My partner and I went there for the first time today and were blown away. She hadn't really had much Indian food but I regularly crave it but there's nothing in Florence where we live, and not even in Newport, surprisingly. We read the reviews here on Yelp and I knew we had to go! We were not disappointed! We ordered the Pakora appetizer, which is the best I've ever had. Yummy and crunchy without being greasy. Yummy tamarind and mint sauces perfectly complimented them. We also ordered the garlic cheese naan. OMFG! Soft, hot, buttery, garlicky and stuffed with cheese! You could make a meal out of it! I ordered the butter chicken and it was delightfully flavorful with amazing sauce and tender chunks of chicken. Incredible. Our waiter was awesome, not pushy, ready to answer our questions, and was very personable. He actually followed the chef/owner when he was in Petaluma CA. Coos Bay is blessed to have this restaurant in their grasp! As Guy Fiery would sometimes say regarding special restaurants, the Himalayan is a DESTINATION restaurant. Worth traveling hours for to experience! Don't miss it!!

Love this place! It's truly a big city cultural gem offered to our little community! The food is authentic and absolutely delicious and the wait staff and management are friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. The prices are higher relative to fast food restaurants, but worth it in terms of dish size and quality. They aren't on DoorDash yet, but definitely worth the "sit in" or "order to go" experience.

Unbelievable food!! I've driven by this place hundreds of times, thinking it was some kind of bar. So glad my friends took me here yesterday...having been to Nepal and India, I can tell you this was 100% authentic, with all the right spices and textures. Being vegan, I was relieved to find they had plenty of vegan options for me. Portion sizes were enough for a doggy bag, and I left a truly happy camper. Do yourself a favor and try them out :-)

To go orders had no napkins or utensils when brought back to hotel. Spice level varied widely between what we were calling spicy on both dishes. Aloo Gobi was delicious and by far the best part of our meals.

The food at Himalayan restaurant was delicious and the service was good as well. Will defiantly come back.
Great food. Decor is sad. All in all I still go here since there is no good food in Coos County but the bill adds up fast when they charge for everything that should come with your food like a piece of naan which is $4. They would do much better if they were a little more generous. But at least it's good food. Try the sweet rice!

Flavorful, balanced, and excellently seasoned dishes of paneer tikka masala and palak paneer. If you're in the area, it's a must-try. If you're not in the area, go out of your way to try it anyway.

I popped in for lunch after hearing how good Himalayan was from a friend and I'm glad I did. They had very few patrons but seemed to be doing a fair amount of takeout while I was there. Service was adequate, and the restaurant could use some updating, but the food was great. I started with the samosa. It was crispy, the filling tasty, and the two sauces a lovely complement. I ordered the lamb tikka masala and basmati rice for my entree with a side of garlic naan. The lamb could have been more tender for the cut of meat, but the sauce was great and I found myself heartily dipping my naan into it. With the tip, $40 was pretty pricey for one but the meal could have easily been split between two people. In fact, I took as much home that I had it again the next day. I must also note that they gave a lunch menu for about $20 an entree and it comes with salad, soup, and dessert. Definitely a better value. Overall, I had a great experience and will be back...with friends.

This place is nice! Great food and a nice atmosphere, too!Vegetarian options: Many Indian dishes are vegetarian! ?
When we came into your restaurant, I got the waiter/server's attention when I mentioned dear friends of mine in Nepal. I'm just learning the Nepali language. Please bear with me as I learn.Namastey. For my 75th janmadin, a sathi and I dined Himalyan syle. It was Maile adesa diem Takari. Seva mahana thiyo. Khana svadista. Dhanyavada!They even told me of the wonderful benefits of Mustard Oil.
