16 Best Indian Restaurants near Vista

“Don't listen to the 1 star review person...It appears maybe they did not like the dish they got. It also looks like they poured the dish into the to go rice box making a messy looking photo (not how they should eat that dish).

Anyways, the family run "hole in the wall" restaurant is outstanding. I have eaten here for a decade and consider it the best Indian food I have found so far (tried 4-5 other places).

Favorite dish: chicken korma, basmati rice and coconut Nan (an amazing sweet curry).

The price and wait time is worth it. Just make sure you have a good idea of what dish you might like so you don't end up like the one star guy. I could easily mash food together like a child and present an otherwise delicious looking dish as garbage in a photo.

Side note, the first dish I tried there I did not care for (fried pork dish). I am very happy I tried them again. My whole family raves about their curry and Nan bread.

5 stars for the owners and the food!“

“This restaurant is exactly what Oside needed! Excellent food and service. If you haven't tried them, please do so. Will not disappoint!!!“

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

“We have enjoyed dining there. So, for a birthday celebration we ordered from the catering menu. We got a large butter chicken, small lamb masala, small naan, and a large basmati rice. The food was ready for pickup when we got there and everyone raved about it! Thanks Himalayan Bistro!“

“I wish more people ate at this place, it’s such an underrated Indian restaurant. Second time here and tried the chicken biryani. Best damn biryani I’ve ever had in my life. (My picture doesn’t do it justice but the bowl was FULL and enough to share with three people if you combine it with naan). The first time I had the tikka and the samosas which were amazing as well. I can’t say enough about this place, It’s better than any other Indian restaurants I’ve tried at major cities or more well known areas. So awesome to have this place here in Oside ????“

“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.“

“The food is so good, fresh and delicious typically Indian food.“

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

“A friend of mine recommended this place because he would take his golf industry customers here. I went here for lunch and brought some co-workers with me. The food was great. We got the 65 chicken to start, tikka masala, and one other thing that they recommended. I can’t remember what is was, but it was good. We ordered everything mild to make the group happy and the spice level was perfect for the everyone. I would have probably liked medium, but it was still good. The starter, two entrees, rice, and garlic naan was plenty of food for 4 dudes. It’s a smaller place and not fancy, but we didn’t care. We came for the food and the food did not disappoint. I will go back.“

“One of the best Indian food around the area . Food has rich flavors and outstanding taste.“

He had the kiddos and adults engaged the entire time and his cooking skills are incredible! The manager was so kind, the server was extremely friendly! They were attentive and on top of making sure our drinks were filled without even needing to ask. I highly recommend this location to anyone and everyone wanting a memorable, clean & delicious experience! Thank you Benihana Carlsbad!!! See you next time“

“Great service , friendly staffs“

“Absolute best Indian food in San Diego county! I love spicy and got the 10 out of 10 chicken dish, which was outstanding. Initially smooth and savory with an after burner bite it was great! On the chicken kebab, which was ridiculously juicy and incredibly marinated full of flavor Last, but not least, they surprised us with dessert, which was a homemade ice cream with hints of pistachio and rosewater. Can’t really say more than that! You really want to have some fun with it order the mango smoothie it’s out of this world! #currylife #curry #indiancuisine #sanmarcos #delicious“
