    New Indian restaurant in town [Sacramento CA] A friend said that we should try this new Indian restaurant. First of all, locating the place was not the easiest because there is no clear sign directly leading to the restaurant so if you see IHOP just know you are at the correct parking area. Inside is clean with lots of seating including booths and tables in the main dining room. This is a counter-service restaurant so after looking through the menu you must place your order at the register area. You will pay at end of your meal (also at the counter). I'm not very familiar with Indian food and the menu has a wide variety. They have 3 binders (menus). I think they must make more because there were 3 of us and we already took 2 of those binders. I chose Butter Chicken because that's all the Indian food I know that's tried and true with me. I asked for zero spice. While it was very good it was definitely spicy for me. Next time I may need to request for negative zero spice. Rice was complimentary so thank you. I had to ask for glasses of water at the end of our meal. Apparently, they don't automatically serve glasses of waters! First time I've heard from any restaurant. We were given bottled waters. Okaaaay. It was nice catching up with friends though... this is a fairly new restaurant and the interior aesthetics were nice. I believe they will offer buffet soon. Easy access from the I-80 freeway.

    Garlic Naan

    Tried this new restaurant and it did not disappoint at all. The food was so flavorful, authentic, and clearly made with care. I had the dhaba paneer with naan, which was rich, satisfying, and full of delicious flavor, and my husband had the biryani, which was equally amazing. Everything we ordered was so good, and it's always exciting to find a new spot that actually delivers on taste and authenticity. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

    This new restaurant in town is exciting. Their Biryanis are pretty damn close to how it's made in Hyderabad. Authentic aroma all over the food. The ambience is quiet and pleasant. Their menu has some unique dishes that are flavorful and true to the taste. Must try are Nizami chicken dum biryani, Kaju chciken fry, Goat Haleem, Orugallu kodi pulao, Irani chai

    I stumbled into this little gem through Yelp with my daughter for our monthly mother/daughter date. I didn't know they just opened for business for a few weeks but I'm very glad I went there bc the service was superb and the food was delicious! What attracted me to go were the decorative pictures on the wall. We had the butter chicken which had a perfect kick and was very flavorful. Their garlic naan was also made to perfection. The texture and garlic were on point. Can't wait to go back and try their other menu items. Definitely go and give them a try for Indian food.

    Love their food! It's a new restaurant in town right behind IHOP. Decor is simple and prices are amazing! Fed a group of 8 people under $200 and we ordered food to eat and to take with us! Portions are decent sized and dishes are delicious. Definitely worth trying in the Natomas area!

    Chicken biriyani $17 large size and worth every penny

    Absolutely the best chicken biriyani I've ever had! Just sooooo good! Friendly service and beautiful decor. Lovely for groups. I am coming back as often as I can!

    Recreating Hyderabadi vibe

    I dont usually get impressed easily. Im a big foodie who hands out 1 star and 2 star reviews withour hesitation. The haleem was on another level and it took me straight to Hyderabad, the real old city flavor is hard to find anywhere but they nailed it. The chicken biryani was authentic too. The charminar picture in the restaurant is impressive feels like i'm in hyderabad, it adds that nostalgic hyderabadi vibe and makes the whole experience feel special. Honestly this is one of those rare places that earns praise from a tough critic like me. Highly recommended.

This time during our dine in we had the most negative experience at this place. We ordered choley bhaturey, 2 pieces of Samosa and the tandoori platter for the dinner. The samosa were very average, the choley bhaturey were good but when the tandoori platter arrived it looked loaded with red color, upon tasting the meat tasted and smelled bad, also the flavors were totally off. We raised the concern with the server and mentioned have had only one bite the whole thing was untouched, their solution to the situation was no refund, they can instead give a curry in exchange which was barely $10-$12, while the platter costed whopping $28.50 plus taxes, which we didn't accept and left the place. This place has a very basic ambience but I always rated this place well due to consistency in taste of their vegetarian food, and always ordered with instructions to go easy on oil. We have decided to never visited this place and would not recommend it either and if you are all this place, please avoid their non-vegetarian dishes.

Each dish was so flavorful and you can tell that they truly put their heart and soul into everything that they make. I will definitely be a regular at Himalaya Momo and suggest you do the same.

The highlight of the entire experience? The stuffed mushrooms. Unreal. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and honestly one of the best things I've had at any Indian restaurant. I would go back just for that. The biryanis were rich and fragrant, the curries were creamy and well-balanced, and everything tasted fresh.
