Himalayan Gurkha Restaurant in Southend-on-Sea

Great good and the staff were friendly. Quite busy with plenty of regulars which is a good sign.

I had searched Maps and was on my way when this caught my eye from the side of the road, not a cuisine you see every day. I turned around and I am so very pleased I did. This will be a must-stop for Cary/Raleigh now! The saag shrimp and paneer with rice had a lovely texture and delightful flavor. Everything about this place was excellent, especially the surprise ginger tea and the gulab jamun for dessert (get it WARM!). I truly can't wait to come back and have it all again. I will have to start finding reasons to come to Cary, just for this delectable fare!

This place is fantastic. The food is authentic and fresh, the menu is allergen friendly, and the complimentary tea is the cherry on top. A must try!

Really good food. Great ambience. Good portion. Very reasonably price.

One of the best restaurants in the town. I’ve eaten here many times and it’s always great. They give you a nice tea to start with. The chili fried momo is really good. You should definitely try this place if you love momos.

The best indian ever! Food is unbelievably tasty. Perfectly spiced. Good range at a great price. All my favorites including gulab jamun. I wish I could give it 6 stars!

Hands down, this spot is my absolute favorite place for incredible Nepali cuisine in the Triangle. The service here is incredible every time we go; our cups are always filled with their delicious house-made complimentary, sweet yet spiced, Nepali black tea (I love this tea so much that I have to ask for a refill to go), the waiter always has amazing suggestions for dishes depending on our mood, plus every dish I have at Himalayan Nepali Cuisine is phenomenal. Our Chili Chicken appetizer (spice level 3 out of 7) is my new obsession. The chicken bites are fried to perfection and tossed in a chili pepper based sauce with peppers and onion (OMG so good). I loved how massive the veggie samosas were; truly a meal in itself. It paired well with the cilantro based sauce and even better with the side of chilli sauce. The outside was crispy and the inside was almost fluffy with massed potatoes and various root veggies and spices. I had steamed chicken mono for the first time and I think I’m hooked. I loved how each dumpling was steamed well and filled with a mixture of ground chicken, spices and came with a side of chutney. My favorite dinner item from last week was the lamb tikki Marsala (spice level 3 out of 7). This delicious, tomato and cream based dish was only made slightly better by super tender, marinated lamb throughout the dish. This is my new go to dish. Over the past month, my bf and I have gone back at least 3 times from Raleigh to Cary just to enjoy the welcoming atmosphere and dishes at this wonderful restaurant.

Excellent food, excellent and friendly service. I really love this place. I can’t figure out which item I like the best between the momos, matar paneer, chicken saag, and chicken korma. All of the dishes are so uniquely delicious and the sauces that come with are great as well. Highly recommend a mango lassi to wash everything down 🤤

This is a hidden gem in Cary. The food, service, everything is amazing!

I have come here several times, the food is delicious, especially the gobi and malai kofta is incredible. Their tea is top notch. One of my favorite places of all time to eat at.

Food is really authentic and delicious☺️

I love this place! Great food and service in a cozy atmosphere.

Excellent Indian cuisine! All you can eat buffet is a great choice. Thank you!

My boyfriend, Bailey, and I were frequent visitors of this restaurant. We ate here almost weekly. The food is always delicious, the service is outstanding, and the ginger tea was a favorite for the both of us. We sadly no longer live in the area, but cannot wait to come back in the future. You will NOT be disappointed by this place. This is one of the best restaurants we have ever visited.

The young man waiting on us was so wonderful. Food was excellent. I'll be back.

I've spent more money here than I have anywhere else in my life, and that's saying something because their prices are LOW. 50 bucks and you have yourself a date night for two that'll cover an an appetizer, the best dinner you'll ever have, a decent tip, AND leave you with leftovers. They can take a while to bring the food as everything is made to order and they're often busy, but that's just more time to talk with your party and enjoy some free hot tea. Tons of vegetarian and vegan options, too! Do yourself a huge favor and try this place out. If you like Indian or Nepalese style food, this place has you covered.

The service and staff is good. I expected much more from the food from the reviews everywhere. Medium spicy food tasted kind of sweet. Momos were okay. Not a lot of garlic taste on garlic naan.

Service was excellent and the food was amazing.

Loved the vegetarian options. The soup, tea, Momos, Manchurian, tandoori garlic roti and paneer curry. All items were very tasty and felt super fresh. service was very good.. would love to try other Veg options soon .

