Welcome to Himalayan: A Culinary Journey Through the Mountains

We had such a nice experience here! The staff is the real deal! We went during Restaurant Week,,,, and it was VERY busy! But we had great meals, caring service, and took our own wine with a reasonable corkage fee of $10.00. Will go again!

The food is consistently good. The house salad is very good. We did take out this time, and the service was helpful. The one suggestion I have is to add tofu to the add on selection. It was not a problem, but it meant we couldn't finish the order online. The owner reached out after my review which is very thoughtful.

This was a fun find for our trip to Napa/Sonoma and I'm so glad that we made the decision to have dinner here. Thankfully we made a reservation for our group of 6 and did not have to wait very long to be seated! Staff were all incredibly friendly and made us feel immediately at home and cozy. It was busy, boisterous and beautiful -- fun and traditional. Everyone loved their dishes and I appreciated the atmosphere, we'd definitely go back. The soup to start was SO GOOD and I was happy that I ended up ordering a bowl of it with my dinner while I tried bites of everyone's main dishes. Great flavor, great food, great people. 5/5.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch here today. The lunch specials are an incredible deal. They include lentil dal soup, a salad, rice and a main dish. I appreciate being asked first what spice level you prefer- I'm a medium spicy and my lunch partner likes mild. The soup was so simple yet amazing. Their naan is quite fresh. I enjoyed the hot chai as well. Very pleasing and colorful decor. Service was kind but a touch on the slower side. Will absolutely return here.

SCW and I stopped into Himalayan for lunch. I looked at the reviews on Yelp and figured we needed to give them a try. I'm glad we did. We parked in front of the restaurant on the street which was convenient however I could see this being a difficulty during season. There are a few lots around that seem to help with that. We were warmly greeted and quickly seated. The interior is very relaxing with decor from the Himalayas which makes it very relaxing. We quickly got our menus and found they have an extensive plant based menu. Awesome! We ordered some vegetable samosas to start with which when they came out there were three chutneys to use. All were incredible however the mango chutney was my favorite. The vegetable samosas were incredible. Tons of flavor and baked to perfection. The filling was delicious and the chutneys made each bite unique. I ordered the Tofu Saag Vegan, SCW had the Chana Masala Vegan. We also ordered garlic naan and our meals came with rice. Our mains came out a little after we finished our samosas. Prior to our samosas we were given a lentil soup which was very good. The Tofu Saag (ordered 4 star spice level out of 5) was incredibly fresh, flavorful and cooked to perfection. The herbs and spices were well incorporated and complimentary. With the rice and garlic naan I was very happy with the meal. Incredibly flavorful and delicious. SCW liked her Chana Masala vegan (ordered 2 star out of 5) however she found it a little too spicy for her liking. Not knocking the dish at all just her preference is for a little less heat. The service here was incredible. I found everyone very kind, helpful and attentive. Our water glasses never got low and the pace of service was just right. Not bringing everything out at once but soup, then appetizers, then mains. I didn't feel rushed at all. The dining area is nice and clean. I'm really pleased with our meal at Himalayan and would not hesitate to come back in the future.

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.

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!

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.
