Himalayan Kitchen

If you're a passionate lover of Tibetan cuisine, you can’t get enough of momos! We indulged in a delicious spread, starting with steaming hot chicken momos and crispy fried momos that were simply irresistible—I could eat them forever! To elevate the experience, we also ordered savory chicken and vegetable chow mein, along with flavorful chicken fried rice. Each dish boasted a unique wok-tossed taste that was just divine. It was an unforgettable feast!

Delicious food, immaculate vibes, excellent service, great portions, reasonable prices - we will definitely be back. We got steamed chicken momo, Kelly’s beef momo (it’s fried), and shrimp chow mein and would recommend all of them. You won’t be disappointed!

What a perfect place to try Tibetan food made fresh and from scratch. The environment has a calm and positive vibe. Service was friendly and caring. Food was amazing! Can’t wait to come back and try something new. Very good menu. We love this restaurant.

This was amaaaaaazing! The service was impeccable. The food was melt in your mouth delicious. I drove an hour and 30 minutes to come here and it was totally worth it. I ordered four dishes so that I could have leftovers during the weekend. It’s THAT worth it!

I'm visiting from New York, and I've been craving authentic Tibetan food. This is the only Tibetan restaurant in Atlanta., and I'm so glad I found it! I had a beef thukpa and Kelly choice momo. The food here is absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavors. If you are looking for real Tibetan cuisine, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it-you definitely won't regret giving it a try!

Good Tibetan food and warm, friendly owner. This place came highly recommended by a friend and was not disappointed. Noodles and veggie thuptka were good. Veggie momo's filling was tasty, but the covering was chewy. If you are looking for fresh, warm, comforting Tibetian food, i would recommend trying this hole in a wall place

We recently visited Himalayan Kitchen for the first time. The place has a nice vibe of Tibetan culture. We ordered the chicken chowmein, Butter Curry Momos and Fried Chicken Momos, all of which were packed with flavor 😋 . Butter curry momos were served with a creamy sauce, while the Fried Chicken Momos had a crispy, satisfying texture and the chowmein was decent. That said, they were a tad oily for our taste, but a good spot to enjoy momos in Atlanta 😊.

Authentic Tibetan Food!!! Absolutely in love with this place. The ambiance is cozy and just like a Tibetan/ Nepali Cafe, perfect. Would highly recommend to try any type of momos. They are flavor bomb. Love the fact that they make everything fresh, that's why it might take a little while for food to be served.

This place is a MUST GO! There is ample street parking outside that is free. The place is quite big with lots of tables but coming here on a weeknight this place was FULL. This is a mom and pop place so keep that in mind as I've only ever saw the two owners cooking, taking orders, and bussing tables. However, there is GREAT QUICK NICE service always! She is always so cheerful, answers questions, and refills your waters attentively. The food comes out fairly quickly as well. We've gotten the butter curry momos and tibeten spicy momos. Pro strategy is get half chicken and half beef. Last time we were there they sold out of beef! Momos are a MUST here and you won't leave unhappy. We also grabbed some chicken chow mein and it was amazing. Definitely a place I love and will continue going back!

This place is truly a hidden gem Cannot believe we've lived in Smyrna for 5 years and just discovered the Himalayan Kitchen! You really cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, but some of our most favorite items are the Chicken Thukpa Soup, Special Chowmein, Chicken Fried Rice, and Beef Steamed Momo! The Momos take the cake for the best thing - but if you are looking for a great value, order the combo plate. This comes with the steamed momo, chicken fried rice and a soda for 16.95!

