Hemalaya in Newham

Came across this place on Tuesday evening and what a gem! The service was great, the inside of the restaurant os modern, clean and has a lovely vibe.....prices were very reasonable and the curry was one of the best I have had....I am in the area mostly and now have found my go to curry place! Thanks guys, see you next month

Great Indian cuisine at a reasonable price. A group of work colleagues and I walk 3/4 mile through old Stratford town in an evening, and have always never been disappointed with the food and friendly service. Worth booking in advance as this is a small restaurant.

Mixed kebab starter very small couldn't cut the lamb disappointing tough and chewy told waiter gave me 2 baji tasteless flat and greasy garlic chili chicken for main very poor never to return

We received warm welcome. We had booked, but at 8pm on a Friday evening, it wasn't full. There are lots of dishes on offer, that that I hadn't seen on other menus. I really liked the Mango delight, very mild, very different. The food was not oily/greasy, the flavouring was good. However, the biryani does not come with a vegetable curry included, which was the only surprise. The prices were reasonable. I would recommend and return to this great restaurant.

For those who claim that this restaurant has gone downhill after a recent change in management, I have to say for me there was no discernible difference. I too have been coming here for years on and off, and I found it to be just as good as ever. Service was friendly and attentive, and the food was excellent - as good as any Indian cuisine you will find anywhere. We started with the usual formalities: poppadom’s and dips, which were perfectly good. Our starters - sheek kebab and onion bhaji were - let's face it - pretty standard fare. Interestingly, when asked for a recommendation, I was referred to a dish I had never tried before, described on the menu as 'award winning' (although it fails to say which award), the chef's Himalaya special: grilled marinated chicken cooked in a sauce of fresh onion, mixed pepper, green chilli, and chef's secret spices. It was actually quite nice. Spicy, but not overpowering, and certainly a little different. My colleague had the fish tikka mossalla, described as marinated diced fish in a coconut and cream sauce apparently another 'secret recipe' (see pictures). With the final bill for two coming in at just over £50, with sides and drinks, prices are not overinflated. Best of all, there was no cynical 'discretionary' service charge added to the bill, which is something of a moot point for me, as my numerous reviews on this platform will no doubt testify. Overall, a good venue with good Indian cuisine, and well worth visiting.

We went here for an after show event after Abba Voyage. It's a short cab ride or a brisk 25m walk. Traditional local restaurant, nicely busy in the early evening. Traditional menu livened up with unusual specials such as Himalayan Chicken and Sea Bass Biran. Quality of the food was top notch. Service was very attentive and the wine list was pretty good. Definitely worth a detour.

Masum was fantastic and gave great service for us as a group great food and lovely service from the team. We had a group of 6 people and it was great

Absolutely lovely, there is no need for any other words. The service was great, food was DELICIOUS, what moore would one want. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

This restaurant is really very good. The food was rather nice and the staff were lovely. In all I would recommend this restaurant highly for an unfussy friendly dining experience.

My mother and her best friend were customers of this resturant for over 20 years. It was always an amazing resturant with great service and great food. Sadly since changing owners it has really gone downhill on all fronts. The food is seriosly so bad now, really cheap fatty meat is used in the curries, bland flavourless taste, a real shame as they have destroyed what was once a well respected and fantastic resturant. I would advise people to order from Star of India in Leytonstone, don't waste your money here.

Vivió en Stratford durante algunos años y nunca noté el Himalaya. Entonces, cuando mi hermano vino a visitarme y le apetecía un curry, encontré esta joya cerca. Muy elegante por dentro y los baños son modernos y limpios. En cuanto a la comida, todo lo que pedimos fue de primera clase. Los poppadoms eran frescos y crujientes, los entrantes Lamb Tikka y Prawn Puri eran excelentes y los platos principales Himalaya Special Curry y Garlic y Chilli Chicken eran de primera categoría. Las cervezas Cobra costaban 5 cada una, pero eso es lo que pagas en Londres. Personal muy amable que nos dio un whisky de cortesía con la factura. Olvídate de Brick Lane, este es el verdadero negocio.

Got the tandoori mixed grill. Seekh kebab wasn't the best but the chicken and lamb were delicious. The area isn't the nicest, the menu however is not too expensive. Overall, decent tandoori restaurant and will visit again.

