Reviews for Taste Of The Himalayas in Pittsburgh, PA
Food is amazing. Fresh, spicy, authentic, delicious! Interior is very nice and modern too. I've had the momo, chicken biryani, a... pureed Eggplant dish with rice (can't remember the name) and a few other things. Everything has been a 9 or 10. Owner seems verynice. Portions are large. I heard dining in is an even better experience. I can't wait to try more dishes! Read more
The interior of the place is modern and clean, very different from its outside appearance. They serve papad after you are seated... which is delicious with the red chutney. Chicken Choila was delicious with its spices. Veg Pakora was also good. The quantity ofboth Chicken and Mutton Thali was big. The thali was average, the mixed veg and naan are both ok. The service is absolutelyamazing. They are very friendly and feed with love and warmth. Read more
The food was pretty bland surprisingly. We ordered a to go order & the portions were tiny. I had to prepare myself something... else to eat after finishing this "meal". I've eaten better packaged Dal Tadka meals from the grocery store. Read more
The butter chicken is divine. Seriously the best thing I've ever tasted. It was my first time trying Indian food and I will 100%... be back. There was a little bit of a wait but it was well worth it. Its a small place so you just have to be patient. The peoplewere super nice to my fiance when he picked up the order. I recommend you give it a try. Read more
A surprisingly tidy and welcoming restaurant. Huge portions with a highly readable menu, full of delicious options. They seem... pretty busy if you come dine in, and parking is so limited I would say to plan for the KFC lot next door. That being said.Picking up some food for takeout would be an awesome treat after work any day! Read more
The storefront and signage are low-key and easy to miss as you're driving down 51, but it's actually pretty swanky on the... inside. There's been an increase in Indian, Bhutanese and Nepalese restaurants in the South Hills. So while you might havegotten along on novelty in the past, more choices does make for pickier customers. I was overall happy with Route 51Restaurant. The naan was delicious. Their Chicken Tikka Masala had a nice richness and good spice to it (not heat spice, butseasoning). We also ordered a Curry along with a plate of Chicken 65 and Veggie Momos. The portions of the momo's and Chicken65 were almost surprisingly large. Way more like an entree than an appetizer. In retrospect looking at the price of them, theyare about the same cost as an entree. I'd say for two people an appetizer, entree and some bread is probably enough. My onlyreal 'complaint' would be that it did take some time for the food to come out, and it came out a few dishes at a time. We werewarned it would take 15-20 minutes, but our last dishes didn't come out until almost an hour after we ordered. We were eatingthe dishes as they were made, so it's not like we were starving. Fortunately we always split our food anyways. Otherwise one ofus would probably been pretty upset. The fact that the meal takes time means the food is being cooked fresh, a good thing. Doesmake the it drag on a little. Luckily we weren't in a hurry at all. The portion size along with the wait, by the time the currymade it's way out we were both stuffed. I can definitely see myself going there again. I think the food is a little better thanthe restaurants up the road. It's probably middle of the road as far as pricing goes, the check was a surprise but not a shock.The wait wasn't awesome but... I'd rather wait for real food than quickly be served some reheated or frozen stuff from a box. Read more
