Cafe Bombay in Aberdeen City

Reservamos la cena un sábado por la noche, ya que nos alojamos cerca y otras opciones eran limitadas. MUY contento de que elegimos Himalaya. Los asientos y la decoración eran cómodos y de buen gusto, las instalaciones limpias, el personal absolutamente encantador y atento y la comida era una de las mejores comidas asiáticas que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo! Recomiendo encarecidamente para cenar - en o llevar a cabo y espero que podamos visitar de nuevo pronto. Teníamos el curry Methi y curry de ajo con chile que eran excelentes, pero nos sorprendió la momo dumplings y poppadum selección de dip que era claramente casero y delicioso. ¡No olvides regalarte una copa! Compartimos una hermosa botella de Malbec que tenía un precio justo y una mano auténtica - margarita estrechada. Gracias por una gran experiencia!

Este es un excelente restaurante nepalí / indio. La comida, el ambiente y el servicio eran todos de primera categoría. Estábamos en Peterculter para una semana de vacaciones, y después de cenar aquí una vez, nos alegramos mucho de que volvimos de nuevo para más de lo mismo. Lo recomendaría encarecidamente.

Esperó 90 minutos para la comida que se entrega. Cuando llamé no sabían dónde estaba mi comida. Volveré a pedirles.

La comida es excelente y el camarero era amable, servicial y amable. De hecho, este restaurante era tan bueno que fuimos dos veces durante nuestra estancia en la zona. ¡Deberían reservarse todas las noches! Gran experiencia, ojalá pudiéramos llevarlos a casa!

Éramos un paseo por el té. El restaurante estaba ocupado, pero el anfitrión nos acomodó después de 5 minutos. El ambiente y la comida era excelente. Tuvimos una comida muy agradable y botella de vino. El servicio fue excelente. No tendría ninguna duda en recomendar a otros

Came here for dinner using a itison voucher. Bit of confusion to start as the waiter claimed we had already redeemed it (which we knew we hadn’t) but he soon worked out the glitch and apologised. We ordered a few extras along with getting starters, mains, rice and naan via the voucher. Taste and texture of the food was fantastic! Good portions (we ended up taking some home) and the restaurant is very visually pleasing and comfortable. Will definitely be back again and recommend to friends.

Went last night to The Himalayas Peterculter - absolutely wonderful food! Rich choice of menu without being too overwhelming, everything tasted spectacular - one of the best Indian meals we’ve ever had! Service was great too

Excellent Asian food. Friendly and helpful service from the restaurant staff. Good ambience. Certainly recommend..

We had a lovely meal at the Himalayan. Spiced chai, tasty starters, delicious mains and excellent homemade desert. The staff were really welcoming, too.

After receiving a voucher for Xmas, we decided to pay Himalayas a visit, and it definitely won’t be long until we return. The service was fantastic and the food for all 3 courses was unbelievable. I’ve been to most curry places in the north east and this is right up there as one of the best.

Here on a very quiet Monday evening. The food was excellent with some interesting Nepalese dishes. We were given a free taste of a different starter which was absolutely delicious. The Mo Mo starter was very tasty as was the king prawn green curry. Full up after starter and mains (and share of extra starter) so no room for dessert but we were offered some complimentary mint tea which was very refreshing.

Dhrub, the manager, was very friendly and fun to chat with. Great meal! I am gluten free and dairy free, and they had tons of options. I’m on my way through town and stopped here. Glad I did!

What a great restaurant to have nearby. A friend and I had a superb meal and evening. Absolutely delicious food in a friendly atmosphere, it brought back fond memories of Nepal. We even tried a dessert - delicious. Thank you so much. A very reasonable price too!

Visited in May 2023 and was completed satisfied. We were greeted very warmly upon entering, and all our questions about the menu were very quickly answered, along with great recommendations. Our food was delicious and well prepared, and the presentation was excellent. We would eat there again and again and recommend this restaurant to anyone if they happen to be Peterculter.

