New Himalayas in Manchester

This place is amazing and we will be back. A lovely Resturant where the staff are amazing and they don’t rush you they let you relax and have a good time. The quality of the food was amazing- so many different curries and the taste was amazing - thank you

I have eaten here twice recently and each time the food has been wonderful. Seems to be popular with locals. I shall definitely pay this restaurant a visit next time I am in the area.

I have been visiting for the past 20 years although not around the corner the 25 minute drive from Urmston to Levenshulme is worth it every time. Had an amazing meal with my husband for his birthday. It really is worth trying the food. So not run of the mill authentic beyond belief. My Salmon starter was exquisite. Lamb Red Fort, Chicken Dhansac main could go on but you should try for your selves.

I had a take away through an online provider and the sauce was bland and it didn’t taste fresh. This was my first order from them and also my last. Quite pricey as well, especially with the extra costs of the online provider. Menu isn’t that great either.

We love the food from this place - everything is so aromatic and cooked to perfection, and on top of it, it tastes very healthy and isn't as oily as other curry places. We also love the great vegetarian options - The Sag Paneer is divine! Great value, too. We are very grateful to have this restaurant here in Levenshulme.

We have just experienced the gourmet Banquet for 2 to celebrate my birthday.We have had this before so we are aware of what you get.Once again have to say the food was superb and the tastes excellant and would have to say probably the best I have had.It is great value and totally worth it and in the past there was enough for 4 people.On this occasion there was 3 of us and we have some left over for some lucky person tomorrow.We will be using you again and I would reccomend to anyone to try during these times of lockdown.

Me and my friend went for a midweek meal at New Himalayas. The service was lovely and the food absolutely delicious. Everything was tasty and there were a great range of Vegetarian and pescatarian options. Such good value for money too. Highly recommend!

I love the food here, always so fresh and tasty, reasonably priced. Service can be hit and miss, sometimes slow but the food more than makes up for it.

Myself and the other half visited for the first time yesterday for date night. On arrival we were a bit dubious as there was only 2 other couples in there but I'm so glad we did go in! Food was amazing. To start we had chicken momo (chicken stuffed dumplings in a spicy sauce) and lamb chops. They were both delicious and the lamb was cooked to perfection. For our mains we were spoilt for choice and couldn't decide so we went with a recommendation from the staff working there. We had a spicy chilli chicken dish and a spicy lamb dish with pilau rice and a paratha. They were both delicious and full of flavour. The staff were so friendly and welcoming i cannot wait to go back 😊

First time here since reopening after lockdown. Everything was in place for safety - better than any other restaurant I’ve been in. We had the Executive Banquet. Such amazing food and really great value. Took loads home. Highly recommended.

Went for a family meal with my parents who have been huge curry fans for 40 years and said this was the best curry they have had. I have to agree (though I have 20 years less on them!) Huge selection of tasty dishes, very reasonably priced and great atmosphere.

I stopped in because the bar looked good from the street (bar crawl). Th staff were lovely and frequently and welcoming to me. I ordered a dish. Simple fried rice with chicken. I have to say I’m stunned. For a plain enough looking place the food is amazing. The decor really does add to the place, particularly poignantly because the Nepalese flavours are evident in the dishes. Would definitely recommend!

I ordered chicken Noom and got 2 chicken 2 lamb. None the less after waiting that long you’d eat anything. Flavour was good but preferred the chicken. The phrase “ Ive basically waisted a whole Saturday sat it here” was often herd from the other side of the table. We got here at 8 pm and at 5 minutes to 10 we got our main courses, my lamb karahi was lovely but my partners mixed grill was raw and had to go back so i poetry almost finished my food by the time his came out ready. What bothers me is that all this came without even an apology and the waitress laughed when I said that chicken could kill him :/ Very disappointed.

We were looking for somewhere to eat and noticed it had a 5* food eating in the window so thought we’d try it. We have never eaten in Levenshulme before mainly because there are too many eating places to choose from. This place was small and fairly busy but we were shown to a table straight away and served quickly. The food was lovely, good variety of menu. Really enjoyed the the starter and Tandoori chicken on the bone. We had two drinks each starters and mains and it was £40 which I thought reasoned for a meal for two.

The choice at this restaurant goes far beyond the standard Indian restaurant fare which really makes it stand out. The food is really delicious too. I enjoyed spiced lamb chops and saag paneer. The paneer was some of the best I've tasted, in lovely large blocks and plenty of it too.I feel lucky to have this restaurant so close by.

