" First time trying Himalayan cuisine and I was not disappointed! The mixed platter gave a delightful sample of various dishes, and I adored the momos. The staff was exceptional and very attentive throughout our meal. The decor and ambiance were also inviting. A place I will recommend to friends for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I had the pleasure of dining at Himalayan Kitchen, and I cannot recommend it enough! The atmosphere is warm and cozy. I ordered the lamb curry and it was just exquisite – tender meat in a rich, flavorful sauce, accompanied by perfectly baked naan. The portions are generous, and the vegetarian options are plentiful. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our lunch experience at Himalayan Kitchen was quite good! Although my lamb curry was slightly on the richer side, my dining partner loved their veggie options. The service was impressive, and the restaurant feels authentic despite being in the city. After sampling several dishes, I would say it’s worth visiting at least once! " (*Curated Review*)

" Himalayan Kitchen absolutely exceeded my expectations! Every dish we ordered was flavorful and distinctly Himalayan, with generous portions to boot! I loved the momos and their fried rice was fantastic. Service was fast, and the overall environment felt very welcoming. Will definitely recommend this place to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Himalayan Kitchen after hearing good things about it. I ordered a platter that came with several dishes, which was a good introduction to their menu. Although some dishes were great, a few lacked that umami depth I was looking for. The service was diligent, and overall, the experience was pleasant. I would try it again to see if there were any improvements. " (*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*)
