If you’re craving the authentic, flavorful, and perfectly balanced Indian food in Pacific Beach, look no further than Himalayan Spice and Savor. This new spot isn’t just good, it’s hands-down THE best Indian restaurant in Pacific Beach. Trust me. I’ve tried every single spot and this one blows them away. Every dish bursts with flavor, and the menu offers both amazing classics and unique specialties that I constantly find myself craving.
The Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken are spot-on: creamy, rich, and perfectly spiced. A more unique favorite of mine is the Coconut Chicken Curry. It’s a refreshing twist that blends fragrant coconut with tender chicken in a curry sauce that smells so good that I wanna bathe in it haha.
They also have an extensive selection of Indian breads which are all fuego. Especially the garlic and chili naan (Bullet Naan). It’s the perfect mix of spice, garlic, and chew; ideal for soaking up every last bit of sauce.
Another reason this spot stands out is the value. The portions are good and the pricing feels just right for the quality you get. It’s hard to find restaurants in PB that strike this balance, but Himalayan Spice and Savor absolutely nails it.
Pacific Beach is a super tough neighborhood for restaurants. Too many great places have come and gone. Mainly because it’s so many seasonal tourists now. But honestly, I pray to the Indian food gods this restaurant doesn’t shut down. It’s a true treasure in PB’s food scene and deserves WAY more recognition. I’m hoping it’s just because they just opened and need to work on their marketing, but the place definitely needs more customers! So please go check them out!! You won’t regret it!!
Everything we tried was excellent, from start to finish. Flavorful curries, fresh naan, generous portions, and great prices. Himalayan Spice and Savor is hands down THE top Indian restaurant in Pacific Beach. Five stars all the way. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