He visto este restaurante desde lejos durante mucho tiempo, y he oído que era bueno de un antiguo residente de Levenshulme, que a menudo iba en el Royal Nawaab a través de la carretera.Fuimos a un cumpleaños de amigos en una noche de lunes, con alrededor de 10 personas en nuestra fiesta.Podríamos haber elegido uno de los increíbles banquetes que suenan, pero lamentablemente nadie en nuestro grupo, aparte de mí, estaba interesado en estos, lo que parecía increíble y con una buena relación calidad-precio.Tuvimos poppadums, que nos encontramos con chutney de cebolla promedio, una buena raitia y chutney de mango.El menú es nepalés, pero también ofrece una variedad de platos caseros con curry indio.Nadie en nuestro grupo, aparte de mí, buscaba entrantes, lo que incluía algunos entrantes nepaleses tradicionales.Ordené el Harey Massley Gohst, que según el menú fue calificado como 2 chiles con chiles verdes en el plato. Este fue un plato de cordero que tenía un montón de cordero sabroso. El plato no era picante en absoluto, probablemente la fuerza de un bhuna en el mejor de los casos así que un poco decepcionante ya que esperaba un plato picante. Tuve un plato de arroz con setas decente, y un delicioso keema nan caliente y sabroso que podría haber hecho con un poco más de carne.Pedí un acompañamiento de berenjena, que no parecía tener berenjena? . Creo que podrían haber confundido los platos, aunque era sabroso.Tomé cerveza gurkha en botellas, lo cual fue realmente agradable, aunque costó 4. Una botella que parecía un poco cara.En general, un restaurante decente. Volvería y probaría el banquete, buen servicio y buen ambiente.

The most delicious, tasty, fresh, flavour packed food you'll eat. The service can be a little slow, but who cares when the food is this good. A local institution for those that know about it.

This was our second visit to Himalayas and I can see this becoming a regular place for us . Lovely welcome on entry and we were seated quickly . We decided to go for the gourmet menu which for £13 each was amazing value . There was so much food ! All of it delicious from paneer , pakora , kebab etc as a starter. The main had a veg curry , lamb and to chicken plus daal , rice and naan! People have commented on how slow the service is but I don’t think it is at all when everything is cooked from scratch . Really enjoyed our meal , thank you

Always delicious ! The starters are amazing and everything tastes so fresh. Service can be slow, but the food is worth the wait.

This is a real Levenshulme gem, the original and the best. I'd even argue that it's the best Nepalese in Manchester. Fantastic food with loads of veggie options - I highly recommend the khazana-e-lazzat. Alas, I can no longer eat it since going vegan but I've been well looked after there as a vegan too. The panchmeal dhal never fails either. Service can be a little slow sometimes but it's all part of the Himalaya charm, just relax. I've been going there for over 15 years now and the food is consistently good so it's always worth it.

Visitamos el viernes, después de un descanso prolongado. El menú parecía haber sido actualizado, con una serie de platos que no había visto antes. Muchas opciones vegetarianas, incluidas versiones vegetarianas de todos los curries favoritos y algunos nuevos. (¡Si no ve una opción vegetariana mencionada, intente preguntar!). Mi veg Kerala fue excelente, como era veg tikka masala de mi compañero. El precio es muy razonable. Este lugar sigue siendo el lugar para ir en Levenshulme, (a menos que esté buscando una sala de banquetes masiva y servicio de comidas en masa)

it was good food and service was also good. The food was good quaity and service was excellent. There needs to be some more variety of veggie dishes

Everytime my wife and I travel to manchester we save ourselves for a feast here. Consistently fresh and perfectly cooked food. Lovely service too. Highly recommend!!

Debe ser un par de años desde nuestra última visita, pero el Nuevo Himalayas es aún tan bien como recuerdo. No soy un gran fan de altamente condimentadas comidas calientes, pero aquí se puede apreciar los sabores, con lo suficiente de una patada, pero no tienen que llegar para la leche! Estábamos vagos y ordenados el banquete y no nos decepcionó, el primer plato era abundante, con un montón de sabor y la red también eran deliciosos. Terminamos con nuestras sobras para llevar lejos y solo dirigido el kulfi! No es un lugar para ir si estás en un apuro, pero yo creo que eso contribuye a la noche y sabes la comida es fresca, el servicio era amable y profesional. Se nos había olvidado lo mucho que me gustó este lugar y hemos reservado para volver con amigos pronto.

