Himalaya Restaurant Ventura

"Honestly the food was ok, but maybe it was just what I got. I would give it another shot, but I would definitely order something else. The price was ok. The atmosphere of the shop was perfect. I would say the best part was the service. Also, this place is not halal certified, and they do not clame to be. Not sure why Google is advertising them as such."

"Super speedy and personable service. Even though the restaurant was very full, we ordered and had our food to the table in under 20 min. Staff checked in multiple times and inquired about our travels and how we found out about their restaurant. But didn’t hover too much either! From one vegan to another, a VERY easy place to find delicious food (and not too oily either)! We particular loved the tofu saag! We’ll definitely be coming back and recommending the place to friends anytime anyone is in Ventura!"

"The food here was amazing. They have the best momo that I've ever tasted and the sauce pairs perfectly. My husband and I are always on the hunt for a good momo, we will make sure to stop in ever time we are in the area. The staff was very friendly and gave us a free dessert after we had a lovely conversation about the food. We also had a lamb curry, the meat was perfectly cooked. So not hesitate to give this restaurant a try."

"Very impressed by this place and look forward to going back. Suggestion for the owners: it’s ok to back off on upselling appetizers; when you push more than what’s adequate, it shows and it’s not a good look. And, when a child orders a meal that you have both on the kid’s section and entrée section, at least clarify before bringing out the adult portion for a 9 year old, then telling the kid they don’t get the ice cream because they ordered the adult portion… c’mon now. All that said, excellent food, nice atmosphere, welcoming and attentive people, and generous portions. Prices are up there but seemed acceptable for the quality of this Nepalese-leaning food. The yak pasta (only item containing yak on the menu) is $20 but worth trying at least once. The cauliflower dish and tikka masala chicken are both excellent. Samosa’s are solid, dumplings are take or leave, and the naan is good. Mango ice cream is something else!"

"Tonight was my first time here. Lots of available seating inside and outside. Promptly greeted by a friendly staff and seated. Immediately brought out some water and menus. Overall for my first time here i enjoyed myself and plan to return to try other menu items. Some of the Prices to me seem a bit high for the portions of food received on certain Items. Tonight I got the butter chicken in medium heat. It could of used some more flavor and it wasn’t hot at all. I definitely did fill up thankfully to the seemingly bottomless white rice that is served along with your food. The stuffed naan bread was great. The samosas were very large and seem to be a favorite for most everyone. The food here seems to favor the region of Nepal. So if that interest you and you’re ready to spend a bit more for the authentic restaurant vibes then this is a must stop for you. As I said before I look forward to returning and trying more items on the menu."
