Himalayan Magic Masala

I was charged $15.99 for an item listed at $11.99 on their website, with the explanation that the menu online wasn’t updated. When I brought the order home, the accompanying sauces were missing. On calling to request at least a refund of the price difference and to point out the issue, I was told to bring the entire order back if I wanted any adjustment. When I clarified that this was a courtesy call to provide feedback, the call was abruptly ended.

The handling of the situation felt dismissive and a mockery of customer service. Between the incorrect pricing, missing items, lack of accountability, and rude customer service, I can’t recommend this place. There are too many restaurants that value their customers to waste time here.

We visited Himalayan Magic Masala in San Jose for the first time with our family visiting from Canada, and we were all blown away! They said it was the best Nepali food they've had so far, and we completely agree. The butter chicken, momos, pani puri, tandoori chicken, and especially the butter naan and lacha paratha were absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. We’ll definitely be going back!

If you’re searching for the true taste of the Himalayas, look no further than Himalayan Magic Masala, tucked inside West Gate Mall. This hidden gem serves up authentic Nepali and Indian flavors that will transport your taste buds straight to the mountains of Nepal.

From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and genuine smiles. The customer service is exceptional — friendly, attentive, and passionate about the food they serve. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular, the team makes you feel like family.

Now let’s talk about the food – absolutely sensational.

🔥 MOMOs (Dumplings): These are hands-down the best momos in town. Perfectly steamed or fried to golden perfection, the filling is juicy, flavorful, and seasoned with Himalayan spices that linger beautifully on the palate. Their spicy achar (sauce) is the real deal — bold, tangy, and addictive.

🍛 Goat Curry: Rich, rustic, and incredibly tender — the goat curry here is a masterpiece. Cooked slowly in traditional spices, each bite is a burst of deep, comforting flavor. It pairs beautifully with steamed rice or freshly made naan.

🥘 Nepali Thali: A stunning presentation of Nepali culinary tradition. You get a little bit of everything — lentils, vegetables, pickles, meat, and rice — perfectly balanced, beautifully spiced, and made with love. It’s a complete meal and a cultural experience on a plate.

🍜 Chow Mein: Stir-fried to perfection with just the right amount of smoky wok flavor, their chow mein is fresh, loaded with veggies, and seasoned with Himalayan flair. Simple, satisfying, and incredibly delicious.

Whether you’re craving a comforting thali, spicy momos, or a hearty curry, Himalayan Magic Masala delivers magic in every bite. It’s more than just a restaurant — it’s a taste of home for many and a delightful discovery for those new to Nepali cuisine.

3.5 rounded up. gobi manchurian was pretty decent but quite pricey for an appetizer ($12.99)... the breading was also super thick and rather bread-y

Staff is very rude. Very bad behavior and pathetic food and services.

Best food in the town with best service

Manager is super rude and it looks like they don’t care about customers…Save your hard earned money and never ever go , there are actually 1000+ restaurants in bayarea who actually serve delicious food with respect and politeness… Highly disappointed experience and pathetic taste of food

We have been here and ordered already and even after 15 mins they didn’t bother to serve water and when i asked the waiter was so so rude , i definitely don’t want to come again and save ur time as well if u want some respect
Totally waste of time

Very good food and service. Himalayan chicken and chicken momos are a must try.
Generous quantity.

Great food and even better service. Pawan single handedly maintains the entire front of the store and does a phenomenal job. This place is far from my house so I visit rarely. 3 months between my previous visit and today's visit and he remembers exactly what I would order. Greets me, guesses my order before I say it, and gets it. Great job. And the food is excellent too- very flavorful and well prepared.

good service! great chicken!

Great food in the town . Saag paneer is my favorite