Esta es mi primera visita a este restaurante y una de mis primeras visitas a cualquier restaurante desde que se redujo el cierre. Tengo que decir que este fue un pequeño restaurante maravilloso con muchos platos interesantes para probar. Comencé con una especie de hamburguesa picante cubierta en una tortilla con un poco de ensalada a un lado + una salsa de yogur y menta para verter encima si quieres. Luego comí un plato picante de langostinos con arroz Keema. Muy muy bien. Lo recomiendo. Luego tomé un plato de helado en escamas Cadbury y una deliciosa taza de café con nata. Toda la comida llegó a 27 + propina. Recomiendo seriamente este restaurante y quiero volver.

I was meeting my son for some food in E15 & we happened across this restaurant. The food & service were lovely.

Describiría Himalaya como su clásico restaurante indio local. Amplia gama de platos que consisten en todos los nombres familiares que esperarías junto con una impresionante variedad de especialidades de la casa, ¡algunos de los cuales son 'galardonados'! ! Toda la comida que pedimos estaba bien preparada, sabrosa y generosa en términos de tamaño de la porción. Las botellas grandes de Cobra tienen un precio honesto por debajo de 5. 00, que hace un cambio refrescante desde tantos lugares que cobran precios de estafa en estos días. Varios artículos como naan, arroz, etc. estaban todos bien. Las samosas vegetarianas fueron un poco decepcionantes. Muy básico con mínimo relleno. En general, hace el trabajo bastante bien.

We went for a family dinner. The food is excellent and the service nice and friendly. A wonderful evening!!!We are definitely coming back.

Wir waren für vier Tage in London und haben im Ibis Stratford gewohnt. In direkter Nachbarschaft haben wir das Himalaya entdeckt und waren direkt begeistert, so dass wir an zwei Abenden hier gegessen haben. Wir haben insgesamt 10 verschiedene Gerichte ausprobiert und alles hat vorzüglich geschmeckt. Der Service war aufmerksam und freundlich und der Besitzer hat uns beim zweiten Besuch sehr herzlich empfangen. Für 2 Hauptgerichte inklusive Reis und 3 Gemüsebeilagen sowie Getränke (kein Alkohol) haben wir an die 50 £ bezahlt - ein wirklich fairer Preis! Wir können das Himalaya jedem wärmstens empfehlen, der ein Fan guter indischer Küche ist.

Quería un curry para variar, tomé unas copas en Stratford y encontré el restaurante fácilmente. Madras Curry estaba lo suficientemente caliente y muy sabroso, teníamos Bhaji's que eran excelentes, Bombay Potato y Naan para agregar al Curry y al Arroz. En general, un gran restaurante con un gran personal y comida para combinar

A couple of locals took me to this restaurant for dinner. Excellent menu good seafood and vegetarian selections. Nice casual atmosphere but not too loud. Service was polite and efficient. Went back a second time during my stay in London. Would certainly return the next time I visit Stratford.

Have been here twice.Nice service.Had the Naga chicken both times,very tasty.Decor average at best but who cares food is tasty.

Este restaurante está a pocos pasos de los hoteles de Westfield. Solíamos ir a un par de otros restaurantes indios en la zona, pero ambos han cerrado. Este fue un gran descubrimiento, la comida era encantadora y picante, especialmente el pollo Naga y el personal era muy amable. Puedo recomendar este restaurante si quieres un cambio de los del centro comercial.

10 of us had a Christmas meal here recently. Great menu, tasty food, and very friendly service. My second visit here, and I look forward to returning. Cost £30 a head including beers and gratuities.

Aquí en el negocio. En las primeras impresiones esto es como se describe una casa de curry tradicional británica. Y nada de malo en eso. Servicio cortés y rápido, generosa bandeja de chutney también. Entrante mixto como siempre, que estaba bien. El plato principal llegó y los jalfrazzi tenían un montón de chiles, ¿lo suficiente como para que tu boca se estremeciera en el camino de regreso al hotel? Felizmente comer aquí de nuevo.

Can only be described as a traditional British curry house. Clean, well presented, good service, classic menu, Indian beer, foil wrapped chocolate and a hot towel - everything you want and expect from a traditional curry house. Will visit again.

Très bon. Belle quantité, savoureux et personnel chaleureux.

