Took us too long to try this Indian gem. Everything we ordered had a depth of flavor like no other. Very happy that it's really close to our house. We started out with the sampler appetizer which was fantastic. We also had the tandoori chicken and vindaloo chicken with a side of garlic naan. They provide generous portions and we could've had 2 more people to help us. Luckily it will be great leftovers. The staff is very friendly as well. Definitely will be our go to for Indian food.

The moment we walked in the aromas of the foods all came at us and got us even more excited for our upcoming meal. It was pretty busy but still some seating available. Others grabbed food to go near the door as well. Our waters always stayed filled, with the servers all being very attentive. the food was delicious, and everything was very clean. Noise volume was midrange, which is very appropriate for the setting. The only real downside to our visit was how long it took to get our food, but once it started to come out of the kitchen it was all fresh, hot, and came out all together.

There's a lot of great things always said about this place. Some say it's a hidden gem. I frequent the Sprouts and Esporta that share the plaza, so it's never been so hidden to me. This was the first time I considered giving it a try. I don't come across many bad Indian spots and here was no different. The ambience inside is nice and I had some time so I dined in. Lots of tables for groups or even solo diners. I was helped quickly and served in a timely manner. From the lentil soup to the main course, everything was satisfying. My samosas were big and filling. My tikka masala was great, with big chunks of fish. Not sure how common it is but I would've preferred a brown rice option, but that's a small gripe of mine. Looking forward to returning and trying something else.

Yum!!!! We waited a long time, too long in fact to go here. Now we cannot wait to get back. Our buddies had agreed to join us some time ago but you know, life. We had a birthday to celebrate so we stopped in and man is it as tasty as shared! My experience with Indian food has been that I can never find it made as authentic and as spiced just right, meat stewed perfectly, garlic naan made perfectly - as I can in Salisbury, England (my husband's hometown). Well we have!!! In our current hometown. We are so going to be regulars here now. My hubs makes curries for us too but he deserves a break now and then. Ha! Our kids will love it here!

Vynikající jídlo!! Yummy!! We tried this place out today. Himalayan Taste Temecula is in the Esporta/NFCU shopping center off Winchester & Nicolas, right across Chaparral HS. Upon walking in, I was greeted with that yummy, delicious, aromatic smell of Indian spices. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, 2 orders of the Garlic Naan (since they don't give you any w your entree), and the Saag Paneer for my daughter. Since I placed the order there, I kinda had to wait a long minute before I got my takeout order (which was cool, since i didn't mind waiting). Jack (guy at the counter) offered me a cup of iced water while I waited, and I thought that was very nice of him. Chicken Tikka Masala was very good. Vynikající!! It was flavored with lots of spices and very flavorful. We got it medium level spicy, but it was pretty spicy (that's ok, I like my food on fire, yum)!! I also liked how it was made with white meat chicken breast. Saag Paneer was alright. It was more on the bland side, it wasn't as flavorful as other Saag Paneers I've had from other places. Garlic Naan was delicious!! It had bits and pieces of fresh garlic and chopped cilantro which gave it a really scrumptious taste!! This was even amazing by itself, without dipping it in the Saag Paneer or the Chicken Tikka Masala. I've yet to try other items from here. Service was good and food was fiiiire!! Definitely recommend!!
