Poor quality Indian food. Not a lot of Indian food in the area and so we tried this place twice. Never again. Overpriced for stale chicken and lamb. To oily.

Not worth it. Go elsewhere.

What a gem along Coast Hwy in Encinitas! Friendly service, nice decor and a well priced menu. Super flavorful entrees. The naan is amazing.

Terrible service and awful experience. Do NOT recommend.

The service was unbelievably bad. The entire place smelled very strong and unpleasant from the moment I walked in.

I only ordered one curry and one drink for pickup, yet I still had to wait 50 minutes past the estimated pickup time. That is completely unacceptable.

To make things worse, when I finally got my order, I was told the drink I paid for was out of stock. Instead of offering a refund, they refused to refund me and forced me to pick a different drink. That is not okay.

Overall, this was a frustrating, poorly managed, and extremely disappointing experience. I wasted my time and left angry.
I would not recommend this place to anyone.

It was my first time at this restaurant. Ate outside. There is about 3 small tables outside. Quite the selection on the menu. I selected 2 curries, but then followed a recommendation from the waiter which turned out to be a great choice.

The quality of the food was great and the portion size was perfect. Prices are on the lower end which was a welcome surprise.

Great gigantic selection of Himalayan dishes. Their level of spice/heat can be tailored for every dish. The server was very good at catering to my parents' needs. Good wine selection. Nice ambiance. All dishes were very reasonably priced. Plenty of parking.

Good spot for authentic food and nice dining. The chicken tikka and butter chicken were both very good, and the cilantro garlic naan was amazing. Really good spot with good service and not crowded. Definitely recommend!

Too bland for our tastes. Paneer chili had good flavor, but it's a small portion and paneer wasn't as good as the sauce and pepper/onions. Nann was just ok, again needs more flavor. Chicken buriani, chicken overcooked, chunks too large, very bland even though we asked for spicy.

WHATTA TREAT ! My wife and I love Indian food but these guys take it to the next level by combining Nepali, Indian and Tibetan fare under the one roof. Not that we are totally familiar with Nepali or Tibetan cuisine but we have certainly enjoyed our share of delicious Indian dishes over the years. On Friday we headed over here for dinner inside the restaurant at about 5.30pm. This was a FIRST because the restaurant had opened during the pandemic in November and the owners have played it very safe with no inside dining since then...until our visit on Friday evening. Even though they have use of the covered patio out the front ( no gas heaters ) we prefer to dine inside particularly in the cool weather lately. I had a chat with the manager Laxman on Thursday and he told me we would be welcome to dine inside for dinner on Friday. And we did ! When we entered the restaurant via the rear exit Laxman ushered us to a table against the wall. We were the only diners inside at that time. Laxman brought us a glass of iced water and a cold Lagunitas IPA beer at my request. When he returned we ordered 1 x Vegetable Samosa Appetizer ( we love these so much we ordered 3 extra serves to take home..only $4 a serve ), 1 x Chicken Korma, 1 x Shrimp Tandoori and 1 x Garlic Cilantro Naan Bread. Laxman manager / server extraordinaire was taking care of everything ..fetching take-out orders for customers, answering the phone, greeting new diners, looking after 3 or 4 tables on the outdoor patio plus us. Our Vegetable Samosa appetizer hit the table fast and tasted wonderful with the side of Tamarind dipping sauce ...GONE IN 60 SECONDS ! Our dinner order arrived pretty much in one hit shortly after. Firstly my sizzling steaming and colorful Shrimp Tandoori came out.....such a spectacular arrival I shot a video. My wife's Chicken Korma with huge bowl of Basmati Rice arrived seconds later and looked totally delectable. Our serve of Garlic Cilantro Naan bread arrived at the same time. My wife loved her Chicken Korma and of course piling it on the scrumptious Naan bread made it even tastier. My Shrimp Tandoori tasted perfect..juicy char-grilled shrimp, delicious veggies combined well with the amazing Naan bread. My wife boxed the remains half of her Chicken Korma & rice. By the time we asked Laxman for the bill there were another 3 tables being served inside the restaurant plus the outdoor patio was packed. And we could see they were doing huge take-out business..obviously the word is out that the food here is irresistible