We’ve been trying various Indian restaurants in and around Aberdeen recently with usually disappointing, over priced, results. Recent reviews of The Himalayas in Peterculter were good so we gave it a go. Easily the best curries in many years. Fantastic flavours, good quality ingredients, perfectly cooked. The two gents that run the place were really friendly and explained how they go about making their dishes. Great restaurant overall and very reasonably priced. This is the sort of place that deserves support so we will definitely go back.

We did get there quite late, but we still got served. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We did order main with starters and I have to admit it was one of the best Nepalese I ever had. And I've tried a lot :) everything was freshly prepared, full of taste, just amazing. Exactly what we needed after a long day.

The great Indian takeaway I’ve been looking for in Aberdeen. Great service and superb flavours. Top notch.

The service was impeccable, complimentary food by very friendly staff/ waiter, and a night to remember. Great food, the coconut rice was perfectly cooked, and Chicken Tandoori was tender and delicious! The chef even gave us a little rice pudding to top off the evening- free! I will be going back. Not many restaurants like this anymore sadly.

We had a lovely meal, one vegetarian, one chicken. All the food was nicely cooked and the garlic naan did not scrimp on the garlic. The chilli paneer to start was perfectly firey.

This was an exceptionally good meal. From the outset the service was both friendly and helpful. The food when it arrived was exceptionally tasty and well presented. There were a wide variety of dishes to choose, many of them Nepalese. The lamb was tender and succulent and the spices varied and interesting. The final bill was very reasonable. Much has been done to make the interior more appealing.

Friendly service in this cosy restaurant. Great food, perfectly cooked and seasoned. First visit and we will definitely be back. Thank you!

I went with some friends, we ordered starters & mains , food was good, but by 9.10 the kitchen staff were waiting on the seats in the main dining room, just waiting for the remaining customers to finish their meals, sitting patiently, telling us to finish our food and drink really quickly or we were being insensitive to the staff!!,,, awful experience

Good food, tender lamb great momos friendly owner. Nothing to complain about. Great little restaurant

Great food and lots of choice for all Great host Food was so tasty abs yummy Quiet being a Monday but so glad we gave it a try!!

A superb restaurant which serves delicious Nepalese/Indian food. We have ordered many times now and have always been happy with what has been served. The owner/manager is one of the friendliest people I have met and is always very accommodating and makes one feel welcome....

Lovely meal. Attentive friendly service. Covid safe environment, not over crowded. Kids loved the chicken tikka and momo starter. Lots of standard Indian and more authentic Nepalese options. Really useful menu guidance on allergens.

Had a lovely meal here. The food was excellent and the staff were absolutely lovely. A warm and friendly atmosphere- highly recommended.

Traveling back from Braemar after 2 and half day wild camping. So was realy looking forward to a nice takeaway. Took the order in person , realy nice gentleman. He did explain that it would take 15 to cook , which was not a issue....

Food excellent as always. However as I booked by phone and collected myself I did not expect 10% to be added to the quoted online prices. My subsequent email querying this anomaly was unanswered so my advice is calculate your bill before collecting.

I ordered my food online for my family last Sunday, and collection after. Maybe it is a busy time so I wait extra 15 mins. Food is good and fresh. Very tasty for my lamb meal. Except waiting extra time everything is good and I...

I had ordered online to takeaway and was given a time for collection.Upon arrival i was told my meals were going to be an extra 20-25 mins before they’d be ready.I was asked to wait in my car and they’d call me when ready.Which i...

The service is very friendly. The food is great. Due to Covid-19 only take aways or delivery, but the quality of the food or service has not impacted this ... highly recommended.

Just had our first home delivery, we will definitely have more in the future. The website was easy to use, the delivery was fairly quick, but best of all, the food was excellent. Thank you to the staff of The Himalayas.

Visited yesterday evening for the first time, you are met with such friendly politness, the service was 1st class and as for the food, superb, very tasty full of flavour and texture. great variety. Would highly recommend, we will most certainly return.

We are always on the lookout for new Indian restaurants and were happy to try The Himalayas after reading great reviews! What a find indeed! Really nice and friendly service on a busy Saturday evening, excellent and interesting choices on the menu and superbly cooked!

