Himalaya in Lisburn

This place is a gem of a restaurant, Proper Indian food from the proprietor /Chef. I've spent a month in India and I prefer the Food here. Great taste great prices and very friendly staff. On the plus side you can bring you're own alcohol..

This is best for carry out probably. The owner is a first class chef who knows how to cook in the best way. All food is freshly cooked unlike other places locally. So. If you fancy a great Indian ( real Indian) go there. I think the others are just being too commercial.

Food was so bad .A negative feedback for Gulistan of Bengal Indian Restaurant might be that the portion sizes were small for the price paid, leaving customers feeling unsatisfied with their meal.

Amazing food , amazing prices , Amazing staff. I can't wait to return. It's a must visit if your in the area .

1st of all I struggle to even give it 1 mark, we dished out the food on plates # naan bread, chips (frozen and tepid) lamb rogan josh around 6 to 7 pieces of lamb and 2 large half tomatoes, chicken korma with same amount of chicken and sauce like soup. So decided to call and complain about the food but the guy on the phone was so volatile in his response even threatening to call the police lol when I attempted to respond i was shouted down i told him I would return the food for him to see but again his response was bring it down untouched??? .like how are you supposed to see what you ordered without putting it out on plates, anyway I could go on all evening about the food and the response but long story short. AVOID AT ALL COST, we basically threw £32 in the fire. So to finish let me just say worst takeaway EVER.

I wish I could give no stars I have had three dinners from this place the first was amazing the second was packed full of chilli so much so that more was wasted than eaten. I thought this might have been a one off so I order again as I stated the first korma was amazing but again tonight 2 dinners cost over 30pounds and most of it was wasted as it was far to spicy to eat. I phoned the restaurant and told them the answer I got was I'm sorry in a tone that said I really don't care. I would never order from these again avoid at all costs

Food was brutal,dips the worst iv tasted from Indian

WOW … sublime food. Depth of flavour, freshness of flavour, tenderness of meat, cooked to perfection … Didn’t want the meal to end.

I discovered this restaurant/takeaway a couple of weeks ago and I have been hooked since. I travel from Belfast to collect and to be honest I would travel a lot further. The food is fresh, packed full of flavour and the portions are very generous. I wanted a dish that was not on their menu and after explaining the dish they were happy to make it for me and it was up there with the best I've ever eaten. If you like Indian cuisine then give this place a try and I guarantee that you will not be dissapointed.

Saturday 18/09/2021 Frightful experience. Dine here at your own risk! Different name on the restaurant than on the site and Google maps. Was promised a desert at the beginning but at the end an ice Lilli was brought out . The side orders are all payed for separately. The samosas and chips were just...(Frozen Supermarket) Tasted something in the mixed grill that was like sheep... you know, with a bit of dung in it. The kid said the curry at school was better, THE KID!!!. But then again we were starving and every other place was booked out. We ate about 30% of the meal and the rest in the bin (I will usually do a take away, not this time) We have had Indian food and this was just heart breaking. Two samosas (Frozen Supermarket veg) for £4.50, two handfuls of iceberg lettuce and two slices of uncleaned tomato £3 (that was the salad) we asked for some onion and a full plate of chunky onions was given to us. Water spilled and the rag that was used to mop it off the table was disheartening. Maybe it was a bad day at the restaurant, maybe we were unfortunate. 4 adults and two kids (one baby). No issues with frozen supermarket food, just don't serve as fresh food at exorbitant prices. The group at the next table were enjoying it, but then again they all had a bottle of wine each and they knew the chef so...

We have gone to this wee restaurant many times. I love it. The food is amazing and you can bring your own. The owner is so hospitable, friendly and can't do enough to make your night good. And to top it all its such good value. Don't overlook this wee gem.

Food delivered tonight was wonderful. Tasty and piping hot. The Lamb Madras was excellent as were the bhajis and the naan. I don't order takeaway that often but this place is on my list!

