There aren't many, if any other, Himalayan restaurants in the area that I know of. Everest Currey Express is Nepalese, Himalayan, and Indian. We ordered the chicken momos, chicken korma with butter naan, and the shrimp chow mein. Also mango lassi. I liked the momos! I think those are the most Himalayan items on the menu. They don't have thali sets. The chow mein is cooked with Himalayan spices so it's a fun twist on the Chinese chow mein most people are used to. I would have liked a couple more pieces of shrimp. My order only had 4-5 pieces. The chicken korma was good. It has a nice flavor. I personally found the butter naan to be dry. But maybe their naan is just different from what I'm used to. The mango lassi tasted like what you expect from an Indian restaurant. A sweet refreshing drink. At another Himalayan place their mango lassi was thicker and sweeter. It was a good amount of food that was enough for 3 meals. For me it was yes to the more Himalayan foods because that is what makes them unique.

Gonna bump this back up to a four. Food has been consistently good again. Maybe there were just…read moregrowing pains. The chicken makhani is great again. It's no longer oddly sweet. The chicken Tikka is tasty and a great entry into Indian food if you have never been. Chicken momos were a little spicy, so if you don't like spice at all maybe skip them. Yeti hasn't undergone any deep cleans or refurbishing, it could probably use one. The booth chairs are cracking and my wife found them uncomfortable to sit on. The service is typically friendly, and we've never had issues. The only thing that still irks me is charging for a rice refill while eating in restaurant. I'll take it to the grave that rice refills in restaurant should be free.

When I was an undergrad over a decade ago, I would only come here for the lunch buffet, and it was…read moremy favorite lunch buffet to go to. Fast forward to now, my husband, sister, and I decided to come here for dinner because yeti restaurant was closed. For those who haven't been in here before, the best way I can describe this restaurant is dark. Paint is dark, booth are dark. Everything is kind of moody and dark. Definitely not my kind of aesthetic, but does that really matter for this restaurant? No. The service is always fine. Staff is always friendly enough and fast. When we got the food, we were pleasantly surprised, like I said before I have only eaten at the buffet here and that was over a decade ago. While we were eating, we noted that we actually enjoyed the flavors here more than we enjoy the flavors at yeti restaurant. Something about the blend of spices just fits our palette more than the other restaurant. We found that there was an adequate amount of food, they didn't skimp out on meats, and we were overall really happy with our meal. Is it the best Indian food I've ever had? No, but it was really good by Davis standards and consider considering that there aren't a ton of Indian places in the Sacramento area. I think this might be our new go to Indian place now! I'm glad I gave this another shot!

First of all, this spot gets a bad rap sometimes and I think it's because people are used to a…read morecertain regional Indian cuisine and people don't realize the variety of the Indian subcontinent. Kathmandu Kitchen is named after a city in Nepal, so it should be no surprise the food here is Indian and Nepali. While I can't speak to the flavor or authenticity of their momos or other Nepali staples, their curries are extremely delicious and distinct from other Indian restaurants and recipes I've tried. I think the first thing you might notice is that a lot of their curries have a touch of sweetness, and pretty much all of their curries have a consistent texture. They do an amazing job making each curry silky and rich and flavorful. Every dish tastes fresh and unique in their own spice profiles and marinades. I highly recommend the paneer tikka masala, chicken makhani (very similar/the same as butter chicken I think), kitchen masala, and basil curry. Also, their actual restaurant experience is very nice too. The staff is very courteous and professional. The restaurant is large, vibey, and clean. There are two reasons I don't give Kathmandu a 5 star. The first that both me and partner almost always need to add salt to the dish. I could see why someone might write off Kathmandu if they went a few times and wrote it off because they never tried adding salt to their dish. The second reason is that the spice level isn't as consistent as I'd like. Sometimes, asking for medium spice level results in almost no heat, sometimes it borders on too much. Sometimes getting hot spice level is hot but enjoyable, sometimes it's very hot even for me. Mild is consistent but Id guess that's because they simply don't add extra hot chili powder or something like that. Overall, I highly recommend this spot if you love Indian food and want to try some Nepali spins and flavors.

Essence Indian Cuisine was SO good! Everything we ordered was full of flavor, perfectly seasoned,…read moreand tasted really fresh. You can tell they put a lot of care into the food because every dish had its own distinct flavor instead of everything tasting the same. The sauces were rich and delicious, the portions were generous, and the food came out hot and fresh. I also really appreciated how friendly and attentive the service was. The whole experience felt warm and welcoming. This is definitely one of those places where you leave already thinking about what you want to order next time . If you're craving Indian food in Vacaville, I would absolutely recommend giving Essence a try. We loved it and will definitely be back!

