    Second time at Himalyi and it never disappoints! The tandoori prawns are delicious as was the chicken chili appetizer. I also really enjoyed the aloo manchurian but beware, it does have a kick to it! The service is also a standout here. They're so kind and friendly.

    We very much enjoyed our dinner and found the wait staff to be very friendly. I would comment that the wine list is limited and quite expensive. we will definitely return.
