We have ordered from this restaurant via Just Eat twice, and both times they have accepted the order then 40+ mins later phoned to cancel saying there’s no drivers. Terrible!!!

The order took longer than expected to arrive and the delivery driver gave us someone else’s order - which we discovered when we unpacked the food - and he was long gone. It was too late to put in a new order, and we couldn’t take it to the people whose order it was, so we ate some of the food. It was as poorly labelled as usual and the quality wasn’t up to standard. When our friend who’d ordered it rang to complain this morning he was told it was nothing to do with him and that he should complain to just eat. Our friend explained that his contract was with the restaurant - and the person at the restaurant said ‘do you think you’re a lawyer’, laughed and put the phone down. We have been regular customers. Never again.

I was there with my wife to see my father and his partner after two years due to covid. We live overseas. The restaurant was empty when we arrived .Two more came in later. We ordered just main courses with starter poppadum's two bottle of wines and beer the total for 4 was 95 pounds The standard of food was very average . The ingredients did not look fresh and everything had a synthetic feel to it and poor quality meat, We wanted to be just served but the waiter was listening to our conversations and taking over Remember we had not see them for 2 years. The waiter kept interrupting I know just being friendly but we wanted some peace His personal hygiene was also very poor Coughing and spluttering Remember we have just had two years of Covid !! So all in all the restaurant needs to buck its ideas up ! A very underwhelming experience .

For the second time our takeaway order has been declined but this time it was cancelled only 5 minutes before it was due to arrive after waiting an hour. Excuse was embarrassing and they hung up the phone before I had chance to challenge the cancellation. Not impressed and will not be using them again, very disappointing and I can’t begin to express our frustration as I’ve been a customer for the past 25 years.

I spent the weekend in Leighton Buzzard and went for a meal on a Saturday night. The restaurant was fairly busy and seems to be popular for eating in and take aways. I ordered my meal and it took around 15 minutes to arrive and was of a very good quality. If I return to Leighton Buzzard I would definitely return to this restaurant and would highly recommend it.

So this is my local and favourite curry house in Leighton. Booked for over 20 people on a Saturday. A preorder had to be given which was easier rather than having to have a set menu for so many. The staff excelled themselves. Food was all bought out at the same time and it was up to their normal high standard. Staff are very friendly. As it was a large party we decided everyone order drinks at the bar which they never had to wait for. Some guests had never eaten here but were so impressed they have said they will return. Thank you to all the staff for making this evening an amazing experience.

Today we went out with family and friends for a meal. We ordered our food and it took 1 hour and 20 minutes for our starters to arrive. We were extremely disappointed when they eventually came out, because they were ice cold. Having seven of the party being kids this was not on. One of the children was actually sick on the way home as a result of this. When asking to complain to the manager, we were told that the manager is only here on a Friday and Saturday. Over all it was not a good experience and would not suggest to go on any other day apart from a Friday and Saturday when the manage is there.

We visited as a group of 5 for my sisters birthday. We all live Indian food and have been here a handful of times over the years but not very recently. The food was fantastic, we all ordered differently from each other yet still managed to have food envy!!! We had 2 sharing platters between the 5 of us to start and a mix of curries, biryanis, rices, naans and sides. I asked for my jalfrezi to be hot and they were happy to accommodate (it was indeed hot, and very delicious) the sides were also amazing, the sag paneer in particular was fantastic! The portion sizes were good (we took leftovers home for a yummy take two tomorrow) definitely recommend this curry house, the food was delicious and perfectly seasoned, the staff are friendly and the price is reasonable.... 5 people = £135 and this included poppadoms, starters, 5 mains, 3 rice, 3 naans, 4 sides, jug of mango lassi and a bottle of wine! Definitely visiting again!!

Ordered a take away from the Himalaya and it was delicious. The food tasted very fresh and the chicken in my tikka massala was beautifully soft. Definitely my new favourite curry house in town - and there are a fair few to choose from! The only small negative was that my husband's chicken bhuna was not as spicy as he would have liked. The naan breads - a plan and peshwari - were delicious and not greasy like at some Indian restaurants.

We have used this restaurant for many years for both take away and eating in. The quality of food is always very good. However waiting time is too often unacceptable. We placed a take away order for 6 people Saturday evening at 6:50 which is a busy time for a restaurant so a quoted delivery time of 45-60 minutes was acceptable. 95 minutes and two phone calls later we received our order. When we started to serve the food we found we were missing two main dishes which were delivered 15 minutes later. Our dinner party was spoiled by false promises of delivery time and order management. .

What can I say it was absolutely amazing from the moment I walked in. The waiting stuff was immaculate, the food was outstanding I had one their house specials and it was one the best curry dishes I've had in a long time except from my local curry house The curry Bengal in Horley which is amazing but this was a close second. I would definitely come again.

