Fresh and tasty food.They are primarily take out but do have a few tables to eat at. The tables are nice with comfortable leather chairs.Chicken momos in chili sauce were warm and satisfying. Gobi Manchurian had nice flavor and spice level without being too sweet as sometimes this dish can be at other places.Noodles had nice amount of chicken and veggies.Planning to go back and try the thadka on a cold day.Staff was very friendly and welcoming.

The food was takeaway. We ordered chicken fried rice and the food quantity was decent and the taste was also not that soy heavy. It was just rice with chicken flavour with mild hint of soy. Loved this style of cooking.

I really liked their vegetarian options. Their thukpa was very nice and its the only place Ive seen that has it so far. Momos were great. The paneer gravy was also good and on the tangier side. The garlic naan was not the best Ive had since its not the type where the garlic is embedded in the naan, its also quite small. Apart from that, no issues.

The Chicken Momo Dumplings and the Masala Tea really hit the spot. Had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Cauliflower Gobi, and Beef Curry too. Delicious!Chef Deepak and his wife were welcoming. I really enjoyed their hospitality. Awesome, coming from a Chef who cooked for Amber India and catered to many companies in the Bay Area. Really thankful for the experience.

Extremely healthy options. Google says temporarily closed but it is not. Tried a quinoa bowl and rice. Super tasty!! Chef was so friendly and came out to answer to any allergy concerns. Totally great experience!

Dropped into this place on a whim tonight after a visit to Coyote Hills nearby. Friendly folks, fast service, and seriously delicious Nepalese eats! The spicy chicken chili momo and Himalayan chicken curry were well prepared and full of flavor. Staff was also super accommodating and offered to spice to our tastes. I opted for mild while my buddy went for medium. Glad we tried it as we’ll definitely be back!

We ordered vegetable momo, gobi manchurian and masala chai. Food was good. Chef was nice and made sure to check with us whether the food was tasting good. Food is served in paper plates .

I dont know why this place has so high rating. Based on the rating, I reached here and ordered few items. Chicken fried rice - it was more like home made pulao, even vegetables were not cut properly, full of red sauce, bad quality of rice. Thukpa - I think they made entire noodle (I ordered chicken noodle as well) in one go and towards end they just added some water in half of the portion. Chilli chicken - it was sour, lots of vinegar. I can not say this dish chilli chicken. Please make sure to adjust your expectation accordingly before ordering from this place. Complete waste of money and time, you wont be able to finish the food. I threw almost half portion of each dish.

We happened to stumble upon this restaurant and our only regret was not finding it sooner! The food is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Tons of vegan and vegetarian options. They are take-out only — so know that before you go.Our favorites are the thupka, dry noodles, and the chili paneer. But everything we have had is so good!

Stale buffet items from the day before. Leathery chicken, stale veggies. Biryani not fresh at all. Same high price, old stale food. Used plates piling up on the table. Nobody came up to bus them. Standard and quality of prepared dishes way down from 4-5 years ago and still sliding!!

Everest chicken curry had uncooked and dry or may be old chicken. Rice was very dry. Never going back to this place.

The chicken momos were great. The shrimp fried rice and egg noodles were just alright- a bit bland even when asked for extra spicy level. However, the food seems fresh and hot when given!

We came near closing time on a Sunday and the owner graciously opened the restaurant back up for us and called the staff back in.The food that we ordered and that which was recommended to us was excellent in its taste and variety. A superb place to enjoy South Asian cuisine. Everyone was looked after in our party; vegetarians, meat-eaters and gluten-free.

The pictures and menu were really deceptive on this listing. It looks like a nice sit down restaurant with well plated dishes and the 4.7 star rating led us to believe it would be a suitable place for a nice double date. The reality was that it’s in a fairly seedy strip mall, they have no AC, and the dishes come out on paper trays with a couple of paper plates being left on the table. The service was lackluster at best and the food was only ok. Overall it was a very disappointing experience. It’s probably fine for picking up a quick carry out lunch but we found the listing to be very misleading in our case.

Hope you are well, whomever is reading this! So glad Mr. Deepak offers Vegan plant based food here! Its hard to find good vegan food and glad I am very grateful its nearby my work place in Newark! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a very nice young lady. Very attentive to my dietary request. I was hoping for a low carb vegan keto friendly meal and they recommended the vegan mushroom vegetable curry. And it was AMAZING!! Totally recommend this place! 11 out of 11 rating! Try and you will find out the magical wonders in his food!Thanks again and looking forward to tasting other delicious vegan dishes!NamasteMichael Aura Tse

Some of the best food weve ever had!!! We are both vegan and were thrilled to find many vegan options. We enjoyed the momos, roti, vegan curries and tofu. But dont worry, there are food options for all types of diets (including meat of course)The portions were perfect. The atmosphere is simple, nothing fancy. The owners are extremely passionate about what theyre doing. We left with full bellies and happy hearts.

If you like tomato paste, tomatoes, strained tomatoes and pureed tomatoes all in one dish for your curry base, this is the restaurant to go to. You will see red everywhere in your food And if you like small skimpy shrimp, about the size of a fingernail in pretty much the same red, red and red tomatoey curry, then this is the place to go to. Its one of those go once and done type of places. Sadly of 200+ Indian restaurants in Fremont/Union City/Newark area, not one appears to stand out. Thought this one did, but back to hoping someone opens a real restaurant that really has good food that can be called justifiable Indian cuisine. This Tomato House aint the one! Back to the drawing board!

Living in Asia most of my life, Himalayan Chef Kitchen is the most tasty, light and healthy Himalayan cuisine (momos; curries) I have had. This place deserves to succeed and you deserve to give this place at least a try :)

Really good momos! We had both the veg and the chicken. I would say the veg were better but the chicken were a close second. The sauce they gave with the momos was perfectly spicy as well. Definitely coming back.

Amazing food! We ordered momo, thukpa and fried rice and I have to say it had the local Nepalese taste. Would definitely recommend this place and I am gonna keep going back for sure. Oh btw, if you are not so much into spicy food, order “mild”.

Delicious. Incredible. I had the chili, garlic naan, rice, and sweet yogurt. It is all delicious. The chili is packed with flavor and familiar Himalayan spice, deliciously tender beef, and a variety of vegetables. Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!!

Ordered the beef curry and chicken curry. Both tasted great, beef was tender, sauce was very flavorful. Chicken curry had a lighter taste and was also very good.

We’ve been slowly eating our way through the menu to decide what we want for lunches, and we’ve decided we love everything enough to say we’ll take anything. Can’t wait to share this gem with family and friends! I always feel like I did good for my body and palate after eating here.

Good food, freshly made and nicely served, but significant difference between the menu and actual price - old menu cards needs to be replaced with the new one.
