Decided to try this place out since it is highly recommended, and it was well worth it. My wife and I arrived early for a reservation, our table was not ready yet, so we sat at the bar, and the skilled bartender offered us a complimentary glass of Prosecco for the wait. The service at this establishment is hands-down fantastic! The chicken Momos, and the chilli chicken is a must order for every time you go, we also had the lamb grill which was to die for. Also the Casava Cake and Rice pudding is delicious. The ambiance is cosy and romantic and I will definitely be back again!

The outside entrance is the surprise because it is not attention-getting and is in the corner of a strip mall.Inside, it is larger than I expected. Paintings of scenery of Himalayan landscapes are on the walls. The lighting is subdued. The decor invites a peaceful atmosphere.The food was very good and attractively served.Reservations are highly recommended because several times, we checked to make reservations on the same day it was booked at prime time.

Food tastes very good and the service is efficient. The atmosphere is calming and suitable for family and friends gatherings. They do take sometime to prepare the food but it's definitely worth it. We had to call 3 days in advance to book for Friday so I would definitely recommend booking beforehand. Overall, a good experience and I would definitely come back again.

A seriously underrated spot in Calgary! The Himalayan serves Nepalese cuisine which is deeply flavoured with Indian and Chinese influences.We love their momos - they’re little steamed pockets of dumplings just bursting with flavour. Pork is our favourite and I love the accompanying dipping sauce though the momos hold up very well on their own so no sauce is necessary.Our favourite entree is the Poleko Grill with the New Zealand Lamb. The lamb is so tender and roasted flavour is delicious.The garlic bread is really good and always worth upgrading to. Recently I tried their coconut bread - amazing! It’s got shredded coconut inside the bread but it’s not overly sweet. In fact the slight sweetness is a great vessel for their sauces and curries.You can choose your spice level and if you’re not sure what to order, they will absolutely walk you through the menu.The service is spectacular. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The staff greet you by name whether you’re coming or going. Literally reminds me of Cheers - sometimes you just want to go where everyone knows your name.

Never expected how great this restaurant. Since I've been here once, couldn't stop thinking the next visit lol Even my friend is not a huge fan of lamb, he really loved it with those grilled veggies it was just perfect ! Strongly recommend for curry beginners as well :)

Food was great here! we went on a Saturday and it was extremely busy. The host was also making drinks and managing a few other things so it took a while to get a seat. Definitely make reservations if you want to go on a weekend.We both got the dal bhat and some chicken momo to start. Everything was delicious, beautifully plated and the spice level was perfect for us at medium, quite a kick but not too much. BThe naan was so good.The chai was good but I wish they had two dessert options for the dal bhat because I really dislike rice pudding. The flavour was good but the texture is terrible

We visited here for dinner and loved it! The plate with curry and Dahl was great, and the oven baked(fries?) fish was great too.

Went for an early mother's day dinner. There were 7 of us. We ordered a bunch of food to share. Portions were too small, especially 40 dollars for the grilled lamb and 35 for the grilled paneer. Some folks had to split the lamb and cubes of paneer with each other so that the parents can have an actual cube, each. Dishes aren't really meant for sharing family style. For the price, not worth the order unless you're eating the dish yourself.Otherwise, flavors were really good, everyone was happy with the quality of food and service. The eggplant and jomsom chicken was really good.Price did not reflect the portion of food at such a highly rated place.
