Himalayan Sherpa Cuisine - La Costa

STAY AWAY CARLSBAD. RACIST STAFF AND SCAMMERS. This is for the Himalayan restaurant. I used to go to you guys all the time in person and online orders. But I’m fed up with your restaurant for two major reasons. They run a very stupid and cheap scam with their rice portions to save cents on the dollar as rice is the cheapest thing they serve. If you come with any more than one person instead of serving each dish with an individual side of rice. They serve it in a large communal bowl but the bowl is actually very shallow and offers less rice than two individual sides would. It’s significantly less than what would be served to two individuals that ordered. And when you request more rice they charge you extra for it even tho they say they will bring more if we need. And when you order more it comes in a smaller bowl than they normally serve their individual sides it’s a bowl that is barely the size of a tennis ball. When the owner reads this know that this scam is cheap and such a bad look for your restaurant and yes we noticed you’re not just gonna get away with it without people knowing. Secondly they take their sweet time serving food which is normal there and they rarely fill water or check on the table after serving food. Which is normal for them to be fair. But when I took my family from out of town there with my mother who is visibly Muslim and wearing a headscarf, they treated us like garbage, didn’t greet us for a while upon entry even tho there was literally only one other group of two in the entire place and took close to 45min to bring out the food. When they brought out the food the waitress had a terrible attitude and the food was insanely spicey. There are spice levels which I am familiar with as I’ve eaten there more times than I can count. I ordered lower spice levels for the table but received the hottest dishes I ever had form this restaurant. We had two small children with us who couldn’t even eat and got overwhelmed with the spice. IF I HADNT BEEN A REGULAR ID BLAME MYSLEF FOR NOT ORDERING LOWER SPICE BUT BECAUSE I AM A REGULAR I KNOW THEY HAD MALICIOUS INTENT TOWARD ME AND MY FAMILY. After complaining about the spice and how it’s bad for the kids they said sorry that’s what you ordered deal with it and then ignored my requests for water repeatedly. Even though like I said only two groups of people in the shop. And as I kept calling and waving for water every few minutes the waitress made a show of going to the other table and asking them how everything was and refilled their glasses with water with a devious smile and a side eye at our table. SHE WAS 100% RACIST AND I WILL NEVER EVER GIVE THEM ANOTHER CENT. IVE BROUGHT TENS OF FRIENDS THERE OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO AND WILL TELL ALL OF THEM TO ADD THIS SPOT TO THE BOYCOTT LIST. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED I REALLY LOVED YOUR PLACE BUT NOW I SEE HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE BASED ON YOUR ON PERSONAL PREJUDICES. This was the most embarrassing and disgusting display of racism my family and I have had to endure in years. CARLSBAD STAY AWAY.

Some of the best Indian food we’ve ever had. And the momos were fantastic. Really friendly service and a great dinner. Our first time to Carlsbad but when we return will make sure to dine here again. Kid-friendliness: My 9 year old picky eater ate everything and wants to go back.

I love Himalayan food, daal soup, chicken momo, vindaloo etc.They are very authentic, they are not as fast as the American standard but if you are used to European service which is also great but not rushed then you are fine!My experience was great. I hope when I come back it stays the same.

It's a blessing to have food like this in Carlsbad Village. We keep trying different dishes on each visit... the menu is enormous!!!

Based on 1 visit: 4.5 stars. Some of the food was excellent 5 stars, some 4. We really enjoyed the restaurant overall.
