Samosas

“My go-to’s are their daal, kwati, veggie momos, samosas, fried rice, chicken choyala, and chicken tikka masala”
The vibe
Unassuming neighborhood gem where the lentils have been slow-cooked with care. Warm service, hearty portions, zero pretension.

Very cute restaurant with a menu heavy on curry. I had our server order for me, and was worried about getting something too hot for this old man's stomach. The Chicken Thukpa placed in front of me was outstanding. Only a slight curry flavor with what I believe was cilantro and ginger, but very pleasantly sweat. Everything on the menu can be ordered with any desired level of spiciness. We also ordered a spicey vegetable and lamb curry soup that was also excellent.
My favorite restaurant in Minneapolis! I am blown away consistently by their food/flavors & I always savor every bite. My go-to’s are their daal, kwati, veggie momos, samosas, fried rice, chicken choyala, and chicken tikka masala. Truly divine!
I have been coming to The Himalayan for many years, since its original location on Franklin in the Seward neighborhood. Every time I come here I wonder why I would ever go anywhere else!? In my opinion, here you can get the best food in the Twin Cities consistently, every visit. The atmosphere is so cheerful, and the owner is always so kind and welcoming. It’s hands down my favorite restaurant, and I can’t say enough good things about this establishment!
This is one of my favorite restaurants. Great food and lots of vegetarian options. I never miss to order momos, garlic naan, and kataar aaloo made with jackfruit. Portions are good too! The owner of this restaurant is very friendly and always stops by to ask if everything was good. Definitely a great place to try Nepalese cuisine.
Authentic food at its best! The food and service here is amazing and that is through experience and someone who grew up eating Nepalese food. The loved the service from the staff and the owner. Treated me and my friends so well. The environment is so welcoming and unique too. Highly recommended. Hands down!!
Easy to get to and much parking space. Service was quick and friendly from greetings through the entire visit. We found the food tasty and satisfactory but not fresh looking. The sauces served with momos were weak. The menu is extensive, though, and definitely warrents more exploration!
This has been my favorite restaurant for as long as I’ve lived in Minneapolis! I highly recommend it!!! THE FOOD IS SO GOOD!!!!
Absolutely delicious! My first visit, too bad i live out of state or i WOULD be back. Everything was so good, I asked for mild plus and the food wasn't spicy, just really good. HIGHLY recommend the Creamy Kathmandu Curry! Decadent. So much food for a very reasonable price.
Went here with 3 friends, and we all shared meals - everything was delectable!! The momos were a real highlight, and you can even get a frozen bag of them with delicious dipping sauce to take home! Large menu and for us, not a single flip on there.
The food was so delicious!! Lots of vegetarian options. The paneer chilli was my favorite! Would highly recommend.