Fantastic food, excellent service and very reasonable. If you're looking for a great menu, loads of choice then this is the place. Highly recommended this restaurant.

This restaurant is a rare gem in Levenshulme . The food is exceptionally tasty and fresh at a reasonable price.

Himalayas have been our local curry house for years. Great food, not too spicy, just right. Cosy and intimate even though we mostly use it for take away.

Lots of choice, really tasty and well cooked food and lovely staff. As others have said it took a little while for the food to come but totally worth it!

In the absence of a table at Royal Nawaab, we came to New Himalayas. Seems it was a slow night though.

Went here on Saturday night with 6 of my mates and this place has been a staple venue over the years of living in Manchester / Stockport. Pound for pound the best curry house in Manchester. my only advice is to have Chicken Chilli for starters. Service isn't the quickest because everything is delicately made from scratch, you'll notice how the curries have no excess oil at the bottom of the bowls

Cake here with my man and a friend of ours. It was lovely! We got all veggie. The pakoras were very nicely seasoned. Everything was good! I think they cook for a British palate because we got food with one and two chilis on the menu, and we're afraid to get the foods marked with 3 chilis thinking it'd be too spicy, but I found the mild and medium to be not spicy at all. Of you like spicy, get the hot option!

Consistantly well prepared dishes. Must be one of the best restaurants in Manchester. Check out their special chicken curry. Yummy

Not normally one to write reviews but thought I cannot pass this moment without commenting.

Hemos estado viniendo a y recomendar este restaurante hace un par de años. La comida es deliciosa. El servicio puede ser a veces un poco lento pero cuando fuimos el sábado por la noche los camareros era atento y amable, y la comida llegó rápidamente. La decoración está un poco anticuada, pero sin duda lo recomendaría.

Estado viniendo aquí durante años, siempre genial y comida sabrosa, servicio amable, niños dijeron los helados y el resto de la cena son deliciosas.

Sólo tenía mi primera comida allí, ya que nunca me apetecía como desde fuera no parece muy atractiva, pero que ojalá hubiera visitado antes, ya que la comida era increíble. No puedo esperar a volver y probar algo como el menú parecía tan bueno 😀

No hay muchos restaurantes indios y nepalíes en moda y prometedora Levenshulme. Pero la nueva Himalayas es encantador, amable, buena comida auténtica, así como una gran relación calidad-precio.

Abbiamo preso la cena da asporto e cenato a casa di amici. Cibo indiano nella media, nulla di eccezionale.

El nuevo Himlaya no parece excepcional pero en calidad de la comida y la calidez de la acogida es excepcional. El menú tiene una variedad de platos de Nepal además de los curry habituales. Yo particularmente recomendado el mezclado verduras pakora de arranque y su salsas - el kebabs y samosas normalmente elegir son muy buenas, pero las verduras pakora es excepcional. Karakeema - un picada en vez de cordero picada es excepcional y raro, no muy caliente, muy bien condimentadas. Algo más caliente prueba el Tickey Jinghey - gambas en una deliciosa salsa rica. No es la mejor opción para una comida rápida como servicio puede ser un poco lento, pero se obtiene una comida hermosa recién preparado y tiempo para relajarse con una cerveza - de nuevo, sólo un gurkha algo diferente, incluso si es hecho bajo licencia en el REINO UNIDO.

An intimidiatingly large and varied menu of Nepalese and Indian specialities, always beautifully prepared and full on delicious. Unfussy, friendly service too. Frankly this place has ruined us for other curry houses and takeaways in Manchester. Great authentic food, whether you sit in or take it home. Never had a bad meal here (and at this point we've been A LOT).

Great service and the staff were very welcoming. Service could have been faster but made why rush things?The xmas set meal was a nice surprise, we got to try everything on it!

The decor is lacking slightly but the food and friendly service more than makes up for it. From my experience the takeaway is just as good but expect to wait at least an hour.

Takeaway in total took 2.5 hours to get from phone to plate. Ordering was fine, but I expected trouble. Mishap over delivery, had to ring them up but they couldn't understand me. In the end I had to walk round the block to collect. Vegi Jalfrezi was, :"fledging with flavoursome fleg and veg' and the chicken Tikka masala was forgettable to the point where I put it in the bin after 1 mouthful as I literally forgot I was eating it. Would not return. Find alternative. Live better for less.