Tried the butter chicken momo and the tibetan spicy momos both were very tasty loved! Food was hot, fresh, and spicy. The restaurant was clean and felt cozy I would recommend for Momos

I've been wanting to go to this place for so long and am so glad I finally got the chance to go! I thought they had closed down permanently and was so sad but was excited to see they were only closed temporarily. Their Tibetan Spicy Momo was DELICIOUS. The skin of the momos were so chewy and slippery, which sounds weird but trust me, it was amazing. The sauce was also really good. It came with 8 momos and we were able to get half chicken and half beef. I got the beef thukpa, which was really good, I liked the noodles a lot, but I thought the broth was a little bland. It could've used more spices and salt. Our server was great. She was really nice and funny and super efficient. Great ambiance as well. I will definitely be coming here again for their moms!

The sheer ecstasy I felt when first biting into the Tibetan spicy momo with potato filling is something I wish for every person who is considering visiting Himalayan Kitchen. This establishment truly lives up to their name of BEST DUMPLINGS IN ATL!! Not only is the food fresh and oh so very flavorful, but it is also ready in a very timely manner. The inside of the restaurant was beautifully decorated and very clean. The service?? Quick and efficient! Will DEF be back. (Side note: do urself a favor and grab a mango lassi, literallyyy so tasty so delicious you won't regret it) .

We have tried this restaurant a couple of times. The steamed or lightly sautéed Momos are delicious. We recommend.

They are tooo good I love them and i am their regular customer Veg steam momos have tofu and all the exquisite veggies which are fresh. They make it fresh Too crowded Service is slow because of 2 people team Ambience gives a very tibetan vibe

I genuinely stumbled upon this place and decided to post about it on my food instagram. It blew up, and so has their business! I encourage everyone to be patient with the small staff of two as they iron out the increased demand. If you are kind & don't mind waiting, you will NOT be disappointed. Their Momos are worth every second of anticipation

Visited on a Friday night and the place was BUSY! The lady at the front was very attentive and made sure to let us know that there was a wait due to the restaurant having two people working. The food was WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!! Parking was easy and they had tvs to hep with the wait. Will be returning soon!

Best dumplings in Atlanta is not an understatement. Getting the food to go was a breeze and was neatly packaged, freshly prepared, and the quickest and most efficient service I've ever encountered from a resteraunt. Beautiful decor inside and again, everything was so neat and clean. Anyways, butter chicken momos are a must and so are the spicy tibetan dumplings. The sauces for all the dishes are incredible and still taste good reheated the next morning. Do yourself a service and pay them a visit.

Amazing food very busy had to take the food to go. Glad we live close by. Highly recommend this place. One of the best Asian food I've had in Atlanta/Smyrna. We had the spicy veggie Momo it was very spicy but very good. We also had Veggie chowmain great taste and perfect spicy. I can't wait to go back try other menu items. We saw others eating items they all looked really good.

Love this mom and pop shot that serves up consistently tasty Himalayan food! I love the momos and fried rice. The fried rice reminds me of what rice taste like when I eat takeout in New Jersey with my family but better!

This place was pretty good! The curry momos were my favorite. For dishes with even number of momos, they can do half pork half beef, which is really nice. Plenty of parking out front, too. The only thing I was disappointed by was the fact that it was served with plastic silverware.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Himalayan Kitchen yet! We've visited for takeout at least 6 times in the last year and a half, and their noodles are my absolute favorite restaurant noodle pick! Himalayan Kitchen was on my radar for restaurants to try once we moved to Smyrna thanks to the reviews. Then, a personal friend of mine who has great culinary taste told me that he stops by Himalayan Kitchen usually once a week to pick up food for his family. That was the final straw, and we visited for curry, noodles, dumplings, and lassi that week! We got the dumplings (momo) only once or twice. The wrapper is quite softer than I'm used to, but the main reason is my kids and husband weren't fans. They were a little saltier than I'd like, but I'd be happy to eat them again. Our main love is those noodles, which my children will gobble up! When I want comfort food I don't have to cook myself, I ask for those noodles. The mango lassi, too, is excellent with fully balanced flavors. One of my young daughters used a feeding tube and was in feeding therapy to build her eating skills for a while. She can *crush* some mango lassi, y'all! That is... as long as there's some left in the cup once I get home with the takeout! Himalayan Kitchen is 100% worth a visit! Find it in a hole-in-the-wall suite next to a landromat and enjoy!

