Himalayan Cuisine SF — Restaurant in San Francisco

I recently visited a Nepali restaurant and had the pleasure of trying their Chicken Momo, Chilli Momo, and Samosa Chaat. The experience was a delightful journey through some of Nepal’s most beloved street foods.

Chicken Momo: The Chicken Momo was a highlight of the meal. The dumplings were perfectly steamed, with a delicate wrapper that held in the juicy, flavorful chicken filling. The spices were well-balanced, and the accompanying dipping sauce added a nice tangy kick.

For those who enjoy a bit of heat, the Chilli Momo is a must-try. The dumplings were pan-fried to perfection, giving them a crispy exterior, and then tossed in a spicy chili sauce that had the right amount of heat without overpowering the dish. The combination of textures and flavors made this dish stand out.

The Samosa Chaat was a pleasant surprise, with a vibrant mix of textures and flavors. The crispy samosas were smothered in tangy yogurt, tamarind chutney, and spicy chaat masala, creating a burst of flavors in every bite. The freshness of the herbs and the crunchiness of the sev on top added a nice contrast to the soft, spiced filling of the samosas.

Overall, this Nepali restaurant offered an authentic taste of Nepal with dishes that were both satisfying and flavorful. Whether you’re in the mood for something spicy, tangy, or just comforting, their menu has something to offer. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore...

We loved this place. LOTS of vegetarian options. Affordable. Perhaps best of all, owner is very nice.

Here are the things we got: Dahi puri- decent, a little sweet, but definitely better than at a lot of places Chana masala- authentic taste, not too much oil, loved it Malai kofta- i am an expert in this haha because I order it everywhere. It was actually delicious. Well made. We got it spicy and it was PERFECT Tandoori paneer kebab- My favorite dish. Very good. My friends got the chicken version and said that was dry- i don't know and i can't comment on it. But the paneer version was ON POINT. Veggie steamed momo- oK. Not my favorite. Definitely have had better momos before. Here i could recommend they work on some improvement. The chutney was also very similar in flavor to the momo, which might be why the combo wasn't good. A fresh flavorful spicy chutney might work better with these momos. Veggie chow mein- we got SPICY. my husband loved this, he said it was his fave. i couldn't eat it because it was too spicy for me, but what little i did eat was delicious Rice, naan, papadam were standard and good.

Overall very good restaurant, friendly people, and deserving of the 4.9 stars it...

I recently had my first dining experience at Himalayan Cuisine SF, and I’m already planning my next visit. From the moment I walked in, the warm and friendly atmosphere made me feel welcome, setting the tone for a truly memorable meal.

The food was absolutely flavorful — each and every bite bursting with authentic spices and rich, comforting taste. There’s a wide variety of dishes to choose from, making it easy for anyone to find something they’ll love, whether you're a meat lover or prefer vegetarian options. I especially appreciated how affordable everything was, considering the generous portions and high quality of ingredients.

What really stood out was how deeply the experience immersed me in Nepali culture — from the traditional decor to the thoughtfully crafted menu. This is more than just a meal; it’s a cultural experience that transports you straight to the Himalayas.

The service was excellent, too. The staff was kind, attentive, and eager to explain dishes to a first-timer like me.

If you’re in San Francisco and want a delicious, authentic, and affordable culinary adventure, Himalayan Cuisine SF is a must-do.
