Himalayan Kitchen - Salt Lake City

This is our go-to for out of town visitors. Start with the bison mommos and garlic naan then order a good variety. Helpful to have a Rez so they’re ready for groups.

This was my first time at this restaurant. I am from Delaware.The service was GREAT. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smile. The food was ok. I eat Indian food often and Ive had chicken saag a few times. I ordered Chicken Saag from this restaurant and it was wayyyy more spinach than chicken. I had three pieces of chicken the rest was spinach/saag. I wouldve appreciated more chicken and less saag. The chicken pickora was good.

Himalayan Kitchen at Salt Lake City has authentic Nepali cuisine. Soup momo and Chicken Chowmin was best while some improvement could be done on chilli momos. Service was great and waitress regularly checked if we were okay and also on request they promptly served hot water. Ambience was full of Nepalese vibes. Recommended if you want to try Nepalese cuisine.

I have mixed feelings about this establishment. The food is fantastic. If you 're wanting some tasty curries with some great vegetarian options, then this is a good choice. The atmosphere is so so. I have eaten here a few times over the last couple years, and always found the atmosphere to be a 5 out of 5. Sadly, this element has taken a bit of hit since then. While the interior design, lighting, and music is lovely as always, unfortunately, a nightclub has moved into the space above the restaurant. If you dine in the evening, loud, music pulses through the ceiling, causing the overhead lights to flicker, clashing with the romantic music playing inside the restaurant itself. And finally, I should mention the service. Oh boy. To be fair, the service has never been amazing in my experience, but I do feel that every time I 've gone, the service has been a little less satisfactory. To illustrate this, let me describe our last visit, 2 evenings ago on our wedding anniversary. The staff weren 't mean or grumpy, but they were neglectful and disinterested in serving us. Our order was taken quickly by our friendly server, but after our food was brought to us, we never saw them again. Our water glasses were never refilled, and they never even checked to see how the food was, etc. When we asked for the check, our server half heartedly asked if we wanted more water. I was thinking, I don 't need more water NOW we 're done eating and are gathering our things to go. ‍ To make things worse, our server brought us an incorrect item. I pointed this out to her, and rather than saying Whoops, my mistake let me bring you the correct item, she proceeded to gaslight me and say that I ordered incorrectly. I 've ordered from this type of restaurant many times I know the difference between Aloo and Paneer. Regardless, had I ordered the wrong item (which I most certainly did not it would have been little to no trouble for her to bring the item I wanted. Lastly, I should mention that the portions of rice are extremely small. Each entre is to receive one serving of rice. Apparently, one serving of rice is half of the smallest bowl they have in the restaurant. To receive more rice, one most order a separate side. Why the penny pinching on rice? It 's literally one of the most inexpensive food items ever. So, in summation, I would lightly recommend going here. Lower your expectations on the food and evening ambiance, and you might have a great time. I highly recommend the Chilli dishes (they are found in Himalayan Specialities portion of the menu. I always get mine with Paneer, which is a homemade cubed cheese, and it never dissapoints! Consider audio recording yourself when you order in case the staff tries to tell you that you ordered something different. It 's sad that I must recommend that sort of thing, but clearly the staff has not been trained well on proper restaurant customer service.

Such a awesome place for the authentic Nepalese food and the great atmosphere. I really love the food over here.
