This place is wonderful, absolutely the best Northern Indian food I've ever had. There are enough items on the menu to keep anyone coming back for days. The food is prepared to perfection, and the service is great. Himalayan is located in the heart of the village at Big Bear Lake and is a must for any visitor.

We LOVE the Himalayan. My husband didn't even know he liked Indian food until we went here and he's been addicted ever since. It likely contributed to our decision to move here. Try palak paneer, the veggie roll, alsloo mattar, chicken masala and the garlic naan. You won't regret it.

Decided to have dinner here. We hadn't had Indian food before and decided to try some. The service was nice, the food delicious and spicy. Our server was very helpful in recommending some dishes. I can't remember what we ordered but it was all very tasty. I would highly recommend this place.

Although we have tried many Indian restaurants, this was the first time that we had ever had "Nepalese Indian" food. The food was definitely delicious. It is kind of similar to most Indian food that we have tried; however, it is not as heavy and not greasy at all. The spices that they use seem to be a bit different... More

We ordered by phone dinner for the adults of in our group. Dinner was delivered on time and still warm. The spinach and potato side dish was quite good. The mix grill was pretty solid too! I just did not expect the food to be that great and we were all pleasantly surprised. Take a chance and order from the... More

Excellent food and a great value in the center of Big Bear Village near bars and movie theater. Prices are reasonable and food is very good quality. Above average decor for area as well. Bring friends and share appetizers and entrees!

Busy & reasonably priced. Food was really good & was unexpected as we were just walking by. Really enjoyed the shrimp Marsala & chicken saag. Just get there we'll before closing as they might try to rush you to order.

Indian food very good - if you'd like it spicy, let them know. Very reasonably priced and great food.

My husband and I had a delicious dinner at this hopping local haunt which was warm and comfortable on a very cold day. The staff was friendly, the service very good and the food was excellent. We will definitely return.

I enjoy eating at the Himalayan. The food is excellent, the prices and reasonable, and I've always had great service. As a vegetarian, I always order the Paleek Paneer (spinach and cheese), and I've never been disappointed. If I'm really hungry, I'll also order the vegetarian Momo's. Yum! My husband likes the Chicken Marsala. If you're on a budget, the... More