I am a local & regular visitor to the Himalayas for a curry. This has to be one of the best places to eat if you are after freshly prepared tasty dishes that you won't find on other menus! I have never been disappointed with my choices. I would advise that service can be slow, especially when they're busy ..just be prepared for that. A doggy bag at the end of the meal is a must if I haven't managed to polish it all off! The toilets have been upgraded too. Much better option than the big banqueting place opposite!

We've been coming here every time we get a babysitter, which isn't often enough! The food is fabulous, the chooza makhani is the best butter chicken we've ever had and the starters are pretty special too. We had the lamb chops, sizzling prawns and deep fried paneer between us, then chooza makhani with peshwari naan, paratha, and rice. We had to be rolled out of there, very full but very happy. The Gurkha beer is also good.The owners have redecorated since we last visited, and all looking nice. Not that decor would ever put us off, the food is to die for and if I ever have a last meal request, this will be it :)

Cannot fault this place, food was absolutely impeccable. This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend and it went above and beyond expectations! Enjoyed from start to finish. So many flavours and so much to choose from! We've literally just left and I already can't wait to go back!

This was a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and generous quantities. After we arrived and ordered, a friend stopped at our table to say hello, and told us that they found the food superb. I couldn't agree more. The service was excellent, very friendly, polite, prompt with attention to detail. I certainly recommend the restaurant and will both recommend it to friends and go again! It is opened from 5:30 pm till 11:30 pm and till 12:30 am on weekends.

I have been going to this restaurant for at least 8-9 years and I can't bring myself to go anywhere else for a meal out. It's not got lavish furnishings or decor. You can go dressed casual and you can feel really relaxed and very welcomed. My husband and I must of had nearly all the menu and each and every one are different and the abundance of spices are mind blowing. I can't bring myself to even go out and a have a meal anywhere else as everywhere else doesn't excite me. The banquet for two is so good and all food/dishes are such a good price. We always end up taking what is left home as there is so much. Raj, Sophie and Ravi are the hub of this gem and should probably do more to get this restaurant on the map ! I have eaten at many, many Indian restaurants throughout the country and Manchester and not one I can compare too as many places are all the same! the use of artificial colours, all dishes tasting and looking the same, no care with the spices they use (that's if they use actual fresh spices !!) making dishes too hot is the norm. Authentic Indian food shouldn't be hot. You need to taste the spices !!The New Himalaya's, this special Nepalese restaurant is the pinnacle of freshly made curries and Nepalese dishes. You will definitely want to go back again. Please try

This is one of the best curry houses in Manchester in my opinion. The service is a bit slow but the food more than makes up for it. Delicious, fresh and plenty of it. If you can't decide what you want the banquet is great, even though just the starter nearly fills you up.

I'm reviewing again a year or so on from last year because this place is still great. It's not the fastest service or the best décor, but the food is excellent. If you want tasty food, cooked from scratch, then this is the place for you.

Firstly, food is above excellent. This place really is a hidden gem. The service given felt very much like a family run business, so very good. The only thing was how long it took to serve. I can understand as everything we had was cooked to perfection and worth waiting for. Decor was also a tad random, but if you like a well cooked, family ran atmosphere, then please go. I've been 4 times now and tried various things. I've never left disappointed.

It was the fourth time that I have been to this restaurant so I felt it was time to write a review, and echo the sentiments of a lot of the people that go here. This restaurant is somewhere to go and take your time over a meal, and appreciate the quality of the food that has been prepared for you. My brother is notoriously fussy about eating Indian/Nepali food anywhere other than his favourite place in Glasgow, but he said that New Himalayas was more than equal to this high standard. All the food was flavoursome, the tandoori salmon becoming a welcome addition to the dishes that I know I will enjoy. The amazing, slightly deconstructed onion bhajis even better - maybe the best I have ever had.Again with most of the places I have really enjoyed eating at, it is the atmosphere created by the people who work there that really puts the polish on eating out. Everyone was really lovely, and happy to accommodate our requests to take leftovers home. If you are in Lev, make sure to go there, it's easily my favourite place to eat Indian food in Manchester.

My boyfriend and I went for a meal on Monday evening. My boyfriend is vegan and I am a meat eater so we had a variety of dishes and all were absolutely delicious. I would go as far as saying this is the best curry we have ever tasted....... now that's a recommendation! The service was very attentive and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Lots of little extra bits to accompany meals and a great selection of beers. A truly fantastic meal, not your average curry. I would say that it takes a little longer than usual to cook but this is reflected in the freshness and flavours of the dishes - it is not Macdonalds (thankfully) so we were very happy knowing that we were getting top notch food! We will be back..... a lot! Thank you New Himalayas!