Ordered and collected tonight, order was ready when we were told to arrive, and it was piping hot. We've eaten here many times before over the years, and the food is consistently excellent. Fresh, high quality ingredients. Any time we've sat in at the restaurant the service has been on point. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a high quality meal.

We had a lovely meal out as a family, all our dishes were delicious and reasonably priced! Will be back again in the future!

This wee place went downhill to be honest and we had quite a few bad meals from it after getting good meals in the past, but decided to give it one last try tonight & it was absolutely delicious!!! Everything hot & fresh & plenty of meat in the curries & sauce was nice and thick etc...thanks guys!

We had takeaway, but was so good we had to post a review. Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi, Boiled Rice and plain naan. The best I've ever had, without question.

Best Korma and Perswhani naan. Lovely delivery driver. Thanks

Carry out is great. Restaurant decor very dated; wouldn’t be my first choice to sit in but regularly get the take away.

Great food, terrific price. Will order again.

Best Indian about really tasty food, very friendly and would highly recommend at a really good price.

Best Indian takeaway in Northern Ireland. Me and my boyfriend eat here several times a month either takeaway or sitting in. We order butter chicken, chicken chilli masala and chicken jalfrezi and it’s always delicious. All the staff are lovely and always up for a laugh.

It has been nearly a year since my last lovely visit and have compared every Indian meal since to that I had last visit to the Himalaya. None came near! Place is a dump and in need of freshening up but its all about the food. Beautiful food. Lovely food matvelous food. Can't wait to return!

Delivery was on time but there was a 90 minute wait when I ordered. The food was nice as always but the delivery driver was very sour!

Took 1 hour and 30 minutes too arrive, came cold rang and complained and they wouldn’t send warm food up, prices are high so I expect warm food at least, one the curry’s was wrong which had a burnt taste, soggy chips, horrible somosas, funny taste too the popadoms too. Very rude staff.. avoid this place

Forgot rice, ended up with a cold curry by the time they got it to me. Food was good just cold.

Authentic Indian food would like to see a few more dishes on the menu, Roti, Puri, Idli, Dosa, Momos but otherwise khuba bhalo.

We ordered a takeaway from here the Biryani was nice, we ordered two Biryani and a vegetable dish a nan bread and two starters. The main courses were good but there was no rice with the vegetable dish it must not be included like it is in all the other Indian restaurants we have ordered in. We ordered two starters onion bhaji and vegetable samosa. The two onion bhaji in the container where so small you would need a magnifying glass to see them, you could have fitted about ten of them in the plastic container that they were served in, the samosas were just as small. My parents have owned many restaurants over the years I worked in two Michelin star restaurants and I have also worked in a few Indian restaurants, that was the first time that I never got a complementary popadom or a few with a £40 food order. The green dip was in the tiniest container you could buy and was filled up about 1 cm deep. And the onions were in the same size container. My advice would be to start giving decent sized portions for their starters and to look after their customers better if they want to keep them. Having said that as the size of the main course was good and tasted fine I would order it again but definitely skip the starters as they were not even two bites and definitely not worth the money.

Scored restaurant service as alright but as I ordered online I don't believe I received any.

Food was fresh, hot and delicious! Couldn't ask for more!

All good apart from I ordered sweet bread and got plain :/

Food was lovely flavours etc but some Popadoms were over cooked. Great delivery time though would use again

Order Chicken Madras Chicken Curry Medium Chips Rice Garlic Naan Onion Bhaji Paid £40 for a delivery that turned up 25 minutes late, food was warm rather than hot. Chicken Curry Medium, curry tasted powdery and chicken reheated. Chicken Madras was not spicy in the slightest. Chips cold. Onion Bhajis - no complaints. Garlic Naan - no complaints. Overall the quality of the food was a embarrassment to Indian cuisine. Curry tasted powery and meat quality poor. When I called to complain I do not believe my complaint was handled professionally or appropriate. It was my fault for living too far from the restaurant although ok enough to take the delivery fee... The food complaint was disregarded as noone else had complained so it must have been my taste. This was the first and last time I will be ordering from here and I will be actively encouraging anyone to follow suit.

