Himalayan Delights is a cozy gem offering authentic Himalayan cuisine with a variety of options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Their momos, chicken tikka masala, and butter chicken are rich in flavor, while vegetarians will love the wide selection, including dishes like vegetable curry, paneer tikka masala, and hearty lentil soup. The freshly baked naan and perfectly spiced rice dishes make the experience even better.Service is friendly and attentive, with staff eager to recommend dishes. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the coastal location adds to the relaxed vibe. A perfect spot for a flavorful meal that caters to all dietary preferences.

Himalayan Delights is a quaint restaurant located in Costa Mesa. I was excited to come here after seeing that they had momos. Nepalis specialize in momos, which are dumplings.We showed up at lunch time on Saturday and found the restaurant completely empty. We were the only customers. Slight red flag, but that could be because it's winter in a beach town. When we first ordered, they had a small cup of daal as a complimentary appetizer. This is a great touch to the experience.We ordered Steamed Chicken Momos, Chilli Chicken, and Egg Fried Rice. First the Chilli Chicken came out with a small side of white rice. The Chilli Chicken was fried slices of chicken breasts in spicey masala. If you are thinkng of Inidan Chilli Chicken, this is very different. The chicken isnt breaded when it's fried, and the masala is different. It's not bad. they heap the chicken on the plate. The only thing is the chocken tasted old. Other than that, it was ok. I guess this is what Nepali Chilli Chicken is like.Next came the egg friend rice. It's fried rice with a lot of masala with an omlette cut up on top. The omlette was fried to perfection. It's mainly rice with not much vegiies. Again, I guess this is what Nepali fried rice is.Last came the momos. It was a bit too hard. The momo wrapper was a bit thicker than I would have thought. Also they should have come out with the momos first. The order of service is important.If you don't have a passport and have never left the US, you'll love this place.

This was our second time dining at Himalayan Delights, and once again, we had an amazing meal. My husband and I went for dinner and left just as impressed as the first time.We ordered the chicken tikka masala, vegetable korma, and garlic naan. Each dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Going to slowly make our way up the spice levels but so far level 3 is tolerable!Unlike our first visit, no soup was served with the meal this time, so it seems that might be a lunch special only.The restaurant was generally busy but the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and food came out faster than last time. We're so happy to have such a great Indian restaurant nearby. Himalayan Delights is quickly becoming a favorite, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!

Chicken tandoori comes with a side of rice and veggie. A big portion for 1 dish. The flavor is different vs traditional chicken tandoori that I've had but still good non the less. Of course it paired well with a side of rice.

Hidden gem. Came in on a Saturday for dinner. There was nobody there which, after tasting the food, is incredibly surprising. The restaurant is clean, service is friendly, and the flavors were amazing with great portions.

This place is truly authentic and definitely worth visiting for a delicious meal. We ordered the veggie momos, garlic naan, palak paneer and the chicken tikka masala. The food is so flavorful and consistently good. We've ordered from this restaurant on a number of occasions and they've maintained the quality that they've had from the beginning.We enjoy their momos because even though the filling is veggie, it is packed with flavor and does not taste like your typical dumpling. The palak paneer and chicken tikka masala are also much better than your typical restaurant that offers these dishes because the spices they use add more flavor to the curry. It can get spicy so I usually pick level 4 (out of 10), but you can get a side of hot sauce if you want it spicier.I highly recommend anyone who wants an authentic Himalayan food experience to come to this restaurant.

It was a quiet Friday night when I stopped in around 8pm on my way home. Fortunately, it meant getting my takeout order pretty quickly. I tried their butter chicken (spicy 4-mild( and the garlic naan. As well as an order of their samosas (2 to an order). Everything is delicious! One of the best samosas I've e joyed. So much flavor. The butter chicken had a rich creaminess, but did not feel too rich. I enjoyed it with the rice. Generous serving sizes so I enjoyed it for a few meals. I also received their complimentary rice pudding. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Definitely will be back to try more from their menu.

I ordered in for the first time. I ordered level 5 spicy - and it's so mild and actually sweet! I don't understand why this is sweet tasting when I ordered spicy level 5! Rice is dry, chicken is dry! Not ordering from here again.
