Himalayan Taj: Discover Authentic Himalayan and Nepalese Flavors in Houston

This was literally the first restaurant I've been to that serves this type of food and given that I was unfamiliar with what it all was, I chose this place because of the good reviews AND because they have a buffet so, in theory, I could famiarize myself with a whole variety of new cuisine. Sadly, I did not realize that the buffet was lunch only and I was therefore limited to trying only one entree. I say sadly because my food [the coconut curry] was SO delicious that I'm sad I didn't get to try 20 more things. My son had the momo dumplings, and those were excellent as well. I forget what my husband ordered, but it had his nose running [he likes spicy so he was happy] amd he cleaned his plate. The naan was so soft and delicious I could've made a meal out of just that and the drinks were good too [blueberry mojito especially] Lastly, the service was excellent. They didn't seem to have a dedicated server for each table but rather a sort of communal staff where everyone just offers help where it may be needed. As I said, I've never tried this kind of food before so I don't have any comparison, but I don't feel the need to try anywhere else because this place was so tasty; I'll definitely be back

My husband and I were looking for a restaurant near the NASA in Webster, when we came across the Himalayan Taj, the parking was full and that's always a good sign, so we decided to give it a try. When I entered the first thing I felt was the smell of spices, and herbs coming from the kitchen, at that moment all my senses were awakened. The restaurant itself it's big, lots of tables, very clean place, which is always a plus. I love Indian, but I hadn't try Nepali, so I was very eager to try everything. To my surprise it was an all you can eat, and for some reason that is not always good, but this wasn't the case. Although there was not beef nor pork, there was a variety of chicken, rice, pastas, vegetarian options, soups and salads. I tried almost all the flavors of the chicken dishes, I tried the basmati rice, and some salad as well. I had to try the spicy chicken, which was not a disappointment, but beware because if you can't handle spicy food those options may not be for you. Everything was delicious, my favorite was the cilantro chicken, which was a little spicy and the masala sauce was incredible, so buttery and rich. The vegetables soup had this nostalgic taste to it, so good. And the Naan bread was amazing, so soft and chewy. The dessert option is limited, and they ran out of mango dessert, which I was very excited to try, but maybe next time! I liked the rice pudding, was very creamy with hints of citrus flavors. The staff is very attentive and very polite. Well done Himalayan Taj! All you can eat for $16.90 per person.

Wanted to do another review on this gem. Came in to try the buffet for the first time and it did not disappoint. The buffet had a variety of foods and I left feeling very satisfied. I highly recommend the buffet if you or new to this type of food. The service was good, and the environment clean and pleasant.

I came here almost a year ago but I remember it being delicious. My gf and I got a curry and they were both to die for!

We visited Himalayan Taj for Mothers Day... we had a feast! It was supposed be for 2 the 4 of us came away stuffed with leftovers

This place is awesome! The food is delicious, the staff are super nice, everything is very clean, and they serve fresh naan to your table. What else could you ask for?

Conveniently located right next to NASA (walking distance). Came here with brothers family famished after a long day at the NASA museum The server recommended the Himalayan meat platter which was more than enough for the 5 of us but since we are all relatively big guys with big appetites we ordered more - a chicken biryani & lamb seekh kebab and a lemonade and rotis. The food was excellent- tasted delicious and fresh. Yet there were some leftovers that we took back to the hotel. The place was quite crowded for an early evening which says a lot and about their quality. I wish there was one in the Dallas area where I'm from.

So glad we dropped in for dinner. The menu had so many options from traditional to specialities. I loved the large vegetarian section. My husband and I ordered three dishes to try along with garlic naan. Flavors were great. Everything was fresh and hot. Our shrimp, mango and potato dish had a unique flavor I've never had before (sorry in no way can I describe it). Our Dahl was very spicy (level 2 and I love spicy so beware). Spinach paneer (named something different) was absolutely the best I've ever had. Service was quick and friendly. She kindly answered my questions. AND prices were very reasonable. Traditional dishes were $11 and an order of rice was $3. Even their rice was delicious. Spiced not just plain basmati. Highly recommended for a yummy lunch or dinner.