Ridiculously overpriced. No poppadoms with order even though it was near £30 for one main course (which didn’t even include rice at nearly £9) and two rice, a naan and onion Bhaji. Nothing special about the food at all. Could have got something nicer for half the price. Also when the delivery arrived the driver asked me for £3 more for the delivery? No thand uou

I tried another Indian in Lisburn and realised how good the Himalayan was. Freshly cooked food with a skilled and conscientious chef. Tandoori specialist. Don't go anywhere else

Very disappointing chicken chili masala. Sauce too sweet, not enough chili.

Food was excellent and full of flavour. Ordered lamb dansak and was given chicken instead, however it was so tasty it didn’t matter!

Tasty food, well presented, and great service.

Genuinely good Indian takeaway - plenty of options to choose from. Food arrived hot and on time. No complaints here!

Food ordered on just eat easily. It come when it it said it would and food was very tasty and piping hot 5*.

Very quick delivery and Bhuna was lovely, really tasty & fresh. Mixed platter starter was poor & overpriced, wouldn’t recommend that.

Was extremely disappointed with this order. Main course didn’t come with rice however there was nothing on the just eat app to let us know this and as all other Indian restaurants provide rice with main courses we assumed this would. Food was average. Also after reading the reviews and the rude / sarcastic replies to these reviews from the restaurant, even if the food was outstanding I would not order again for this reason (que cheeky response........)

Excellent, Thank you Feroz for a beautiful meal. Your company was enchanting and your food even more! Hope to see you soon, Stephen & Lynne from Magheralin.

Food was nice, but no rice was included with the meal. Meal was over-priced & I felt a bit cheated. I wouldn’t order again.

This is a small, unpretentious place, but the food is what makes it. It is really flavoursome and good value. I've never been disappointed. You can take your own wine and corkage is minimal. The staff are pleasant and friendly.

To begin: Just Eat allocated a over an hour wait timeslot which is too long, food arrived, nann bread missing, salad leaves in the kebab where not fresh at all & all brown in colour - had to remove them completely so I didnt get to enjoy it. Very few pieces of chicken in the madras. Rang restaurant, nann sent out swiftly, delivery driver was lovely. Go here all the time and its usually nice but today was disappointing sadly

Food was appalling. Dry and tasteless. Would certainly not recommend.

Owen the driver delivered wrong order that my partner placed, started eating it which was cold, then he kept knocking our door twenty minutes later and demanded money, I paid him six pounds cash to get him from stop knocking my door as he kept banging my door, I will be asking for a vat receipt foforr the trouble and still confused why someone kept banging my door at 12 am!

Great quality as always, best food in the town.

it took over 2 hours for our delivery to arrive, once it had arrived the food wasn’t hot, we got half a portion of rice and they left a note on the bag saying they ran out of poppadoms, and didn’t even offer to refund the money for them which they now owe us. will never be back or order from here again, would advise to go elsewhere as they don’t care, on top of all that, they wouldn’t answer the phone to us after delivering the food.

Food was late, cold and dry. Won’t be back and wouldn’t recommend unless you have some time to waste

This is my first and only choice for Indian cuisine in Lisburn. The taste is something I have yet to find an equal for anywhere and the staff are always warm and welcoming. Highly recommend the Curry, or Dansak. Apologies for any spelling errors.

Now that's what I call a meal. Thank you.

Enjoyed the naan and the flavour of the curry’s was great, however must say ordering the king prawn is a waste of money, we got a chicken (£6) and a king prawn dish (£14), and there were 4 prawns in the curry, which for over twice the price wasn’t on. On the plus side, very fast delivery.

Food wasn’t as nice as expected for the price, Naan bread was all crumbled and mint sauce was very watery

Excellent food and great value for money

food was ok. a bite too much oil

Food was ok, I had chicken tikka korma which was really nice but it was £7 and you don't get a side with it? For eg rice or chips, but it doesn't tell you this on the just eat app so I basically had a bowl of chicken in sauce, my son's chicken breast was a bit overcooked, but edible, the pakoras where just ok.dont get me wrong the food was definitely edible, but they need to state to order rice etc separately. It is a bit expensive for chicken in a sauce on its own.

