Great spice levels! - Edit
Taste of the Himalayas is a great option for vegans and spice enthusiasts! They offer a wide variety dishes that can be made vegan! The staff is knowledgeable about vegan needs and can easily guide you through the menu. The bonus lentil soup starter was a nice touch too!
Read moreVegan Friendly: Tons of options! Almost everything in the Vegetarian Tarkari (Curry) section can be made vegan, with just a couple exceptions.
Spice Level: They cater to all palates. I ordered a 4/10 on the spice scale and it had a good kick, but wasn't overwhelming. They can definitely crank it up for those who like it hotter.
Appetizers: The samosas and papad were delicious - perfect for sharing!
Overall, Taste of the Himalayas is a great place to enjoy flavorful Himalayan cuisine, especially if you're looking for a spicy challenge!

tasty and vegan friendly - Edit
Tasty food. The staff is super nice and accommodating to the vegan diet. Our server said they can make almost anything on the menu vegan. Since I'm a big baby about spiciness, I appreciated that they could customize the spicy level down to basically zero. The samosas were large, fresh, and delicious.

Awesome - Edit
The food was really good but you have to make sure to tell them you are vegan and ask for the vegan versions. They can modify any of the vegetarian entrees except one.