Had a very good meal here with friends, food was delicious. Service excellent. Will certainly 3at here again when in Aberdeen.

Outstanding food, friendly staff, noisy drunks who should’ve been asked to moderate behaviour. We’ve been here a few times and the found is gorgeous, really, really nice. The staff are lovely, hyper friendly and attentive. It’s a small place, not many tables so it feels...

Enjoyed a lot , thank you for serving healthy and delicious Nepali,Tibetan and indian twisted food. The atmosphere is nice, friendly team !

One doesn't expect to find an outstanding meal in a suburb of Aberdeen but having eaten three Indian meals in the last week, one in a well known Edinburgh location and the other in a longstanding Aberdeen city centre restaurant, this was but far the best. The starters of Himalayan fish and Momo parcels were tasty and generous. My main course which was Lamb Hara Bhara in a mint and spinach cream sauce was exceptional and my fellow diners dishes were equally interesting. The restaurant is licensed with a good value choice of wine beer and spirits. Service was friendly attentive and efficient . We will certainly return.

First time eaten from here, had a home delivery as friends round. Really tasty, great quality, lovely flavour. Arrived quicker than expected. Decent portions for price. Will definitely be eating here again

Food nice enough. Our friends enjoyed their choices. Probably go back as handy location and service was good.

We had a takeaway from here this evening, food was delicious, chicken tikka masala was exceptional, tasted amazing and so creamy. Thank you, we will definitely be regular customers.

Visited here to get a take-away meal. It was prepared in around 20mins which was good for a Saturday night. I ordered a Himalayan Butter Chicken and a naan bread. Both were very nice.

Visiting one of my sons in Bieldside for a family gathering, my wife and I went to the restaurant with my two sons, one daughter-in-law and three grandsons (aged 6 to 10).

Have been a few times this year when visiting the area, absolutely first class, delightful owner Manoj couldn't be more helopful and you can watch your dinner being prepared through the large window to the kitchen.

We visited for takeaway early on a Friday night. Many orders were coming in by phone but we were dealt with promptly. We ordered two mains, a plain naan and pilau rice. Food came quickly and portion sizes were generous. Chicken Madras was very nice indeed and the naan was fantastic. The Lamb Jalfrezi, however, was slightly under-seasoned but the meat was very tender and there was a lot of it. A pinch of salt sorted this out. Staff are very friendly and we had a good chat with (I believe) the owner about the decor and photos. By some distance the best Indian in the Culter area. We will be back.

Había leído algunas críticas, así que decidí echarle un vistazo esta noche (7 de agosto '19). No estaba demasiado ocupado a las 7 pm y conseguimos una mesa inmediatamente. Personal muy amable y educado. El restaurante estaba limpio, bien presentado, sin ruidosa música de fondo y era cómodamente cálido. Los baños eran pequeños pero adecuados y limpios.

No pudimos conseguir nuestra comida india para llevar habitual de Aberdeen, ya que nos encontramos descuidados y solo tenemos un radio de 3 millas.

The Himalayas is our go to dinner place though we live in Aberdeen city centre. Food served is always fresh and authentic. Very friendly people. Nice cozy restaurant. Would definitely come here anytime of the year. Glad we

took my mum in a wheelchair and they were so accommodating, moving chairs and helping us in and out of the restaurant.

Myself & my husband enjoyed a delicious meal here on Saturday night. Would definitely recommend the momo for starter! Really friendly staff.

Allez y les yeux fermés si vous séjournez du côté d’Aberdeen! Le service est juste parfait, convivial, aux petits soins. Notre repas vraiment délicieux ; je me suis régalée d’un poulet gingembre aux pousses d’épinard. Expérience culinaire et voyage en Himalaya garanti! Belle surprise qui a illuminé notre soirée pour un rapport qualité/prix imbattable (60£ pour 2adultes et 2enfants). Merci!

