I asked if I could do it over to add a tip because I did not have any cash on me and the server said don't worry about it. Well I should have worried about it because my lunch total should have been $14.06 and they went ahead and added a 30% tip after I left for a total of $18.28 according to my credit card records. I did not authorize that amount and I don't appreciate the dishonesty when I tried to make it right by asking to do it over and add the tip.

The chicken was super dry, it came with some lettuce & the lettuce was limp. We came in around 8:15 and the restaurant closed at 9. At around 9 we heard them closing which was quite loud, I was asked if I wanted a box before I was done eating and when paying the server asked me for my card on the spot and had to let me know they were closing (which we could see). Also some of the tables were dirty when we walked in. This place needs improvement, I'm not sure why they have such high ratings -- I've worked as a server & in the food service industry for years also.

Himalayan Nepali Restaurant delivered a fantastic dining experience and easily earns five stars…read morefrom our visit. We came on a Friday evening and had about a 20-minute wait, but it was absolutely worth it once we were seated. Service stood out right away. Our waiter checked on us regularly and made sure our water glasses were always full, which is a small thing but goes a long way during a busy night. We started with ginger tea, which was warm, fragrant, and a great way to kick off the meal. For food, we ordered two appetizers, along with the chicken korma and butter chicken, and everything was phenomenal. The flavors were rich and comforting. One detail I appreciated was that the rice came in individual servings instead of one large shared bowl, which made it easier for everyone at the table. Great food, attentive service, and worth the wait, we'll definitely be back!

The buffet naan wasn't ideal but with 6 offerings for vegetarians under appetizer and mains + rice and naan and 6 additional meat options, it wasn't too bad. They use plastic and styrofoam which I think they should rethink styrofoam. The chai is sugar added and it would make a huge difference if the sugar was on the side for all preferences. The staff and service is decent gets the job done. If you're in the area absolutely craving Indian food- give it a shot. The paneer tikka was spicy and non creamy which was a good surprise. The same applied for the chicken tikka. Aloo gobi had zero cauliflower (or maybe it was so overcooked it completely disintegrated into the gravy). Yello tomato Dal was good, uttapam and sambar + chutney excellent, the appetizers both deep fried also pretty good. At $16.99 it was priced for the offering

Beware of the high yelp rating!…read more We were starving and excited to try this place after a couple hour hike at Umstead yesterday. We LOVE northern Indian and Nepalese food and were lured by the high yelp rating. I'll start with the good. The server was kind and efficient. The chili chicken momo were delicious. The rice and garlic naan were average to good as well. However, our butter chicken and our chicken korma tasted like nothing. It was very strange. There was texture and you could kind of taste the chicken itself but the sauces tasted like nothing. You could almost only tell the two apart based on color and texture. We ordered one of them medium spice and one mild. Even the medium spiced dish had zero flavor. I kind of thought to myself that something was off when the colors looked bright but we couldn't taste a thing. I kept thinking maybe the flavor or heat will build. It never did. Nevertheless we ate everything bc we were starving, but we were definitely disappointed in the lack of flavor. Not long after we left, our stomachs were kind of on edge but we figured this was simply from eating too much. This morning we both woke up ILL. Even though we discussed coming back for the chili momo only in the future, we have since changed our tune. I love locally-owned businesses and hate to leave a bad review but we truly did not have a 4+ star experience here. We won't be back.
