I ordered the cucumber salad and the chicken tikka masala spicy level hot. Everything was so tasty. The salad was fresh and generous. It cave with lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers. The chicken tikka was perfection! I like my chicken tikka savory. Lots of places serve it sweet, but not here. It was savory, spicy and cream! Instead of rice and bread I had the pappadum. they were crisp and tasty. Be aware the is NO outdoor seating. i'll definitely be back soon!!!?

Went here last night on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. This place is…read moredefintley known for its takeout, that was obvious by the amount of Uber Eats employees coming in and out of the restaurant. This made sense because the food is delicious, the house special tikka masala is definitely the stand out. The pricing was great for the portion sizes! The service was decent, wish they came and filled up my water because the glass was kinda small & I finished it fast. The inside seating could be better and the ambiance could be better but overall solid spot.

Honestly, I don't know what changed, but whoever was the opening kitchen shift today (August 13th), you need to know that it was the BEST meal we've received from Y&Y. So much so that I actually had to come to Yelp and leave a review, it was that good. Usually our dishes would come with so much oil that we would have to drain off the excess; not today. Today's dishes were not only cooked beautifully with spices in it that I had never even tasted in the dish before, but there was no layer of oil that our food would have been swimming in. It was wonderful I usually get the vegan chana masala and sometimes in the past it would taste like there may have been some sort of butter in it (or perhaps ghee) and maybe whoever was cooking it didn't know not to use it, but this time around it didn't give me that taste and actually tasted dairy-free, which put my mind at ease. All-in-all, we will be coming back and hoping we get this cook again because it was just so so good

My husband got the chicken tikka masala, with garlic naan and a mango lassi. The mutter paneer tasted under seasoned with no distinct flavor, the paneer felt like didn't absorb any seasonings at all. So not bad but not something I would reorder. The samosas were good. I tasted the curry sauce from the chicken tikka masala and that had much better flavor. Both were heavy (butter/heavy cream based). The mango lassi was surprisingly the most balanced I ever had. They are usually over sweet but this one was just right. If I return I would order something different.

Lamb biryani is perfumed with herbs and spices, lamb is so so tender. We also got coconut shrimp (unpictured) this time and they were yummy!

I had a very disappointing and upsetting experience at this store. While checking out, the employee…read moreasked if I needed a plastic bag. I simply asked whether the bag was free of charge. Instead of answering politely, he sarcastically asked, "Is there any place that gives bags for free?" I responded that he could have simply said the bag wasn't free. At that point, the situation escalated unnecessarily. The employee became aggressive, used abusive language, including "fuck you" and "fucker," and even pushed me. No customer should ever be treated this way for asking a simple question about the cost of a bag. I understand that misunderstandings can happen, but there is absolutely no excuse for verbal abuse or physical aggression toward a customer. I hope the management takes this incident seriously and provides better customer service training to ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else.

I am glad I found a decent Indian buffet to go to. I have been a few times…read more Very good and large selection of items on the buffet. My favorite item they have is vegetable korma, so delicious especially the sauce. Only complaint they often only have chicken tika masala (which is pretty good) for the chicken dish, I wish they would change it up to another chicken dish. They always have tandoori chicken too. The one lamb or goat meat dish. Many other things to try. Very reasonable cost.

1-Star Review My…read morewife and I have been regular customers at Himalayan House on Friars Road for quite some time. We come here once or twice a week for lunch, sometimes just the two of us and often with two friends. Unfortunately, after what happened today, we will not be returning. Today, my wife and I came in by ourselves because we had not been able to get a response from our two friends about whether they wanted to join us. We were seated at a smaller table, which was completely reasonable for two people. About 10 minutes later, our friends texted us that they were on their way. When they arrived, we politely asked if we could move to a larger table. The restaurant was approximately 60% empty, and there were plenty of larger tables available. Instead of simply accommodating the request, the gentleman working there made a big issue out of it and insisted on adding two chairs to our small table. I explained that four people would be crowded and that we would simply prefer to sit comfortably at one of the many available larger tables. At that point, I asked why this was becoming such a big deal. His response was, "Yes, it is a big deal." He then told me that we should have told him from the beginning that we were going to be four people. I explained that we genuinely did not know our friends were coming when we arrived. I also asked him not to be disrespectful and simply allow us to move to a larger table. He then explained that the problem was that he would have to clean two tables instead of one. That was the moment we decided that this was no longer worth it. My wife and I paid for our meals, our friends left with us, and the four of us walked out. I understand that restaurants have procedures and that tables need to be cleaned. But when you have regular customers, a restaurant that is more than half empty, and four people simply asking to move to a larger table so they can sit comfortably, turning it into an argument is completely unnecessary. Hospitality is about making customers feel welcome and accommodating reasonable requests. If someone is unwilling to be hospitable, patient, and respectful toward customers, then they should not be working in the hospitality business. It is especially disappointing because we were frequent customers and genuinely enjoyed coming here. One unnecessary confrontation over something this minor has now cost the restaurant four regular customers.

This trip we ordered the deconstructed samosa and it's going to be one of my "must haves" on any future trips. I ordered some extra naan to finish the creamy sauce, it was SO good.

When I've ordered it in the past, it's had a pleasant garlic flavor to it. This time, I barely tasted any garlic. Hopefully it was just a one-time thing, and it's better next time.