Well good travellers what can I say about the Himalayas tandoori! My mum and I went in the other evening for the first time expecting it to be a takeaway only and were Msurprised to find its a seating restaurant as well.We were shown to our table by our very nice friendly host and perused the very diverse menu.Mum opted for the biriani and I went for the tandoori king prawns which is my fave garlic nan fo me and chappattis for mum.The food arrived and I was happy to see large plump fresh prawns sat before me on a sizzeling plate with an onion garnish I dived in and honestly curry lovers it was excellent! top grade delicious prawns with a nice hint of spice it truly was perfect complimented by my well cooked garlic nan it was the perfect dish on a cold night fantastic! Mum let me try hers and I was taken by the delicate and tasty flavours that tingled my tastebuds very very nice a real winner all in all a great meal in nice surroundings with friendly staff you honestly cant go wrong and they also do home delivery so folks if your in the wee village of culter and love a curry head to the Himalayas for a truly tantalising meal its that good we will be back regards from Catherine and Barry

Everything is LIT!! I recommend this place to everyone! The staff are very friendly and always welcome you politely.

I visited the Himalayas with my family and the food and service was absolutely amazing. They have decorated the menu with plenty of choice and consists dishes from Nepalese cuisine and Indian cuisine. Our food was perfectly flavoured and the service was attentive.

Simply the best. All dishes we have tried are amazing and the staff are all so friendly and considerate. Guaranteed satisfaction!

Went in to order a take away which I was advised to come back and collect 30 mins later. Returned after 35 mins to find they had forgotten about the order and not started cooking it. When the food did come 10 mins later it was unusually bland and the sauce was very watery. Had been a regular customer but not sure we will be back!

Picked up 7 different curries last night with sides, everyone delicious, tender chicken beautiful sauce.

Excellent food, consistent over 6 months. Helpful & accommodating staff. (Thats all I wanted to say, but Tripadvisor insists on 100 characters).

We have frequented this excellent local Nepalese restaurant since it's opening, dining here on average 2 or 3 times each month. The staff and ambience are a delight and the food is exquisite. Specialities of the house including fish, meat and chicken 'sizzlers' are highly recommended. Authentic Nepalese sauces and a wide range of dishes cannot be faulted. A main attraction are the owner/ proprietors who man 'front of house' and provide a first class welcome and exceptional hospitality. Since acquiring an alcoholic beverages licence we have particularly enjoyed the draught Cobra beer, a range of wines and whiskies. All prices are highly competitive and with the quality of welcome, hospitality and staffing this venue qualifies as exceptional by any standards. Note that the restaurant also operates a very competitive and excellent home delivery service which in the early evening is always in high demand so expect to be part of a very busy operation if you have an early evening booking.

So far I have only been for take away, however service was very good and food was delicious. I will definitely be back and intend to dine in. Would definitely recommend based on my experience so far.

We went as a family to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. The restaurant is very clean and has a lovely atmosphere, great choice of food and very polite, friendly staff. The food served was of an extremely high standard, delicious! Enjoyed the visit and will definitely return.

The food is always really good. I like a Korma and it’s always tasty and full over flavour unlike many other places I’ve been. Staff are very polite and attentive. The only down side food does take a while but we go in expecting this now.

Popped in for dinner last night and tried a different dish for a change. I have never been disappointed with the food in this lovely friendly restaurant.

Went here for a takeaway last week and the owner was very hospitable and friendly while I waited. The food itself was excellent and we couldn’t complain about anything even if we wanted to. Looking forward to our next visit in the New Year.

Had a fantastic meal at The Himalayas, food was super delicious & staff was very helpful & polite. We will definitely visit again👍

El plato principal de curry para llevar no tenía gusto y estaba lleno de coliflor económica (básicamente un agente de carga barato usado por tandooris para mantener los costos bajos). Sin sabor Las guarniciones de la bola de masa no vienen con ensalada y son pequeñas. Personal amigable (probablemente contento de que están obteniendo beneficios al vender ingredientes baratos y cobrar el mejor precio). Lo mejor es evitar este lugar e ir a un lugar donde los ingredientes no sean tan baratos y sin sabor. ¡El pollo sabía como cosas económicas muy baratas! ¡Al menos los propietarios / empleados no son políticos arriesgados como Malik en la otra casa de curry en Culter! En resumen: básico y sin sabor: personal amable (pero la comida no está a la altura).