My first time trying momo at Himalayan Kitchen! Why am I only just now discovering this little gem in Smyrna? I came in and walked up to the counter and ordered a steamed beef momo to go. Service was prompt and the ambiance was quaint. I love seeing the Tibetan art on the walls. The momo. I order to go. The momo didn't make it home. We devoured it on the way home after a small taste. It was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The little side sauce packed a lot of spicy flavor. It was hot but not unbearably hot. Definitely recommend seeking out this little gem for dine in or takeout. It's no frills and all about the food and love that goes into making it. The restaurant is located in the Five Points Shopping Center off a roundabout. There's a few small shops here and there's lots of parking.

Amazing dumplings, try them in the curry sauce. Shout out to the women running the place, it can get crazy packed and they hold it down.

I never really venture out in the direction of Smyrna, as I live ITP and usually go towards Buford Hwy when I go OTP. But I happened to be in that area the other night and had dinner with my usual dinner buddy and some family, and boy do I regret not having tried Himalayan Kitchen sooner. This restaurant is everything I want (good food made to order with passion) without any pretense or unnecessary frills. Some of the decor is odd (the mannequin with soulless eyes dressed in traditional clothing) and some is beautiful (the panels showing the striking landscape of the Himalayas) but the atmosphere overall is cozy and welcoming. If you come here, you have to try the momos. I am personally partial to steamed varieties, but they have other options, too. We tried the steamed beef momos and the steamed veggie momos. Each comes on a plate of 8, accompanied by pickled vegetables and some sort of chili sauce for dipping. If their other dishes weren't so good, I would just stuff myself on momos. The beef momos are savory, really brings out the flavor of the beef, intensely juicy. The momo skins are not paper thin like you would see in a Chinese dumpling, yet they are not overly thick and I think they need to be a little thick to complement the large amount of filling and flavor on the inside. The pickled vegetables are not overly sour but do cut the richness nicely. The chili sauce I wish I could buy by the bottle because it is THE perfect dipping sauce. I did not find it overly spicy but my dinner buddies were a bit spiced, so proceed with caution. The veggie momos were clearly made by someone who appreciates vegetarianism and cares about making veggie options just as good as omnivorous options. The wrapping for these is actually green, and the stuffing comprises finely chopped veggies, tofu, and I think mushrooms, all well seasoned and not watery at all like some veggie dumpling fillings can be. DO NOT SKIP THE MOMOS under any circumstances. At our table, we tried the chicken thukpa, veggie thukpa, beef chow mein, and the house special chow mein. The thukpa broth is incredible, and I finished almost all of it. The noodles remain chewy in the hot broth, and there are plenty of veggies and flavorful chicken in this super satisfying bowl. I heard rave reviews for the veggie thukpa. The chow mein has lots of wok hey, the noodles are nice and chewy, and they are generous with the toppings. Portions are generous but not scary. Because they make everything to order, food does not come out super quickly, but the wait times are definitely reasonable. I would come out to Smyrna just for this place.

I was so excited to find Tibetan food in Altanta. We drove more than an hour from the northern suburbs to get here through Friday evening traffic. When we got here, the place wasn't even full. But since it's small and there were quite a few people, we decided to do a takeout order. The owner was super rude and said "I can't take any orders right now". I understand it's a small establishment and that they might be overwhelmed. But... the tone was extremely hurtful. It was quite humiliating to be spoken to in that rude tone, in front of so many people. Extremely bad experience.

The soup I got was so delicious and perfect for this cold weather! I definitely wanna go back and try the chicken and beef momo! The potato was so good! They had a spicy sauce that came with it! There was only one server at the time and it started getting packed! She was very nice! Would definitely come again!

Came here for a dinner with some of my coworkers and was extremely satisfied. For the price, speed of service and quality of food this small woman-owned restaurant hits the spot. This is definitely one of those hole in the wall places that you drive past until someone tells you its worth the try then you cant stop going back.

