    My party of four had a wonderful dinner. We had never been here before and we were eager to try it based on the reviews we read on yelp.  Our meal and experience did not disappoint us at all! We will go back.

    Second time at Himalyi and it never disappoints! The tandoori prawns are delicious as was the chicken chili appetizer. I also really enjoyed the aloo manchurian but beware, it does have a kick to it! The service is also a standout here. They're so kind and friendly.