Fuimos un viernes por la noche alrededor de 630 p. m. El servicio fue muy amable y la comida era buena. No como picante, como nos gusta, pero no está mal. Teníamos la cebolla bajh, que era muy buena. El chutneys estaban bien. El Bombay aloo, sagg paneer, y Peshawar Nan, eran todos muy buenos. Las cervezas estaban fríos y buena cobra. Dos para la cena y las bebidas eran 50 libras total, buena relación calidad-precio. Era el mejor que he comido, no, pero estaba bueno y nos volveríamos.

Visitamos este pequeño restaurante para comer como un grupo de seis. Decoración agradable. Restaurante había venido recomendado por un amigo.

Old school Indian with helpful service and decent curry. Good traditional menu and a decent chef. Very busy takeaway (hungry house) but it’s usually fine to get a table. I like it but it’s not fancy or a place to take a first date.

nice food, not too salty, arrived on time and plenty of it.

non avevo mai mangiato cibo indiano.

Authentic, fresh taste and lighter than most curries. Our new favourite!

good food but tepid due to it being half an hour late

horrible restaurant. no customer service at all. basically swore at me and left me hungry. was their last chance with us AVOID!

I love this place and use it a lot but a couple of points tonight: Daal was crazy runny, like soup runny. The driver actually ASKED my wife for a tip for delivery - this is NOT on. :-(

We messed up had to pop out and the delivery guy was early we was stuck in traffic to get back and not only did the guy patiently wait he was understanding and on top of keeping him waiting 40 mins the food was still hot and lovely this place deserves all the glory thank you

Primera visita y no será la última. Nada era demasiado problema para el servicio excelente. Carta de vinos variada y muy razonable. Quería ayuda en el más adecuado para probar el curry que era perfecta y deliciosa. Ojalá viviera más cerca, ya que este sería mi local. Gracias

The delivery driver was rude and aggressive. He was very late and told me "it is not good enough" that I had not answered his call a few minutes before he knocked on the door. The naans were burnt.

Didn't like the food. Not tasty... ordered lamb karahi as I used to order it from my local takeaway and I love it. The lamb was not fresh and it was stiff. It looked like they Just took the lamb from the skewer and put sauce on it. There was so little meat too. Didn't even finished it

Really good curry. Bit mild even for me, but texture and taste was perfect. Good portion size. And so many places give dry, crusty naan... and this was stretchy, soft, fresh - perfect! And unlike a lot of other places, the Peshwari was actually sweet - not just a bit of coconut crumbled on top. Definitely ordering again.

Quite late delivery, and the driver would not listen to advice on how to get to me after he got lost.

The food was really good, not too spicy, well cooked and really tasty! The only negative point was the delivery time, that arrived 10 minutes late, but just because the restaurant is less than 5 minutes walk from my house!

The BEST Indian food around! Thank you!!

Very nice food, didn't charge extra for some requests I made, driver was very polite

Absolutely brutal. Food arrived 20 minutes late. Not even an apology from the driver. Food was bland, chewy and all round the worst interpretation of Indian food I have ever whitnessed. Doubt I'll ever see my money again. If you wanna eat Indian food. This is not the place i am afraid.

Really really good food, extremely spicy (Balti Jalfrezi), but the Tandoori Chicken, Naan and Main Dish (the Balti) were all excellent. Highly recommended

Just a little colder than usual.

Usually we really like the food from here however the fish curry was a bland and onion heavy- disappointing. :-(

Best take-away curry I've had. The tikka balti is delicious! The naan is fresh and soft. Highly recommend

Good food from this place. I had the Balti Jalfrezi with pilau rice and a lamb tikka starter. The portions were generous- especially the lamb tikka. The Balti was in a thick gravy with plenty of meat. Reasonably priced too. The delivery guy was polite and brought the delivery right to my door (this is harder than it sounds!) Well done guys!

As always the best and greatest .

Great restaurant, seems to be a new listing on just eat for some reason - but same great food

Nice flavours - would recommend the Dal Mussalah

food was great, so as their delivery timing!!

Love this place best curries everything is fresh and tastes amazing been using restaurant for 15 years now

Arrived before estimated time and was still hot. Ordered from here for many years and will continue to do so!

Este prometía ser el restaurante indio que habíamos estado buscando en Stratford pero, desafortunadamente, había demasiadas fallas con platos individuales: el cordero tikka era duro y el keebab más cocinado, mientras que las gambas en el sagú de la gamba se habían cortado en pedazos pequeños que básicamente hacían del plato un bhaji de sag con trozos de pescado (así que básicamente estábamos pagando un billete adicional por los "pedacitos de pescado").