Couldn’t make it out to the restaurant. Ordered a home delivery around 16.30, arrived within 45 minutes. Excellent in every respect.

Great. Just perfect. We regularly eat or order from them and they produce cracking food with a super attitude towards customers and how to make a place welcoming. Surpasses all other Nepalese or Indian cuisine in Aberdeen.

Tenía una increíble patia de cordero y ajo nan aquí. El nan fue ligero y ligeramente crujiente con coco y trozos de ajo (pedí mucho ajo). La mejor comida que he tenido en mucho tiempo.

Wow - saben cómo sacar los sabores. . . Debo admitir que me encanta la comida india, pero en muchos lugares las comidas tienen un sabor bastante similar sin importar lo que usted ordene. ¡Aqui no! Los Himalayas pueden parecer pequeños, pero sus platos son grandes y muy distintos, con opciones de cocina en el norte de la India y Nepal. Tuvimos Momo's como entrante, y como cordero cordero con jengibre y espinacas, y pollo Himalayan - todos maravillosamente sazonados y sabrosos, asegurándonos de volver pronto para más. Igualmente importante, la gente que lo dirige, y que entran y salen de la cocina, son encantadores y brindan un excelente servicio. DEBES intentarlo, aunque el riesgo es que estarás enganchado de por vida.

Excellent food and very friendly staff, we had a lovely dinner thank you !! First time I taste Indian wine and I must say it goes very well with the spices in the food, would recommend !

We ate here with my parents last night and all really enjoyed it. The food was quite similar to traditional Indian. The quality was excellent. Beautifully prepared meat, lovely vegetarian dishes, all with light and lovely sauces. lovely vegetarian dishes, all with light and lovely sauces. We ended with a wonderful selection of desserts. The house Merlot is great too. It's all cooked fresh and served by friendly attentive staff. A real find. Highly recommended.

We have eaten here twice now and both times, we have been really impressed with the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. Great place! Love the Hara Bhara Lamb - really tender.

Locale con piatti tipici indiani e nepalesi. L'ambiente è intimo,ben curato e caratteristico senza essere pacchiano. I due gestori ci hanno accolto con grande cortesia e simpatia e hanno riservato attenzioni (senza essere invadenti) a tutti i tavoli, nonostante il locale fosse pieno. Abbiamo mangiato veramente molto bene, e abbondantemente a giusto prezzo. Lo suggerisco per chi è di passaggio verso Aberdeen o il parco nazionale di Cairngorm.

Wir wollten am zweiten Abend nicht im Hotel Maryculter House essen, aber auch nicht weit fahren. So sind wir im Himalayas gelandet und waren sehr angetan. Es gibt eine sehr große Auswahl an Vorspeisen und Hauptgerichten, die authentisch zubereitet und serviert werden. Das Personal ist außerordentlich freundlich, die Portionen sind gut bemessen und die Preise moderat. Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden und werden gerne wiederkommen.

Being in Peterculter for a night i selected the Himalayan by reading other TripAdvisor reviews. It was my first approach to the Nepalese food but it was very positive.

Yet again another lovely meal at this restaurant. Can’t fault the quality of the food ( monkfish masala is amazing as well as the Nepalese traditional dishes). Service and friendly welcoming staff are great.

My hotel recommended it and I loved it. The owner was super nice and helped with the menu. I am a single and I ordered two starters, Monk fish and Shrimp, they was make mild if you want. Main meal was Lamb, it was tender, not fatty and very nice with the fresh rice. I would eat here again. Also fast WiFi as bonus. Good ice cream across street.

We have been here on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed. Food has been first class and the portion sizes are perfect. The service is great. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning

I didn't think much of this place after it changed hands but we thought we'd give it another try - well that was a big mistake.

