Himalayan Heritage Restaurant DC

Made a reservation for my Dad’s Birthday! Our waitress knew who we were upon entering and gave a warm welcome. She was great the whole time. We ordered dumplings, chicken vindaloo, the bread basket and several other dishes. It was all great. I will say the vindaloo had a nice spice but there was no real heat. Still waiting to find it. Overall a great time. I forgot to take food pictures but will drop the nice booth we sat in. Odd bit was another waitress gave me a long glare a when I asked for a proper box for my food. She was resistant to giving me a box that would fit my food in. Maybe she was in a bad mood…. Idk. Just give me the box? Also, no music which might not be the norm. Might go back for take out.

Y’AALLLLL. LISTEN UP!!! We visited DC from MI for the first time and stayed in Adams Morgan. Real talk Himalayan Heritage is 500,000/10 good. We got the chicken vindaloo (spice level as it comes—the slightly more orange colored dish from the photo) and tikka masala chicken (hot—the more red colored dish), garlic naan, gobi Manchurian, gulab jamun (dessert balls), and my husband drank some sweet red wine. All were so delicious!! tbh we have good Indian food in Michigan but this was waaaaaaaaay better than MI Indian spots we know of. (We have never seen any Nepalese in Mi other than a good friend’s parents’ home cooking so we cannot comment on that part.) Our server, Moon, was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, a real gem. 💎💕🌙 She was patient, kind, happy to explain things, beautiful & professional, a

A wonderful spot for Nepali & Indian cuisine! The flavors are rich and authentic, the food is beautifully prepared, and every dish feels made with care. Warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere make it a place you’ll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommended!

Absolutely phenomenal. I got the Heritage Special Mo:Mo with Buffalo, which is not my favorite meat but I wanted to spice it up, and loved it. I put myself at average to a tad above average in spice tolerance and this was the perfect level. That is zero exaggeration, I have spent much of my time searching for the ideal level of spice, with many coming just too little or just too much, and this restaurant has found the exact perfect level. Food and drink came out within 20 minutes, though there was not much crowd, which was perfect as I was in a rush. Cannot recommend this place enough

I stopped in tonight with my wife just to get a to-go order to take home after meeting friends for drinks. While I was there, I learned that they just received a new small batch Nepalese whiskey, called Old Durbar, and it was spectacular. They were able to accommodate a tasting for several different Nepalese spirits that I've never had before. The food is great, the atmosphere is spectacular, and everyone is so friendly. I can't wait to go back again soon to buy a bottle of the Nepalese rum, Kukri!