We usually collect as you get a discount and the food is always ready and piping hot when we arrive. The staff are lovely, very friendly. We've also eaten in the restaurant a few times which has been good also. Although the service can be a little slow, as they are so busy on take away orders. Would definitely recommend this place and we will certainly continue to get our Indian take aways from there.

I have been going to this restaurant on and off for about 10 years. We normally get great food and good service. Last nights meal was very disappointing the food itself was good but the service was terrible. There were only 2 tables including ourselves and we spent nearly 2.5 hours for starters/main meal. One of the staff members was ok but the other came across as rude, whether this was intended or not isn't really the point. We were also charged for drinks which we didn't have, this was corrected before I paid. I won't be in a hurry to return.

I explained he called some 40 minutes earlier and that I wasn't happy with my food sitting around for 40 minutes was told to call back if the food was bad. 20 minutes later the restaurant call me and say do you still want the food we are really busy and can't find you.

I have been a regular customer of this restaurant for a number of years and have always enjoyed the food and found the staff very helpful and polite but on my last two visits thing have taken a real step in the wrong direction. We visited with two friends for a meal and know the place have a banquet night on several nights in the week with so many dishes for a set price, but try enquiring what you can order of if indeed this was one of the nights they have a banquet night and the staff play dumb and pretend they don't understand what you are asking. Sadly this is not the first time I've been treated like this, it happened on a previous occasion. It seems they put the offer up on the outside of the building just to entice you in, but once in, shrug their shoulders and leave you having to pay the full price for dishes. There is also no mention of banquet nights in the menu so you would have to leave your seat and go outside with the waiter to explain what you are talking about and still probably have him deny they ever have banquet nights which when you are with a party of 4 makes it very difficult. Strange attitude of staff at present and needs to change or else there's a lot of choice to eat elsewhere, which i may have to consider in future. Don't take us for mugs!!. Other than my annoyance the food is always v.good.

After visiting this restaurant with my family for my mums birthday, we experienced a few good aspects of the visit however it was mainly disappointing. When arriving at the restaurant with my family, I tried to give a birthday cake to a member of staff for my mums birthday, and straight away had it snatched off me from who I was assuming was the manager, who didn't seem interested to listen to anything I was going to explain about it. We then sat down and throughout the night received very cold and abrupt service, especially from the manager. When eating the main meal we discovered some of the chicken being served was processed and we weren't made aware of this before ordering. When we then confronted the manager he repeatedly denied the fact that the chicken wasn't fresh and from being a waitress myself, I knew he wasn't being truthful with us.We then asked for the birthday cake after the meal, which took around 15 minutes to receive, which was quite disappointing. Over all it was a very below average night and I can't imagine myself returning anywhere in the near future.

Have been coming to the Himalaya since I was a kid, the staff are so friendly and always stop for a chat and to recommend new dishes etc. In my opinion the mark of a good Indian is how well they can cook Chicken Tikka and with every other restaurant I go to I always compare with the Himalaya's; some have come close, but no other has beaten theirs for taste and quality - we're talking some seriously tender chicken here!I love trying new restaurants, especially Indian's, but you can't beat having somewhere to eat where you know the food is going to be faultless, and the service will leave you with a smile on your face.Not really much more to say except GO!

Late evening visit to the new Himalaya having eaten there several times in the past. The waiter service is good and is not intrusive. There are several dishes here that are not on the usual boring standard Indian restaurant menu found elsewhere. For those less adventurous, the conventional curries are on hand as required. The food was served hot and the flavours were not blended to the point of adding more chilli powder which make a change from some of the curry houses I have over the years visited. I look forward to my next visit.

I hesitate to write a review about the New Himalaya because it's been a couple of years since I've been there--I spent 20+ years in the Leighton Buzzard area but now live in Australia.However, let me put my affection for the New Himalaya this way: before moving to Aus our farewell dinner was with friends and, we we paid a visit back to the UK, we landed at Heathrow, picked up a hire car, drove to Leighton Buzzard and were in the Himalaya by 7PM. That's how much we rate their food and their friendly service. Oh, and we had a week in Mumbai on the way back to the UK!Seriously, the family that runs the restaurant has been the same for many years and are incredibly friendly, welcoming and efficient. The food uses the freshest ingredients wonderfully prepared--and, as per a review above, their chef is good enough that he can provide off-menu dishes or "tweak" others to taste. For example, my wife likes the spice mix in the Ceylon but sometimes wants it a bit hotter--the kitchen was always happy to provide a curry customised just for her.My personal favourite is the Jalfrezi--very hot but still with a layered mix of flavours. The heat comes from tiny fresh chilis but with a fresh ginger background flavour. Delicious!Much as I love Queensland, I want a New Himalaya curry. Tonight.

