Himalayan Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA

“Our food was fresh, delicious, and healthful. The service was charming. And the space is warm and inviting. We recommend it to everyone!“

“Nice Nepali restaurant with very good vegetarian options. The restaurant itself is very small and not so fancy but the food here is very good. We tried 4 different types of Momos and liked every one of them. The Lychee Lassi was different and very tasty. We also had noodles which was a bit dry but still very flavorful.. Will visit again if we are in the area. Highly recommend this place..“

“I’ve tried quite a few Indian restaurants, and Curry Leaf Indian and Nepali Cuisine is the only one that keeps bringing me back. In fact, this is the second time I’ve ordered the exact same combination: chicken biryani, vegetable samosas, raita, and gulab jamun.

The chicken biryani is excellent. What makes it stand out are the cashews and golden raisins mixed throughout the rice. They add a wonderful balance of textures and flavors—crunchy, sweet, savory, and aromatic—making the dish feel more complex and satisfying than your typical biryani.

The vegetable samosas are equally impressive. The pastry is fried to perfection: golden, crisp, and wonderfully crunchy without feeling greasy. They’re the perfect starter or snack alongside the biryani.

For dessert, the gulab jamun is absolutely delicious. Soft, rich, and soaked in sweet syrup, it’s like biting into a delicate sponge filled with honeyed goodness.

Don’t skip the raita. This cool yogurt-based accompaniment is the perfect complement to the biryani. It balances the spices beautifully and ties together the crunch of the cashews and the sweetness of the raisins, creating a harmonious bite I also appreciate the value. This order easily lasts me four meals, making it an excellent deal for both quality and quantity.

Curry Leaf has become my go-to spot, and it’s one I’ll continue ordering from again and again. Highly recommended.“
