WARNING: DO NOT ORDER via the website linked here on their Google listing. The 3rd party that takes the orders calls the restaurant to place the order for you but the restaurant doesn't answer the phone. I got there to pick up my order and there was no one there. I eventually knocked on the employee only door and someone finally came out. They said they never received my order. Meanwhile the phone was ringing constantly. I called the 3rd party I had ordered through on their website (Mealhi5) and they were very nice but said they'd been trying to call the restaurant but the restaurant refused to take the order. He processed my refund right away and said not to order from this restaurant anymore because THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. Totally unacceptable. This place used to be good but not anymore.

Chicken samosa had hair in it. The water they served was cloudy. The place has a smell and it's not organized.

It is a small mom and pop place, however, they are very welcoming and their food was good, so please visit this place when in the area. I dined in and had a great conversation with the owners, as well as my company.

Recently, we ordered delivery from Himshikar. Although their prices are lower than other places, we found that the portion sizes were smaller than we expected. The palak paneer and madras gosht didn't quite meet my expectations. They certainly didn’t taste like the standard recipes I'm used to, which was a bit disappointing. On the other hand, their Nepalese dish, kukhura ko masu, had a decent flavor, although it leaned a bit on the sweet side for my taste. The kebab, however, was quite tasty. If I were to recommend Himshikar, I would advise sticking to the Nepalese cuisine and steering clear of the Indian dishes. For $90, we were expecting better food and more of it.

First time trying this place and won’t be back. Overall, abysmally small portions for the price and mediocre quality. Butter chicken and chicken biryani each were 16. The butter chicken was half the amount of any other place and mostly tasted like slightly spicy yogurt. The chicken Biryani was mushy, clumpy, mostly tasteless. The naan tastes like overcooked plain pizza dough. I think it might’ve been made 3 days ago then reheated in an oven. Seems to me like the owner has given up on the place. Interior is unappealing at best. It smells of cigs and all his take away menus on display must’ve gotten wet and dried together. The place looks disheveled and unorganized. My advice to the owner: get rid of half your menu items. The ones remaining, make sure they’re good. Clean up the place. Double the portion sizes. Try to get some economy of scale going. Good luck!
