Himalayan Cafe

First time we tried this restaurant in San Dimas. The food is Nepalese Indian food with Himalayan spices and it was very good. We enjoyed it and will definitely return. We ordered garlic naan, potato stuffed naan, Tikka masala, tandoori chicken, vindaloo, momo dumpling, pakora, and Tikka chicken (which was a little on the dry side). The restaurant also has a retail store where they sell singing bowls, bronze Hindu statutes, incense, bongs and pipes and Himalayan clothing. The retail store was fun and interesting.

I would've left a 5 star on "Food" if the lamb wasn't tough. My lamb curry was great tasting. Vegetable curry was fantastic. Friend's lamb Tiki Masala was also great, sans the tough lamb. Ided tea has a distinct bold flavor. We think it's turmeric, but the seever claimed it was cinnamon.

Had a Groupon deal from this place so we went there for an early dinner. Pretty decent Himalayan/Indian food. Had the lamb vindaloo, mixed grilled and Lamb Biryani. The vindaloo was good and a bit spicy. The mixed grilled is a bit dry and the biryani was a bit wet. All over it was decent. Our server was very tentative. The entire restaurant is decorated with Nepali native arts and statues.

Fantastic Nepalese spot. The veggie momos had the ideal wrapper-to-filling ratio and deep, savory flavor; I could have made a meal of them alone. Daal was comforting and delicious, chicken tikka masala came luxuriously creamy, and the eggplant-potato (Bhanta/Baingan Aloo) was my surprise favorite—rich, spiced, and addictive. Only miss: the raita skewed sweeter than my taste. Huge thanks to Sapana, whose attentive, kind service made the meal even better. Namaste!

Delightful experience at Himalayan Cafe! The curry was very bright and creamy. Mild is not spicy, so if you want spicy get at least medium. The samosa chatt was filling and potatoey yet very light. The garlic naan was tasty, but could have been more garlicky in my opinion. Affordable place! Nice date spot.