We arrived at the restaurant at 7pm on a typical Friday night. As soon as we entered we stood at the doorway without being greeted for a solid 3 mins, then the waitress finally looked at us and said it will take over an hour to get food out. She didn't even ask us if we would still like a table. We continued to stand there waiting to be seated and asked her if we can be seated. She said we have to wait and eventually seated us and mentioned again how long the food would take. As we were sat at our table, I observed how she spoke to other customers, constantly telling them they need to wait their turn and that she is busy. We were so disgusted, we just walked out and went to Kathmandu Kitchen instead. The food there was great and service on point. I understand that they were busy and that the kitchen was backed up, but there are ways to communicate better and more respectfully to your customers. I really hope to try this again, but after the long drive to get there and the way we were treated, I doubt it.

I was looking forward to trying this place but wasn't able to due to bad customer service. The restaurant is super cute inside and the food looks great, but the woman working refused to take my Togo order simply because it was busy. Given there were still empty tables I was confused by this. I was willing to wait but she practically shooed me out the door. Very strange.

We visited on a Friday at prime lunch rush. The restaurant was full with a wait for both a table and the food. With only two people apparently working this charming spot, I can say it was worth the wait. We ordered Butter Curry Momo, Indian style french fries, beef soup, and dry fried beef with hand pulled noodles. Everything was very good, but the surprise favorite was the India-style fries. This is a charming and homey little spot and worth the drive from town.

As always the steamed chicken momos were amazing. Very well seasoned, made fresh with a wonderful very hot dipping sauce.

Delicious. There is a reason the place is busy on Saturday night even though it's a small off the beaten path restaurant.

Visited this establishment for lunch since I had heard so many good things. I was NOT disappointed! The food is incredible! Very seldom do you taste homemade essence and love in restaurant food but Himalayan Kitchen pours so much flavor and authenticity into their dishes. We ordered the butter curry momos, veggie noodle soup, and beef fried rice. The dumplings were decadent and filling! The noodles were also spectacularly chewy and juicy. All of our food was served hot and fresh, really nice since the weather has been so cold. Portion sizes are not skimpy either! Service is beyond exceptional; our waitress was on top of making sure we had all we needed at the table and even gave us updates on how close our food was to being done. The restaurant itself is a canvas of Tibetan culture and lively decorum. The dining area and bathroom were very clean! Loved this place and will be back!

Having never had Tibetan food I came here solely off the YELP recommendations. I did not enjoy the food here and will not return, but I'm glad I tried it. I ordered a bit of everything- dumplings (momos), rice, spicy chicken (chicken chilli). I did not enjoy any of it. I recognize this is a personal preference so I may be in the minority. I was not impressed or even pleased with the flavors. I found the food to lack seasoning, but again I've never had this cuisine before. I was expecting some familiar Asian flavors (Chinese, Indian, etc) but nothing was familiar or tasty. I thought the dumpling skins were too thick and the filling needed seasoning. The ordering process was easy, just call it in. The wait time was about 30 mins during lunch time. The staff was nice. Price wise, lunch specials will run somewhere between $12-15 drinks included. It's a small restaurant with tables for dine in. I saw a sign that said something to the effect of "enjoy your meal phone free." I received a note from Yelp HQ that I may have posted this review on the wrong page...but nope...this is the right review for the correct restaurant.

Food portions are good size Various spice levels available (mild is pretty tasty) Momos are DELICIOUS. Indoor seating only. Nice intimate mom and pop joint. Calming vibe. Food was tasty, cooked fresh. Staff very friendly

The food was very bland and sad. We ordered a noodle dish that all I could taste was grease. There were tiny bits of meat and tiny slivers of a few vegetables, other than that it was just greasy noodles. We also ordered the dumplings which are their are specialty, and honestly the ones from Costco are way better. The service was very abrupt as well. There was only one lady serving everyone, but still...when she threw the menus on the tables and quickly left, I had a feeling this was going to be a regrettable dining experience. I gave it 2 stars, which I think is generous. I'm very surprised by all the 5 star reviews. The food here is mediocre at best.

