A hidden gem! The food here is outstanding. Im so amazed there isnt a line out the door. Incredible flavors. We especially loved the “Lamb Boti Kabob”. It came sizzling with surprisingly delicious vegetables.

Ok Gringos… this place ROCKS! It’s super casual, very friendly, reasonably priced and the food is DELICIOUS! Each entree you order you tell them how hot you want the dish on a scale of 1 to 10. I like spicy, and we got level six on everything. It was perfect go higher if you dare. Bottom line, check this place out, it’s family run. The three guys in the picture run the show and I love this place.

Ordered the lamb tikka masala, number 5 in hotness (1 to 10) was prefect. Not too spicy, perfectly flavored. Garlic cilantro naan was really good with it. Highly recommend!

Best Himalayan food I’ve had in a while. This joint knows how to spice things up and add lots of flavors . Their cilantro garlic naan was amazeballs. The soups were incredible. We tried the a little bit of everything and nothing disappointed .

Tried Himalayan Sherpa Cuisine in Carlsbad recently and overall had a great experience! The **lassi** was excellent—refreshing, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. The **choila** really stood out with its bold, smoky flavors and tender meat—definitely a highlight of the meal, however a spice level 7, it was intensely hot! If you're not used to that level of heat, I highly recommend asking for a 3 or 4 instead. The **chicken tikka**, on the other hand, was decent but lacked that extra punch or char you’d expect. We also tried the momo (dumplings)-they were juicy and well-cooked, but the flavor felt like it was missing a layer, maybe a more robust dipping sauce or spiced filling could have elevated it. Service was friendly and the atmosphere cozy. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving authentic Nepali flavors, just be mindful of the spice scale!
