    We went last weekend & were curious as we heard it had changed ownership. It's always had a good reputation, & very busy previously with local customers in Peterculter. The decor is now bright & airy, nice & fresh, the layout has changed, no more booths, it's nicely laid out but gives each table space/privacy. Also really enjoyed the background music, created a lovely atmosphere, very Zen. We were greeted by the new owner Krish who also has 8848 on Union Street, extremely welcoming host, he assisted us with our choice from the new menu & also with Nepalese wine that is best suited to our meal. All staff were very pleasant & service is brilliant, all I can say is WOW!! We had a variety of different dishes, & were keen to try the traditional Nepalese cuisine. We shared the meat platter which came out sizzling with aromas that made your nose & taste buds come alive...the taste was magnificent with accompaniments chutneys, yoghurt dips etc that complimented the meat. Followed by momo/dumplings, butter chicken & monkfish. All the curry sauces were truly mouthwatering. Honestly I've never tasted such beautiful food, all very fresh, full of flavour & spice, & all things nice, but my tongue wasn't set on fire, it was mild/medium "heat" but the vegetables & dips also had a "cooling" effect...we also had the orange sorbet as a dessert whuch really cleansed the palate, everything just worked really well together. Something for everyone's palate/taste. Very clever/knowledgeable chef, who has obviously plenty training & experience. Was lovely to meet him after. Everyone so friendly & obliging. We left very full, but extremely happy, this is now our favourite restaurant, not just locally, but in Aberdeen. We are eager to go back & introduce our friends & family. Thank you so much to Krish & the team at Himalayas, very definitely a lovely night to remember & a place to revisit. We HIGHLY recommend trying this little gem to everyone. GO!! Xx

    We have ordered take out food from here on many occasions and have always been really happy. The food that was delivered last night went uneaten and bore absolutely no resemblance to the favourites that we always order. Also at £12.95 per main dish and £3 for boiled rice plus £3 delivery (about a mile and a half at most) and a service charge for a card payment, it was more like sit-in prices than take- out. Had the food been up to the standard that we are used to, all of that would have been fine but it wasn’t. Won’t be back.

    We have ordered takeaway from here twice before and both meals were absolutely delicious. However, after our most recent order two of us ended up with food poisoning and the other two had sore stomachs. Although the food is tasty, I have been put off from ordering here in the future.

    Very disappointing- we loved this place before it switched owners. Now the menu is not good, most of our favorites are gone. We ordered last night and the dairy free items we ordered were not dairy free and they forgot to deliver one of the breads. A real shame, like I said, we’re regulars. Probably not anymore.