Authentic Himalayan food in Atlanta! This place is a gem, truly a great and unique spot. Restaurant has great decorations and food held up after takeout.

It was a cozy setting very clean . The service for one person to be running the whole show it is what is expected felt a little rushed never had this cuisine before so had few questions but no clear answers and again it got so crowded so fast that I totally felt rushed . The food for most part was average, the dumplings they made Were good the ones from factory were just that nothing special. They were out of some key ingredients which I think would have made all the difference but I have to speak honestly about my experience. Would I go there again maybe I would give the lunch time a try as dinner was a hectic one . It is very pricey ! If you want just a different experience then try it but make sure you order all at once and be ready to wait a long time . If you wanted to add to your order after just forget about it I was told it would more than an hour to get that additional dish we ordered . I am not one to feel that I was discriminated against but I was the first person to walk in when they opened and I ordered when we came in and many people followed and a lot of them got their orders before us and no we did not order anything special . Again it is highly debatable if I will go again but just my thought ! Parking is not easy in this place .

Food is good, hot and fresh. Very carb heavy - which isn't a bad thing! But don't expect to have fresh sides or anything without noodles or dumpling wrapper. It almost feels like more of an appetizer place and would definitely be back for momo (dumplings)!! Really want to try the butter curry next.

Honestly... chefs KISS! Best food that I had in Atlanta HANDS DOWN. I felt that I was sitting down in my Asian grandma's house and getting back to my ROOTS and I'm not even Asian! LOVED the food and I'll definitely become a regular.

I missed the momo's, and this place didn't fail! Amazing food, whatever we ordered!

Himalayan Kitchen is a small Tibetan restaurant in a strip mall off the road, surrounded by small shops and parking. They are not currently allowing dine in service - there is takeout only. The interior is cute- colorful, cultural flags and pictures around the walls giving it a nice ambience. PS - the meat in the restaurant is NOT halal, so we had vegetarian only. The food we had was the vegetarian momos and the vegetarian chow mein. The chow mein tasted very similar to a Chinese lo mein, just with slightly thinner noodles. The flavor was decent- hints of soy sauce and vinegar - with some spice to amp it up. 3.5/5 The momos were steamed, filled well with veggies and served with some cabbage and carrots as well as a mild chili sauce on the side. 4/5 Overall, decent place to try some Tibetan food.

The chicken fried rice was really good, I was just a tad bit upset that the didn't have any sauce besides soy sauce and a hot sauce (I'm a sauce guy) The reason it's a 3 is because of the Momo. I've never had momo before but based off of the description and picture I compared it to Gyoza. The momo was mushy and lacked flavor. If I didn't have the momo, I would have given them 4 stars. May or may not come back Rating: Basic

The food is so amazing! The momo's and the veggie noodle soup is so fresh and hearty.

Ehh, food just wasn't that good .... They were short staffed. One server for the whole restaurant , who also ran food , drinks and took take out orders. Maybe an off night, but just not for me

Food is phenomenal! I had the chicken fried rice (mild) and it was DIVINE. My sister had the potato Momos and they were fire. I will definitely be coming back whenever I'm in town. Great hole in the wall. Fast and friendly service. Check it out if you're in the area!

