“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.“

“The very best Indian food I have ever eaten in all of San Diego county.“

“Taste of Himalayas offers an authentic Indian and Nepali dining experience with a charming atmosphere and impressive flavors. The decor reflects both Indian and Nepali influences, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance. From the moment you step in, the welcoming staff makes you feel at home, adding a personal touch to the experience.

The food here is remarkable, with the daal tadka and paneer chilli being standout dishes. The daal is flavorful, with just the right blend of spices, and the paneer chilli is delightfully seasoned, delivering a perfect balance of heat and savoriness. Pairing these with the garlic naan, which is perfectly soft with a hint of crispness, enhances each bite and is a must-try for naan lovers.

The meal ends on a slightly less memorable note with the gulab jamun, which was just average in taste compared to the other dishes. Still, overall, Taste of Himalayas is a wonderful choice for those seeking authentic flavors in a warm setting. The combination of excellent food, friendly service, and beautiful decor make it a place worth revisiting.“
