Himalaya Kosheli has become our favorite spot for Indian and Nepalese takeout! We've ordered from them multiple times, and every meal has been outstanding. Their Chicken Chili Momos, Chicken Jhol Momos, and Khane Ke Chicken Momos are absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and satisfying.The portions are generous, ensuring great value for the price, and the food is always packed thoughtfully. The momos are carefully wrapped, so they never arrive soggy, which makes the takeout experience just as enjoyable as dining in.The consistent quality and delicious flavors keep us coming back for more. If you're craving authentic Indian and Nepalese dishes, Himalaya Kosheli is a must-try. We'll continue ordering from them and highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing food with great service!

Superb samosa filled with fluffy potato, peas and spices. This restaurant may be tucked out of the way at the Williamson county line, but they make truly outstanding food. If you like Indian food, you should try Himalayan!Each of the curries and momo's I've tried has been bursting with delicious flavors, and spiced perfectly. The rice is fluffy and fragrant. The homemade breads are dreamy. The staff is gracious and hospitable, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming. You won't be disappointed!

Weekend buffet was really good! There was an assortment of Nepalese and North Indian dishes, all of which were quite tasty. My favorite was the chow mein and chilli veg momos. Definitely one of the higher quality buffets that I have had in Austin.Staff are very friendly and pleasant :)

Walking into the restaurant really surprised me with how nicely lit and spaced out it was! We got seated in one of the booths and the seats were fairly comfortable. The samosa filling isn't too strongly seasoned and it had a very nice crunch when I bit into it. It felt a little oily but given that it's a deep fried dish it didn't take me by surprise. As someone who isn't too familiar with Indian or Nepali herbs, I really enjoyed the filling but if you're someone who enjoys more well seasoned samosas, it may not be up to your standards. The chicken tikka masala was great and the chicken didn't feel too dry and was nicely marinated. We ordered garlic naan to finish scooping up all the sauce cause it was so good!! Even on its own the naan had a strong garlic and buttery taste which I really enjoyed. The mango lassi was a bit of a miss because even though they used fresh mangos it had a slight sour aftertaste after each sip. Overall really enjoyed my experience here. Would love to come here during their lunch buffet to try out more dishes in smaller portions.

We've taken to go from here a few times and really like how they package everything so well to ensure no spillage! I am not super familiar with Himalayan/Nepalese food but glad Austin has this establishment to try a different cuisine. From what I can gather, everything is very flavorful and a bit spicy, despite trying to make dishes not spicy so just a heads up.Kothey Mo:Mo-I've had this once before and it was more circular in shape like a bao zhi and these reminded me more of a dumpling, but the taste was definitely different than a dumpling. It came with a herby tasting sauce/dressing on the side.Samosa-2 to an order, well fried, generously filled and comes with two sauces the brown one was sweet/tangy and the green fairly neutral and light.Gobi Manchurain-I really liked how these cauliflower tasted, pretty spicy but I couldn't stop myself from eating as I enjoyed the sweetness and the heat.Chowmein-A generous amount of noodles with your choice of chicken or vegetable included in the $11 or add shrimp or paneer for $1. The chicken was a bit dry to me but luckily I am a carb lover. The flavor is very different from Chinese versions as this one has a kick to it.Himalaya Goat Curry-Honestly, this was my least favorite of all the dishes as the flavor was just intense and spicy and way too difficult to eat and just overall unpleasant. It seems as if all we got were huge pieces of ribs/bones with very little meat and just sharp little pieces of bone. Most of the meat was really tough to eat but sometimes you would be surprised with a pretty tender piece. Tikka Masala with Lamb-This dish was a winner, and unlike the goat the flavor was spot on, some heat, sweetness and savory. The pieces of lamb were really tender and just a really enjoyable dish to eat, especially with the naan.Garlic Naan-I liked how you get two pieces, and enjoy the garlic flavor but think if they added even more garlic/butter it would be the cherry on top!Overall we enjoyed the food here and would def come back for everything we ordered sans the goat!

I'd been meaning to check out Himalaya Kosheli for a while, and I'm glad I finally got to it! We ordered the chili momos, goat curry, and pasanda with chicken. The chili momos were excellent--lots of spice, good filling. The goat curry was delicious, but the pasanda was probably my favorite. I've never had anything quite like it. The sauce was incredibly creamy because of the mix of pistachios and cashews. I would have loved a tiny bit of spice, but the chicken was tender and well cooked, and the dish just had tons of flavor. Service was friendly, and it looks like the restaurant might serve buffets on the weekend. I'd love to do that to check out more of their menu in future.

This place takes chicken noodle soup to a whole new level. Chicken Thukpa soup is my new favorite comfort food. Spicy flavor-layered broth filled with chicken, perfectly cooked noodles, and herbs and vegetables. The broth is kinda sour and umami and salty and certainly spicy (but not too spicy). Did I say spicy? Also very temperature hot. Yummy! The veggie momo came with a spicy sauce and a calm sauce, both flavorful. The stuffing tasted like many minced cooked vegetables mixed together. Very nice but I did like the soup better. I might try the chicken momo next time.Overall I would return. The service was helpful and polite, the food was cooked fresh to order, and it was great to try something new. The place is clean and in good condition. Very tidy. If you enjoy Indian food you'll love this Himalayan variant.

Recently ordered takeout from Himalaya Kosheli as our go to Nepalese spot was closed. Ordered a bunch of items - both Indian and Nepalese - and would say that the Nepalese food is significantly better than the Indian food.Chicken momos - 10/10. So good, and not at all oily which I've noticed is the case at some other momo spots in town.Shrimp chow mein - flavorful with a good kick but not too spicy. Generous ratio of shrimp to vegetables. Veggies also had a nice crunch to them.Chili Chicken - average. nothing to write home about. Paired well with the chow mein.Malai Kofta & Goat Biryani were both below average. I would not recommend either.

I like the atmosphere. There are booths and tables each with fake flowers to give the space a colorful look. The chili momo was delicious. Not too spicy and the sauce was sweet. The goat curry was good but I'm unsure of the appearance of adding two peas to the rice. It was cute though! They give bottled water instead of water in cups. The servers seem friendly but the waitress didn't seem to understand English well. She kept asking me if I was Japanese. I told her repeatedly I was Chinese. All I wanted was a to-go box for the food. Luckily, another server understood and I was able to get the to-go boxes. I also got the he Mango Lassi, which I also got a to-go cup for. This was very delicious and creamy. This is a must!