Went here tonight and it was quite busy with only one man on who provided an excellent service to everyone! While we waited for our starters, we were given popadoms and different chutneys. When the starters arrived they were nice and hot and so tasty, I highly recommend the MOMO. Not a long wait for the mains and they were equally as delicious. I had the madras and my partner had the jalfrezi. Both dishes were a lovely level of spice. Can’t wait to go back here! Left feeling full and satisfied with our meals:)

We were out for a meal on Saturday night. The service was brilliant with the staff being very attentive. The meal itself was lovely, tasted delicious and it came in very well sized portions, we left feeling very full. The on street parking was also very helpful as we got parked right behind the restaurant with no problems. We will definitely return!

We were out for dinner with friends on Saturday night. We have been to this restaurant four times. Each time there is a restaurant full of people and two people serving. With a busy take away/delivery service to run and a full restaurant - only two people cannot cope. Thus you are left sitting in between drinks orders, food orders, the food appearing (we had two main courses on our table - four people round the table - and no rice, nan etc taken out from the kitchen - in the meantime the two serving men were at the desk seeing to carry outs). The food is lovely when you get it. However, there really is a need for more people to be employed here so that the service can match the lovely food.

This little restaurant has amazing food, some traditional dishes but also outstanding Nepalese specialities. There is a lot to choose from and staff are very happy to explain the different items on the menu. Overall: highly recommended! It is a good idea to book a table at the weekend because they get very busy then.

Had amazing food at this lovely restaurant it was well worth a visit Food was so tasty and freshly cooked and staff very friendly. We will definitely be returning

Purely by chance we drove past and stopped - amazing restaurant, impeccably clean and food to die for. Glass windows to kitchen but they have nothing to hide anyway. It’s an hour and a half drive from home and well worth the trip cannot recommend highly enough!

Went here for dinner tonight after my family raved about it, and I can see why! Their hospitality was fantastic, I felt so welcome like we were old friends. The food was perfect, haven’t had a meal like this is Aberdeen for a long time! The dishes were a great size, super tasty and were very authentic for the region. Will definitely be back!

We've lived in the area for a while and had the pleasure to eat at The Himalaya's last week.

A group of 6 ate here on Friday night and every one of us had really tasty dishes. I ordered the Sizzle Chicken this time as a friend had it the last time we were here and it was just as good as before. The food is really nicely presented and the guys serving are very welcoming and friendly making The Himalayas somewhere we will be back to soon.

Just got a takeaway for 6 people. One of the tastiest curries in city and shire, better than anything in Banchory and a free bottle of wine!

We pass this small restaurant every day going to work and thought to give it a go for my birthday. Not many places open on a Monday but they had 7 tables going out of maybe 12 in total! Its unpretentious and the service matched, casual in a good way, not rushed and not too long to wait. Even so we got two Manchurian veggie balls to try for free and they were delicious. All served in a more modern style, slightly smaller portions but with sides and rice/naans it was too much. What we didn't eat we took home. Will definitely go back again. Good genuine cooking in a different style and a nice relaxed atmosphere to eat in. I had Nepalese Hara Bhara Lamb and it was delicious. Only negative, slightly small portions for the price which might bother some people but not us!

The staff were polite and friendly, the service was very good and the food was great. Looking forward to returning real soon.

First visit and made very welcome. Excellent service and the food was very good although portions could have been slightly larger. We weren't rushed so enjoyed the meal in a nice relaxed atmosphere. Will return!

I visited this place last weekend with the idea of getting out of the city centre and trying somewhere new...I was not disappointed. The service was welcoming and so friendly with a relaxed atmosphere - but the food was out of this world. So nice. The presentation was great and the taste was even better. I had the Himalayan chicken sizzler and it was spectacular. I would recommend to anyone. One of the best meals I have had in Aberdeen.

This was the first time I have been here and can’t fault anything the food was good and the service was also good will definitely be back.

Visited for a birthday with the family and will go again soon. Very friendly service and tasty food.

Ordered a last minute take-away from here. We used to order from Cafe Bombay very regularly but this was only our second order from here as we didn't think the first one was up to much. The starter was okay, as were the mains but...

Took family here for supper. Was a lovey meal. Chicken pakora and monkfish starters both lovely! Prawn tikka, butter chicken and garlic chilli chicken very nice to. Lovely and polite service we will be back

arrived after booking table on tuesday night.