This was my second visit and was a delightful meal. I first came with a coworker and they ordered…read morethe pani puri, something I'd never had. After trying it I had to come back with my wife to share that experience. It's a crispy and savory appetizer that comes with a tamarind and mint juice that when combined is an experience itself. Both refreshing and comforting - it tastes like a healthy snack that is also a close comparison to texture of potato chips. We also ordered two naan and we each got butter chicken. They were delicious, flavorful, and filling. To celebrate Father's Day we each got a dessert. The saffron ice cream was super unique, and was enjoyable. The pudding was very tasty and was our preference. The ice cream we both felt was refreshing and not overly sweet. Our service was wonderful - reservation and they called to confirm (about 5 minutes before) and had us seated immediately. Our waiter checked on us often without being too frequent, a good balance of support. Ambiance is intimate - smaller indoor seating area of about 10 tables and you can see the staff the whole time. Clean and comfortable restaurant and great service. Highly recommend - and I'd recommend the naan, butter chicken, and pani puri (going to adventure out and try more when we come back again!)

We just recently moved to the area and were wanting some Indian food but didn't want to drive to…read morefar. We ended up coming here on a Friday night after we settled in after the move. This restaurant is located in a shopping mall close to Safeway and Costco. We arrived and the place was empty. We were a bit afraid since there was no body there. We were greeted immediately and got to sit where ever we wanted. This place has comfy booths which I like because its more comfy. The reason why I didn't give this place five stars because all their beer on draft were out of order. But hey, its ok, we ordered the Indian beer large bottle which was about a pint each. We ordered the Briyani and the wrap with chicken. If you are not prepared to eat something spicy, do not ask for that!!!!! Big mistake!! It was so good but it did hurt my tummy a bit. I know Indian food is suppose to be spicy so I cant complain! The wrap was really good, kinda skimpy on the wrap itself. The crackers or whatever those things are in the plate are disgusting. Like why? Maybe call them crackers instead of fries. The price and the amount was a bit on the pricey side, but I am used to paying about $20.00 a plate at this time and age.

The food is always fresh and delicious and the portions are always more than reasonable. The inside is decorated nicely with some authentic Indian decor and the staff are always so inviting and attentive. We also got the chai tea And it was so good! I could hear the tandoori chicken as it was coming out of the kitchen because it was sizzling on the cast-iron skillet. It was so moist and juicy and had an amazing flavor. I highly recommend this place if you want some good Indian food.

It's one drumstick. The side of cucumber and onion were mostly filler so I this plate left more to be desired. Egg shami burger: C- I ordered this because it sounded interesting and was cheap, but the bread was just not enjoyable to me. It was too soft and just tasted like a premade hamburger bun. The egg is okay but doesn't stand out as something that highlights a sandwich/burger. Some contrasting textures would have helped too like a crunchy pickled vegetable. I must say though that the service is super friendly here and they gave samples of one of their spiced drinks.

I got the Samosa Chaat and the Chicken Biryani. Samosa Chaat - really good! Tons of flavor and filling. Great value for 5.99 for two pieces. Spicier then expected! They aren't playing around with the spice level here, you should let them know if you can't handle your spice. Chicken Biryani - overall, pretty solid dish. While the chicken was tender and fall apart, it was a little dry. Not dry enough to make the dish unenjoyable, but definitely a little drier than I expected when comparing to the Samosa Chaat. Service - the two individuals manning the food truck were very nice and explained all the various dishes to me. You also get a little free water with your order. Ambiance - they're located in a gas station parking lot with four or five parking spots nearby adjacent to the tire pressure refilling station. They also have a few tables and chairs set up in the shade behind the food truck if you want to eat there. Conclusion: I will definitely be back to try out some of their other dishes. If you enjoy Pakistani food and can handle your spice, stop by and give them a try.

The naan was really good - both of them. Large and fluffy naan, and reasonably priced. Issues - butter chicken wasn't what I'd ever experienced for butter chicken, it was similar but flavor was definitely unique and it was a bit runny. We said no spice and it was super hot. I actually went to the store to get stuff to mix in and after adding cream and tomato paste it was pretty good. The guy was cooking it while on the phone - not sure if that's an issue but was interesting (not AirPods phone but had phone to ear). They didn't have some of the stuff on the menu and also wasn't super helpful with explaining what a few items were. The price of the naan was good - and there's a good chance I'll get that again at some point. The butter chicken was pretty expensive, and didn't come with rice. We ordered here and pizza twist (same shared restaurant) and got basically identical orders. Neither hit the mark on the butter chicken, and this side had good naan. Pricing was about $8 more for butter chicken on this side though. Ambiance was good - clean and spacious. The heat of the chicken and the miss on the butter chicken sauce itself were a bummer.