Went to a restaurant in my old part of town and it was great. All the food was cooked from scratch so prepare to wait ut it is well worth it.

Visited here for the first time on Easter Monday for a family meal. We all ordered different starters and mains, and all came out at the right time. The wait for food was a little longer than you would normally expect, but you can tell this is because the food is prepared fresh to order and so it is well worth the extra ten minutes. The staff were friendly and happy to accommodate our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be returning.

I've been eating at this family run restaurant since it opened and I have never had a bad meal.Freshly cooked authentic Nepalese food which always tastes wonderful. Great value for money too.

Been here three times now and impressed each time. It really doesn't look anything special from the outside, but it's definitely worth investigating if you've never tried Nepalese food - which struck me as being similar to Indian, but with more refined and subtle flavours. The banquet menu in particular is great value and gives you a good mixture of different things to try. The restaurant does get extremely busy sometimes, and our Friday night visit took an age, so I'd try to go during the week if possible. Definitely worth seeking out for something different. Try the Gurkha beer, too.

Been coming here for a few years, this place can't be beat! The food the service Value for money,authentic I cook a lot of curry's at home and this is my favourite...There doing a bit if modernisation at the moment starting with the brand new toilets!.

Great curries, I love the different chefs recommendation dishes that you can't get anywhere else. Love the drink choice too, the gurka beers make a nice change

very good meal shame about all the comdoms on the floor from the massage parlour next to it we have a great meal but when we came out there was comdoms all over the floor from a massage parlour next to it

Attended a pre-booked party for about a dozen people. A special menu had been arranged and it was special. The starters were very good with probably the best onion bhaji I have eaten. A selection of mains were served with the butter chicken being excellent. I have been to this restaurant a couple of times before and it was always pretty good, but this time the cheffing was a whole league up.

This is a nice place to go for an average/decent curry, however don't go if you're in a big group or in a hurry because the service is incredibly slow. I wondered at times what all the staff were doing because there was so much waiting between arriving/ordering/receiving food and between asking for the bill and it coming! That said, the food is ok and portions are decent.

This is our go-to curry house in the area. The food is allways great, full of flavour, and there's service with a smile.

Always excellent tasty food, consistent, friendly and reasonable cost. You will be suprised how great the food it. Worth a trip too. Highly highly recommended xx

Three of us had the wonderful mixed grill. They were absolutely gorgeous. So tasty . You must try! One had chicken tikka for starter - best I've had in a long time! We all shared lamb biryani and lamb madras for main courses. Really enjoyable, just the right amount of heat and flavour. Had a couple bottles of white wine too. The atmosphere was really conducive to chatting with mates, music in the background just right volume. Plenty of other people in the restaurant that night but service was still great. Even the staff had time for a few quick chats. Overall a great place for eating and socialising with friends . Would definitely recommend a visit! What are you waiting for... mmm

Himalaya's restaurant is based in Levenshulme on Stockport Road. The outside of the restaurant looks a bit rough around the edges, and when you get in side it is pretty much the same. However the food that is presented is much better then you would imagine. I have been here quite a few times because it does a good selection of veggie and vegan options. I would highly recommend the onion bhaji's they are the best I have ever had!! freshly cooked and not like your normal heavy bhaji... light and crispy with cumin and fennel seeds within...such a treat! I would say it is better to eat in here because your food is fresher and I had the bhaji's to take away once and they went a bit soggy in the container. The bhaji's come with 3 lovely sauces and were presented in large modern white plates with a fresh salad.I had a vegetable jalfrazi which again was very nice. I have had a few curries from here and they were all nice. Not the best curry I have ever had, but it was worth the money for the time and effort it saved me from having to cook!!I have been here with friends, family and with my boyfriend. It is a place you would go if you don't want to get dressed up and make much effort, however if you are looking for a classy restaurant, this may not be the place for you. It seems quite dark inside and in need of modernisation. I rated the restaurant as average because although the food is good, the restaurant is in need of decoration and a bit of TLC.

