Unfortunately, it is an Indian restaurant, not a Himalayas's.

Salmon was great

I'm looking forward to trying other dishes the next time I visit. Both food and service were wonderful.

As you enter you are always greeted with a 'Namaste' no matter how busy they are! I come for their MOMOS a Nepali sort of steamed dumpling...they are a lot of work to make and just a treat to have fresh...with a perfect dipping sauce...I usually place 2 orders of MOMOS (1 for me and 1 to share) and then let the other person order a special dinner. The specials come with home-made nan...yummy! And soup. And since I do not order a dinner I do not get a soup...but they offer true Himalayan hospitality and bring a bowl for me as well! Although the coupons include an 18% tip I add more because they do go over and above in hospitality. Sadly, without the coupon, the bill with tax and tip usually runs $50 and that is more than I could afford without the coupon! Read more Read less

I DO think that their soda refill policy (namely, NOT doing it!) detracts from their overall desirability for me becoming a repeat or regular customer. Frankly, at $2 bucks/soda, there are WAY too many similar restaurants out there of the SAME type of cuisine & similar price range that DO also participate in this program AND offer refills on soda for this establishment to be a choice OVER them. They MAY want to reevaulate their policy in light of that fact! (They DID offer a free small dessert at the end of our meal - which was both unexpected and lovely - but I wasn't sure if this was because it was a special day (Valentine's day), due to having an excess of product near the end of the night, or both! Nor can I be sure it's a regular) offer! Read more Read less
