I always enjoy the food here! This was our first time getting takeout. I wasn’t prompted to indicate how spicy we wanted our meal so I forgot. We have four children so we like things really mild. Our food ended up being too spicy. That’s my bad…I’ll know better next time.

I absolutely love Himalayan Kitchen. It's my favorite restaurant in town. The staff and owners are incredible and the food is consistently good. It's apparent they really pride themselves in what they serve.

Easy takeout experience. You can order on their website and choose time of pick-up. They were right on time and made it easy to order with them. We ordered several things for our family to share, and our favorites were the lamb biryani (it's spicy!!) and the saag chicken (mild, had a cream-spinach-like sauce). The entrees comes with a side of white rice!
