Verdict: Our expert take on Himalayan Hub
Food (9.1 out of 10)
mentioned by 98% of the guests
When it comes to the food, this spot truly shines! With an excellent score of 9.1 and an impressive 95.5% customer satisfaction, it's clear diners are consistently delighted. Out of 200 comments, a whopping 191 were positive, frequently praising the delicious momo, flavorful butter chicken, fresh naan, and standout Gobi Manchurian.
Guests rave about the authentic taste, generous portions, and overall quality. While overwhelmingly positive, a mere 4 negative comments out of 200 did surface. A few found the lamb chhoila to be less impressive, and there were isolated mentions of fish being unavailable or a Thali not meeting expectations.
The taste of some vegetables also received a minor critique, but these seem to be rare exceptions in an otherwise stellar culinary experience.

- momosstopped in for momos
- butter chickenEverything we tried was great including butter chicken

Wonderful Food and Atmosphere, Service Needs Polish
I had a great experience overall. Initially, the server seemed busy, and the person who assisted me was actually doing dishes. However, both staff members later helped me pick a palate.
The jhol momo’s jhol was a bit thick for my taste, but it did taste wonderful. The restaurant boasts a very good atmosphere and very good service, along with tasty food.

Awesome Food, Service, and Value!
I've had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant multiple times and each experience has been consistently great. The food is fantastic, and the service is equally impressive, with servers who are always chirpy and sporting a broad smile. The pricing is also very reasonable.
While the quantity could be slightly improved, it's a minor point in an otherwise awesome place!

Good Food, Clean Place, Lacks Authenticity
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive. The food was very good, and the prices were reasonable. I also appreciated that the place was clean and the server was very nice.
The only aspect that prevented a perfect score was that it didn't feel like the most authentic experience. Overall, it was a very good visit.