Very pleased i will def order again thank you

The Rogan Josh (Lamb) was lovely and hot, but the rest of delivery, cold. The starter was very tough.

Nice food, and not very expensive. Small portions of rice, but the currys are very big portions.

Food ordered just after 7.00pm given a delivery time of 8.05pm food arived 9.00pm nan bread and rice cold, the rest of the food warm but only just. This is my first time using this restaurant/take away and it will probably be my last if i had known it would take so long i would have went down in my own car but then i would have went to my usual restaurant/take away because they don't deliver (more's the pity) i must say im not pleased im not pleased at all and may think twice before using this app again Yours Ian Sweeney

Oily and lacking taste. Tough chicken

Really enjoyed the meal would definitely order again

Can’t fault the quality of food and customer service. Bit of a mix up with delivery time that was dealt with effectively- very pleasant when I phoned to explain the problem! Will definitely be back!

Delivered early, but no problems. food fresh and great quality. thanks!

Whilst the food was tasty, the dishes were very wet and had spilled in transit. they had packed Raita (natural yoghurt sprinkled with cucumber) on top of the hot food, and it was curdled when it arrived. The popadoms were in a hundred pieces The Naan bread was dry and in several pieces All in all, disappointing and expensive. I don’t think I would use them again

Part of my order was chicken tikka kebab. Received 6 tiny pieces of chicken in a plastic box. Phoned to complain and restaurant said they send out a naan immediately. Got it 25 mins later, so overcooked that it was basically a large crisp. All naan bread we ordered with the meal was overdone and tasteless. Feel completely ripped off at the price we paid, certainly won’t be back again.

Best Indian in lisburn. The owner will always look after you and it's not as expensive as other Indians

food arrived earlier than estimated which I am happy about. food was excellent, portion size was good and flavour was great. definitely will order again

Awful keebab no salad or sauce! Just meat in a naan bread?. Not even in a bag on the side. Popadoms sofa so not fresh. Pickles old. Was fast delivery Overall very poor.!.

Always sure of great food. Havent been in a while but have to say the food still very high standard. I had lamb sagwalla (probably spelt wrong) loads of lamb in it and the flavours were something else. Definitely will be back soon

Was a really enjoyable from start to end from getting shown to are table getting served. The good quality food to go along with the evening I would recommend this establishment to people I know.

Best Lamb jalfrezi ever plus always good chicken korma . great take away with true tandoori tastes. best in Lisburn by far

Biryani was very good but everything else was sub par. Giving out tortilla wraps as roti is especially pathetic, considering they charge £2 for the pleasure. Portions are tiny with very little meat. First time ordering from the himalaya but I wouldn't order from here again

I've always been a lover of Indian food, have tried many other restaurants and this is always my favourite.

Unreal. Brilliant food and service, will definitely be back!! Will definitely come back soon. Lovely 💙

Food was 3 hours early. Orderd a regular coke, received a diet. And I orderd plain naan bread and received some soft brown bread type stuff that was minging. Orderd from here a number of times, however due to this order I am now cutting ties with thes restaurant.

Ordered at 8pm, with initial delivery time of 8:50pm. That was subsequently pushed out to 9:05pm.

Food over an hour and a half late, food had to be delivered twice as the first delivery was the wrong order, the second delivery was also wrong. Restaurant refused any kind of refund even though I did not receive what I had ordered. Just Eat where equally as unhelpful.

Ordered at 8pm, with initial delivery time of 8:50pm. That was subsequently pushed out to 9:05pm. Rang them at 10pm and following an apology I was told the order would be 15 minutes. It's now 11pm and no food, so unfortunately I cannot rate the quality of their offering. However the customer services sucks in the extreme. Who needs customers? Eh!!! You have been warned!