I love this place, the staff are so polite and welcoming. The food is authentic and priced very reasonably- also come with a delicious hot ginger tea and papadums. I always get samosa and black lentils with naan bread, just can’t duplicate the fast at home I look forward to coming here when I’m in town ❤️

Great vegan and vegetarian options with amazing mo mo!!!

Amazing food, the best food always. I really enjoy this place. Thanks

This place has awesome authentic food! The staff is really friendly and helpful. They provide a great complimentary tea. Will be back for sure!

New halal Nepali place! The chili chicken momos are amazing and the seasoning is on point. Great food and great atmosphere. The staff is very nice and accommodating!

I came in on a Monday afternoon around 5:30pm and the chicken momos, garlic naan and Nepali chicken curry were absolutely delicious! Portion sizes were great and I loved the complimentary ginger tea and pappad, and the spice level of everything was perfect (I was asked which level I’d like it at, and I said mild); service was outstanding too, my water was never empty. Can’t wait to come back and try more items on the menu!

Excellent service with some of the best food around and affordable prices. Love it here!

This place is amazing! From the service to the complementary hot tea, I have only great things to say about this restaurant. My favorite appetizers are the govi , steamed chicken momos, and the chicken chow chow soup. For entrees the chicken saag, chicken korma, and chicken chow mein are all hall of fame.

Went for the Fourth of July buffet. I had so much fun trying all the different foods. The varied greatly in the level of spicy, so there were options for everyone. Can’t wait to go back

Highly recommend, I finally went and loved it! Will be back!

The chow mein and Momo's were spot on! You get a complementary drink which is a lime ginger tea along with pappad. All of their items are made fresh and that shows! The Himalayan chai was very good too! I will keep going to this place! The price of the items were at an affordable rate. You have lots of vegetarian options.

Amazing place! Staff is always attentive and courteous, relaxing music is playing, and food is some of the best I have had.

Came from Austin Texas. Went to have dinner at North Carolina but didn’t meet the expectations. The food was totally not delicious.

This place is rediculiously good! No joke, I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. We had the Chicken Tiki Marsala and the Lamb Curry. If you don't like cilantro be sure to remember to ask for it not to be added, even with that it was so good I didn't care. The tea that comes with the meal is delicious. I can't speak highly enough if this place. We will be back.

Next time I'll eat in. Just happened to be in the neighborhood and walked in to check it out. When I smelled the cooking wafting out of the kitchen I knew I was going to order. Got 'to go' this time but dining area was busy and looked cozy. Very friendly service. Just be careful on heat scale. I ordered 4/7 and it was spicy hot!

Hidden gem in Cary. Butter chicken and chicken korma we're excellent. They provide a spice scale of 1-7 and we did the 4 which is just the right amount of spice/heat for us. Great service also and reasonably priced. We'll be back.

Best momo in the triangle, especially the chili fried veg

I was very impressed with this location for take out. From the phone to pick up, staff were friendly and efficient. What I got with my takeout was also a much better value compared to similar restaurants in the area (including a small thing of chutney and the crackers with my meal). They confirmed my order was what I wanted before check out and that everything was in the bag ready for me. I got the chicken korma mild which was creamy and a little sweet (a coconut flavor with nice mild curry flavor) and the garlic naan which is very nicely garlicky with chunky garlic. I loved the food and it was an excellent value. I would definitely recommend the take out and plan on going back to try some of their other curry options.

Absolutely the best in the area. Outstanding.

this is hands down my favorite restaurant in the triangle area - I always get the baigan bharta and it's literally perfect every time! the tea is amazing and the service is incredible. it's a joy to eat here!

Everything was amazing. Food was divine. Service was extraordinary and the atmosphere was very inviting!

Best Himalayan cuisine in the Triangle! My credentials: I’m brown

One of my favorite Nepalese restaurants in the triangle area, I have been visiting them for years and food continues to be of the best quality.

Amazingly flavorful, service was peak and the tea! I loved. Highly recommend the saag. Also they are accommodating to special needs and clearly place allergens on the menu

Delicious food, great service and hospitality, love the tea they provide with meal, a special place!

Best Indian food in the triangle area, well-priced, great service. Vegetarian options, kid friendly, large parking lot, near downtown Cary.

I came here to visit my sister and came upon this restaurant after recommendations. The food is amazing.

Great food at a reasonable price and good service. The hot tea that is served with every meal is also delicious.

