Himalyan Hot Spot in Reading

Quality: the heat was a lot hotter than the previous times, which was disappointing. Collection: when ordering the app said 20min and then when order was placed it jumped up-to 1hour, and even then it took an additional 25mins to get the order.

Absolutely shocking. Ordered at 6:58 & was delivered at 9:30. To wait that long and it was just.. alright. Food wasn’t that hot and at 9:30 at night, didn’t really fancy it. The food was OKAY. Nothing too special. Really was not worth the wait. No communication at all, even when I called they were dismissive.

Just had to call to chase up the delivery. Food was lovely though and was warm. would order again

Had an allergic reaction (assuming due to cross contamination) on items I've ordered and eaten from here multiple times before with no issue. spent Friday night in hospital. Not good. Either need better labelling of products containing nuts in case you change ingredients or better kitchen practices if cross contamination was the cause of my reaction.

Delicious food at a very reasonable price. Add to this very good customer service. Kudos to the entire staff at Himalaya Hot Spot

Superb food and service. Absolutely love this place that I visited for the first time tonight. I’ll be returning regularly.

First time using and we had a delivery. Everything was first class - from the choice of dishes, the delivery was bang on time and what a lovely polite chap who delivered it, the portion sizes were very generous and everything was so tasty and cooked perfectly. Highly recommended and we shall definitely be ordering again and will also fit in a visit. Thank you!

Not received the food. very unusual as always really good??

Great people great food and very good value I've been eating there 10 years one of my favorites

Great restaurant great staff fantastic food every time, thank you!

Food was delicious, however the pickle I paid for didn’t arrive and the food needed heating up which was a shame. Flavour and quality very good though. Will probably try them again.

Came here with not particularly high expectations but it was actually really good. Will come again

Amazing affordable Sunday buffet!

supposed to be here for 6.00pm. arrived 6.30pm

Very good food - always lovely and quick delivery too 🥰

Always good food and delivered on time .

Ordered at 19:15 arrived at 21:05

No idea why people are complaining. One of the best takeaways in reading. Never had a bad experience in seven years from ordering with them. Highly recommend.

Good experience, food was good, the place looks nice as you can see from pictures and the waiter was kind and polite. I would go there again for sure!

Best local restaurant for curry and Nepalese food. Always great service and food.

Wednesday set menu is delicious and price is very reasonable.

Excellent service, great variety of food, very tasty and full of flavour, staff very friendly and attentive

My first take away from here and it was excellent. Will order again

I always order from these as service and food are excellent. unfortunately my order was very late.. it was only after an hour late I made a call to them of which they apologised. I then received my order half an hour after that. so in total 1 1/2 hrs late. my order was not cheap us eating much too late in the evening I would expect at least some sort of refund of either half or full payment. If nothing received back I will be putting a a not so favourable review of which I'm very reluctant to do. I await your reply kinds regards Leila

The food was delivered very late even beyond the committed time . The reason mentioned that the restaurant was busy that day .

The food was lovely & they were very sorry the order was so late. All good.

Although a bit late, the food was piping hot and very tasty indeed, and delivered by a very apologetic and polite delivery driver. very impressed well done and thanks.

Delivery time was already 1hour and 15mims but it was also ten minutes late on top of that. However, it’s New Year’s Eve so understandably might’ve been busy and food was warm and tasted really good. Worth the wait.

The curry was unfortunately watery and the rest of the meal was bland and not up to the usual standard.

Really tasty food. Reasonable price

Very good. On time and as expected

Awaiting a call back as the food order got messed up, one was meant to be a chicken dish and the other a lamb dish, they got swapped around, causing upset for my guests.

Always good reliable service from the restaurant

I have been coming here since I was a kid and I can honestly say no where i have ever been has beaten the Himilayan Hotspot Butter Chicken and Chicken Jalfrezi. Amazing food, always hot when it’s delivered, can take a while for them to cook but thats how you know it’s fresh and not just warmed up. 10/10 recommend. I recommend eating in too as their poppadoms are really good!! Best raita in Reading!

My personal favourite in Tilehurst. Great food and great guys in there

Ordered at 6:20pm, told 7:30 to 7:50, phoned up at 8pm, food on its way they said, arrived 8:20pm. Yes it was a Saturday but some of the food was like warm at best, first and last time ordering here. Lamb sag was very watery and probably the spinach was still half frozen. Just poor all round.

Took almost 2 hours and missed item off order

The food was delicious! Really nice sauce, tender and flavoursome lamb and chicken, tasty naan and crispy samosas with nice spicy filling!

Always great service and food is excellent. Visited on a Wednesday evening when they do a set menu offer so was very busy but still receive the same attention to detail and levels of service to nights when they are not so busy. Would highly recommend a visit

Delivery was way too delayed, food was cold. Kulcha naan was soggy and semi cooked

Its not traditional Nepalese food, but its worty for the sunday buffet

After years of saying I was going to try it we finally got round to having a takeaway. The good was delicious and my daughter and I enjoyed all the dishes we bought plus really appreciated the free onion bhaji, poppadoms and pickles. We definitely will be ordering from here again. Fantastic

Great spot. A local institution! Friendly staff, prompt service and delicious food. The best Indian takeaway for miles.

Best tasting curries around. Quality, taste, service 10/10

Really great value Sunday buffet. Visited early (1715), and all the dishes were full and very flavoursome. Good selection meeting all tastes with varying levels of heat. You can eat as much as you like but always find that once you have had the poppadoms, pickle tray, starters and a plate of main course, there's no room for seconds. Four people with two rounds of drinks - £70 - superb value and no washing up!

