★★★★★ 5.0 Tanaya datta · Oct 2025

Loved the food, nice ambience, our waitresses were extremely helpful. We reached at the last moment before they were closing, however, they were very accommodating. Thank you for your service.

Ohhhh wow. What a great dinner we had! My only regret is not coming here sooner!! Hubs and I split an appetizer, the Chili Chicken Momo and an entree of Chicken Kadai. The Chicken Momo was amazing. The sauce was so flavorful. Loved the fresh vegetables and garnish. Amazing stuff. We split the entree of Chicken Kadai. The spices were on point. It was spicy without overwhelming the dish. The chicken was tender, not overcooked, not tough or chewy. It was delicious. Enjoyed the nice chunks of vegetables, too. The garlic naan was on point. The two of us split the appetizer, split the entree and naan and we were both PLENTY full. Portions were generous. Service was wonderful, prompt, friendly. Lovely dining room. Everything was clean. Seriously, I am so sad it took us so long to dine here

This was our first meal there. I do not recommend the bone in goat meat dish. I won't have it again. There's far too much bone, limited meat, and too much gristle and fat. The sauce it came with, however, was SPECTACULAR. That said, my wife had the cubed lamb in cashew sauce, and it was EXCELLENT. The calamari appetizer was really good, and I'm not a fan of calamari. This was very tender.

I recently visited Himalayan Chimney, and it was truly a delightful experience! The ambiance was warm, cozy, and beautifully decorated, giving a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. The staff were incredibly polite, attentive, and made sure we felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. The food was the real highlight fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared. Every dish had the perfect balance of spices, and you could genuinely taste the quality. The presentation was excellent, and the portion sizes were satisfying. Whether you’re a fan of Indian, Nepalese, or fusion flavors, this place has something amazing to offer. Overall, Himalayan Chimney is a must-visit restaurant for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back and r

★★★★★ 5.0 Ashley Himes · Jan 2026

I've eaten here many times and have always had a great experience. The food is delicious and filling, the atmosphere is very nice and clean, and the service is friendly. I don't like a lot of spice so the chicken (or vegetable) korma is perfect but I have enjoyed other dishes as well, though most are somewhat spicy. The naan is very good too.