The momos reminded us of home... delicious! The chicken chowmein and Chilli chicken was quite good too. The welcome drink of hot lemon-ginger tea felt like the mountains.

The food was delicious. I ordered the Goat Curry and I know what you’re thinking, but it was tender and so good. What I wasn’t expecting was the amount of bones on the dish. To be fair, the menu did warn me, so that’s on me. I went for the level 5 of 7 heat and it was very manageable. We also ordered the mixed pickles. Dang those were freakin’ lit. Much, much spicer than the level 5 spice I had orderer. Buyer beware! Overall, we’ll be back. The atmosphere was super casual and you can expect a good 30-40 wait after ordering. I strongly advise make reservations before you go.

Everything I've tried has been excellent and the service is always fantastic! 10/10 I definitely recommend this place.

The chicken momos were so good and the garlic naan was very crispy. What was even better than the food? Their house made drinks. The complimentary ginger tea and mango lassi were simply the best. FYI, it was super busy during weekends so be prepared to wait.

Met up with some friends on a quiet Wednesday night. Heard good things about this place and wasn't disappointed. Veggie and Chicken Momos to start, Goat Curry and Aloo Govi to finish. All of them were excellent and the waiter was spot-on with the spiciness recommendations. (3 out of 7, for some heat but not overwhelming) Would definitely go back and try other dishes. Ambience is nothing fancy, but you go for the food!

This was the first time for me and the second for my sister. The food did not disappoint. The Momos were delicious and my Chicken with Spinach Saag was outstanding. Just the right amount of spices. I live in Virginia, but will try to get by each time I am in town. My new favorite place!

Best Indian/Himalayan place in the area

My wife and I love eating here or getting takeout. We haven't been disappointed with anything off the menu yet. There is a warm, small restaurant atmosphere that feels relaxed. Great place to eat when you aren't in a hurry.

Really amazing food and great service. The tea is very delicious and so is the tandoori chicken

Our food was very good. I had the chicken Tikka Masala. Our service was also very good. But the time to get our food was very long. If you eat here plan for 1.5-2 hrs.

Maybe our favorite restaurant in the triangle Every dish I try is fantastic, and the ginger tea is delicious!

I and my friend were craving for Indian style momos and we found it here in the Himalayan Nepali Cuisine restaurant. The place is extremely busy with a wait time of about 45 min in the evening. I will not say the food was worth the wait, but it did satisfy our momo cravings. They offered complimentary kava while customers were waiting which was soothing and refreshing. The vegetable momos need a little bit more spice and less turmeric. The vegetarian noodles were on the other hand a tad but mire spicy for a medium level spicy. The Himalayan tea was milk-based tea which I liked. Not so strong, neither very dull. Just right! A lot of white crowd was also there along with the Indians. The staff was very nice and the ambience gives a full Himalayan Nepali vibe. Do try!

We ordered the Chicken Biryani, Chili fried chicken momos Chow chow chicken soup Tandoori chicken And baigan bharta I like that they ask you how spicy you want it for all dishes. Feels super homemade. A 3/7 feels like a mild to medium and 5/7 felt decently spicy. Will def try to order 5 and 6 spicy next time. Great place with great prices!

We were regulars. Owner lost our business.

Excellent food, great service as well. Its a relatively small space, so had to wait a bit to be seated. They served their nepalese tea on the house, which was awesome. Food took a while to arrive, but it was hot & fresh. Every dish was flavorful. We got the nepali style fried potato appetizers & momos both of which were amazing,. Tandoori mixed grill was perfectly cooked & seasoned. Service was pleasant. Overall excellent food & service. Highly recommended!

Wonderful food, excellent service, highly recommend

We tried their vegetable momo, Nepali chicken and lamb kadai as well as garlic naan. Everything was amazing! It was also super affordable with attentive service.

Great restaurant if you want to try something different. I love their ginger tea. I will be coming back.

Amazing restaurant great food !

My go to place for Butter Chicken for the past 11 years now.

Amazingly wonderful food! A favorite spot!!

Best Indian restaurant in town !!!!!

The food and staff were amazing! We stopped in for dinner and were so pleased with the experience, can’t wait to go back and try more things! Picture is of the Lamb biryani and plain naan which were both excellent. Their free ginger tea served when you sit was delicious, a great touch to keep people coming back

Best part is that everything is prepared fresh on order. Always great food quality. Sip Ginger tea all through the meal :) Great place and highly recommended.

