Plenty of seating to enjoy your meal. There's a fridge on the way to the cashier with plenty of dessert, ice cream, and beverage choices to choose from. The fullness & deliciousness from the food distracted me and had me forget, but will definitely try the Mango Lassi & Rice Pudding on my next trip! The pudding's made with basmati rice so that's what caught my attention. Was greeted by a nice gentleman who provided me with great recommendations. He even checked in on all his customers while we were eating. 10/10 customer service our whole time there. He was kind enough to give us a drink & rice on the house to go along with one of our entrees! We got: Chicken Korma and Lamb Briyani The chicken was in a yellow, creamy sauce - curry. The aromatics & spices put into these dishes were so comforting. Both the chicken & lamb were so savory, tender and each bite was very flavorful. The rice was very fluffy and delicious. Garlic Naan Served fresh and warm. Not oily, but wasn't dry! Every bite was soft. The garlic was subtle, but perfectly present in every bite. Samosas These were HEAVEN SENT. Idk what kind of seasoning or filling they used - I believe there were potatoes, lentils, veggies? I didn't know what to expect for the filling, but it was sooo good. One order came in 3 pieces & they were HUGE. These are a MUST if you go here! They came with 2 sauces which both paired very well w the samosas. If I'm ever craving this kind of food, this is the restaurant I will choose to go to. Best spot in town! Customer service, experience, & food all surpassed my expectations. Definitely will come back & try more things off their menu! + they have discounts if you attend CSUN!

Since it was a group visit, we ended up tasting almost everything on the menu--and every single item impressed us. We started with pani puri, which was fresh, tangy, and full of that classic street-food punch. The chili chicken was crispy and spicy with great flavor, while the hakka noodles were well seasoned and comforting. The jhol momos were rich and flavorful, and the steamed momos were juicy, soft, and perfectly cooked--simple and delicious. One of the biggest highlights was their new addition: Maggi. It was hands down the best--pure nostalgia in a bowl and exactly the kind of comfort food you crave. And for me, the clear winner was the loaded fries--crispy, generously topped, and absolutely addictive. I loved them and would happily go back just for those. Even though it's a food truck, it gives you the perfect feel of enjoying authentic snacks and momos, just like true street food should. The food was fresh, portions were generous, and service was quick and friendly. If you're craving authentic Himalayan flavors, comforting momos, and nostalgic snacks, Himalaya Momos is a must-try. Perfect for a quick lunch, office outing, or anytime street-food craving.

As I have said before, they have the best Tandoori Chicken (bone in), anywhere. I came here to dine in for lunch. Why? I had this longing for Pakistani Biriyani (in my humble opinion, nobody makes it better). I debated, then still selected the Pakistani Chicken (bone in) Biriyani. There is a boneless option, but why. Has anybody forgotten about the elements of taste and flavor? My Biriyani dish arrives as a generous portion, the right temperature, full of mesmerizing aromas, perfectly balanced flavor, spices and color and well distributed in terms of chicken and rice. As a comment, chicken was a tough. The ideal way to eat this, IMHO, is with yoghurt or raita. Unfortunately, they were out of that, so they supplied the carry out mint yogurt sauce cups. Not the best, but an okay substitute. Service was good, but very scanty, and annoying. Staff need to pay more attention to the customers, full time. This must be their primary focus. Instead of talking loudly with colleagues, about their customers and other issues. Have they forgotten that, there are customers in the restaurant that need immediate attention, and service.

The food was great - got an order of the vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala, aloo gobi, lamb rogan josh, mixed naan, and basmati rice, as well as mango lassi... YUM! Everything was absolutely delicious. My only gripe was that our server never asked us the spice level for our order and ended up with no spice in any of our dishes, so was a bit disappointed. I was ready for my face to be burned off! (Jk jk) Despite that, the food was wonderful - I definitely would be back if I'm in the area.

As such, one cuisine (and there are more) that fits the bill is that from India. There are a plethora of restaurants in both the SFV and the Lost Angeles area, mainly centered around Northern cuisine. But tell me, do you know of one that is consistent in its delivery of memorable, hallmark dishes? Yes, there is a place in Canoga Park, called New India Palace. They serve a lunch buffet (11 am to 3 pm) daily, 7 days a week, that is unmatched, anywhere in these environs. It now runs at $14.99 plus tax, very reasonable, I might add, with a delicious selection of mouthwatering dishes. Recently, I found dahi vada (deep fried lentil donuts soaked in yoghurt and topped with chutneys and spices) as one of the selections (never seen that in any Indian buffet). It is one of my favorite Indian appetizers. And that too, it was superbly prepared. Their goat curry with aromatic brown gravy, goes well with the included freshly prepared naan (I chose the garlic version). There is chicken biriyani, pappar (fire roasted lentil and pepper wafers), yellow lentils (their version is fantastic), Saag (spinach) and aloo gobi (cauliflower and potatoes), to name a few. Chili chicken was okay, but the tandoori chicken came out dry, for both my pieces. Either way, this is not a knock down of this place. Overall, their Indian buffet food is the best in the Valley. And what about the service? Nothing short of exceptional.

New India Palace Indian has a panoply of appetizers, savories, chutneys, desserts where you go up and serve yourself. Where else can one get so much variety?

This used to be a mom and pop eatery and therefore, deserves more of my patronage. When getting there, I discovered that this grocery store and eatery (Punjabi style), has new management. What is different with the new owners is that they also serve non-vegetarian food. the store also has numerous shelves filled with Indian gorceries. My attraction here has always been the hot food case and its daily varieties. I opted for some of the several items, that are freshly made daily. The Chole (garbanzo beans), the Dahl (lentils), the Began Aloo (Eggplant with potatoes, which in this case were not mashed) and their vegetarian (potato) Samosas. All the main items, were good, fresh and flavorful. The samosas came with a green (mint) and red (tamarind) chutneys. The latter was watery and sugary, had no body or tamarind taste and pale in color. I had to throw it out. The green chutney was superb. Service was very friendly and welcoming. I know I will be back to try more of their hot foods.