I've been eyeing Himalayan Kitchen for a long time, and now I'm kicking myself for not going earlier!! Small menu with great prices for some bomb Tibetan food. COVID timed review, the restaurant is only open for takeout and has ample hand sanitizer, social distancing spots marked, disinfected + used pen cups, everyone wearing masks.... basically felt very safe. I called ahead and it was ready in 25 minutes; their menu is online. The spot itself has plenty of parking; looks a bit unassuming but damn. This food was good. I split the butter curry chicken momos with my boyfriend; momos are doughy dumplings and they are just warm and savory and comforting, especially with the sauce. I got the beef thupka, which is a savory soup that has great richness (and super warm for a chilly night!) My friends got the chicken chili and sweet and sour chicken and really enjoyed it; note the chili is basically a curry and comes with rice; either mild or hot. Overall, super tasty. I talked to the woman at the front (I think the owner) and she was super friendly - this is one of the only spots for Tibetan food in ATL, so I highly recommend trying it if you haven't already! Super delicious, and it was well worth the great price.

This is a wellll overdue review but I visited Himalayan Kitchen in June and everytime I've thought of it since my mouth starts watering! I had the momo butter curry to go and it was delicioussss. Seriously guys it was so smooth and velvety, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. One of those meals you eat with a smile on your face and feel sad when it's over. I highly recommend coming here! Especially this year where many restaurants are in need of support. This is one of those places that needs to stay open for a long time.

Liked - Liked - Liked - Liked - Liked - Liked Sit Down & Full Service: the pictures didn't look like you could Veggie Butter Curry Momo : ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Sauce was not too spicy and the texture was smooth and rich. Dumpling Ratio to the Sauce was perfect! The cabbage salad was so tasty to. WINNER!! Chicken fried Rice: My friend enjoyed Complimentary hot Green Tea: wonderful surprise Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - Disliked It doesn't look as appealing as it really is but that's only because of the outside plaza. Their veggie MOMO/Dumpling option is not on the menu. I only knew about this because of a previous yelp review and because I asked. I'm SOOOOOO glad I ran upon this information because the Veggie Option was wonderful!! I would hate for others to miss out.

They are not open according to the posted hours. They turned us away at 7pm on a Friday.

We stopped in on our way home from ATL and so glad we did. We had some dumplings, fried rice, and chili chicken. It was all super delicious! The dumplings were very tasty along with the sauce that can with them. I really enjoyed the chili chicken as it was more of a curry stew as opposed to a stir fry and it came with steamed rice. The owners were super nice and it was a great overall experience!!!

What an incredible experience. This place is a hidden gem that we're so glad we visited. The food is incredibly flavorful. I'm a dumpling lover and this is perfect for those days I just want tons of them. We tried the chicken chili which comes with steamed rice -- Wow. So yummy. Will definitely be returning to try the other things they have like noodles and soup.

This is definitely a go-to spot for fresh and delicious dumplings. I love how their entrées come in two different styles, either Indian or Chinese. The family that owns this place is super nice. I love the interior design and decorations. Plenty of parking. I'm only taking off one star because the portion sizes of the entrées are a little bit small for me. I nearly always have leftovers wherever I go, but here the portion sizes here are able to be finished in one sitting for me.

This place is SOOOO good! First time trying it after hearing many rave about it. It's got a great vibe and is a hole in the wall with amazing homemade food clearly made from the heart. Will be a regular for sure!!

We have just moved to Smyrna a couple of weeks ago and this place came HIGHLY recommended by friends in the area so we had to check it out quickly. They are only doing takeout orders at the moment so I placed the order over the phone and it was ready in about 20 minutes. The staff was very friendly when I walked in. We tried to chicken fried rice and momo and we were not disappointed! Portions are generous for the price and everything was delicious! We highly enjoyed both dishes and will absolutely be putting this in our regular rotation. Similar to my friends, I will be sending people to Himalayan Kitchen from now on!

I wouldn't say it was bad, it just wasn't a meal it was more of a snack. I ordered the curry, Momo combination, beef and chicken. It came out as six dumplings covered in sauce on a paper plate with a plastic fork and plastic water cup. The water in the cup was warm, so I ordered Coca-Cola in a can and she just handed me the can no straw no cup no ice. with a 15% tip the sent me back $20. I could've done a lot better for $20 Momo, I believe it's just the translation for dumplings nothing exciting