Great place for halal Nepali food 👌

Came in for takeout, stayed to dine in. I had the lamb curry and it was really good, so was the mango lassi. The tea is THE BEST you get some when you die in, and very good service . I will come back

The atmosphere is good. But food here is so low quality. We ordered chicken thali, chicken biryani, and veg thali. The chicken was like fresh out of frozen and just thawed and cooked! I am sorry but no sorry, very nasty flavor of chicken. One of the worst chicken curry and chicken biryani I tasted around the town.Naan was thin and served less than quantity. Portion size was medium. Only thing i loved is the ginger tea and paapad. Donot recommend this Nepali restaurant.The owner really need to work on food quality and flavours.

Some of the best food we’ve ever had!

Manoj(sp) was awesome to meet and talk to. I hope you make it to the Colorado mountains my man!! The food was awesome and the service was on point. Will come here again!!

We loved the complimentary hot tea. Also, they kept the water flowing without us asking which was nice given the spice level of our food. It was all delicious and I will visit again.

Food was great but I feel that it was extremely over priced for lunch!

This is probably my favorite restaurant in Cary. The people are always so nice and the food is incredible.

So gonna start this off by saying there's another Nepali restaurant in Cary with somewhat similar name and i meant to order from the other one instead of this one. With that being said i thought why not just try this place out? absolutely glad i did. I was immediately greeted at the door, offered Ginger tea, and the host was extremely polite. Food was as equally good as well, i got butter chicken, naan, and gobi manchurian. The gobi manchurian was fine, not the top of my list but still good, the chicken and naan however were incredible. Will be ordering from here again!

I really liked the dishes - great food! For a small restaurant it was enjoyable and I would come back.

Great food, service, and prices!

Great and authentic food with kind and prompt service. Some food took longer than others but that is only because it is made fresh to order, the cheap drinks and incredible flavors make it all well worth the wait! We cannot wait to return!

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I had to give 3 stars because we waited in the parking lot 30 minutes for them to open. So, we were the first ones there. 3 stars.... IS BECAUSE IT TOOK OVER AN HOUR TO GET OUR FOOD. The food and staff were great. So, if you're not in a hurry, this is a good place for a delicious meal.

Perfect, fresh-made curries, good spice calibration, and excellent sides made for a terrific lunch!

Great food and service. We need to find another location for this business and all others in this complex when Cary allows it to be flattened for more ugly apartments.

If you live anywhere in what is broadly considered “the triangle,” and you haven’t eaten here, what are you doing with your life? Make the best decision you’ll have made in years and get some food from Himalayan Nepali Cuisine. Nothing is bad, everything is amazing. Take out is just as good as in-person. Staff are warm, kind, attentive, and just all around nice folks. Get the complimentary ginger lemon honey tea while you wait — but be aware that it’s near boiling.

You can’t beat this place at food quality and also amazing prices

Amazing food and service! We had an amazing dinner, will be coming back often!

Been here twice and loved it both times. The food is super good and they have a solid selection of vegan options. Wait times can be pretty high sometimes so it might not be a bad idea to send out a scouting party in advance and put your name on the waiting list.

This place never fails to be one of the very best restaurant experiences I have had. I’ve been here many times and have made great memories with my family here. The food is some of the best in the triangle and the service is equally outstanding. 10/10!!

Unexpected 75 minute wait after ordering. The chicken saag was alright, Naan was pretty good. But looking over the other reviews it seems "made to order" means settle in and get comfortable. Be prepared.

Fantastic food, fantastic service! The taste was amazing, they let us choose our spice level, and the server was super nice and helpful! Atmosphere was fine but I was honestly more focused on the delicious food too much to notice. Go here!

The absolute best food ever, you have to come here! The dumplings, tandoori chicken, steamed momo, samosas, chicken biryani, everything is amazing! We make the hour drive here at least once a month because the food is so good. Service is very nice as well.

Beautiful new restaurant, fantastic food and decorations, the people here are so nice. Really lovely and can't wait to come back!

Absolutely delicious, flavorful, and fresh! I didn't mind waiting a bit longer for the food since it is made fresh. The complimentary hot tea at lunch was a nice surprise. Love that there are multiple vegan options. Will definitely be returning!

This place has beautiful energy! I ordered the chicken Momos. Holy ...so good. Best Momos in the triangle honestly. Also their tea is so delicious!!!!

Wonderful service! The Thali lunch special was fantastic with very generous portions!
