Have been here several times and always come back with business colleagues. The food is good for lunch.

close to messukeskus for a quick lunch, at least on weekdays. not sure about opening and service on weekends. had the buffet. service quite blunt even for finnish standard. two meat options, two vegetarian. chicken and lamb. meat seemed of odd color, maybe the spices,...don't know. food was ok but nothing special really. naan bread is good addition. lassi for dessert was more like strawberry yoghurt. for a bit of a different daytime quickie near messukeskus this is ok.More

Mero-Himal is a good option for takeout food near the convention centre. They are not busy in the evening. I ordered two meals with rice and naan and the portions were enough for two people for two nights - leftovers the next day. Food was...prepared promptly. I neglected to ask for utensils or napkins or plates and they don't automatically give you these things, so keep that in mind. Menu seemed more Indian than Nepali. 10% discount on takeaway orders.More

We stopped at Mero-Himal during a conference as Messekeskus. It was close enough for a leisurely walk and the buffet was hot and fresh. Most of our group went back for seconds because the food was so tasty. A good option for conference attendees who...are tired of the food options in the convention center.More

I have only had lunch but it has always been very tasty and great quality. Lunch time there is served rice with three to four different nepalese type dish (lam,vege,chicken, and one extra). Place is busy at noon. Sweet creamy spicy tea is my favorite.

I have to say, the location of this restaurant isn't too tempting. If you want a table with a view ... well, in this neighborhood you don't - unless you've just got out of prison. Foodwise, I was expecting a lot more from this place...after reading the reviews here. Since my stomach can't handle chili too well, I decided to ask the waiter to recommend a not too hot lamb dish for me. He recommended "KHASIKO MASU", stewed lamb pieces in a tomato- onion-curry sauce, a lamb dish with no chili peppers marked in the menu (indicating the hotness of the food). So I went with it. But I had to ask the waiter, if the chef had forgot something from the food, since I only tasted the lamb in the food. I said this to the waiter and he said, "well, since there's no chili ...". I'm not a chef, but even I know tastelessness has nothing to do with the absence of chili. And I wasn't alone with my opinion. A friend of mine took the same dish (lamb dish, since I recommended :-/) and he agreed with me, no taste in the sauce whatsoever. No taste in tomato/curry sauce? How is that even possible? Can't and won't complain about the service, but it isn't a reason enough to visit again in this restaurant.More

Mostly serving buffet lunch, catering to office workers. Good variety of Indian food, the veggie options are often a bit on the dry side. Reasonable price, and it includes coffee or nepalese spicy milk tea. Often crowded at lunchtime. The spice level is moderate, so...you are not likely to exit in flames. Friendly service, and contrary to "normal" Finnish lunch restaurants, somebody takes care of your used plates.More

Very good service, delicious food. This is my new go to take away. The food is very tasty and although I prefer take away because I live close to the restaurant, the dining area is very nice too. I recommend this restaurant.

I eat in this restaurant at least once a week, sometimes even more. The lunch is really tasty with usually three different dishes at buffet and one daily special. The restaurant has been renovated and it looks really good now. The staff is always friendly....Avoid going there at 11.30 because it really crowded then.More
