Himalayan Kitchen

Absolutely enjoyed the buffet lunch, delicious non veg starters especially tandoori chicken which was so juicy, tasty. Biryani was so yummy and all sweets were just mouth watering. Must enjoy.

Absolutely loved the food here. The momos and chowmein were perfectly spiced and flavorful--just the right street-style Indo-Chinese taste I was craving. Even the biryanis and chicken curry were impressive, with rich flavors and great portion sizes. A great spot if you're craving both Indian and Indo-Chinese dishes done right. Been visiting since 10 Years! P.S: some construction work going on inside the dining area.

8/7/24 Himalayan Kitchen 820 E El Camino Real Ste C Mountain View, CA 94040 We tried this for lunch on a Wednesday. It's in a setback strip mall so there's lots of parking in front. They offer a lunch buffet and I asked if they had Naan which was brought to our table after we filled our plates. The interior is a cozy table setup and was fairly full while we were there. The buffet choices had many standard offerings like Tandoori Chicken and they had my favorite, Goat Curry. The bone in goat was very meaty and the gravy was not very spicy. Overall the flavor of the food was on the mild but tasty side. Service was helpful and good. I paid with cash at the counter and got a discount. It's a good value and repeatable.

Had the butter chicken and garlic naan. Garlic naan 5/5 - pretty close to perfect. Great texture with crispy edges and soft inside. Well dressed with garlic and ghee. Butter chicken 4/5 - not the best I've had or even close because as it was lacking depth of flavor. Everything else about it was actually excellent, however. Had the perfect thickness, creaminess, and consistency. I asked for spicy and they made it properly hot, which meshed nicely with the lightly sweet top notes. It came out piping hot and fresh. And the chicken inside was plentiful and shockingly and delightfully tender. Though, the chicken didn't seem to carry much if any char flavor or marinade, the meat by itself tasted way better than average despite this, like very high quality chicken. I feel like it nailed everyt

Update: The restaurant needs to be more clean and be more hygienic. The next time I went, there were tissues on the floor and the server got the plates which were a little dirty. Review2: I ordered the Vijayawada Chicken Biryani for take-out, and it was delicious with a generous portion—enough to easily serve two people. The Veg Chowmein had thin noodles and a mild, simple flavor, though I was disappointed to find they don’t offer Shezwan sauce, so don’t expect any spice. I also tried the Madras Masala Dosa, which was tasty, and the Gobi 65, though it was just okay. Keep in mind that they are only open until 10 PM and only take orders until 9.30 PM. I’m not sure why the open time on Google shows until 12 AM.
