Has now become a state street institution. Little place for fresh food, dal, veggie platters and sandwiches, and fun finger food. A healthy respite during a busy day. more

While in Madison for the Dalai Lama's visit, we had dinner at Himal Chuli. It's definitely a popular "hole-in-the-wall" sort of place, and I had pretty high expectations. Unfortunately, it was hot and crowded, and they seemed to be out of several items although it was fairly early in the evening. We liked our salads, but the momo-cha were disappointing.... more

I live in Florida now, and haven't been to Himal Chuli in years. Planning a trip back home this year, and wanted to see if they're still there -- I'm so glad to see they are!

This place really has very good food. Though from India I can not claim to have had nepali food earlier, but i dont really care if it is authentic or not till it tastes good and feels healthy, which certainly was the case with this place. also, its easy on the stomach, simple, not too spicy. more

I was rather disappointed. The food wasn't very good, the portions were small and the prices were too much(average over $10 for a meal.) I was not at all impressed or happy with the situation. more
