Himalayan Bistro Oceanside

Himalayan Bistro in Oceanside is a hidden gem! The dumplings (momos) were perfectly steamed with a flavorful filling and just the right dipping sauce. The salmon tikka was outstanding and tender, smoky, and well-spiced without being overpowering. I also loved their chai tea, which was fragrant and comforting, and the mango lassi was creamy, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Not to mention paneer chilly . Service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming. Definitely a spot I’ll return to for both comfort food and unique flavors.

We're in town for the weekend and wanted something delicious and different to eat. Found this gem. Wow! If you love delicious curry and Indian flavors, this place definitely deserves a visit.
While I have not yet had the pleasure of visiting in person, I've had my share of good and bad Indian cuisine to know that this place is delicious. We hade different lunch specials and everything was superb.

Holy hell that was good! And the service was top notch! I had the Chicken Saag with the Butter Paneer Bread. Wow! The dinner came with an incredibly rich lentle soup. Also, if you like spicy - they know how to do spicy! 🔥. When asked 1-10 spice level, I suggest subtracting 1 or 2 from your first impulse. The waitress was kind enough to warn me and I'm glad she did. A 5 was perfect for me.

By far the best Indian food I've ever had, and I've had Indian food in Artesia (Little India) and in London. The waitresses are very sweet and make sure to make your order with the exact spice level tailored to you. I highly recommend eating here!

This place has the best curry I’ve had in America and maybe the best I’ve ever had. Fantastic flavor, piping hot. My only complaint is it’s so piping hot I can’t shovel it into my mouth fast enough. Delicious!

The most delicious Himalayan food around! We drive farther to come to this location because the portions and flavor are better than any we've had! And always great service!

Oh my gosh, I’m beyond words with how amazing this place is. I happened to find this place on Google, and my god am I glad did. The food was absolutely amazing, the quality, quantity, and freshness was absolutely on point. The owner even came out and just sat there and chatted with my husband, my son, and I, he was such a sweet gentleman. We will 100% be coming again and recommending to family and friends!

Great food and service

Great food. We truly enjoyed the food. If you are not used to spicy food you may want to get less than 5 on spicy scale.
