Himalayan Restaurant

Popped in for lunch and enjoyed ourselves. Nice comfortable seating with nicely cushioned chairs. We got a little table by the window so we could people watch. Lovely little spot in the village. I started with a blood orange margarita which was very tasty and pretty to look at. Then I got the samosas which were very good. Came out nice and hot with a lot of filling crunchy and warm. We had to ask for the lunch menu specials. Then I got the lamb curry. That was very tasty as well! Very nice presentation. You get a little side salad, some cauliflower and potatoes, the lamb curry, and then the lentils and everything was very flavorful. Transports you back to India! Our server was a bit too attentive so we felt rushed, and he wasn’t very friendly & didn’t smile much but he got the job done. Pr

Located on the main street of The Vallage of Big Bear Lake, this restaurant primarily serves Indian and Nepalese cuisine. Personally, I thought their curry was quite good, although the portion was a bit small, but the accompanying rice was plentiful. As for the roast chicken and lamb, which I also tried, I found them just average; the meat was a bit too dry. The staff were polite and friendly, and the environment was fairly clean. If you're not looking for Western food, you might want to give it a try!

So much flavour! We started with the onion bhaji My daughter ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan I ordered baingan aloo and roti Fav: onion bhaji for my daughter, baingan aloo for me! But all VERY delicious 😍

We ordered the chicken momos (Nepali dumplings), veggie samosas, and a tandoori mixed grill and apricot naan (full of diced apricots)…everything delicious. Friendly service. Surprisingly good mixed drinks…their whiskey sour is made with the traditional egg white top, which I always like. Prices are typical of Indian/Himalayan sit down dining. No complaints. Will definitely visit again especially because it’s in Big Bear village, and you can’t beat eating delicious food in a beautiful mountain location!!

If chaos and disappointment are your idea of dining, this place is perfect. We waited over 40 minutes for a simple order, only to have everything appear within 3 minutes after we asked—clearly it had been sitting somewhere forgotten. The lamb curry was lukewarm and tasted old. We were told the chicken was “unavailable,” yet the table next to us—who arrived after us—somehow got the exact same dish. When our grilled chicken finally came, it arrived without the sauce. A truly impressive combination of slow service, cold food, and zero organization. Never coming back.
