Description

This restaurant has a mixed bag of reviews, with some customers not quite impressed by the food and atmosphere, while others absolutely love the experience. While some find the flavors lacking and the noise level a bit high, others rave about the delicious dishes like the Sherpa Chicken and the warm, friendly staff. The unique Himalayan cuisine seems to have won over many patrons, with recommendations for the bread and Sherpa Chicken dish. The decor is quirky and sets a great vibe, making it a popular spot for a lively meal out. Overall, it seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it kind of place, but definitely worth a try for those looking for a taste of Nepal in Brisbane.

When we walked into this place, the restaurant smelt amazing and the decor was so lovely. Seating is very cosy and close but also an intimate space which I really liked. My friends and I ordered a vegan entree plate for starters and everything on it was delicious and tasty. We then received our mains and the flavours were really great too. The amount of time food came out was just perfect not too slow and not too quick. Was very satisfied with the meal and overall experience! The menu has so many vegan and gluten free options so I highly recommend it if these are things you are looking for in a restaurant. Would definitely go back with a bigger group just so I can try more food!

The Himalayan is my go to girls catch up spot. BYO? Check. Vegetarian/GF/DF options? Check. Dim lighting so you can rock up sans makeup? Check. Damn delicious? DOUBLE CHECK. While I feel like we’ve tried every dish on the menu, we keep going back for the Himalayan Bread to start, followed by Mixed Entrées and a variety of mains which always include Sherpa Chicken. Sometimes our girl gang can get a bit rowdy after a few bottles of wine but the staff here are always lovely and accommodating we usually book one of the two long outside tables so as to not annoy anyone. Our tip if you forget your booze, don’t worry, there’s a bottle shop just a few stores down. And try to book ahead of time, this place is consistently packed!

We have been weekly regulars at this restaurant for most of this year. It is THE most consistent for exclent food and terrific service. Every dish is cooked to perfection and always using the freshest ingredients. We have tried most dishes now, but our top choices are: chilli bread with dipping sauce, the chicken stir-fry noodles, any of the curries, but especially the chicken ones, and the rice pudding dessert. If you haven't sat out the back, you haven't really dined here.

Cosy decor, flavourful dishes with beautifully matched spices and tender meat. Very busy during dinner but well worth the wait and reasonable prices for the area. I’ll definitely be heading back.