I have been to most of the Indian restaurants and this is definitely one of the best. The owner is so helpful and accommodating as are the staff. And the food... well, being an indian I can tell what's authentic and what's not and this is. So so so recommended!

Can't rave about this place enough but be warned that as a group I have found that the wait between ordering and food arriving can be quite long.....

We went to this place as a special occasion and were not disappointed. The service was attentive but not too much so, the food was generous and as I would expect, the decor came as a surprise, very original. We will go again for sure.

We have been eating at the Himalaya for over ten years and the food is always excellent. The owner is so friendly and always offers a warm welcome. I have never had a disappointing meal and would recommend it whole heartedly. .. they have a party room, a separate eating area for large groups which is lovely if you are celebrating something. Prices are reasonable and the food is always freshly prepared and cooked. I love the kushboo curry, it isn't on the new menu but if you ask they will happily make it for you, it's a lovely aromatic dish with lots of cinnamon. Delightful!

I visited the restaurant on a quiet Monday night with my cousin after a few beers. We are both food-loving 45 year old blokes with big appetites! It being a Monday night, we were, for most of our meal, the only customers in this tastefully decorated, medium sized restaurant. However, this did not seem to affect either the warm welcome or the quality of the food.The menu is extensive, offering several speciality dishes I had not encountered before. We decided to take the chef's advice and he chose a delicious variety of starters and main courses. All of the food seemed extremely fresh and well cooked, with sharp, distinct flavours. Each curry had its own, very distinctive taste, appearnce and texture, rather than the homogenous selection of oily sludge that is on offer all too often.I cannot say that this was amongst the very best Indian meals I've eaten but it is certainly very good and head and shoulders above anything else I've had in Leighton Buzzard,

my Wife and I regularly visit this restaurant and are NEVER let down...The food is always prepared, cooked and presented to a high standard and full of flavour.I totally recommend the Aloo Dhan (Chef's Specials). The combination of minced lamb and tandori chicken are "off the hook". I never get bored of eating it..My wife had the Chilli Garlic Chicken Bhuna...total winner!! Added to that side orders we had the whole meal was superb and we always leave stuffed and happy.Added to the food the staff are very friendly and attentive.I always recommend this restaurant to friends and family, and the recommendation is always "on the money".You have to try it...

I may be slightly biased cos i have used this restaurant for years but every now and again i visit a different one just for a change and i always wish i didn't...The manager has got this restaurant just right...whether you go for the Sunday buffet, a mid week meal or a slap up Saturday night treat - the food and the service is 100%...Thats the reason i eat here time and time again...If you have never been then book a table and go enjoy the best Indian Restaurant in Leighton Buzzard...

Have been going to the New Himalaya for the past 20+years not only to eat in the restaurant but as a take away as well. Have to say best Indian restaurant I've been to (locally). Good atmosphere, friendly attentive staff.

My family & I have been eating at this restaurant for around 15 years.The food is absolutely excellent. Choice is superb and even if you fancy a dish that is not on the menu the chef is very happy to accommodate.The prices are good and are good value for money. I totally recommend my absolute favourites, - Alloo Dhan, Mater Paneer and Himalaya Naan ( garlic, chilli & Keena)As all the food is cooked freshly to order so the service can be a little slow, but nothing to cause any frustration.

We went there for the Buffet on Sundays from 1pm onwards. The food was really amazing and hot. 😋😋😋 It was not a huge selection but there was something for everyone and proper tasty. The lamb balti was my favourite and the lamb just fell apart. Chicken Korma and Tikka Masala were fab too. There was also a Chicken Naga but was too much of a wimp to try lol 😆. Everything was kept hot and refilled a the time. Onion Bahji and naan, rice, Bombay potato and veg balti - all very nice too. It did not effect us but the restaurant is on the second floor and has no other access than stairs. But we will be back. Thank you for a fab time ❤️

Im unhappy with my order. Unfortunately due to ordering as a guest I've had trouble accessing this order. Unfortunately the entire order was disposed of as completely inedible. Completely burnt and swimming in greese.

Went there the first Saturday after the relaunch as Sahil’s Spice, was pleased to see the changes in the decor, my wife and I had the mixed platter starter and our son went for the Lamb samosa, both were delicious and well presented. I went for a standard main a Chicken Dansak which was spot on, the wife had South Indian Garlic Chilli which was delicious, my son normally likes it a hot Naga decided to try the Royal Masala which is a Masala but made with a Naga chilli sauce it was delightful combination and he thought must have again in the future, the various vegetables and rices dishes we had was very good, the Garlic + Chilli Nans also good. Service was a little erratic, but to be honest it didn’t bother us the whole experience was superb.
