Himalayas Indian Restaurant

Himalayas is on our Favoriate list

by s.ccabrera at Citysearch

We have gone to this restaurant for over 15 years and it is almost always excellent. The prices are very fair and They include rice along with poppadom with the meal unlike so many other Indian restaurants. I am shocked that someone would expect something free because they saw a critter. This is the south and those little things are not uncommon at any restaurant. It is bad when everyone is always expecting something free for breathing. Anyhow i love this place and we have taken several friends over the years and they return as well. Give them a try and you will love it. Do not be turned off by the shabby shopping center

• Pros: Consistant,Personable and very fair pricing
• Cons: Non that I can think of

Overrated

by swehurricane at Citysearch

After reading the great reviews and seeing this restaurant on the "Best of Citysearch" my husband and I went there.

The food was really good but in the middle of dinner my husband noticed a "critter" (Citysearch won't allow me to type the appropriate name of the thing) behind the painting on the wall right next to us. He tried to handle it himself without causing a stir, then quietly told the wait staff trying not to cause a stir in the restaurant. It wasn't until I was hesitant to sit down at the same table again that they finally offered us a new table. All this would have been fine had they only offered us something to make up for it, like a small discount... Granted my husband never specifically asked for a discount but in a situation like that it's almost expected. We still had to pay full price for a dinner we were not able to fully enjoy. They could have gotten a pair of pretty happy customers out of it, instead we will never go back there again.

"Stuff" happens, they just didn't handle it well.

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Service, Hygiene

Pretty Good place!

by WhoMe12334 at Citysearch

I really love the food at this place. I have been a regular customer for a few years now and in general I would recommend this place. Unfortuantely they really could use some lessons in customer service. When I first started going I didn't really feel all that welcome and it seemed almost like the staff didn't like me. After going more frequently (couldn't give up the food) though I started talking to them and the guys are actually pretty friendly. I don't they are just uncomfortable at the beginning but I think are pretty decent once you get to know them. They go out of their way to make me special dishes now, and have just been really nice.

Overall though I think it's worth it, especially now.

Himalaya Restaurent

by RahulC at Citysearch

In spite of being a regular customer, my wife and I were refused to have our food inside the restaurant because we only ordered Samosas and Tea. We were told that it was fine dining restaurant and were asked to carry out the food even when we were the only customers in the restaurant at that time. We hail from a place where a guest is treated as a god and I am as proud of my culture and traditions as I am of my pride and dignity specially when it happened in front of my wife who happens to be Spanish and since I always spoke so high about our culture, values and traditions.

I want to share my experience to any Indian family so that they know what to expect.

Great food and service

by frozennose at Citysearch

We have been going to this restaurant for several years and have never had a bad meal.We've introduced many friends to Indian food here and they have all loved the experience. The wait staff knows us and always greet us in a friendly manner and on one occasion even opened the doors early because they saw us sitting in the parking lot.

• Cons: The Naan can be a little burned at times

Best Indian food in Atlanta

by pamway at Citysearch

We have gone to this resturant for years enjoying the food and excellent service. The staff know us and treat us with special attention. Recently we dined with friends that had never had Indian food. They enjoyed the food and said they would definetly come back. I recommend the beef curry medium hot. Having been to a lot of Indian resturants in the US and in the UK we know Indian fare and this is some of the finest. Well done gentlemen.

• Pros: Great parking, good courses served in a timely manner
• Cons: none

Their service was dismal

by geekybiz at Citysearch

The service at the restaurant was too pathetic. We were in the restaurant around 9:30 PM (which is not very late) but while we were having the main course, we were asked if we wanted ice-creams. When we said that we'll let them know once we had our main course - they said we need to tell since they were closing.

After this, the waiter got the bill while 3 of 4 of us were still having the main course! Then, as I was just having a look at the total while I had put my credit card in - he pulled away the bill from my hand. Disgusted by this behavior, I decided not to give any tip. So after I signed my bill, he came asking for the tip and I told him the problem.

And his reply was - "Please dont come to this restaurant again. We wont let you in".

Pathetic.. I must say..

• Pros: Food was alright
• Cons: They need to know courtesy..

Excellent service every time

by carolelast at Citysearch

I am a regular visitor to Himalayas and have found this to be the best Indian Restaurant that I have tried in Atlanta. The service is always good and the food excellent. Today, for the first time we tried the buffet lunch. It was far superior to it's local competitors for this reason... they concentrate on QUALITY not quantity. There were not many dishes to choose from, but the dishes that were there were very, very good. We have sampled buffet lunches at other places and been disappointed. The tandoori chicken and beef curry were superb. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and get my vote as a Brit (whose unofficial national dish is Indian curry in the UK!).
