Staying at a hotel cattycorner from there. Was happy to see something open Thanksgiving night close by. The food was great. The inside is pretty and the staff were super nice. I'd eat here again!

I had a wonderful dining experience at Himalayan Doko restaurant yesterday! The food was delicious - the cheese naan, malai kofta, and paneer tikka were all perfectly prepared. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant itself had a great ambiance and was well-maintained. Overall, I highly recommend Himalayan Doko for a great meal! ❤️

I was very disappointed with the food. The goat curry I got was very salty. The rice they gave us was not fresh at all. You could easily tell it was old rice. The mango and pistachio kulfi we ordered were tasting weird and bad. I’ll not go back to this place.

The service was great but the food sucked. The lamb biriyani was very sour and the chicken 65 was too salty. The thali was average at best. The only good thing was probably the naan. For the amount I paid , this was a very disappointing experience. Would not recommend wasting money here.

The food and service here are excellent. We visited with friends and enjoyed a variety of appetizers—samosa, pakora, and chicken sekhuva, which were all outstanding. We also tried the chicken and veg momos, which were delicious, and the noodles, which were quite good. The highlight, though, was the kulfi served with mango cream and a lovely garnish. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend trying their chicken sekhuva and kulfi!

Delicious food, and the portions were big! Too big in fact for one person. I don't know if they do half orders, but I couldn't eat my meal and I felt bad throwing some of it out because it was so good. When I asked for minimum spice, they did a good job of keeping it flavourful but not too much for my palette. Excellent quality food!

Incredible Nepalese / Indian restaurant located in the heart of downtown DC. I visited this delightful little restaurant for a Friday dinner and was thoroughly impressed — the food was fantastic, the service was friendly and efficient, and the space was lovely. The restaurant is divided into two spaces; there’s a small waiting area immediately by the door, then a couple of steps that take you to the host stand and main dining area. The main area is quite cozy, with rows of comfy booths and standard tables arranged below a gorgeous pair of chandeliers. Each booth is adorned with a miniature blue and white glass lamp, which adds to the cozy, intimate, and slightly fancy vibes. My friend and I split the fish thali meal and vegetarian jhol momos. Both dishes were super flavorful and expertly prepared. The thali meal came with several small dishes around a bed of rice, including a fish curry, lentils, cauliflower curry; spinach, and single gulab jamun. Every item was delicious, and it was a great way to sample a wide variety of items. I was a bit surprised that nothing was spicy, but everything had a deep, rich, and complex flavor. Each dish was super unique, but they complemented each other well. Most of the items are standard across all of Himalayan Doko’s thalis, but you can choose between fish, chicken, beef, or a vegetarian item for your main protein. The jhol momos were also fantastic; the dumplings were quite large and packed with veggies. The wrapper was thin and had a slight snap, and the soup was nice and very comforting on this cold winter evening. All around a great spot for a casual, comforting meal. Can’t wait to come back and try out more of their menu!
