Himalayan Tandoori and Curry House 969 Gravenstein Highway South, Sebastopol, CA 95472

"One of our favorite restaurants in Sebastopol. Consistently tasty food. The daal (lentil soup, complimentary when eating in) is so smooth and savory, even a friend who dislikes lentils enjoyed it; it is also vegan and gluten free. We are hooked on the chicken tikka masala, chana masala (chickpeas), and all the dishes with paneer. You can choose how mild or spicy you want the entrees. You can see the spice pods in the sauces which add to the chickapow flavors. All of the naan is great; the cilantro one was surprising and the butter naan is our favorite. They offer both brown and white rice. The owner and family are so welcoming while also being quick and never intrusive. It's nice to have a sit down place without picnic benches, although it's also not fancy. Right outside is a vibrant, diverse garden (try to guess what is growing on the tree!). We have also had pick up orders that were no different in quality. I pretty much never write reviews, but I want others to try this place so that it never closes."

"what a perfect meal for a colder/rainy day. ordered the lunch special: Goat curry, comes with rice and lentil soup. we had the choice of mild and spicy. We opt for spicy, but it was still pretty mild. Turns out we should asked for Nepalese spicy if I want some serious heat! Thank you for the suggestion Ruth! The garlic naan, soooo fluffy. They are perfectly delicious on its own but definitely a game changer to pair it with the curry! Had the Lamb Tandoori, just like other dishes, chef's kiss. It was tender and full of flavor. yummmm. there are other drinks on the menu, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. but i think mango lassi is THE drink to get! you wont regret it. I didn't even i am lactose intolerant. service was great! And we are coming back for sure."

"Yummy dishes, a focus on healthy food, and warm service. They use good cooking oils too, which shows awareness to what really constitutes healthy food. Followed up a few years later: still amazing flavours, friendly service, and full range of menu options."
