“ Himalaya Palace is a long-trusted North Indian restaurant in Rome with moderately priced food (20 euros for the signature menu, approx 40 euros for two a la carte) served with great love and care in an unassuming yet comfortable ambience. The veg pakoras, paneer tikka masala, and cheese naan are must-haves. The meat curries also come highly recommended. Make sure you reserve a table in advance as the place can get quite full. We got complimentary fried papad (delicious) while waiting for our starters, and complimentary raita and Basmati rice with our mains. The ambience is simple, the service very prompt, and the proprietor Guptaji is an excellent host. He recommended the Santa Cristina Toscana 2016, a full-bodied and fruity red wine. We also ordered samosas (vegetarian pastries with savoury filling), paneer tikka (grilled cottage cheese in tasty marinade), and mix veg pakoras (fried onion, potato, and eggplant fritters). The portions were ideal for two people. For mains, we went with paneer tikka masala and malai kofta as curries, and cheese naan and laccha paratha as breads. The super cheesy and soft naan and the perfectly done paneer tikka masala were exemplary. The latter wasn't too spicy but as delicious as any counterpart you'd find in India. The malai kofta consisted of fried potato dumplings in gravy, and the layered laccha paratha was good to mop it up with. We'll be back for dessert another time! ”
“ It’s a good place to try Indian food, especially if you’re not Indian — the flavors are well-suited to a foreign palate. Overall, a good experience. ”
“ The place looks decent... Tables aren't too close to each other. Service was quick. Taste of food is very much average... The quantity of food is VERY small. The chicken biryani plate was so small that I would need 4 of them to fill my stomach. Chicken tikka had only 4 pieces and not so tasty. Chicken Vindaloo was not bad. Baingan bartha was good. Nan were too crisp. Cost was above average. I wouldn't visit again, unless I've no other option available. ”
“ My husband and I ordered take out from this restaurant and were very pleasantly surprised. The chicken tikka masala was well flavored and perfect for medium spicy level. Samosas were crispy. They provided papad, achar and mithai in our order. So happy Italy has good Indian food. ”
“ You feel right at home for vegetarians lovers. Good option for veggie. Fast and accurate service. Owner was there. Offered some extra papad and sweet. Made last meal in Rome enjoyable. Would definitely recommend. ”
