    I have been here twice and recently met friends here for dinner. They loved it. We had a nice assortment of appetizers and the main entrees were excellent. Great flavors!

    I really like Himalayan Cafe, it's a nice spot in Old Town. My advice would be to get the dishes that are not Indian (momos, lamb roll, etc), that's where the food is especially good. Their curries are fine, but it's the Nepalese dishes that are the best.

    I ordered the lamb dish with all the normal sides. The lamb was good but the portion was smile. The sides were very bland. We ordered garlic bread but never received it. The service was okay, but it took a while to be acknowledged.

    I love eating here - especially when I am craving MoMos. Their meat (especially lamb) dishes have become less about meat and more about potatoes. I hope they reverse that trend. But their vegetarian dishes are great!

    The location was great and the parking is just around the corner. The food was great, my nephew plans on traveling to Tibet and it was a good experience for him. We were celebrating a birthday and enjoyed the service and food.

    Good flavors, good service, good prices. It's a simple little place, not a lot of ambience, but pleasant enough. If you like food of the region of India, Himalayans, etc., definitely worth trying.
