"I ordered the chicken biryani ($15) and gulab jamun ($4). Unfortunately, the biryani was not at all like authentic biryani—it felt more like a “cavity” dish. So, if you’re coming here hoping for genuine Himalayan biryani, you might be disappointed. However, I still enjoyed the flavor; the spices were rich and well-balanced, with just the right amount of heat. The portion was decent— I even placed my sunglasses and spoons next to it for scale. As for the gulab jamun, it was tasty, but quite small, with only two pieces! I mean, you really can't go wrong with serving more than just two tiny ones, right?"

The food was fantastic! I absolutely loved the momos and lamb curry. The chef is from Bhutan, which guarantees an authentic and heavenly flavor.

Delicious food and nice atmosphere, especially in the enclosed patio area. I've dined here twice recently once for lunch and once for dinner with a friend. While the food was great and the service friendly, be prepared to sit a while. Both times it wasa long wait for food as it appears they're short on staffing. That said, the staff that were there were very pleasant and doingtheir best. If you have the time, I definitely recommend for the food.

Ordered chicken Biryani $15) and Gulab jamun $4). The biryani was nothing like the real biryani, It was more of a ?Kabseh? dish. So if you come here looking for the real Himalayan biryani you?ll be disappointed. But I loved the spices nevertheless.The spices were rich and balanced, and had the right kick. Quantity was good I put my sunglasses and spoon forreference). Gulab jamun was good but extremely small in size. And only two balls!? I mean com?on you gotta break the duality,and the pun haha.
