The Himalya Restaurant

Outstanding. I have to say I strongly disagree with the review from about a month ago. The place is lovely and the food is outstanding, fresh, delicious. The staff are consistently very friendly and hospitable. I usually go once a week, from a fair distance, & have never noticed any odour. I look forward to returning every time. Huge fan especially of the samosas!

I’ve been visiting Himalya for the last 7 to 8 years. Their Channa Bhatura, Channa Puri, Samosas, and Rasmalai are the best you will find in Hamilton. This time I tried their Veg Thali, Veg Parantha and Paneer Parantha. Veg Thali was pretty good, the paranthas are okay-ish. They don’t serve butter or achar with the parantha by default. You have the option to get parantha with dahi, but it costs extra (prices in the menu). Service/atmosphere - the service is a bit slow. They have renovated and added more seating space recently. The new area is nice with clean washrooms.

Best Indian food spot with lot of vegan and vegetarian options. Naan and curry were good, but not thali. Avoid thali and opt for freshly made food to get the real taste.

Every time my partner and I are in Toronto, we make a special trip to Hamilton just to enjoy their simple vegetable thali and pick up some spicy cashews. This time, we noticed they’ve made some renovations, adding a lot more space and even washrooms, which is a nice improvement. The vegetable thali remains consistently good and is very reasonably priced. However, they're now serving it in non-stainless steel thalis, which, in my opinion, takes away a bit of the authentic Indian dining experience. The food itself hasn’t changed, though—still as delicious as ever. We also tried their mushroom tikka this time. It could have used a bit more spice and salt, but overall, it was okay. It seemed like they were a bit short-staffed, as there was only one server and the food arrived later than usual. However, given the recent expansion, this could be a temporary issue. We’re hopeful that things will improve and we’ll continue to enjoy coming back to this restaurant.

We had takeout at work today and it was my first time eating from this place. I had the Vegetarian Thali and it was delicious. There were four dishes and bread. I have no idea what they were called except for the rice but I will definitely get it again.

Excellent Jalebi. Ras Malai is also good. Gulab Jaman is nice. Microwave the jalebi / gulab jaman for 15 seconds & you will love it. Seemed only like a sweets shop. But we will visit again to try other food items.

Now with extension, they have plenty of room and seating available. New decor, plenty of space, updated washroom….all improves the dinning experience. They still have fair price, good food and great service. Chana bhatura is still my favourite. Good place for Indian meals.
