15 Best Indian Restaurants near Carlsbad

“We tried taste of the Himalayas for dinner and were extremely impressed. We are vegetarian, and this restaurant has a complete vegetarian section to choose from, which is rare. We enjoyed the vegetable tandoori, paneer tikka masala, and the navaratan korma (vegetable coconut curry), plus an order of 4 garlic naan peices. All dishes came with biryani rice. Everything was delicious!

The vegetables in the tandoori were perfectly charred, yet still tender crisp. They included large peices of eggplant, zucchini, red and green pepper, cabbage, paneer, broccoli and cauliflower. We ordered two sides of spicy sauces to go with the veggies. We ordered the korma coconut curry mind for my 9-year-old son, and he loved it over rice. The paneer tikka masala was also delicious. We ordered it with medium spice and it was perfectly prominent in every bite. It was extremely flavorful. Since it was raining off and on, the chiya tea we ordered with milk and spices really hit the spot. It was so delicious and well balanced.

This was honestly one of the best Indian/Himalayan meals we have ever had, and as vegetarians, we've had plenty! The service was extraordinary, with detailed guidance on the menu, spice levels and options for kids. I accidentally dropped my knife on the floor, and without asking anyone, our server brought me a clean knife. Who does that?!!! That's is a must try for Indian/Himalayan food in the Carlsbad area.“

“Definitely the best Indian Cuisine I've ever had, compared to a lot of Indian food restaurants across the US.....sooo delicious“

“So flavorful! I like the Pokra as an appetizer and the Malai Kofta, Ram Torya, or Bhanta Aloo as entrees. The naan is really flavorful too.
In the year after first trying the Malai Kofta here, I ordered this at every other Indian restaurant to compare. No other curry and kofta was able to match here. Himalayan Kitchen was the best“

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant, thanks in large part to the server. She was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations. The food was also outstanding – delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back.“

“Indian/Nepalese cuisine is one of my favorite cuisines. I am South African and grew up eating eating variety of traditional curries and stews. I travel a lot for work and have had the fortune of trying some of the best Indian restaurants in the nation, including dozens of places in SoCal. Everest Himalayan Cuisine is by far, the best restaurant I've ever been to. This cozy casual restaurant opened in November originally for take-out. I am a big fan of dine-in, so I was excited to find out that they recently opened for dine-in. I came with my best friend (we're always looking for new favorite restaurants). We decided to get a couple things to share. Started off with the Lamb Momos. They were such a wonderful treat. For Entrees, we went with the Lamb Tikka Masala and the Butter Chicken with Cilantro Garlic Naan. While eating our Momos, an adjacent table received their Tandoori Chicken and Lamb. It smelled and sounded so good, we decided that we would have to order more (we also ordered Chicken Vindaloo and Chicken Tandoori). Our food came, and when I dipped my Naan into the sauce, I nearly cried it was so good. It reminded me of a better version of my grandmas famous Tikka Masala. It's was then, that I knew this would become my new favorite place. It was so flavorful and luscious. All the meat was so tender. The Naan was supple, while pillowy and stretchy at the same time, (clearly proofed perfectly). Every dish we tried was the best iteration of the dish I've ever had. I usually order my food quite spicy (9-10), but if you like a flavorful warm heat, get a 5 to 7. We ordered another order of the Cilantro Garlic Naan to get every bit of the sauce. I know I'll be back soon. I really would like to try more of their dishes and their desserts. They also have a nice Lunch Special, I'd like to try. Thank you for sticking around, and reading to the end. I hope more people discover this new place; there's nothing like it, especially in San Diego.“

“This is by far the best indian authentic food experience that we tried. The tandoori variety of dishes is amazing. We've been returning to this small restaurant for a few times since we discovered it. My kids love it!
The lady who cooks here knows what needs to be done to crave for the authentic indian taste. Highly recommend it to everyone who wants to experience an authentic, delicious indian cuisine.“