Good ambiance and food with limited options for buffet

Food tasted great and was delivered super quickly! Very pleasant experience all round!

Superb takeaway food. There are several similar restaurants nearer to us but none as good as the Himalayan Hot Spot.......the food and service is superb......thank you.

Delicious food and plenty of it!

My favourite curry house in reading area. Lovely food, good selection d always very friendly service.

Food and service was excellent would highly recommend.

I had the Himalayan Sekuwa, which was shown on the menu as the chef’s specialty. This tasty chicken dish was flavoured with ginger and served with onions and peppers. It was ready to collect in about 20 mins and made a good last-minute takeaway.

Missmass - which was my favourite dish was not as flavorful this time round. Okay but not the usual five stars this time.

The food never disappoints, wouldn’t order anywhere else!

Lovely atmosphere with an excellent service and really nice food. Kodus to the owner and the staff.

Really can’t share the experience as the website and Google said it was open today - Monday yet the collection order via JustEat was cancelled and when we got there the door was locked. Owner needs to amend opening hours to day closed on Mondays on both Google and their website.

Keep the Chef at all costs, really tasty

Very pleasant, friendly staff, atmosphere was nice. The the Sunday all you can eat buffet, which is reasonably priced, very filling. Would recommend.

Great quality food for a good price

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Himalayan Hot Spot on School Road in Tilehurst is a friendly and cosy Indian food restaurant. The staff are welcoming courteous and very friendly. There is a wide range of dishes to choose from on the menu and portion sizes are generous. Prices are good. The food is very good. I recommend the special jalfrezi and it is spicy hot. It is a fairly small establishment but you should be able to get a table though best to book. You can start with a couple drinks in the pub opposite then head over for some good quality food. The food normally arrives pretty quickly. Been here quite a few times and will be going back. A popular place and deservedly so. Recommended.

All the food was really good and we use this takeaway a lot. The only real letdown and disappointment was the chicken korma. The chicken was reallly tough and chewy where as the tikka masala was perfectly soft.

There is a large choice and the food is always good. My friend who hasn't been there for years said it was the best peshwari naan she'd ever had!

Love it here, great food great staff and Cobra £3.95 a pint.

Really highly recommended. Good taste.

Both dishes tasted the same and had a distinct taste of cheese. There were bones in the butter chicken dish. Not great

Excellent food and excellent service. Definitely recommend it 👍

Wonderful place. Family run restaurant, very authentic kitchen, super tasty, maybe best Nepalese and Indian kitchen in a city. Very pleasant prices. To-go destination for our family!

Very good food as always, recommend this restaurant to eat in or takeaway.

Food was lovely and delivered fast. Thank you

I use to order Parantha knowing they are lovely soft and tasty, now for the past two orders they are worse than hard tree bark. I could barely chew them. I even called the resturant asking for good parantha, but I believe they might have changed their staff. I would be trying other paces next time.

Great food and good service. very friendly staff

As always, lovely food and delivered earlier than the estimated time.

Lovely and well balanced food. Not too salty or hot , tasted fresh and delicious !

Great food... always delivers on flavour.

For the second consecutive meal my granddaughters complained about the texture of the chicken, so I may have to try somewhere else after many years a customer.

Delicious meal, with pleasant and friendly service.

Always a great service from the Himalayan Hotspot

Food was ready when we turned up. Just what we needed after a long day and the quality of the food was great for all the family

They didn't deliver the pickle I paid for, the food was great but missing items off the order dropped it down massively as I'm not going to chase up for a 70p pickle

Great Nepalese food, wonderful Nepalese service, good British prices!

Delivery was late but these things happen, driver apologised on delivery. Food was amazing as always. Will be back again!

No mint Yoghurt with my tikka and I expected puree bread with my chaat

Not great!!!! Food was greasy, onion bjajis soft and cold. Everything had to be reheated in the oven. Very disappointed.

Not to the usual standard. Long wait...not spicy as requested and small portions. Still, our go to place for now.

Been in here twice and the service and food is excellent. Very responsible price and the Wednesday set menu has a very good choice. Highly recommend this Indian.

First time eating here but it certainly won't be the last. Fab food and service was good.

We had indian here last week and it was unreal! Best one we had during our trip to reading.

Friendly little restaurant with a cosy atmosphere. Food is consistently good. Sunday night buffet is great value albeit a little cramped when busy. Would recommend!

Always excellent food and service

Really enjoyed love this restaurant

Always good food from the Hotspot.

Food was tasty and plentiful would recommend to anyone.

The delivery man knocked the door and left the food outside the door. However when I open the door he came back to handover the food to me. Food was very cold. The delivery man didn't have a food warmer container with him. The food was transferred in normal takeaway package. Choila didn't test like real Choila. It seems like 😇😅

It was my first time been there, we had such a lovely dinner, amazing service, delicious and tasty meal. Clean and healthy. I definitely will come back to it and will recommend it to my friends. Thank you for the hospitality and the best service.

I have just had a takeaway, and can only say, it was absolutely delicious. I collected it myself, and the team at the restaurant were extremely nice and helpful. Well done the Himalayan 👍👌. Thank you.

Lovely food, great atmosphere, good service, very welcoming very enjoyable thanks for your service and a great evening

Amazing food and very friendly staff. Thank you!

The food took two hours to arrive and all the food was runny like soup - think the restaurant has changed hands or has a different chef as the food isn’t the same.

Lovely food as usual,delicious.

Restaurant help me out with my order as i ordered the wrong meal and they were very helpful
