I had been a long time regular here under the previous ownership. Admittedly I hadn't been back in years. Mostly the pandemic took me away from here and I just hadn't returned. Plus hearing some people say the food had become inconsistent made me hesitate. But reading up on it today and learning about the new owner, it was time to see if they could win me back. They have. Compared to what I used to get here on the buffet, the tandoori chicken now seems to have more flavor. More of it is definitely hotter spice, but I did notice a fruity tang as well. I'm not complaining. I used to eat the tandoori chicken here regularly and I consider this upgraded. The vegetable pakora stood out. That dish definitely improved. It had a great crispiness and robust seasoning without being too overpowering. That got a second helping. I used to eat the pakora here all the time and I'd pick this over what I used to get. The paneer makhani tasted more like a korma sauce to me. It was more cream-based than tomato. I'm good with that because I love korma. You may judge accordingly. The chicken tikka masala was a little more basic to me. But it's a basic dish in general. Nothing really wrong with it, but it wouldn't be memorable to experienced Indian food lovers. The mango lassi used to be a little thin and more sweet than fruity. Now it's thicker and more of a mango taste. Upgrade. I also used to love the kheer here. Somehow I think I love it more now. Another upgrade. My taste for Indian has evolved over the years. I've just eaten it a lot and I've tried a lot more local places. There are places that are serving more authentic food out there. This is still slightly tailored to more novice eaters I believe. It always was in my mind. But that's not a bad thing. They're back in my Indian rotation.

The buffet at Himalayan was very pleasantly surprising. It took me back to childhood memories of classic Indian buffets with beautiful decor and music. Their options included many vegetarian choices that were reminiscent of recipes from my South Indian roots; string beans and potato, sautéed cabbage, spiced pan-fried cauliflower, Yum! The multiple chicken dishes were also very good especially the Chicken 65. In addition to basmati, I was overjoyed to find both naan and idili! To top it off there was a plethora of chutneys, pickles, and sauces to add to the already delicious food. The young man who hosted and waited on me was very friendly and provided excellent customer service. I definitely foresee myself going again especially as I heard that they hold special events in the community and at their location. Great work Himalayan, keep it up!

Nice Indian buffet in the area! I believe it's $15.99 Tuesdays-Thursdays and then $17.99 the other days. It is definitely fairly priced for what you're getting/what the buffet has to offer. There is hot food along with a cold bar of fruits and salad. The service was nice and fast. The inside was clean and they had nice ambient music playing.

What a great surprise this place was. Stumbled upon it when going to the pinball game room and put it on my list to go back to and I'm sure glad I did. The food is so good! Perfect spice, perfect flavor and perfect portion sizes. We had the appetizer sampler platter, chicken curry, chicken tikka masala and chicken biryani. The server first bought us a salad and a plate of pita. The salad was interesting, some veggies with what tasted like ranch dip in the center of the plate. The complimentary pita is so good. I've never been to an Indian restaurant that offers free pita. We were the only people in the restaurant surprised by that because I heard another family call the server over to let her know they hadn't ordered pita. We started with the Himalayan special appetizer. I enjoyed everything on it, but one thing that looked like battered and fried paneer. Not sure what it was, but just left that on the plate. Next we had the chicken curry, chicken tikka masala and the chicken biryani. The server asked what spice level and I was hesitant to say medium, because I've been at other restaurants that lessened the spice level and then it seemed like the flavor was just too bland. Not the case here. Not too spicy and still very flavorful. Oh yeah, we also had the garlic naan. So, so good! Their naan is light and delicate. Haven't had naan like that before or nearly as good. There was just one server, but she was attentive. Plus, it's a BYOB. We had enough food for left overs the next day and it all was just as good reheated. I'll be back again and again!

Been coming here for 7 years now. I don't believe I ever left a review. As an Indian, it is regular fare, but there are certain north indian food I never can make. But today was a surprise. There was live music on a Friday night! They apparently gave it every Friday night and Saturday noon.

I have no pictures of the food because I ate it too fast. This is the best place for indian food in the area; I recommend it to everyone I know. The staff is wonderful. I had a lovely conversation with Maya and Jay (might have spelled their names wrong) while I waited for my food. Cannot recommend this place enough.

The food here is delicious, but the service is terrible. Twice I have tried to place an order online, only to drive 30 minutes to get there and be told that they can't make my order. They claim there is no chef there, nor a manager on staff. Not sure who is preparing the buffet, but don't try to order takeout. They then tell me the the online ordering is through a 3rd party and I have to call them to get my money back. I'm told the refund will take 24-48 hours. They did not call me to tell me they couldn't fulfill the order, even though I provided my phone number, so I wasted an hour and have to wait to be reimbursed. I'm sad because I do love the food there, that's why I go out of my way to get it. But I can't keep patronizing a restaurant that doesn't take care of their customers better than this.
