Review: dinner.
I've been to The Himalayan numerous times since I moved to Calgary and it has been my favorite for years now. I won't do it justice if I don't talk about them.
Bottomline: small boutique restaurant that serves consistent phenomenal flavorful food unique to Calgary. Definitely a must try.
Atmosphere: located on the west end of 17th Ave, this little gem is tucked away in one of the strip malls and easy to miss. Place is constantly busy so make sure to make a reso at least a week ahead of time.
Food: I've been to the restaurant numerous times and have tried almost everything on the menu. There's yet a dish that has disappointed me so far. Everything has great deep flavors and balanced very well. The chef is able to combine Asian cuisine with Indian spices like peanut butter and jam. The end result is something very unique and delicious. Oh and did I mention every table starts off with a light plate of homemade chips and dips? Awesome way to segue into the appys and entrees.
Value: fantastic food at a fantastic price. Considering the quality and taste, this place has everyone beat in regards to price. Expect fine quality food at an affordable price.
