice as hungry. We ordered 2 vegetable dishes, Palak Paneer and Aloo Matar. The Palak Paneer which is spinach with cheese was delightful. It is our favorite vegetable dish and tied our entrees together. It's comforting and savory. The Aloo Matar fresh peas and potatoes were as delicious but hard to compare with the Paneer. I did like the peas a lot. For our entrees we had the Chicken Kadai, Lamb Tarkari and Chicken Tandoori. All came with basmati rice. The chicken kadai had a nice spicy kick. The lamb was tender and lots of cinnamon notes. The tandoori was crispy, tender and juicy. The Garlic cilantro naan was tasty, soft and buttery and great with soaking in all the curry sauce. All the flavors hit the right spot and were all delicious! We had a tiny leftover left of the rice, naan and Aloo Matar. Otherwise we devoured our entire meal. It was that yummy!!! We love this place. Everything about our experience felt like your grandmother or aunties made these food just for you. It was that authentic and cozy! If you're by Carlsbad and want to experience the taste of Nepal, Indian and Tibetan cuisine, this place is for you. They will treat you like family. This will be our go to place when we visit Carlsbad again. Will be back!!!

My husband gets something different every time lol. Their lunch special is excellent but I've gotten my two favorites dishes outside lunch hours and enjoyed it so much. Even great as left overs!!! My kids love the nan. So fresh. They keep their restaurant clean and welcoming. They are not expensive, it's just that we can't dine out all the time because gas and rent etc is all so expensive or this restaurant would see me multiple times a week lol.

Only thing i felt was it was too much noodle and too less rice. Shifting that ratio a bit would make it perfect. Chicken manchow soup - This took me straight to my favorite chinese place in Bombay.

We had masala papad, pav vada, chole bhature, and indi chini sizzler. Papa was good. Vada pav was good as well. Indi chini sizzler was NOT good Manchurian balls were dry as bone, no veggies in there, just couple of stands of carrots mixed with flour. It was dry and chewy and stretchy. NOT flavorful at all. They topped whole sizzler platter with manchurian sauce. Wanted to taste fried rice and noodles taste seprately. Wont recommend that. Bhature were bit oily, chole were flavorful. Everything was pining hot, just the way we like it. Will git it try again, for other menu items.

We would definitely recommend this spot and will absolutely be coming back!

So the company decided to fall back on the holiday we celebrated last November which was Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. The dates of the festival vary each year, and this year it was back on October 20th. But we celebrated in November by getting lunch catered from Himalayan Bistro in Oceanside. We ordered the following: Vegetable Samosas :vegan: Plain Naan and Garlic Cilantro Naan (not vegan or dairy friendly, unfortunately) Chana Masala :vegan: Vegetable Chow Mein :vegan: Saag PaneerChicken (dairy) Tikka Masala (dairy) Lamb Tandoori (dairy free) I really enjoyed the GIANT samosas, Chana masala, vegetable chow mein(I had no idea that chow main could be Himalayan), and the Lamb Tandoori. I'm not the biggest fan of Indian food, but I LOvED this meal. I had seconds!!! I want to come back here with my vegan friends because I bet they will enjoy it too. Thank you Himalayan Bistro for opening my food horizons.

I decided to get a mango lassi, naan, and chicken makhani, and the woman working the counter asked if I was ordering just for myself. When I said yes, she recommended the combo which includes rice and naan. I love a combo, and this one sounded like a really good deal. It also came with the option to get double chicken makhani or to add another entrée selection. I chose the malai kofta. I appreciated her suggestion, and considering how late I was there, I left a nice tip. When the order was ready about 10 minutes later, she told me that she had thrown in a couple of extras. Instead of making me feel like a burden for coming in late, they treated me with kindness and generosity. I say all of this not so everyone who goes here expects freebies toward the end of the night, but so that you know the service is top-notch and the food is a great value even without the bonus add-ons. If I find myself over here again while I'm still in San Diego, I will absolutely pick up takeout from Punjabi Tandoor.

Walked in there and immediately I realized that had no idea that anyone was coming to pick up food.. I showed them the confirmation on their own website with purchase number, showed them their text. Confirmation showed them my credit card receipt. They looked at their computer and didn't have the order in their system, so obviously it was my fault. The old gentleman they suggested that I didn't have enough room on my credit card and the charge was denied. He literally said I was too poor to eat there. F$-@ this restaurant! Their food may be good, I don't know. All I will say is I will never go to this place again and if you do, do not try and buy off of their website. They will rip you off. I'm disputing the charge now
