I came here with my boyfriend for our 3 month anniversary. Don't let the exterior fool you. The inside is quaint and dimly lit to get an intimate atmosphere. I wished it was a little brighter though as it was quite hard to see the menu.
This was the second Nepalese restaurant I've been to, and it was quite good. The momos are to die for! I LOVE THEM!
We also got goat curry and it was ok. My boyfriend loved it. I'm not a fan of goat and it was the first time I had it and I'm really picky with food too.
Overall, it was a really nice dinner. Definitely going to come back! -

I was super excited to try out this place - had never been to a Nepalese restaurant before and had good recent reviews for this restaurant. So we made reservations for 4 people for 8:30 on a weekday evening. All 4 of us showed up at the restaurant on time and it took a while to get us seated - the place was packed to the brim.
Food was a hit and a miss-
tandoori chicken was dry and over cooked.
channa masala was good.
fish curry was a-okay too.
Of all the dishes the momos were the best.
Service was a bit off too - dont know if it was the fact that they were super busy or something?!? -

I went here on a visit, and this was a unique dining experience for me. Never have I been to a Himalayan restaurant before.
I only tried a couple of dishes, but they were quite tasty. Service wasn't super friendly, but I'll let that slide because I am thinking a lot about the tasty food... -

I am in LOVE with this place but the delivery service has fallen off. My standards for in house or delivery are buddha delight (malai kofta), kothey or momo, and chana masala. But besides these favorites everything is good. They deliver too, but the last few deliveries have taken over an hour and each have had a problem--one time they forgot the samosas, they were later delivered on a second trip to the house, which I guess was a good correction, but an hour and a half late. The most recent time they brought the food to the house but the driver had confusion over a non-regular menu item on the ticket--It was the delicious bean and puffed rice starter appetizer that you get in the restaurant--so he went all the way back to the restaurant to clarify. Therefore the delivery took one hour twenty minutes and the food was not as fresh as normal, especially the Palak Paneer.
I will continue to go there and order from there. I can't say no to the delicious food and we've walked in with eight for a birthday before and had no problems. -

Everything was really, really nice; the food was great, and though we got a bottle of wine, our dinner still didn't break the bank. Our server was friendly and very attentive, and I thought the place had a great atmosphere -- warm, dark colors and quirky "eastern" decor. I'll definitely be back!

Decidedly mixed. Ordered delivery and it was nearly an hour late. I called about 10 minutes after the delivery time and was told "it was on its way". Ooookay. When the delivery guy arrived though, he was very sweet and apologetic, saying they had a lot of orders that night. It was something and definitely more than I've gotten from other late deliveries.
Food was cold by the time I got it, but it had been well-made. I was actually surprised (pleasantly for once!) on how much meat they had packed into it. Got my money's worth I'd say. It was quite spicy. Not quite what I was looking for as the chicken was a little dry, but it could have been SO much worse.
The naan was also good, and I was surprised that my order of papadum came with 3, rather than the 1 I expected. It seemed a little stale, but maybe that was because it was late in getting to me?
I was also offered a discount for a future order and another apology. I might try them again, but only if I'm not super starving and in desperate need of food right away. -

I pass by Himalayan Heritage all the time but have been hesitant to try it since I've been disappointed by a couple of restaurants in the area. I finally decided to go in when I was hit with one of my random cravings for momo.
The Sunkoshi steamed momo hit the spot! The wrap was a little dry which leads me to wonder how long they've been sitting in the fridge, but the filling was perfect--juicy and seasoned very well. The masala tea, on the other hand, was a big letdown. It tasted exactly like the black tea powder mix that bubble tea places use. It would have been more effective if they had just handed me a teabag with a pot of hot water.
I would definitely come back for the momo and to try the other dishes. -

Delicious! First time trying Himalayan food. Try the Himalayan soup, it has pasta, veggies, and lots of spices. Garlic naan, samosas (gigantic) and peanut salad are worth trying. Not expensive, great service. Parking is horrible so metro it or give ample time to park. The atmosphere is very ethnic, cute bar.