Seven of us were out for a friend's Birthday on a Saturday night in Levenshulme as this is where most of us live. We were hoping to go to Nawaab but there was an hour and half wait so we tried here. I think in future we will go here instead as we all agreed the food was much nicer! You can order the 2 course banquet meal for £13.95 or we opted for the 3 courses as we wanted ice cream. The popadoms were crisp and all the sauces disappeared very fast. We waited about 15 minutes for the starters but they were almost a meal on their own.The selection was given to us altogether in a bowl with side salad. There was a small lamb kebab, very crisp and tasty onion bhaji, and three other 2-bite sized tasty things. I am sorry I don't remember what they were, we had been drinking before hand. This is also another plus point, the bar had a selection of bottled ales available and it made a nice change from the usual lager. I nipped to the loo between courses and the ladies was very clean with these beautiful wide spout taps that made the water look like a waterfall.We were all given a plate with a small portion of rice to one side, cloves and cardamom pods poking out all over place! The dishes were mild lamb, spicy potato, mild potato and veg, mid spice prawn, spicy chicken, mild chicken...that's as far as my memory goes, I think there was one more. We had baskets of naan bread quarters, but not the thick dough type of naan you get in a super market, these were thinner, plain and garlic mixed. We managed to clear 4 of the 7 dishes, and they were able to put the other three in containers to take home.The 3rd course was mango and pistachio kulfi. Ordered on it's own it has a pear shape, like and ice cream bombe, but in the banquet meal it came in a bowl and we got half and half drizzled with a bit of raspberry sauce. Ice cream van rather than fresh made but it was still nice. Including a boozy drink each it came to £20.75 per head so expect £25 if you have two drinks. You can order separate dishes as the banquet meal is a lot of food and is a min of 2 people so if you're not that hungry stick with single portions. Would be happy to go again and try the other dishes as I'm a huge fan of peshwari flavours but these would have cost a bit extra.

On entering the restaurant, there was a musty smell but I just thought it was because the building was rather old. The food was tasty and the banquet meal good value for money. My friends ordered a vegetarian dish and were served chicken. This was replaced on their dinner plate (cross-contamination?). At the end of the meal I went to the ladies and was quite shocked as both cubicles were very dirty, extremely run-down and infested with cob-webs. I dreaded to think what the kitchen looked like. For this reason alone I will not return.

Best takeaway we've had in years, authentic taste, reasonably priced and polite servjce. We will definitely be visiting again soon!

Cant beat this little place, great décor as well fantastic guy rag goes out of his way to prepare food to your requirements give it a try

There is a serious shortage of bona fide restaurants in Levenshulme. Dozens of takeaways, almost all bog standard, so forget them unlesss you are in a tearing hurry and do not care what you are feeding on.The New Himalayas is a standout in the area. I note other comments about the slow service, but if you want to relax over a quality meal you need look no further.Food is always fresh and tasty and the service is well up to scratch.Recommend the chicken shashlik.There is Indian beer on draught, but the bottled Gurkha is one of the best on the market in my opinion.Opposite is the Nawaab, said to be Britain's largest Indian restaurant, but it cannot begin to compare with this small family run establishment right across the road.I am fairly local, but would still be prepared to travel to find a place with such a high standard. This establishment deserves to be more widely known.

if you've come to Levenshulme for a curry at a well know all you can eat establishment, I would strongly encourage you to change your plans, cross the road and try New Himalayas instead.It's not as flashy, but who need a fountain anyway? The food is brilliant, with so much choice and generous portions you'll be spoilt for choice. I highly recommend the bhajis.

Nice place to meet up with friends, atmosphere is relax and friendly. Service is good and attentive. Outside is an understatement for a fabulous eating place, will go again and recommend to others.

My Auntie lives in the area and we have been going here for years! No matter what day of the week, take or way or eating in, the food is always amazing!! I get the same every time and it has never disappointed me! The staff are very friendly and very genuine, they always ask how family and friends are doing. My Auntie sometimes suggest that we try the Nawaab across the road but I can never bring myself to be so close to The New Himalayas and not be eating their delicious food. Some reviews say that the service is slow, this is only because it takes time to make spectacular food! They've also recently refurbished with new furniture and repainted, the place is looking fresh and smarter than ever! If you haven't been here before.. my advice is book a table! You have to try it. I can't wait for the next time we pop in x

Been here a few times now. The food is excellent.Have a couple of drinks before your meal cause everyhting is made fresh. The service might be slow but It is worth the wait. Thoroughly recommend this Restaurant. Great food, great staff.

We've eaten here quite a few times and have always enjoyed the food and overall experience. Service is friendly although it can be a little slow at times, particularly on a Friday or Saturday evening. It's not something that would put me off going again though.

