First time here, had a party of 12. The food was delicious and the service amazing. Didn’t know how small the place was so it was difficult finding space. The employees were very kind and accommodating. Amazing place, would definitely recommend the place. The only issue I faced was the small size of the place.

I ordered for delivery from HK and was disappointed after reading many favorable reviews.First, the delivery fees/convenience fee/taxes were all astronomical even when ordering directly from the website.Most importantly, the food was subpar. Some reviews said the tikka masala was the richest in flavor they’ve ever tasted - to me, it tasted like tomato sauce with too much sugar. Both the palak and the biryani lacked herbs and spices, palak just tasted like creamed spinach, and the naan was more of a pita bread than naan.Perhaps people’s dine in experience was different than my delivery, or perhaps I didn’t order the best dishes, but I won’t be ordering from here again - sticking to Masala on the Sq.

This is a little hidden gem in union square. The food is absolutely delicious, and the service was incredible. HIGHLY recommend the chicken madras. The owner was really friendly too, and checked in to see how we were doing! Looking forward to coming back sometime.

This is hands down the best chicken tikka I’ve ever had in my ENTIRE life. Lived up to the flavor the articles I found said. I’ll never order it anywhere else. Can’t speak to other stuff. The naan and tikka and second to none.

The worst biriyani I’ve ever had. It was like rice cook with few chicken pieces and paprika, nothing else.

Terrible food and untrained staff. The samosas I got were cold at the core, which means they can’t even microwave a staple Indian appetizer properly. The food I ordered was terrible in taste. Everything I ordered was finger food and yet they gave me one piece of napkin laid on a thin plastic plate. It was absolutely cheap. You can be cheap, but you gotta have good food to overcome it.The manager-esque person was heavily catering most of his time to a bigger table and the rest of the staff was squandering around not knowing what to do. It was clear they weren’t trained well because I saw one person scratching her bum walking from one table to another.I seriously wonder how this place has such a high rating. Don’t waste your money here.

Himalayan Kitchen was an absolute gem of a find! Every dish we tried was bursting with delicious flavors. While the lack of weekend reservations and the small dining space might mean a bit of a wait, trust me, it's all worth it once you taste the amazing food! I highly recommend trying the spicy momos or anything with their grilled chicken – simply divine!

I have almost visited every Indian, Nepali restaurant in and around Boston. Today I ordered a goat biryani and clearly they don’t know how to make a biryani. This was the worst biryani I ever had till now. There was a very overpowering taste and smell of turmeric, didn’t taste anything other than the turmeric. Had to throw away the biryani and snack for tonight. Hope I would get a refund for that. Horrible taste. Not even close to a biryani. Biryani had bell peppers and green pees in it. Who puts such things in a GOAT BIRYANI. Horrible dish. Please don’t order this dish here. A truly disheartening experience.Please watch this: https://youtu.be/0sAT8Gvm0Cs?si=1QikNx3NQ2OSU8NC

We tried their Nepali dishes on the menu1. Chicken momo spicy - delicious, not too spicy and the sauce was extremely flavorful2. Chow mein chicken - good balance of chicken and vegetables, the noodles were the perfect texture3. Choylla - first time having a dish like this it's cold chicken with the spiciest sauce heavy in red chillies and onions. It was soooo good, definitely getting it every time I am back. Avoid if you cannot handle spice.4. Bhuton - the smokey flavor sets this dish apart, incredibly flavorful. The organ meat was a bit chewy but other than that delicious.We will be back. The place is tiny but they manage the flow of people well. Highly recommend trying the Nepali dishes they are so unique!
