Absolutely Incredible Indian Cuisine!

We had an amazing dinner here and were blown away from start to finish. Our server, Sam, was phenomenal—warm, knowledgeable, and so passionate about the food. He walked us through several off-menu specials we never would have known about, and every recommendation was spot-on.

We ordered garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, shrimp coconut curry, lamb rogan josh, raita, and papadum—each dish bursting with rich, layered flavors. You can taste the freshness and care in every bite.

And the mango lassi? Hands down the best we’ve ever had—perfectly creamy, refreshing, and full of real mango flavor.

Every dish was exceptional, the service was top-tier, and the experience left us already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!

It's a small intimate restaurant with a huge amount of character! Food is fabulous, service was fast and friendly and the environment made us feel right at home. It was a cold rainy night and the Himalaya Cafe was a bright spot through it all!

Best malai kofta I’ve ever had!! And the staff is super friendly! A+ … would highly recommend

A Cozy, Romantic Gem with Truly Delicious Authentic Indian Food
Himalayan Café in Old Saybrook is not your typical Indian restaurant, it’s much better! It has a warm, romantic atmosphere—with soft lighting, plush seating, and fluffy pillows that make you want to stay a while. The meals are prepared authentically and traditionally. Our dinners were absolutely delicious,
The service was excellent. Our server was extremely kind, accommodating and informative.
This restaurant is the best Indian restaurant my husband and I have ever dined at.
Looking forward to returning very soon.

Very good food. They spice it to your liking. Very accommodating to food alterations. We didn’t want cream and they were fine with that. Great atmosphere as well.

We had a great time at this fine Indian establishment which serves vegetarian, non-vegetarian , vegan and gluten free dishes. We ordered butter chicken (the best we ever had) shrimp coconut curry, gobi chilli bites, crispy chickpea chaat, jalapeño naan— all so fresh & delicious. This place has such a wonderful ambiance and warm service.

This was such a gem to find! The food was absolutely exceptional, with flavors that were authentic and luxurious. We had the saag paneer and the daal tadka and it was so unique and delicious. The naan was also the perfect consistency of light, stretchy and crunchy on the bottom from the tandoor. I cannot say enough how much I loved eating here! It is by far the best cuisine in town, and is comparable to amazing and authentic Indian food in NYC, Philly, and Edison.
