What a gem! The flavors and spices are not like anything you will find in typical cuisines. Owner Jay had great recommendations as our party wanted to focus on unique dishes. Must order momo appetizers (dumplings) that are served with a spicy/hot sauce and a milder but equally flavorful sauce. We appreciate being treated like relatives who had come for a delicious meal. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. A great value for a great meal. Highly recommend!

First time here, had a party of 12. The food was delicious and the service amazing. Didn’t know how small the place was so it was difficult finding space. The employees were very kind and accommodating. Amazing place, would definitely recommend the place. The only issue I faced was the small size of the place.

I ordered for delivery from HK and was disappointed after reading many favorable reviews.First, the delivery fees/convenience fee/taxes were all astronomical even when ordering directly from the website.Most importantly, the food was subpar. Some reviews said the tikka masala was the richest in flavor they’ve ever tasted - to me, it tasted like tomato sauce with too much sugar. Both the palak and the biryani lacked herbs and spices, palak just tasted like creamed spinach, and the naan was more of a pita bread than naan.Perhaps people’s dine in experience was different than my delivery, or perhaps I didn’t order the best dishes, but I won’t be ordering from here again - sticking to Masala on the Sq.

This is a little hidden gem in union square. The food is absolutely delicious, and the service was incredible. HIGHLY recommend the chicken madras. The owner was really friendly too, and checked in to see how we were doing! Looking forward to coming back sometime.

This is hands down the best chicken tikka I’ve ever had in my ENTIRE life. Lived up to the flavor the articles I found said. I’ll never order it anywhere else. Can’t speak to other stuff. The naan and tikka and second to none.

The worst biriyani I’ve ever had. It was like rice cook with few chicken pieces and paprika, nothing else.

Terrible food and untrained staff. The samosas I got were cold at the core, which means they can’t even microwave a staple Indian appetizer properly. The food I ordered was terrible in taste. Everything I ordered was finger food and yet they gave me one piece of napkin laid on a thin plastic plate. It was absolutely cheap. You can be cheap, but you gotta have good food to overcome it.The manager-esque person was heavily catering most of his time to a bigger table and the rest of the staff was squandering around not knowing what to do. It was clear they weren’t trained well because I saw one person scratching her bum walking from one table to another.I seriously wonder how this place has such a high rating. Don’t waste your money here.

Yumm. I think I found my new spot for Indian food! Ordered online for take out on a Saturday afternoon right when they opened. They have a small dining space, there were a few people dining in when I walked in at noon to pick up, but definitely on the slower side. FYI, if you order off their website there's a small convenience fee. I got the chicken momo (steamed), chicken vindaloo, lamb vindaloo and naan. The chicken momos were tasty, good flavor - hint of curry, the spicy dipping sauce on the side provides a good kick! The vindaloos were soo good. More tangy than other places I've been to but in a good way! Lamb/chicken pieces were tender. Wish the naan was fluffier.. but all in all, a solid place. Their menu is extensive, planning on coming back to try other things.

Himalayan Kitchen was an absolute gem of a find! Every dish we tried was bursting with delicious flavors. While the lack of weekend reservations and the small dining space might mean a bit of a wait, trust me, it's all worth it once you taste the amazing food! I highly recommend trying the spicy momos or anything with their grilled chicken – simply divine!

I have almost visited every Indian, Nepali restaurant in and around Boston. Today I ordered a goat biryani and clearly they don’t know how to make a biryani. This was the worst biryani I ever had till now. There was a very overpowering taste and smell of turmeric, didn’t taste anything other than the turmeric. Had to throw away the biryani and snack for tonight. Hope I would get a refund for that. Horrible taste. Not even close to a biryani. Biryani had bell peppers and green pees in it. Who puts such things in a GOAT BIRYANI. Horrible dish. Please don’t order this dish here. A truly disheartening experience.Please watch this: https://youtu.be/0sAT8Gvm0Cs?si=1QikNx3NQ2OSU8NC