Food was 35 minutes past time meant to be delivered, rang the restaurant and told it was on its way, 1 hour later still hasn't arrived so ring again to be told it left half an hour ago. We ask to cancel the order as we've been waiting over 2 hours by this point and honestly just want to go to bed but person on the phone was very unhelpful and didn't do anything but insist it was on its way and he eventually hung the phone up on us. Had to ring Just eat and organise a refund via their help line. Will not be ordering again.

Do not order from here. Ordered at 8pm, our food was due to be delivered at 9.10pm. At 9.40pm we rang to check the status and was told there was a delay but the order was definitely on its way. I am writing this at 11pm. We have just had to cancel our order through just eat as the restauramt haven't been answering calls for the last hour. Abysmal service, and think that lying to a paying customer that their order is on its way when it clearly isn't is unforgivable.

a tasty enough meal but both curries looked identical, not a great start! the nann was more like a poppadom and the stuffed pepper wasn’t stuffed rather cooked and out on top of the filling. not often I would leave a bad review, I will give the place a second chance but not the quality that I remember

Definitely the best indian around, I travel from co.down to it as its the best ive found anywhere. Food always fantastic, large portions, we even take the left overs home lol. Excellent staff who are always very helpful and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back soon

Ordered out of here tonight for the first time and safe to say I will never be returning!!! My partner brought back the food, the portion sizes we're tiny like a kids portion.

Way too spicy ! Ordered for me and my father, managed mine but his has to be left unfortunately.

murgh tikka wasn't quite what I expected

Visited Himalaya to defrost from the recent snow on a recommendation from a friend. Recently moved to the area, we were excited, having tested most Indian restaurants over the years in Belfast. Unassuming on the outside but makes up for it on the inside. Food was delicious and chutneys etc were so fresh. Chicken jalfrezi alone will have me coming back again and again,up there with the best I have ever tasted. The whole meal was faultless from start to finish,friendly service and can’t wait to return already.

food already took over an hour, and then was late. very disappointed with food. I am not feeling well so I ordered a korma (known for not being spicy). however I was unable to eat my meal as it was too SPICY?! not happy and won’t be returning.

Really nice korma. Would use again. Thank you.

Generally a good experience, was surprised by how helpful they were. Much appreciated !!

Amazing tasting Indian. Will be back!

Lovely food. Would order again.

Thanks for the lovely meal guys. This is the tastiest Indian takeaway in Lisburn by miles. Just one thing - the flavours are good but the food would be so much better if the vegetables were finely chopped and not just left in big chunks.

The food here is amazing! Don’t be put off by the decor. I had the garlic chilli chicken it was packed with flavour but not over powering or greasy. My husband had the pathia, which he loved (though it was a bit too sweet for my taste) They both came with rice and naan and we had shared mix starter. All this was just £20!!! We got a voucher from their website. And to top it off it’s BYO! The service was excellent and the owner couldn’t have done enough. We loved loved loved it and will be regulars from now on! Just so delighted to have a great curry house on our doorstep (we used to drive 25 miles round trip for a good curry!)

u couldn't have a friendlier welcome.. followed by fragrant perfectly spiced food. BYO as added bonus.. great food and its a vastly underrated restaurant , lovely owner and anyone I bring very impressed they didn't know about it before. as good Indian food as you will get IN Northern Ireland. 5/5

Got a takeaway last night it was outstanding

Unfortunately the starters were absolutely awful. Ordered a starter platter and samosas. Very poor quality, oily and flavourless. Luckily the quantity was severely lacking too because we would have just had to throw more in the bin. The yoghurt side had been watered down so much it was equally tasteless. The biryiani was edible but definitely not great. It's surprising any takeaway has the nerve to serve this poor quality of food and expect it to be enjoyed. Or indeed have repeat orders.

Himalayas can pride itself on being the best Indian restaurant in Lisburn (in my opinion). Although the premises maybe small and lacking the food is not. Good for spice lovers, and perfect for those who just want a tasty korma.
