“Very tasty food . Punjabi roti awesome“

“The service was good. Our waiter brought us food quickly. The garlic naan was exceptional. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is because they used the same exact tomato base for the Alu matar and Malai Kofta. The lemon rice was just plain yellow rice with a slice of lemon on the side! Not authentic lemon rice.“

“If you have never tried 'Namaste Indian & Nepalese Cuisine' in Honolulu - you should have no hesitation whatsoever about ordering from here - it's 12/10 delicious! I had it for the first time tonight - hands down one of the best meals I've ever had! Lamb Masala & the Rogan Josh lamb dish was phenomenal. Naan was freshly made. Meat was SO tender. You definitely can tell that the ingredients are high quality with health benefits & cooked with a lotta love. I regret not ordering more (especially the mango lassi mmm...) I honestly could eat from here everyday & not feel guilty. This is the type of food that will heal you from the inside out lol. Fresh - healthy REAL food - tons of amazing flavors - warms the soul! Just added to my Top 5 favorites on Oahu! Go order now!!“

“When I'm at UH, this is my favorite place to eat. It's hard to resist picking up some Indian lunch. Several vegetarian options and good service. It's food court Indian, yes, but it's a cut above. So glad this is here!

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options.“

“A Hidden Gem in Kaimuki – Clean, Friendly, and Delicious! I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Himalayan Kitchen in Kaimuki and can't wait to go back! First off, I was seriously impressed by how spotless the restaurant was — especially considering it's primarily an outdoor setup. The attention to cleanliness is unmatched. The owner personally came out and thoroughly wiped down each table with a cleaner that smelled fresh and inviting (none of that harsh chemical scent). It instantly made me feel welcomed and well cared for. Even the water glass — something I often dread at local spots due to lingering odors — was sparkling clean and crystal clear, with no unpleasant smell or taste. That alone made a huge impression on me. And believe it or not, even the ceiling of the outdoor lanai was clean. When’s the last time you noticed that? It’s rare and speaks volumes about the pride they take in their space. The food? Absolutely delicious. While I’m no expert on Himalayan or Indian cuisine, everything I tried was flavorful and comforting. I’m already planning my return trip so I can explore more of the menu and learn more about this rich culinary tradition. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, personally offering me a seat on the lanai and making sure I had everything I needed. It's that kind of hospitality that turns a meal into an experience. If you’re looking for a clean, friendly, and high-quality place to eat in Honolulu, Himalayan Kitchen should be at the top of your list. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Their food is absolutely ono! Excellent service; extremely friendly. All of their selections are quality & reasonably priced!😎🤙“

“Fantastic hole-in-the-wall Indian restaurant in the heart of Kailua town. This café style location has seating for smaller parties and offers crepe-like dosas. Served with a side of lentil soup, there is a selection of different dosas.

Food pictured is in a to-go container.“

“I think I’d lowkey boycott Pearl ridge if they boot this restaurant.

I used to work at this mall across from this plot, and Pearl ridge used to lease this plot to all kinds of different restaurants. I was never really interested in trying Lassons but my mother asked me to meet her here for lunch one time. That was all it took for me to constantly think about this place and their food. I kept coming back and kept coming back for more I still can’t stop coming back here. I had the pleasure of meeting who I think was the owner and let me tell you he’s the nicest most generous restaurant owner I’ve ever met!! Encouraged me to try other things on the menu I didn’t even THINK I’d like everything is hands down amazing, I’m not a pork eater but he asked me to “just try” the spicy pork and holy SHIT my eyes rolled to the back of my head it was so good!!!!! Definitely a hidden Gem and as long as Pearl ridge keeps leasing to them ima keep coming back 🤍🤍🤍🙏🏼“

“​Curry House CoCo Ichibanya delivers exactly what it promises: reliably delicious Japanese curry. The ability to customize the rice portion, spice level, and toppings (the katsu is a must-try!) makes every visit satisfying, and the food itself is consistently flavorful, hot, and well-prepared. If you're looking for quality Japanese curry, this place hits the spot.

​The one-star deduction, however, is purely for the dine-in experience. It was disappointing to see the majority of the dining area seemingly blocked off. This left the available seating feeling cramped and utilitarian, making the atmosphere awkward and far less comfortable than it should be. While the incredible food makes it worth a trip, be prepared for a less-than-ideal ambiance due to the limited space.“
