Reviews for Taste of the Himalayas in San Diego, CA
Food is great. One of the good Indian restaurants. Service is mostly good. It has cozy date vibes and playlist is good as well.
Fantastic food! Really enjoyed the momos and lamb curry. Chef is from Bhutan so authentic Himalayan taste guaranteed here.
Ordered chicken Biryani ($15) and Gulab jamun ($4). The biryani was nothing like the real biryani, It was more of a ?Kabseh?... dish. So if you come here looking for the real Himalayan biryani you?ll be disappointed. But I loved the spices nevertheless.The spices were rich and balanced, and had the right kick. Quantity was good (I put my sunglasses and spoon forreference). Gulab jamun was good but extremely small in size. And only two balls!? I mean com?on you gotta break the duality,and the pun haha.

Delicious food and nice atmosphere, especially in the enclosed patio area. I've dined here twice recently - once for lunch and... once for dinner with a friend. While the food was great and the service friendly, be prepared to sit a while. Both times it wasa long wait for food as it appears they're short on staffing. That said, the staff that were there were very pleasant and doingtheir best. If you have the time, I definitely recommend for the food. Read more

This was a completely new taste experience for me. Nepali, Bhutanese, and Tibetan dishes range from soothing to spicy, from... vegetarian curries to meaty momos, and much more. Taste of the Himalayas are a testament to the diversity of the Himalayas withso many influences. I had an amazing lamb dish on a mix of superb spices mixed with spinach that was so delicious. I have somuch more to try and I?m just surprised how much I loved. I also brought home a special lentils soup so unique that basicallynow every week I come back for that. Read more
Delighted to have an Indian restaurant at walking distance. We went here to get takeout, but ended up sitting in the restaurant... because the interior is actually quite pleasant! We chose the mixed momos - lamb was the best, followed by the veggie and thenthe chicken (a bit chewy). The Himalayan spice paste accompanying them was good, albeit a little salty. The chicken gravy withHimalayan spices was DELICIOUS. Beautiful hint of pepper at the end of each bite. The garlic nana was well seasoned. They alsoprovide a bowl of dal, which is very homemade and comforting. There is also accompanying rice. Although the quantity looks less,it is not. The two of us had to push ourselves to finish it all. Overall, definite 4 stars and will back here very often! Read more