My dad eats here regularly and recommended it while I was up visiting and boy was I not disappointed. The food is amazing, generous portions and really delicious fresh food. Highly recommended if you in the area

Went to the New Himalayas for a birthday meal. Having been a number of times we knew you have to wait as the food is cooked fresh. However only having half of your groups food (only 4 of us) delivered and then waiting 20 minutes for the rest to arrive is unacceptable. Then seeing other tables take priority over yours without explanation is a disgrace. Having to ask on two separate occasions for the remaining food only goes to highlight the shambolic ignorance of the rude and substandard staff serving. Completely ruined the evening and I would sincerely advise anyone reading this to avoid the New Himalayas at all costs.

My mum treated me to a meal here, and oh my how lucky I feel eating here as the food is outstanding, nicely prepared and presented delicious tasting food good portion sizes aswell. We had poppadoms with a good array of sauces, folded fried pancake with prawns and tasty sauce, onion bhajis best I have ever eaten, rice and curry ( can't remember the name of my curry ) but oh my it was good infact one of the best I have tasted. nan bread with berries tasted divine.. really is fine qood quality food here. I can't wait to return as this place really knows how to please the taste buds. Service is great too.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend. I had phoned earlier to book a table, at 4pm, but only got an answering machine so left a message with my phone no, they never got back to me ! Desperate to get something to eat before my guests started arriving round the corner at the Klondyke club, ten of us sat down, there was only four others in at the time, so they weren't rushed off their feet. Well what can I say, I've never had such bad service in my life !! It was as though we weren't there ?? We had to ask a number of times for the menu, no one asked if we wanted a drink,usually the first thing one's asked,I had to ask again where my son's drink was ?, there was just No communication, it was as though they were pissed off that we were there or that they all seemed to be on valium or something ? Very weird ! I was told when the food did eventually arrive that it was good, I had to leave eating half an onion bajhi so i wouldn't be late for my guests......the scenario went on too long to write here, bickering between them included. I've never written a bad review and see they have many positive ones.......So if you have loads of time & don't mind sloppy inattentive service, but like a good curry I guess it's ok ?

We eat here regularly & love it!! Sophie and her family are a real gem in Levy & the food is consistently gorgeous. I have read some reviews that comment about the wait and, yes, it can take a while but the food is fresh and well worth the wait.........much better than food that has been cooked and then shoved in a microwave! They deliver too, which is a bonus!

Went for Christmas Day with my Girlfriend and was so impressed with the sevice and food. Had Momo starters wow very nice. Main meal was superb Tikka Rogan Josh whilst my partner had Tandoori chicken tikka . We will definitely be returning and recommending to our friends.

Regular curry venue. Food is always good but not a place to go to if you are in a hurry! Freshly prepared v tasty curries I always enjoy my meals here

Some friends and I got a takeaway from here last night. They are locals and swear by the place. I've been a couple of times and never been disappointed. Last night's chicken biryani tasted great but the sauce was a bit tepid and the rice a bit stodgy. That sounds like it was a let down but the taste more than made up for it. I'd definitely eat there again but I'd probably order a different dish next time. I'm just bad at making decisions.

This is somewhere I go often: the food is superb, but the last two times I've been, the service has been short of its usual relaxed friendliness. There seems to have been discord between those serving, the command of English of one waiter was very poor and the person in charge seemed harassed.

I won't go as far as saying this is the best curry in Manchester but it is excellent and a significant cut above standard curry restaurants. I have eaten there regularly for around 10 years and the standards have never dropped. The food is always freshly prepared and I don't think they have a bad meal on the menu. The specials are all great with favourites of mine being the Karakeema Lamb, Jalfrezi, momo's and Shashlik.

If decor is an important part of your dining experience, this isn't the place for you. I have now eaten here twice; and the decor could be improved upon. What you do get is a good neighbourhood curry house, serving good quality food. Two of our group are vegetarian and were very well catered for. We went for a banquet which was in the region of £13.95 per head. We got a good selection of starters and main dishes, with rice, nan bread and poppodums.

Firstly, I will be clear that the food here is absolutely delicious! And there are some unusual dishes on the menu that make it more than your average Indian restaurant.BUT, the last two times I've been we've waited at least an hour for food to arrive which makes me question whether the menu is too big. Drinks also arrived to the table after a wait on both occasions, and beers arrived about half an hour before lassi's and water.Service here has been inconsistent and the staff don't seem to worry to much about being efficient.... Again we waited ages for out bill to arrive.I just wish the Himalayas would get their act together and match the quality of their service with the fantastic quality of the food. For now, the experience of eating there was lengthy and frustrating

It reminded me of happier times in the 80's when fantastic service and a wonderful atmosphere could be soaked up at a leisurely pace... The food was excellent and the value outstanding. I had a Darl and surprising exquisite rice with vegetables. If you want genuine old school cooking that will leave you feeling fantastic this has to be the place :-)

Food lovely! - lamb chops to start were gorgeous and the vegetable pakora to start were v nice! Mains were really nice - packed with so much flavour and feasted really fresh! Would recommend the Ghurka beer!

