" Our dinner at Himalayan Kitchen was lovely! Even though we experienced a slight delay in our orders due to busy hours, the staff communicated well and ensured we were taken care of. The flavors of the food were enjoyable, but I'm hoping they can amp up the spices even more for authenticity in some dishes. Overall, a pleasant meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was decent but not overwhelmingly impressive. The chicken tikka masala I had was quite creamy, more so than what I expected from a traditional recipe. However, the service was friendly, and the restaurant's atmosphere was clean and welcoming. At least the portion size was commendable but I think I might try another place next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high expectations, my experience at Himalayan Kitchen was somewhat underwhelming. The food was decent but lacked that authentic touch I had hoped for. The butter chicken was more creamy than it should have been for a traditional dish. Service was friendly but a bit slow. The atmosphere was cozy but it felt a bit crowded. I might give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Himalayan Kitchen recently and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The Chicken Curry was well-spiced without being overwhelming, and the Naan was fresh and soft. The service was prompt and my server was very attentive. Only downside was the noise level, which made it hard to converse. Overall, I would recommend it for a casual dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love this place! The naan is outstanding – the best I've had, and I'm pretty picky about it! The Chicken Masala is packed with flavor, as are the momos. Service was quick and friendly, and the portions are just right. I highly recommend Himalayan Kitchen if you're looking for good Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" There was a bit of a wait but it was worth it! The momos were the best I've had outside of Nepal. The ambiance of the restaurant felt authentic. I was delighted by the friendly service, even at peak hours. Also, I ended up getting a takeaway for their delicious mango lassi, which was light and refreshing. Overall a wonderful dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was tasty, I didn't find it to be quite as authentic as I had hoped. The chicken curry was too creamy for my liking and lacked the spice kick that I'm used to. The service was average, and the atmosphere was busy but pleasant. I might not rush back, but it wasn’t a bad experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)
