Northern Himalayan Café — Restaurant in North Bay

Disappointing Experience – Not Authentic at All

We were genuinely excited to support a Nepali restaurant and were looking forward to trying Northern Himalayan Cafe in North Bay. Sadly, the experience was a huge letdown.

The food was far from authentic — they pretend to be, but it's clearly not. We ordered Jhol Momo and were shocked to find it served with what seemed like chana tarkari ko jhol — nowhere close to the real thing. The Chilly Momo was just fried and tossed in soy sauce, no flavor or spice that resembles how it's actually supposed to be made.

To make things worse, the Sweet Lassi had a strange smell — almost like detergent, and the Aloo Chat? Let’s just say calling it chat is an insult. The Veg Platter priced at $20.99 was a total rip-off — bland, overpriced, and poorly presented.

Honestly, I don't blame the cook — I blame the owner. The owner should first explore other Nepali restaurants, create proper recipes, and ensure their team follows them. Without that, it’s just disappointing food served with a fake label of “authenticity.”

The ambiance was good, but good ambiance can’t make up for terrible taste. Please don’t waste your time or money here unless you want to leave disappointed like we did.

Northern Himalayan Café - A Delightful Experience of Authentic Nepalese Cuisine

My visit to the Northern Himalayan Café this afternoon was an absolute delight! As it was our groups first time dining there, we were unsure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised by the entire experience.

The food was nothing short of delicious. Each dish we tried was bursting with flavors and clearly made with fresh ingredients. The authenticity of the Nepalese cuisine was evident in every bite, transporting our taste buds straight to the Himalayas.

The atmosphere of the café was peaceful and inviting, providing the perfect setting to enjoy our meal. It was a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle, making our dining experience even more enjoyable.

What truly stood out was the exceptional service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful. They made us feel welcomed and were more than willing to answer our questions about the menu. Their kindness added a personal touch to our meal, making the afternoon even more special.

In summary, the Northern Himalayan Café offers an authentic Nepalese dining experience with a peaceful atmosphere. If you’re looking for delicious food, fresh ingredients, and top-notch service, this is the place to go. We will definitely be...
