Himalaya - Ulm

I visited this place with a vegan Indian colleague who had difficulty finding suitable food in the center of the pig belt. I had high hopes since finally there was a native Indian to show me the ropes. Indian food can be an explosion of well tuned exotic spices. We were seated outside immediately. The place on this Thursday evening was only half full. We started with 2 appetizers which were some kind batter fried vegetable matter that could not be differentiated from one another. Blah. The accompanying sauces were microscopic portions and except for the green concoction were also blah. The main meals were a combo called thalis. I ordered meat including lamb, chicken and veg. He ordered veg. It was served with a massive piece of hot buttered nan bread, probably the best part of my meal. The stewed meats were over cooked,under spiced and over salted. They all tasted the same. There was an undressed salad on the side. I left half the food after having tried to dilute the salty concoction in basmati rice, the latter which was dry and cold. The drink recommended was a yogurt mango concoction that was mire of a dessert and which was recommended to offset the spice. What spice?I ordered a cup of chai which was indeed delicious. Bread and tea is not what I consider to be good Indian food. I will skip this place next time and have an excuse and have something else to do when dinner calls with my vegan colleague. Life is too short for bad food. Perhaps the Hindu god Vishnu should pay a blessing to this place and find them a new chef. Good service for what it's worth.

We were enjoying the appetizers and ambience until the main courses arrived. The curry and briyani were way too salty for our taste. Other than that, it was a decent restaurant.

I am visiting this restaurant for last 10 years and really likes the food served here, mainly the lamb items - lamb vindaloo and bhuna lamb. They also have good options for vegetarians - bengan bharta. Mango lassi is a must try here. Overall u can enjoy great Indian food here.

The Himalaya has a lunch buffet for a reasonable price. Food is decent, but nothing special. Service is ok.

Very nice indian restaurant, friendly staff, nice interior with view on the Rathaus. Good food for a fair price. Portions are big enough also.
