Our server was so pleasant and efficient -- he appeared to be the only person working the dining room -- I hate to write anything less than positive. But I really didn't enjoy my meal. My daughter, who's eaten at various restaurants on the strip, was also underwhelmed. We started off with steamed chicken momo (dumplings.) Served with two spicy dipping sauces, we were off to a good start. But then ... -- Chicken tikka, my frequent choice, was over-cooked, under-spiced and dry. When prepared properly the chicken is succulent and flavorful. I appreciated the vegetables from my platter which I mixed with rice, but other than that, a big NO. -- S ordered chicken thali: lentils, rice, mustard spinach, potatoes, salad, achar (a condiment of fermented fruits and vegetables), papadum and kheer (rice pudding.) We both have had better. Unlike family-run Indian restaurants I frequented on E. 6th Street -- none of which remain -- midtown restaurants are a bit more formal often requiring reservations. With no availability at a neighboring restaurant, Taste from Everest could accommodate us when we popped in. By the time we left, every table was occupied with people whose opinions, based on Yelp reviews, likely differ from mine.

Sometimes you have to trust the Yelp and Google reviews, and I am so glad I did for Cafe Himalaya!…read more Hot momos during the heat-wave might sound counter intuitive, but it was perfect! I was bopping around east village looking for a late lunch, and just wanted something a little spicy. I ordered a plate of the beef sha momos - steamed, and they were perfect! The spicy sauce was the perfect fresh kick to pair with the flavorful filling. Given it was a quiet afternoon, I was surprised by how long it took to get my food. But they did seem very busy in the kitchen. The space has a few tables for dining in, and a bathroom in the basement for customers. But set your expectations accordingly, it's a no-frill spot. Go for the food, not the ambiance.

There was a lot of take out and delivery orders but, that kitchen kept up with everything. Friend ordered a lime iced tea which they made and sweeten perfectly. We started with the chicken samosa and steamed lamb momos. The samosas are huge, tasty, and filled to the capacity of shell. The lamb momos were delicious alone but use the spicy dip it comes with and the dish is a flavor bomb. Entrees were Tandoori chicken which comes with a huge bowl of rice. The chicken was fine by itself but put the yogurt sauce on it and it is like a totally different dish. So tasty and delicious. Lamb biryani...Plenty of lamb throughout this dish the spices and flavors blended well and were spot on with just that hint of heat to break a sweat. Garlic Naan... when you first bite into it you get a hint of garlic then you get a nice pop of garlic. They start you with a courtesy flat thin bread with 2 dips...very nice. Staff is very friendly courteous and attentive. We never felt rushed or in the way. Very cool spot to chat chew and catch up.

Wasn't bad - wasn't the best. Safe bet. Like the Pre-fixe concept. Wife got the kabobs and those were really good, we also got chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and butter paneer. Paneer was really good Value (B+) - was around $40 a person - felt a bit pricey for Indian in NYC Service (B) - need better training - screwed up our order and then took a while to get it out. Also tried to put down dinner plates prior to taking dirty appetizer plates. Friendly and nice - just need training on obvious things Give it a try could be for you. If your live in Gramercy you might enjoy Nothing special - safe bet Indian.

Host quoted a…read more40-minute wait at the bar and zero tables left, until he gave us the ultimate test: if we could clear out by 9:30 PM (sitting down just shy of 8:00), the table was ours. Challenge accepted. Never underestimate our ability to dine with executive efficiency. Practical intel: Friday walk-ins are possible but not guaranteed. Ask the host what's open and be ready to work with their timeline. Dinner for two with drinks ran about $180 before tip. The breakdown: - Pre-game: Sliced raw red onions with electric green mint-coriander chutney. Did we polish off every single sliver without hesitation? Absolutely, not our first rodeo with raw aromatics. - Drinks: Monsoon Wedding (Indian gin, lychee, curry leaf) was insanely good and fragrant. Followed with an Indian red wine, which was solid, though it competed a bit with the assertive spices. - Food: My partner was commander-in-chief of the ordering. The Kashmiri Gosht Chaamp (lamb chops) brought relentless, unapologetic heat, legitimately spiiicy but tender and packed with depth. The Dhaba Dal was a warm hug I didn't know I needed, swimming in sizzling tadka. Whole dried red chili in there, which I investigated personally. Earthy, savory, weirdly comforting. The Tawa Bhindi rounded things out with great crunch and tangy amchoor punch without feeling heavy. Paced the meal, savored every bite, and walked out a minute or two past 9:30. Nobody rushed us. Grateful they trusted us with the table at all. 10/10 execution, on both sides.

The Mutton Dhungar (smoked) and Chicken Hari Mirch Kurma were outstanding gravies--perfect with hot chappatis. But the piece de résistance was the Goat Neck Biryani--deeply flavorful, with meat literally falling off the bone and proper, fragrant basmati rice. Absolutely fantastic. The place is nice and lively--busy and a little tight on space, but the service is fast and friendly. Reservations are a must. An absolute must-try when visiting NYC.

This place as classy as heck. Beautiful atmosphere. Friendly wait staff who are eager to see you have a good time, and a good meal. Spices were balanced, and the ingredients were fresh and vibrant. Herbs were bright beautiful green and fragrant. Bread was chewy and soft. If you see it, try the bottle of Montepulciano. It's a hidden gem. Garnet colour with fresh fruitiness, and subtle tannins. Also. None of the dishes were greasy. If you've ever had Indian food at a bad place, there's always a pool of oil floating on top. None of that happened here. You could taste every ingredient. Your water glass is empty? No worries. One of the wait staff was right there to fill my glass when it was less than half full. Wine glass running low? No worries. One of the wait staff swing by and refill you. Need the cheque? Make eye contact with anyone, and request it. It zooms over to your table. Music is soft and lets you hear your dining companion but not the next door table. Vegan dishes are clearly marked. The only issue I have is that the entrees don't come with rice or roti. You have to buy those separately. Idk what you're meant to eat your daal with, but be prepared to spend extra on rice. Other issue is that the heat level is very low. My companion got a meat dish, and I got a vegan dish. Both were extremely mild. Also, they don't bring onion and green chili to go with the food. It was weird to order like a Punjabi chhole dish, and have it be mild and have none of the onion/green chili that you see at Punjabi restaurants. That said, would 100% come back.

We also tried the butter tea, which was not what I expected either. The restaurant was pretty empty when we walked in, which probably should have been our first warning sign.

There were a couple of good things, but the food quality definitely needs improvement. 3 stars.

We decided to stick with the chicken sekuwa, the salmon curry and a side of roti. The chicken sekuwa was a great surprise, it came with like a puffed rice that was superglue to eat texturally and went great with the marinated chicken. The fries were not expected but very enjoyable as I love fries. The salmon curry was something very different so I definitely wanted to try that. The curry in itself was on the looser end, more like a soup however, the flavor was really good and the salmon was nice and tender. The roti was a lot more like a tortilla than what I was expecting but it was still enjoyable. Overall the food was definitely new to my palate and super light which I enjoyed and the service was great. The food did take a while to come out but the server did check up on us to let us know as well and helped us with getting sauces that we asked for. I can't wait to try out their momos next time I stop by!

It was a little spicy for my 10 year old, but my other daughter and I finished it with ease. Glad we tried it - food was good and service was quick.
