Himalayan Restaurant & Bar

Perfect example of, don't judge a book by its cover. The location is a little bit odd for a restaurant and the outside is barely noticeable as you're driving through Coos Bay, OR on 101. I've driven by multiple occasions thinking I should try that place. Today I did. I went in for dinner. They're open for lunch, then close and re-open for dinner at 4:30 (closed on Wednesday, all day). Nice, clean, well appointed atmosphere with soothing background music and ceiling fans. Great service. I ordered the lamb combination and was pleasantly surprised at the quantity as well as the unique and individual flavors of meal. The combo included a tasty little salad, a generous portion of brown rice and lamb, in a delightful sauce. Also included was a tasty bowl of rice pudding for dessert. All this for

Unexpected find, fantastic food. Charming interior, friendly service, great menu. If you like Indian food, this place has my recommendation. And if you're not acquainted, you really should try this place and ask your server for a recommendation. They definitely know flavor.

We'd been on the road for 3 or 4 days when we decided to eat here. My expectations weren't necessary high. Then I had the lamb Tikka marsala & wow, it was love at first taste. The lamb biriani was excellent. The naan is some of the best I've had. I left disappointed because it's almost an 8 hour drive from our house. If you're thinking you should stay away because ethnic cuisine in smallish towns can be pretty sketchy, then you'd miss out on some really great food. Just go & thank me later

I honestly wasn’t expecting much of this place. The restaurant was closing in 30 minutes. As expected, the waitress wanted our order in quickly and we had to remind them we needed our rice. Regardless, the staff was still courteous and nice. The food was excellent and very authentic! (I love Indian food!) We’re just driving through, but I’d eat here again!

Really enjoyed my meal at Himalayan Restaurant! I love that they use olive oil in some of their dishes—it makes everything taste fresh without feeling heavy. Big points for offering brown rice and using organic greens in their salad and organic coconut milk in some their curries. The veggie combo was super tasty, and it’s great to see so many vegan-friendly options. You can really tell they care about using quality ingredients. The coconut milk kheer was fantastic—creamy and flavorful. I also appreciated that the food wasn’t overly greasy or salty. And the chili chicken? Grilled, not deep-fried—so healthy for my non-vegetarian partner
