The Himalayan Reviews
I had dinner tonight at The Himalayan (17 Ave SW). It was my first time here, and only my second Nepalese restaurant I’ve been to.
The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and very kind. The restaurant is clean, and intimate. Parking isn’t ideal, but that’s not their fault!
I started with the pork momos as an appetizer. They were excellent, but quite expensive ($16 for six regular-sized dumplings). The flavour was great, and they tasted very fresh.

The Himalayan is a hidden gem in Calgary, offering a delightful Nepali dining experience. The butter chicken and garlic naan are customer favorites, while the momos (Nepali dumplings) are praised as exceptional, with their perfect balance of flavors. The curries are all flavorful and delicious, and the staff is wonderfully kind, genuine, and helpful. The restaurant is able to accommodate various dietary needs, including food allergies, without compromising the quality of the meals. The menu provides a variety of options, allowing guests to choose their own spice level, which adds a nice touch to the experience. Customers have been pleasantly surprised by the mango and chicken curry, and the atmosphere, though a bit intimate, creates a welcoming environment. The restaurant is known for its great allergy awareness and reasonable prices, making it a fantastic choice for anyone curious about Nepalese cuisine.
The outside of the restaurant may be misleading, but the inside is warm and inviting, and customers are welcomed warmly. The food is top-notch, flavorful, and served quickly. The restaurant has been a favorite for over 10 years, with great food, amazing service, and friendly staff and owners. The dining experience is always amazing, and the restaurant is one of the top go-to places in Calgary. The wait staff is very helpful, extremely friendly, and can provide recommendations on spice levels and dish pairings. The food is awesome and lives up to the hype, with a perfect balance of heat and flavor.