I'm new in town and on the hunt for new delicious haunts to replace my old Boston/Cambridge favorites, and so far, Himalayan Heritage is the only place I've tried that's solidly on that list.
Came here with an old friend on a double date, and found the food flavorful, authentic, varied and really reasonably priced. Likewise for the beer-- I had a Kingfisher that went great with my spicy meal. The paratha was buttery and delicious, my momo's were juicy and tender, and all of the entrees we shared were well-prepared and on point. We stuck to the Himalayan choices, mostly, so can't speak to the Indian side of the menu, but I'll definitely be coming back here to explore more of their options!
Cozy, intimate ambiance, warm and friendly service. Nothing about this meal I didn't like. -

Ok so as it now stands, I am officially guilty of eating way too much Indian (and Nepalese and Pakistani) food. I think after this month I will have to get on board with a cleanse of some sort...
Anyway, as long as I keep finding places like Himlayan Heritage, totally worth it :)
I've walked past the small doorway of this corner restaurant in Adams Morgan many many times, but the opportunity to stop here and eat never really came up until one of my friends suggested it for dinner the other night. From the outside looks of it, I figured I would encounter a very casual athmosphere inside but I was wrong. Dimly lit and significantly bigger than I pictured it would be, I found the decor exotic and even kind of romantic.
For dinner we got two of my traditional favorites: Mattar Paneer ($9.95) and Aloo Gobi Masala (also $9.95). Both dishes came with very delicious basmati rice and sides of chutney. My friend also got a side of naan for about $3.
The portions were very generous and although I wish I had tried more dishes (there were very many promising descriptions on the menu) I was totally satisfied by the time I got done with our portions.
A great dinner for under $15 per person in DC? SIgn me up! -

The first time i ordered from here it was 5 star food, but since there has been trouble with delivery and the meat hasnt been as tender, and the food not spicy when requested. This place is good, the best indian i have had in dc but they mess up on small details. I ate at the restaurant once and got good service and good food.

Indian food is a weakness of mine. Can I still consider it a craving when I want it constantly? Anyway... HH is my favorite place to go to satisfy my Indian itch. The butter chicken makes my tongue tingle with delight, as do other dishes such as the chicken tikka, pakora appetizers, naan sampler basket and mango lassi drink. The menu is huge and includes both Indian and Himalayan choices, so there's something for everyone. The wait staff is friendly, the decor makes the place feel intimate even when it's crowded, and they include a coupon on your bill, so you basically have no choice but to return.
I also love the complimentary puffed rice/bean dish they bring out after you sit down - it's crunchy, sweet, savory and has a hint of spice that I can't resist! Keep doing what you do, Himalayan Heritage. -

don't be fooled by the decor (or the weird neighborhood for that matter) the food is pretty good.
we ordered vegetarian samosas to start and wow, these might be the biggest samosas i've ever seen. perfectly fried bur the potatoes inside weren't too dried out. nice and not too heavy on the spices.
for entrees we ordered a basket of garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, and saag paneer.
garlic naan: freaking five times the size of my face. very garlicky but in a good way
chicken tikka masala: one of the better ones i've had, not too sweet, but the chicken was a tad bit dry.
lamb korma: my mom and sister said it was gamey, but i didn't feel like it was. the korma was a great blend of spices that just popped in your mouth, but the lamb was a litle tough
overall, i'd say it was a good meal, but they need to figure out a way to make the meats more tender (maybe more marinating?). the service was attentive and our server very kind. unlike other places i had dined at in the area, i didn't have to go looking for him when i wanted the check. -

Been back a few times since my last review and I still find this place to be great!
Now, the specific reason why I am updating this review is because last time I was there I tried the Khasi ko Masu (Goat Curry) and it was simply spectacular. The seasoning and tenderness of the meat was so perfect that it left me wanting to go back for more... Also, their garlic naan continues to be the best in my list.
This really is a great place to go if you like Indian and Nepalese. And its coziness, savory concoctions and amiable service also make it a great spot for a date :)1 Previous Review: Show all »

Must thank fellow Yelper Antonio and his Maha for pulling me into this place! The tastiest Himalayan food I have ever had. (Um, yes, I think this is the first also)
The bread was light, fresh, lightly seasoned and complimented every dish.
The place is cozy and a bit romantical. Everything was a flavor explosion. It's been 3 months since I went, but I can still taste their aromatic rice! -

If I can replicate a couple of your dishes, you could at least have cheap prices. Honestly, this place is ok, but overpriced for what you get. It is fairly average and nothing amazing. What was supposed to be spicy was more like a tingle in my mouth. The other stuff was just straight up bland. Maybe I've gotten the wrong dishes??
At least it delivers I suppose. -

Great food, but the service is soooo slooooow. We waited 40+ minutes for our meal after ordering - I almost walked out by the time it arrived. However, once it did it came close to justifying the wait. The sauces all had very rich and complex flavors permeating tender meat. This all can be sopped up by some fluffy and chewy buttered naan. Still nothing is with an hour wait.

