Reviews for Himalaya Restaurant Ventura in Ventura, CA

Very impressed by this place and look forward to going back. Suggestion for the owners: it?s ok to back off on upselling... appetizers; when you push more than what?s adequate, it shows and it?s not a good look. And, when a child orders a meal that youhave both on the kid?s section and entrée section, at least clarify before bringing out the adult portion for a 9 year old,then telling the kid they don?t get the ice cream because they ordered the adult portion? c?mon now. All that said, excellentfood, nice atmosphere, welcoming and attentive people, and generous portions. Prices are up there but seemed acceptable for thequality of this Nepalese-leaning food. The yak pasta (only item containing yak on the menu) is $20 but worth trying at leastonce. The cauliflower dish and tikka masala chicken are both excellent. Samosa?s are solid, dumplings are take or leave, andthe naan is good. Mango ice cream is something else! Read more

Lovely place. Had lunch outside. Servers are very nice. Had the curries with the naan. Too bad I am not local resident. Will... definitely stop by again if I am in the area. Read more

Tonight was my first time here. Lots of available seating inside and outside. Promptly greeted by a friendly staff and seated.... Immediately brought out some water and menus. Overall for my first time here i enjoyed myself and plan to return to try othermenu items. Some of the Prices to me seem a bit high for the portions of food received on certain Items. Tonight I got thebutter chicken in medium heat. It could of used some more flavor and it wasn?t hot at all. I definitely did fill up thankfullyto the seemingly bottomless white rice that is served along with your food. The stuffed naan bread was great. The samosas werevery large and seem to be a favorite for most everyone. The food here seems to favor the region of Nepal. So if that interestyou and you?re ready to spend a bit more for the authentic restaurant vibes then this is a must stop for you. As I said before Ilook forward to returning and trying more items on the menu. Read more

After having a long road trip from Seattle, we randomly stopped here for a hot meal. It hit the spot in all the right places!... Felt like mom had a plate of food ready. Clean food (no added spices or creams), felt fresh and healthy and massive portions!Extremely helpful wait staff! Thank you ???? Read more

Amazing vegan and vegetarian options. We went as a group and the service was incredibly attentive and the food came out very... quickly. I'm vegan and ordered the samosas to start, the yellow lentil curry medium spicy and tandoori roti. Probably (if notdefinitely) the best indian food I've ever had. I can't remember exactly what it's called. but I would recommend trying thespinach and paneer dish as well. Read more

I always come since my first time like 3 years ago. The tandoori artichokes are just the best. I am vegetarian and they have a... lot of options. We always go with mango lassi or the beers, garlic naan, and the ice cream is also delicious. And service isalways amazing with the best vibe. They have a little market area with figures, and things from Nepal all beautiful. 10 stars ifI could! Read more

Ate here with my friend tonight. It was an awesome experience. The service was phenomenal and the food so delicious. I was very... impressed and will be going back. I tried foods that were new to my palette and loved every one! They have a huge wine list I'dlike to take advantage of as well! A major plus for me was parking is easy because there's a parking lot. There is a beautifulpatio, but we chose to sit inside because it was chilly outside. Read more

This was the 1st time my girlfriend and I tried this type of food. We decided to come here because of their variety selection of... food and vegan options. The beer was refreshing and well priced. I forgot what we ordered but definitely show the server thispicture and let him know, that you would live to try this. It could feed 3 people easily. It?s walking distance from downtown. Read more
