What People Are Saying About Himalayan Restaurant
Featured Review

The scent of sweet naan bread soaks the air at this Tibetan restaurant that even on the coldest of days, warms up thanks to a tandoori clay oven firing meat and chicken dishes. A friendly host greets diners at the door, setting an unpretentious tone to the casual scene. A painted mural above tall booths transports diners to the Himalayans, along with several photographs lining the walls. The dishes come at varying degrees of spice, also accommodating vegans. Beer, wine and a daily buffet round out the offerings. –
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- There's always free parking along Franklin and neighboring streets, but be aware they can get busy on weekends. It's best to plan ahead if meeting friends and arrive five to 10 minutes early.

Amazing Chicken Curry!
by ecwseo at Citysearch
This was my first time trying Indian food in the Twin Cities since moving back from LA, I must say its better than anything I had on the west coast! Everything tastes fresh and light. We had the Chicken Curry and Choyala,(marinated chicken in Tandoor and veggies) with pulau rice(rice with cashews and raisins), it was awesome. The prices are great and the atmosphere is cozy, not to mention the staff is super friendly!
- Pros: Great Prices, Great Food
- Cons: none

Delicious Nepalese Food
by epicurian at Citysearch
This is my favorite neighborhood restaurant. The food is great and the service is friendly. The garlic naan is a must. Everything on the menu is good, but the chicken tikka masala is the best I've had, anywhere. A chilled Saigon beer is the perfect complement.
- Pros: Great food, well prepared
- Cons: Doesn't stay open late. Arrive before 8:30 pm or call ahead.

What a delight to visit this restaurant. My friend and I went on a busy Friday night, but the customer service was stil excellent. The waiters came to check many times. Food was AMAZING! The atmosphere is very nice, it's a small, friendly, family owned restaurant with amazing food, nice atmosphere, fantastic service, beautiful decor.. There is even a small nepal gift shop in the store. LOVED IT! Definitely be back. Places like this make it worth it to go out to a restaurant even in these frugal times...
- Pros: Best curry, excellent food, service, atmoshphere, parking
- Cons: NONE
