Norbu’s Himalayan Hut

Oh. My. Goodness. So delicious. The veggie samosas are an experience. And sitting outside was a fun way to watch Manitou Springs strolling by. Very friendly and comfortable restaurant. I pretty much think about their food at least once a day, ha!

Ok not a good picture but I was busy eating!! The garlic naan, and the samosa chaat were delicious. Rice was a bit dry for me, and I can?t remember the name of the other dish but it was delicious too. The service was great. We love asking for suggestions and the waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and flavors.

We had a wonderful meal that started with a combo platter for the appetizer. For our main course, we enjoyed the Korma, and we ended on a sweet note with the chocolate and caramel naan for dessert. The food was fantastic, and I especially loved the Korma with lamb—it was my favorite dish! The restaurant was also very clean.

I recently visited Manitou Springs and was craving Indian food, which led me to this restaurant. The ambiance was decent, but unfortunately, the food was quite bland. I've never had paneer curry that tasted like this before. The rice also seemed stale and had an odd smell. On a positive note, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was acceptable. I’m giving it 2 stars, and the only reason for the extra point is that the tea was good.

We kicked things off with samosas, but unfortunately, they arrived cold on the inside. The waitress promptly took them back and returned them after heating them up. They were still very tasty, so I'm not deducting a star for that—sometimes these things happen! For our main courses, we ordered chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, veggie korma, and garlic naan, finishing off with some gulab jamun for dessert. The saag paneer was the best we've ever had, and the garlic naan was exceptional as well! The delightful flavors will definitely bring us back soon. If you're in the area, be sure to give this place a try!
