Himalayan Cafe - Indian & Nepalese Restaurant 202 Southwest 43rd Street, Renton, WA 98057

"The food was so bad. We ordered veg noodles - full of oil that was stinking. Veg Manchurian - the gravy was just ketchup. Momos - probably frozen Thumps soup - was just plain disappointing. The food did not even feel hygienic. Sad."

"very impressive food quality and service. even late at night it didn’t feel like the quality was less. service is super friendly and it stays busy until late. prices were very reasonable for how good it tasted."

"People, please be warned. Yesterday evening, I visited the restaurant to eat and get extras. As a truck driver, I don’t have time to prepare meals or visit different restaurants to get meals for my future trips. Thus, whenever I have the opportunity I try to get meals for at least the following two to three days as it’s a healthier option than the fast food chains on the road. Yesterday, I ordered Lamb biryani and chicken biryani; I didn’t have the time to check the food on the spot to make sure it was fresh or at least edible and left as I was in a hurry. This morning, when I was preparing for the trip, I noticed a foul smell coming from the mini fridge in the truck, and upon opening it, I saw the scent coming from the meals I ordered. Checking the meals, I noticed it was extremely rotten; the rice had become almost like a glue-like substance. The meat was rotting. I had to throw away several plates. Felt scammed. If you are ever visiting or ordering to go, please make sure you are checking the food on the spot; otherwise, they’ll hand leftovers from the previous day/week, and if you don’t notice you'll probably end up in the ER with food poisoning. I would recommend that you never visit this place."

"We stopped by here for dinner around 8 pm on a Sunday evening after a tiring IKEA trip. Off the bat, there were only 2 people in the service staff and the place just seemed a bit unclean. We were seated immediately and offered water in a jug that had some food stuck to it and crumbles of papadum in our menu. We ordered the vegetarian momos, kashmiri kofta and naan. The momos were very disappointing- being a Nepali place we were really excited to taste these but they had some yellow paste inside them and tasted doughy. Also doubt they were made fresh since they were quite lukewarm. The Kashmiri kofta was okay nothing to justify the price. Naan was nice and soft. While the service was friendly, it was hardly professional."

"We told both the waiters working that we had NEVER eaten Indian food before and asked for their recommendations. We ordered Tandoori Chicken, lamb briyani, and garlic naan. Half the chicken on the platter was completely undercooked. The briyani was brought to us at the hottest spice level without asking us our preference. They did ask for our spiciness level on the chicken however. Nothing on the menu for children. They did bring more chicken to replace the undercooked. The waiters were nice and kind but not accustomed to guiding newbies like us. The food took a very long time to come out. We left most of our food on the table, took none of it home, and spent $60. My wife added that the restroom needed attention as well. I noticed after the fact that other reviews mentioned the undercooked food too."