Hidden gem, doesn't look like much from the outside but the food and the hosts are fantastic. Great value for money and can honestly say one of the best curry houses we've been to (been to a few!)Miles better then nawab opposite, would highly recommend. Keep up the good work!

I eat here regularly. 'Let's go for a curry' never means anywhere else! All food freshly cooked to order, so don't arrive really hungry as your meal may take a while ... but well worth any wait. Everyone I have taken here has been very impressed by the food and all have been keen to return. Some dishes you won't find anywhere else and the 'standards' are given a Nepali twist. The delicious vegetarian kofta and dhal makahni are so good they are addictive. Great meat and fish dishes too, and superior rice, pilau or steamed.This is not a smart restaurant but definitely one worth travelling for.

I don't normally write reviews, but I've registered for this site with the specific intention of praising The New Himalayas. Fresh, Nepalese food cooked to order. Made using natural, authentic ingredients that is full of flavour. The restaurant decor isn't the best I've ever encountered, although perfectly acceptable, but the food is most certainly exceptional. Fish curries, dhal, grilled meats are all created with taste in mind. Well worth a visit and excellent value. Service isn't always as rapid as one might be used to, but when you know everything is being cooked fresh and it tastes so delicious, you don't mind waiting. They also deliver in the Levenshulme area.

This restaurant is a must for those visiting the area, it is situated across the road from a big Indian Buffet style restaurant but is in a class of its own!! The restaurant is nothing too fancy but the food is made fresh upon ordering and the taste and quality clearly indicates that they use fresh and not frozen produce. You really need to try the king prawns either as a starter or a main - best prawn dishes ever!!! The service is very good and no big waiting time - the staff are there in the background when you need them but not intrusive at all - Excellent all round!!!

I've eaten here a few times recently and the food is very tasty and good value. Each dish has a different flavour and beats any curry I've had on the curry mile. This place should be full every night. Worth a trip to Levenshulme if you don't live there.

We've been here a couple of times now and the food has always been good. We've tried their banquet and there was more than enough to eat. We've felt looked after without the server hovering over us. Definitely happy to recommend this to friends.

We had a very good take-away. The momo starters (dumplings) were in a good thick tasty sauce, the samosa (came in 3) were prism shaped and thick with meat, and not greasy nor fatty, the dips with the poppadum's were excellent, especially the green puree of herbs. The chicken curry was very good, where the chicken was cut up small which added a nice texture, the thali (selection of 3 dishes) was very tasty especially the lamb in spinach. Normally Indian food, at least from my experience, tends to be served with an oil slick, but on this occasion it felt that you were eating just good food, well prepared. The rice that came with the Thali was fragrant and went very well with the curry too. The roti was nice and mopped up all the remnants of the sauces left over in the many aluminium containers nicely. The cold beer washed the lot down with ease. I don't know if it is one of the very best meals I have ever had, but it was good.

Himalayas is not a fancy restaurant - although this does not reflect on the food - it is different and lovely - the starters are huge - The Ghurka beer is great and authentic as is the the Lassi yogurt drink and massala tea - the price is great too under £50 for 2 people starters, mains, drinks, poppadoms and a night cap not too bad - we are local and definitely intend to use this hidden gem more regularly - had a great chilled out evening!

This place is a little gem and the family based staff are so accommodating!Leave the buffet across the road for people who don't appreciate quality food and tip your hats here (top grub)

We first came here because they were full at the buffet across the road and now ckme here any time we feel like a curry. The menu has the usual choices but a great variety of other dishes as well. The meals ae cooked from scratch ehich is brilliant for me because i am allergic to chillies and this is the only Asian restaurant i have been to where i have a choice if menu items. I have been to many curry mile restuarants where they either cannot offer me anything ir at best a Korma with no spices in it at all. food is goid value. we often have poppadoms, starter and main each with rice and breads and come hkme eith change from £25 and leftovers for lunch the next day Because meals are cooked from scratch don't expect a fast meal but the wait is well worth it.
