This is truly an authentic Indian restaurant. It's very clean and offers a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. The service is on point, attentive, and friendly, but the prices are a little high for the portion size. There are a variety of curries to choose from, and the Chicken Marsala, Classic Butter Chicken, and Shahi Paneer are exceptional. The naan is great, too. Also, the establishment has a wine selection, which pairs surprisingly well with the dishes.
My new favorite for Indian food in Champaign. The downtown location is perfect and the owners have put some love and care into the space. The dishes are not your typical run-of-the-mill recipes. The sauce on the Tikka Masala, for instance, has a smokey flavor I love. The wine selection is nice too. Who knew wine paired well with Indian food?

I love the creamy curries that Himalayan has, and although it may be expensive (relatively), I personally love coming here whenever I'm looking for lavish Indian meals. I always get the classic butter chicken, naan, and Shahi paneer. I'm a huge fan!

Really good curry chicken. I enjoyed my meal, tasted pretty authentic being that my family is from the Caribbean and eats curry all the time. My boyfriend enjoys their butter chicken. Everything tastes good with white rice and the naan bread!

We loved the food here. The service was very good. The Dosa is totally authentic! Thin and crispy and full of curry potatoes. We came back a second time in one week just for more Dosa! The Himalayan lamb curry was really good as well. We'll definitely be regulars.

I'm in town on business and this is across from the Hyatt. First, they have done a great job with the renovation on the property! Next, the food was delicious. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala and ate every morsel. Can't wait to come back with more people, so I can enjoy the ambiance and share more options!

My friends birthday was this evening and this was the place she chose to go! I had always seen it in passing, but had never been. Let me tell you - don't hesitate to stop! I had the Chicken Tikka Masala with mild sauce and it was amazing! The restaurant was clean and inviting with great customer service! I will be back!

Really enjoyed dinner here! Their butter chicken and Bhuna ghost were great. The starters were pretty good except the pani puri was missing the sweet chutney. The portions were a little small for the price of the food. Overall great experience though.