I went back and got my discount, thanks Himalayan Heritage.
Some new thoughts:
The food still takes long to arrive. However, it was very busy, and it's a cozy place. The idea is that you have a lot of time to impress your date while the food is being prepared.
Had the vindaloo and tikka massala chicken and garlic naan. Both were good.
It's good to have a place which is still quite cheap but where you can hang out for a while. If you want faster food go to Jiyoti, which is cheaper as well and taste about the same.1 Previous Review: Show all »

This is a great introduction to Indian/Chinese cuisine. The flavors are intense and complex. We tried a lamb appetizer which was very tender and fiery. We ended up ordering their version of dumpling both fried and steamed. Will definitely try it again. Service was very attentive and friendly.

My first meal here was so good, but sadly, tonight's experience was terrible.
First, I waited almost 1.5 hours for my food. When it finally got here it was missing 2 items. After calling back 3 times, I still don't have it. The phone keeps ringing and ringing and nobody answers. -

As a sit down restaurant, Himalayan Heritage is decent.
But as take out, it makes for truly delicious Indian food and the best by far that will be delivered to my door. I am partial to the paneer chili and the chicken or paneer tikka masala, and the garlic naan is delicious. -

Decent place for himalayan/nepalese (and north Indian) food. Inside looks better than expected after looking at the ugly residential Bldg from afar. There's an extensive menu selection but we stuck to the authentic ones at the back. Himalayan lamb/chicken (#"69," yes we chuckled) and nepalese duck (a less amusing #68).
I can't judge whether it's authentic or not but did enjoy all dishes that we ordered. This would be a 4 star for take-out, 3 star restaurant in my book. -

Service: Not bad. They were really nice and helpful with the menu.
Restaurant: I love the Nepali décor. There's a huge beautiful painting on the back of Buddhist deities, and little paper lanterns dim the dining room. My only complaint is that the dining room is small and I felt a little cramped between my table and the guy sitting right behind me.
Food: Pretty good! We ordered
1. Kuchumber salad - Ooh this salad is refreshing! Cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, and mango slices with a spicy lime dressing. It kind of reminded me of a spicy ceviche but without the fish ;)
2. Himalayan Kothey - steamed chicken dumplings in a hot chutney sauce that taste like sambal oelek. This was damn spicy and good! I drizzled a little of the yogurt sauce on it to cool down the spiciness.
3. Chicken Momo - steamed chicken dumplings and it comes with two types of dipping sauce, one spicy and one not spicy. They surely know how to steam dumplings! Most of the time when I order dumplings from other restaurants, they over steam them and they become watery... not here, they were steamed perfectly.
4. Chicken briyani - basmati rice dish. It was OK, I think the chicken was a little on the dry side.
5. Nepali style shrimp curry - really good! It's medium spicy and the shrimps are large. They also didn't overcook the shrimp (one of my pet peeves).
Overall, I liked this place and definitely will return to try other things. -

Ah, dis was wery wery good! Always fresh to start a review with some innocuous racial jokes, no?
Fortunately for Himalayan Heritage, the food here is no joke. While I haven't been in the restaurant proper, I have eaten their carry-out (the smart eater always convinces someone ELSE to go pick up the food; saves your energy for the consumption of the meal). My verdict? This is actually pretty great Indian food, especially for being on 18th Street where restaurants usually just make their profits off of the fact that people who are stupefyingly drunk tend to not have functioning tastebuds.
We got the butter chicken, lamb curry, I believe the mas ko daal (a lentil dish) and the palak paneer. I was in a butter chicken mood so honestly that's the only entree I ate, but the folks I was eating with enjoyed the other dishes very much. They came with rice, which was decent, and we also got two orders of naan which was SO good.
The butter chicken is actually some of the best butter chicken I've had in DC. At many places it seems they just give you any piece of meat that comes from the bird we call a chicken. I find myself biting down on a piece of bone, or some inedible chunk of not-meat. But no, these pieces were all pure and free of that stuff. A few of them were a little more cooked than I would have liked, but for the most part they were tender and the sauce was rather flavorful (although not the most flavorful I've tasted). A great combo is to mix the chicken with some rice, pour more sauce on it and then sort of pinch it up with some naan.
I would definitely order from here again, and I'd like to have a sit-down meal here as well some time. Thank you, I will come again!Listed in: Adams F@*%in' Morgan

