Himalayan Kitchen is tucked away in a bit of a shady area, right next to a bar and on the corner of a dark alleyway. Surprisingly if you get past all of that, the place was great. The decor and ambiance felt minimal but welcoming. Much of what you might expect from a mom pop restaurant. What was really the seller was the food. It was exactly what I was hoping to get out of those Nepal/India area flavors. I wouldn't have known it was there if not for the amazing aroma it created in the street. The service staff seemed minimal but friendly and what was standard experience of assistance and service. I would recommend to anyone visiting the area for some quick but delicious naan bread and curry.
Stopped into SLC to grab dinner to-go on our road trip. So glad we stopped here. The food was amazing. We ordered 3 dishes and Nan bread. I apparently forgot to finish this review but it's been 2 years and I still think about this restaurant so that's a good sign. Would absolutely eat here again.
After a week eating fairly bland food, Imwe were yearning for some tasty spicy Indian food and we definitely found it here at The Himalayan Kitchen. Located downtown Salt Lake City and very close to our hotel we ambled fish there with great anticipation. We were not disappointed. The dishes were perfect. We had some tasty pakoras to start with a nice cold Himalayan beer and the had Chicken Curry and Butter Chicken. Both dishes were so flavorful with just the right amount of spices. Our taste buds were restored. The staff were efficient knowledgeable and very helpful. The restaurant exudes Indian Himalayan flair especially with many local people eating there also. Always a great sign to see the diversity of customers. So glad we found this spot.
I love love love the methi curry, with lamb. It is curry made with fenugreek leaves. I wasn't expecting to be able to find this dish in SLC but I got lucky and so impressed! I also ordered dal chicken from the Himalayan section. It was ok. Not spectacular like methi curry which I will definitely order again. Note that seating is comfortable but the service is a bit slow.
Himalayan Kitchen is my go to Indian/Nepali restaurant. So many vegetarian options for my spouse and I can enjoy all the meaty goodness. We ordered the onion bhaji for appetizer and dal aloo ko soup. For the main dish, the wifey had the aloo bhindi and I had the goat curry as well has the Kathmandu tandoori. The goat curry was delicious, so tender. I have had tough goat at places but never here. I like the prawn best in the tandoori so probably will order that by itself next time. The aloo bhindi was tasty as usual. The only fail was the soup which did not have any lentils like the description. Would totally give it a 4.5 but this place is better than 4 star so decided to give it a boost. They also won Best Momo and Best Biryani on City Weekly for 2023. Highly recommend.
Very good food with great service. The place has a lot of Indian and Nepalese decor, which enriches the dining experience. I ordered the huge sampler platter, which was delicious. I will definitely return here in the future.
