Great food, great service, great ambience. The food is very similar to Indian food. Several of the dishes were advertised as typical Himalayan. They were all delicious. Plenty of parking in the rear

I need this place to be closer to home. There are 3 locations across Westchester and I found this one on Yelp since it was right between my meeting location and hotel. I happened to be in the area twice last week, so I had dinner at Himalaya both times. #winning! I love momos, so I decided to order those and the chili chicken during my first visit. I originally wanted the Nepali thali, but that's a pretty big pile of food and I was told by the very friendly staff that the momos are generously portioned. The chili chicken arrived first: sweet, spicy, a little crispy and slightly saucy. Here's the description: Roasted soft chicken & bell pepper marinated in ginger garlic. My description: absolutely delicious. The momos take a little longer to prepare, so they arrived just after I polished off the chicken appetizer. I had the "Momo set": two of each - chicken, beef, vegetable. They were all delicious, but the veggie were my personal favorite. There's a side dish of mild and hot sauces. Great flavors on both...but prepare yourself for the hot sauce! It's no joke and sooooo good! Lit my whole face on fire and I loved every minute of it. My second visit was 2 days later and I ordered the veg Nepali thali which includes curries, pickled veg, basmati rice and rice pudding. I ordered it spicy (regular, mild and spicy are the choices) and again, my whole head was on fire. It was perfect (but I like spice so be warned!). Since I was hangry from not eating all day, I also decided to try the Himalayan naan (stuffed with cashew, almond, raisin, cherry & coconut) and raita. The naan was sweet and a nice break from the heat of the curries. Raita was also delicious and provided some palette cooling before I hit some of the rice pudding. Prices are extremely reasonable, service is (as mentioned) friendly and it's spacious and clean with white tablecloths making it feel more upscale. There's live music certain evenings of the week and they do get busy on weekends (so they recommend reservations).

The food is outstanding, the staff is so friendly and helpful and the service went above and beyond what would normally be expected, even though this was all done by phone as my car was being repaired. I never had Himalayan food before, but it is now at the top of my list, as is Himalaya Scarsdale.

We started with the Rock Shrimp appetizer, Chicken Curry, Lamb Vindaloo, Chana Massala and Garlic Naan. I asked for some spice to be added to the Chicken Curry and it was great, the Chana Massala as well as the Rock Shrimp had great depth of flavor and I would order again. We were warned the Vindaloo is spicy, but it did not have the heat I expect in a Vindaloo dish. Next time I will let them know what we expect. I would highly recommend Himalaya and we will return to explore the menu further.

Great place for curries We usually start with the vegetable samosas which are always well prepared and stuffed with great mixture of vegetables and potatoes. Well seasoned with an ample sprinkle of Curry to finish them off they are great start to the meal. Tried the vegetable dumplings and they were also very tasty - quite filling and the vegetable paste was good We usually get the chana which is the chickpeas. We also have curried chickpeas at times but dishes are delicious well prepared with heat to your taste and deliciously spicy and full of flavour. Shrimp masala is the other go to dish which always comes across delicious. Sweet taste but accompanied with rice it works. Overall good experiences we always return.

Came here on a Friday night for dinner with some friends. They had nice live music! Really liked the ambiance. We could dine and still hear ourselves think! We decided to order a bunch of dishes and share a La family style. We ordered few types of bread, including garlic naan. The main thing I was looking forward to was the momos! We ordered the set of different flavors, which including chicken, beef and veggie. The desserts were also very tasty! My favorite was the rice pudding, I can't wait to come back here!