We've dined in and gotten delivery from Himalayan Heritage.
I thought the dining experience in was romantic and the service was attentive. For food, we got Chef's specials, so I guess it was hard to go wrong there. The food is pretty delicious, and there is a large menu. I'd recommend the goat curry for those that eat meat.
For the delivery service, I kind of object that the menu does not have a description of the items following the names. I wouldn't consider Nepalese food something that's so commonly eaten that everyone knows what the dishes are. However, the nice lady who answered the phone walked me through a couple options based on what I wanted. The delivery time was pretty standard. They forgot the naan we ordered, but we weren't charged for it. And again, the food is pretty delicious. -

The Good: Garlic Naan, Paneer Chili, and the Paneer Masala
The Not so Good: watch out everything is very oily! Would not recommend the prawn appetizer as it is fried and bland. I am also not a fan of the Momo although many people on yelp recommended it! It was soggy and fell apart as soon as I put it in my plate.
I had a groupon so I got $30 off but it still kinda pricey. -

Delivery: Slow
Price: High for the serving size
Lamb Curry: Good
Momos: Terrible
We had an interesting evening when ordering delivery from this restaurant tonight. A 45-minute estimate became an hour and a half wait until our food came, plus they forgot part of our order. (I had asked for naan for four people, they charged us for four orders, but only one piece came with the rest of the meal.) They were very polite on the phone when I called about this, and brought us a little serving of tapioca pudding dessert to say sorry, which was nice of them. However, all in all, it took almost two and a half hours for us to receive our whole order.
Outside of the delivery issues, the food was okay, some parts better than others. The butter chicken and tikka masala looked and tasted the same, but the true champion of the meal was the curry lamb.
The extreme low-point of the meal was the momos. When our order showed up so late, the delivery man blamed this delay on the momos, claiming they took a long time to make. This seems unlikely, as they very much resembled the frozen potstickers you buy at the grocery store, and those only take 6 minutes to heat up. And they weren't even as good as the grocery store kind. They were incredibly greasy and bland, and at $12 per order, extremely overpriced.
In general, prices here were too high, especially for the momos. Our order of three entrees (very small sized, all things considered), two orders of momos, and some naan, came out to $87. A very expensive dinner for good, not great, food. -

My boyfriend and I recently just move here from San Francisco and we've been in search for our go to indian food place. We browsed around yelp for reviews and I have to say I am very disappointed in you yelpers who've given this place more then 3 stars.
This review is solely based on flavor not service since we decided to order delivery one friday night. The food we ordered was garlic naan, Chicken Makhni, and Lamb Vindaloo. The chicken had large chunks of chicken to hide the lack of sauce. I understand why, since the sauce sucked. My boyfriend had Lamb Vindaloo, the lamb was rough and in this case they were hiding the lack of flavor with the spiciness of the sauce. Lastly, with the quality of food the price was far too expensive. 1st fail at finding our go-to indian place. Hey, it may be a better in-house experience, I may give them the benefit of the doubt if someone was treating me to dinner and they insisted on this place. -

I didn't order Indian with a side of lip from the delivery man, and for that reason I will not be eating Himalayan Heritage again.
Based on some of the great Yelp reviews I read, I was really excited to try the butter chicken and palak paneer from Himalayan Heritage. I placed an order for delivery and was told that it'd arrive in 45min-1hr. About 40 min later the delivery man called and asked if I could meet him at the door in 2 min. Because he was early, I had to change out of my PJs (it was 10PM) and took about 5 min to get to the door.
I was happy that he'd arrived early, until through the glass door of my building I see him waving, rushing me to the door. He then proceeds to ask what took so long and complain that I wasn't at the door in 2 min. I told him that HE was providing ME with a customer service and therefore I shouldn't have to explain myself! Still he continued to tell me that there was nothing wrong with him expressing his displeasure w/ my 3 min (so-called) late arrival and that he had other deliveries to make! Who does this guy think he is?
As for the food, the butter chicken was yummy, but the palak paneer was runny. Needless to say, I will not be ordering from here again. -