Best Indian food I have had in a long time. Delivery time was excellent and the driver was very friendly. The food portions were perfect and it was nice and hot. Amazing value for money. Thank You and I will definitely order again!

Never a y problems and always on time wonderful service.

Tandoori half chicken was very good, great value at just over a fiver too. Ordered for collection as it's just round the corner from me. Will be again!

Never again. Food arrived with delivery driver who refused to come into my building, had to go outside to fetch it. ( says can't stop) Food wasn't hot but luke warm Chicken Tikka appear to have a large quantity of salt spilt into and was shockingly bad and wasn't edable. Briyani Chicken was totally dry and cold. Wouldn't recommend or ever try again

The food was tasteless had no salt at all would not order from there ever again

Have tried a few Chicken Kormas from the restaurants around my area and this was probably the best so far. Would definitely order again.

Food was tasty, however... Arrived late, then asked for a tip because it's out of their usual delivery area. Why is it on just eat in this area if they don't want to deliver here? Didn't follow my instruction about calling on arrival due to broken doorbell Vindaloo tasty but not very spicy, and was literally half the size of my girlfriends korma. Korma was twice the size of the vindaloo, don't really know why as they were around the same price.

i found this a nice meal and usually the Lamb we find quite tender, but the pieces of Lamb Tikka I had this time was a bit tough i.e it needed a lot of chewing, which spoilt it really for my mother, as she found it really tough.

The most Disgusting food ever. Murg mussalam was basically uncooked. Chicken korma and butter chicken tikka were both sweet ...not mild but sweet... wonder if you put sugar in

I have been a customer for 25 yrs, but I am not any longer, the food was disgusting, tandoori king prawn masala looked like no prawns ive seen before, curry sauce was dark brown liquid which I flushed down toilet, lamb curry didn't taste like lamb and was disgusting, chicken korma was tasteless just plain pieces chicken in a curd like sauce, disgusting, salad was a joke, few slices onion in plastic bag which was warm and gone off, pilar rice bland , nan bread half the normal size, paid 60 pound and I may have flushed it down the toilet cos none of us ate anything, NEVER AGAIN

I always enjoy the food from here, great curries and a very nice meal all round, with quick delivery as well.

Jalfrezi was far too oily and nothing was sticking to the rice. Naan was good

The food was bland and portion sizes were inconsistent. The restaurant added 10 minutes onto our time after completing our order and was then 10 minutes late on top of that, without any notice whatsoever. There was even a small piece of metal found in one of the curries which was very, very concerning. We will not be ordering from here again.

had dansak and it was tasty, will use them again for sure

Unfortunately really tasteless. Had to drink the dhal like soup also.

Always order from here. Good Indian restaurant

Always happy with Hemalaya Good quality been there many times , first time using just eat and was happy with how easy it was to use !

Food for the first time was inedible. Put right off

Really delicious and good quality food. Will re-order for sure. It took longer than expected to arrive though.

Food was ok, nothing special. Would not order again

Would have 100% for stars if this restaurant hadn't messed up our order completely (sent us someone else's) but they did rectify their mistake and the food was great despite the initial issue.

It was amazing dinner, the food was really nice and hot. And the delivery time was very quickly.

Extremely well cooked/presented food .

Delivered much later than estimated on the app, not the greatest Indian cuisine either but pleasant nonetheless.

Have ordered from here for a few years now and never disappoints. Quick delivery, food always hot and tasty and very friendly delivery people.

The food is so tasty. First class! Delivery efficient. Will definitely use again. Happy. :-)

Good food always my first choice

Great food as usual never disappoints

I'd been told about this restaurant so the wife and I paid it a visit great friendly staff quick service and a lovely curry I had the lamb bhuna and the wife had a korma and it's a GREAT PRICE

Leí las críticas como siempre que tome una visión equilibrada, por desgracia, esta fue una de las peores experiencias gastronómicas!

Very good food, will reorder, lovely delivery driver!

Food was very good, delivered quickly by a nice mannered (young tall) delivery driver.

Great Food as usual no complaints at all

Hemos estado en este restaurante muchas veces a lo largo de los años, es fantástico que nunca he tenido una mala comida y el servicio es excepcional.
