Himalayan Cafe - Pasadena

The staff was quite unfriendly, and I felt like I was a nuisance throughout my visit. While the restaurant's decor is lovely, the cleanliness leaves something to be desired. I recommend trying the naans and momos, which were both very tasty. However, I would advise against ordering the curry or biryani, as they don't serve what is listed on the menu.

We have been visiting this restaurant for years, but our last two experiences were disappointing. The food lacked any flavor. Like many others, we noticed that prices have increased while portion sizes have decreased. The Mango Lassi, which used to be served in a regular-sized cup, now comes in a smaller, child-sized cup but at a higher price. Mint Leaf offers a much better experience at the same price.

The momos were fantastic! The service was excellent too. The only downside was that the so-called "spicy" food wasn’t spicy at all, but everything else was wonderful!

Everything can be made vegan, and it was all absolutely delicious! We began with momos, which had a wonderful texture, and the sauce was fantastic. We ordered three curries and a biryani, each with its own unique flavor, and we truly enjoyed every bite. The portion sizes were quite generous, so we ended up taking the leftovers home for dinner.

The restaurant offers comfortable seating, prompt service, and delicious dishes such as Himalayan samosas, Daal (lentil) soup, Bhindi Tareeko, and Garlic Naan.