Went here late on a Friday night a few weeks ago. I've heard fellow Yelper Áine say good things about this place and I'd sampled a few bites at the Stroga elite event. What pushed me to finally check this place out, though, was a buy-one-entree-get-one-free deal to use during Adam's Morgan Week. Score!
The place was fairly busy for a late Friday night, but there wasn't a wait. I instantly loved the decor - the statues in the wall nooks, the faux bamboo roof hut, the warm colors. I felt transported. Now, I've never been to India or Nepal, but I kind of image it's like Himalayan Heritage.
After giving our food and drink orders, the waiter brought out the little complimentary munchies. Something like puffed rice (meh) and spiced edamame. Wow. I gobbled the edamame. I wanted to ask for more. Would that have been rude? Really, I don't think I would have cared. But, I had lots more food on the way, so I refrained.
We ordered the Chef's Special Jir Lamb Ko as an appetizer. Calling it an appetizer isn't quite right. That plate could have fed an army of starving people. That might be overstating things a bit, but it was a HUGE plate of food. So many delicious lamb chunks. And huge chunks of veggies. Mmmmmm. One of the apps I had tried at the elite event was the Gobi Manchurian - fried, spicy cauliflower. The sauce was amazing, but, honestly, it didn't need to be fried. The breading just got kind of soggy and fell off. I would have rather just had cooked cauliflower bathed in that sauce.
For dinner I ordered Palak Paneer - one of my favorite Indian dishes. Seriously, this is like one my desert-island foods. Pretty much every time I go to an Indian place, I try it. I was a little worried about the chopped ginger garnish, but I ordered the dish anyway. Turns out, I didn't even notice the ginger - and the dish was delicious! SO yummy. My husband ordered one of the spicy chicken dishes. He loves spicy food, but since he's white, most ethnic people don't think he can handle the spice. His dish came out, he tried it, and had to ask the waiter for more spice. Ha! White people can take the heat! The rice and naan were also delicious. These are big portions, so I'd say it's best to go with a group and share a few dishes or share a dish between two. Or just enjoy the leftovers, because they were also delicious.
Our server was friendly and mostly attentive. There was a bit of time between appetizer and dinner that he seemed to disappear - and our food seemed to be taking awhile to come out. He reappeared and apologized, and our food was on the table shortly after.
I will definitely return for more Palak Paneer. Or maybe something else. But likely, the Palak Paneer. -

Went to dinner here last night (Monday night) and had a reservation. Our table was ready when we got there and had been actually been reserved for us, which was cute. The rest of the restaurant was full when we got there and stayed full for most of our meal.
Pros: Food was delicious! Aloo Kauli Tarkari was the best of the 4 vegetarian entrees we ordered, but it is spicy! :) We also got Saag ko Tarkari (Spinach) which was tasty but just a bowl of spinach and onion with some spices. The restaurant was cute, good for a date night.
Cons: Everything took FOREVER. Took over 10 minutes to get water after we sat down, another 10 minutes to get someone to take our order, over FORTY minutes to get our food, then had to ask twice for a box and the check (after sitting with the food not being eaten anymore for at least 10 minutes). I usually don't complain about this but it was extreme. Our reservation was at 7pm and we left at 10pm. Granted, we didn't make a scene and we were content just talking but WOW, that's a long time for a Monday night...
I'll might go back someday but not after I try some other places I haven't been yet. -

I am a fan of HH. It is conveniently located in the heart of Adams Morgan and a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I went here for dinner Saturday and I had a nice meal and I was pleasantly surprised that the place was packed.
Food: Delicious. We shared the fried cheese appetizer (very good) and I had the chicken tikka (the chicken was a bit dry but delicious), and my companion had chick peas. All good. Some of the dishes were a bit spicy and/or a bit oily. But good. i also really enjoyed the bread basket.
I enjoy Indian food and have been to India several times and once to Nepal. I find the food at HH to be a better than average interpretation. The Nepalese food is less spicy than traditional Indian. Overall, I find the quality and portion size to be satisfactory. Good dinner at a fair price.
Drinks: We both had beer. Frosty and delicious. There appears to be a full bar and a decent wine list.
Service: Fine. Sometimes a bit slow but this is obviously a small family owned type restaurant. I do not always need to rush. Our waitress was very nice.
Ambiance: Quaint. Small, cozy, not too loud. Just fine to me.
Overall/bottom line: Good value. I did not think the bill was too high at $70 for two with drinks, tax, and tip. Good food, good portions - very tasty and filling. I like small neighborhoody and ethnic restaurants and I think that HH ranks up there with the better ones. -

I have never found a Good Indian restaurant in DC that delivers until now. Himalayan Heritage has great food, good prices and an excellent ordering system online. Some of the dishes were a bit spicy but otherwise very good. Definitely recommended.
