Himalayan Restaurant is just great. We love real Indian food and the chef serves that. It is just perfect. They only use fresh herbs and spices that are used in traditional Indian food. They even got an award for Best Indian Restaurant of Sonoma County by the Press Democrat. They specialize in kabobs, tandoors and curries. They also have the best soups. Many of their items are vegetarian, vegan or gluten free. I don't care but I know a lot of people do. The place is ever so cute and very clean. You feel at home and that is what they want for you. The service is so very wonderful and they will help you with the menu. We had curry dishes that were out of this world good and two order of garlic nann. I should have taken some with me. The tandoori chicken breast cooked in spices with the best mild creamy sauce was a real favorite. Their organic tofu tikki, which are fried tofu & garbanzo patties crumbed with beaten rice was amazing. I did not expect to like it at all, tofu is just not my favorite thing, but it was so good. We can't wait to get back there.

Given hot towels to clean your hands. Free cup of soup with entree. Service was so awesome. I could feel the passion and graciousness of the staff. Their cold water and water pitchers were fun. Their garlic naan was amazing - you should definitely get it!

Second time visiting Himalayan and it was just as good as I remember! Hubby and I shared the chicken korma, rack of lamb, and their garlic basil naan. They were also so kind to give us each a complimentary bowl of dal. Their korma is seriously some of the best I've ever had. The sauce is so flavorful!! I love the golden raisins and softened nuts they keep in the sauce - most places blend those into it completely. The lamb was heavenly. It came with 3 bone-in chops that were cooked in their tandoori oven. It was so tender and full of flavor. It was served with vegetables (a bit overcooked) and some kind of kale puree which was interesting. I'll be thinking about that lamb for days!! The service was super nice and attentive. They even brought us warm, damp towels for our hands before the meal began. I thought that was a really nice touch. The restaurant is small but stayed relatively quiet and they have nice decor. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for incredible Indian/Himalayan food. I already can't wait to go back!

This place is excellent! The rack of lamb was so delicious as was the saffron rice. The veggies were way overcooked and mushy. They kale was okay, kind of bitter. I would have preferred spinach. Their chicken korma is so good. Some of the best korma we've had. The service was great. Very friendly and welcoming. Nice ambiance.

My friend and I visit this restaurant every few months... And it has never failed to be a five star experience. Sometimes we have to wait in line a bit, but it's well worth it and the service is absolutely excellent! We each started with had a different salad; I had a quinoa salad, and my friend had a tomato salad. Both salad portions were very generous and excellent. Our meals were beautifully prepared, succulent, and perfectly spiced. The ambience here is friendly, comfortable and clean, with lots of Nepalese artwork to look at while you wait. There is one very large bathroom that has an abundance of toilet paper on a rack, so you never feel a sense of TP scarcity lol. Parking can be a bit tricky on Friday night/ weekends. One tip is to park in the lot behind the tiny lot adjacent to the restaurant. You'll have to go around the block to do it, but there is more parking there. I can't say enough about this wonderful restaurant and their excellent staff! On top of that, their prices are still very reasonable. You've got to check it out!

Flavorful evening. We recently had the pleasure of dining at Himalayan Restaurant, located on the charming town green, and were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional cuisine and warm hospitality. The highlights of our meal were the crispy and flavorful Mushroom Pakora, the refreshing House Salad, the savory Fried Noodle Of Himalayas, and the aromatic Garlic Cilantro Naan. Each dish was expertly prepared and presented, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. The combination of bold flavors and spices left us craving for more, and we can't wait to return to try more of the menu's offerings. Service: Quick and welcoming. Cozy seating area vibe.

Update 3: Still an easy place to stop by for pickup. Grabbed a couple of quick things since we had a working lunch going on. Food comes out quick, and the waitstaff have always been personable and easy to interact with. To try new things, I had gotten the Avocado Bhel and the Pani Puri balls since it had been a while. The avocado bhel was interesting. I liked the freshness of it and the ingredients. The puffed rice added a nice crunch and change in textures with each bite. I liked having the sauces on the side to play around with the flavors since it could use some oomph on that end. The Pani Puri balls were interesting, almost like singular bite samosas by flavor and design. The chutneys also helped on this end and went well with it tho I feel like I'd want to just get samosas instead in this case.

We decided on a late lunch, at this establishment. When we arrived we were greeted and seated immediately. Beer and wine only but the selections were solid. Lots of Sonoma county wines and a variety of local and international beers. The 3 of us opted for the lunch specials. They start with a soup, it had corn and maybe some potatoes, the broth had a mild curry flavor and it was really good. My dad had the grilled chicken, it came with rice a salad and a fried onion morsel. I tried a piece of his chicken and it was juicy and a nice hint of spice. He was happy with his dish but he used the sauce from my mom and me for his rice. My mom did a chicken in a green herb sauce with the rice and salad. She was very happy with her dish. She raves about it. I did the lamb aloo. The lamb chunks were tender unfortunately the dish didn't have a lot of flavor and the spice level was non existent. Next time I'm in town I would love to come back and try more offerings. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, warm orange tones with a giant picture of a yak. What's not to love

I'm a little disappointed about the recommendations I received from our server. We were given a complimentary small soup which was fine. Our server recommended the samosas and as a main entree the chicken tikka masala. I was really hoping that something more adventurous. It seemed the staff who were foreigners played it really conservative. The samosas were good with the three small dipping sauces that accompanied it. The chicken tikka masala sauce had good flavor but the chicken was overcooked in my opinion. Also there wasn't anything else in the sauce besides chicken. I realize different cultures make this differently but it just seemed a little boring. The staff was attentive and the place was clean. There was this annoying sound in the background that reminded me of some movie that had some noise generated by some time travel machine. The naan was alright. 3 1/2 stars Listing additional pics.
