Reviews for Himali Kitchen in Pittsburgh, PA
An attractive, hole-in-the-wall Nepali restaurant I noticed pop up on my commute. Having a taste for food of all kinds, and... quite liking the local Nepali flare, I decided to give it a try! And I was not disappointed. When I went to pick up my food, Inoticed the interior was small, clean, and fairly well put together. Perhaps a little crowded in spots, but they definitely puteffort in. There are even some drawable placemats for kids (albeit I didn't see any Crayons, so perhaps BYO). The service tooktime and patience, but they're a small business. They saw to me as best I could, even though there was a bit of a wait. Nothingthat I'm concerned about, but if you are, just be prepared if that is the case. As for the food, it was delightful. I didn'tget as massively sized portions as some of the local Nepali places provide, but everything I did get was flavorful, and full ofgood stuff. The Chatpatay was hot. This was probably the first Nepali cuisine location nearby that wasn't afraid to reallyhumble me with its food. I've had heat build up over time, and I've had the initial kick of some thing set me back. But thisplace really raised the bar on me, so if you want spice, you can find it here. Though, not everything is super spicy. My porksekuti was more middling in its spice, and my sadeko momo were about mild in terms of spice, but also very delicious. So,really, you can find just about anything here if you're willing to look. And it's a quaint spot that could definitely deservesupport as one of our local businesses. Read more
First word that comes to mind is wow! I had the samosa chaat, momo, chicken biyrani, veggie pakora, a dough ball desert and the... mango Lassi drink. I would get everything again except the desert (it seemed like plain dough just soaked in sugar water).Portions are nice size (big but not too big). Everything is homemade and exceptionally flavorful and delicious. It is not toospicy for most Americans palette. The dipping sauce is so good I scraped the container. I ate every bite of every dish over 2days. Price is very reasonable. My goal is to try everything on the menu. Soup and a curry dish is next! Read more
We stumbled upon this amazing little hole in the wall quite accidentally, and I'm so glad that we did. Though it's not a... cuisine we are familiar with, every single thing that we tried was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. Read more
Food was kinda of bland and Iacked flavor in general. Some of the spices were thrown in whole so you are picking out big leaves... and chunks of things. It took 3 people to figure out the checkout system. Had to wait for one to show up while the other 2 stoodthere watching the tv. All this was while my food was sitting and waiting on the counter. Won't go back. Read more
This place is also the best place for Himalayan food and Nepali foods. When you go there, don't forget Mo Mo or spicy Mo Mo. It... is the best dish I have ever tasted. It was also a large bowl that I was able to eat for three meals. The rest of the foodsmells really good and I can't resist not eating it. I would go back here again and again. I uploaded the recent menu and thereare plenty of foods that you could order. Read more
The momos here are amazing! If I go here again I would simply order all kinds of different momos for whatever meal I'm having!... We ordered veg steam momos and veg Chilli momos which were fried veg momos in paneer chilly like panfried veggies. It was spicyso order if you can handle it! Veg chowmein was fine too. The paneer Tikka masala was much different than the North Indianversion we eat. Because this is a Nepalese take on the same just be aware. There is no roti/Naan with it though. Read more
