Himalayas Indian Restaurant

Outstanding Indian food, in good setting and the service by Moksh was 1st class. I had the chefs Himalayas Special chicken which was cooked to perfection, and my wife had lamb vindaloo Indian hot, which was also great. The garlic Naan was also great. We have our favourite Indian on the Gold Coast and this was as good if not better Thank you chef for our flavoursome dinner.

Visiting Christchurch we found our hotel restaurant around the corner was full so went out and came across the Himalayas. We always enjoy Indian food but are usually disappointed in restaurants as it is our house speciality at home. We were delighted with both the food and the service. Really good by our own high standards and would highly recommend. Just sorry that we live on the other side of NZ.

We had dinner here after a long day. The food was simply outstanding. I had the Chicken Dhansak, and oh my, what a dish! The meat was so succulent, the vegetables were tender and the spices were delicious. My husband had the Lamb Vindaloo which was also very good. The Naan was both crispy and soft, quite a feat. The service was also excellent. Nice casual decor and a small bar. Highly recommend!!

Let not the sleepy outside fool you. We came in on a quiet Tuesday evening at around 830pm and were delighted with a wonderfully charismatic waiter who recommended us the delicious cheesy gsrlic naan, channa masalla, paneer entree, and lamb. The food was unreal and the portions were generous, a must visit if you love quality food!!

My wife and I visited recently for the first dinner of our honeymoon. The service was timely and polite, the atmosphere was relaxed, and our meal took only a few minutes to be served - best butter chicken we’ve had! It was mild but flavourful and the naan was freshly made. Delicious, highly recommend!

What a hidden little gem! This place is hands down one of the best authentic Indian restaurants in Christchurch. We ordered the mixed platter which was served on a sizzling pan. The fish was absolutely devine, the paneer had a beautiful smokey taste from the tandoor oven. For mains we had Butter Prawns and Lamb Manchester both medium and the spice was really good. The Butter sauce was the best I've ever had. We also ordered some breads - the cheese and garlic naan was out of this world, so cheesy and really well priced. I'll be back and I'll also go out of my way to order take out from here too. Nice work team, your food is incredible.

We- my partner and myself- had just arrived from Melbourne the day before with a 20 month old toddler, and was thinking about an easy take away Macca's meal to eat at the hotel. However, a Facebook reel that I watched made me want some naan and chicken. And aren't we glad we went to Himalayas! We ordered a plate of onion paccoras and chicken tikka to start and butter chicken and kadhai goat as mains. Despite the fact that every mains come with fluffy perfectly cooked basmati rice as complementary, we still ordered 2 garlic naans. Suffice to say we surprised ourselves by cleaning up the plates to the last bits possible as everything that we ordered were soo tasty and we could have had more, only if we had the appetite! Perfect flavours, perfect portions and great ambiance and very friendly staff. Not much more you could ask for. We'll definitely come back here again, whenever it be that we visit Christchurch again. Thanks team 😊 P.s - we were too busy eating that I only got one photo here, just a pint of KF beer on tap 😀
