We chose this restaurant by chance and it was a good choice. The server did everything to accommodate us. After 5 minutes of waiting in the small lounge, we got our table where we opted for the "tasting of several dishes" formula at 12,000 crowns for 2 = (90 euros or 45 euros per person). It was very good and plentiful. The service was perfect. We thank you.

Absolutely fantastic family run restaurant. I’ve not tasted food this good as this since I was invited to eat at Nepalese friends house 25 years ago. Spices are perfectly balanced in everything. We shared, lamb chops, momos platter, chicken tikka, veg pakora, poppadoms. Having Icelandic lamb cooked in such a special way was the highlight for me along with the rhubarb cocktail. Prices were very affordable for Iceland and our hosts, service was top notch. We all had a different cocktail each so I can say they are all mega tasty. Needless to say I’m currently trying to work out when I can squeeze in another visit before I leave. Thanks for a fantastic evening

We booked online and communication around our booking was excellent. Restaurant in a nice location on the old harbour, we enjoyed a wander around before our meal. The staff were so warm and welcoming and the service exceptionally. They happily explained the menu and there were lots of vegetarian options which we appreciated. We had vegetable Momos (fried) Himalayan Vegetable Curry and Vegetable Biriyani to share. The food was so fresh tasting, gorgeous. There was a nice atmosphere in the restaurant, lots of laughter. Everywhere in Reykjavik is very expensive compared to UK prices. We felt that compared to other meals we had during our Reykjavik stay our meal here offered more value for money. Happy to recommend.

We ended up there by chance because the restaurant next door, famous for its fish skewers, had run out of salmon. It was lucky! Very good food and very kind staff. If you are Italian (but not Calabrian) ask for everything not spicy because even medium spicy sets your mouth on fire. The lamb was good but had a very strong flavour, the salmon was excellent and very spicy, the nun bread delicious both with garlic and normal, and finally the ravioli taken as a starter were also excellent. €40 per person and free water, prices in line with the Icelandic capital. Absolutely recommended, especially for the welcome and availability never found in other places in Iceland.

Had seen the reviews for Himalayan Spice and had to give it a try. Had the Himalayan Sharing platter for two, Tandoori Chicken Vegetable and Chicken Momo's Prawns, Tikka Masala, Vegetable curry and Naan. Quality of the food was excellent, tender flavourful chicken, the Tikka Masala wasn't your usual British flavours much more tasty. Veg Curry had a nice kick and was more than enough for 2. Not going to complain about the price, it's Iceland expect to pay £20-£30 more than in a UK restaurant. Only gripe, the Nepalese music, very repetitive and could do with going down a notch :). Would recommend the restaurant for groups and couples, Attentive staff and great décor, located by the harbour about a 10 minute walk from the main shopping road.

Brilliant menu with fantastic choice of gluten free options and those with a nut allergy. Almost the whole menu was suitable and the staff were really accommodating and made the whole visit welcoming and not an inconvenience as some places do. Great food too. Definitely recommend.

I visit a Nepalese restaurant in my hometown in the UK quite often, it is run by an ex Gurkha. So I tried Himalayan Spice on my visit to Reykjavik and was not disappointed, in fact I went twice I enjoyed it so much. Very friendly people, great service and tasty food. If you’re unsure about trying it they will take the time to explain any of the dishes.

I am not in the habit of leaving reviews but feel I had to as I am a member of a Curry Club in the UK and know when I have a great curry. This Nepalese restaurant was absolutely excellent; the ambience was great, the starter and main course were fresh, spicy and absolutely excellent. It happened to be my 60th Birthday while in Reykjavik and the restaurant staff surprised me with a birthday desert and candle which was very thoughtful and kind of them.

I've been living in Iceland for 10 years and love trying different restaurants here. My partner and I had an amazing dinner here on a Friday night. It was our first time going here and just stopped by on a whim. The food was so delicious and fresh with really good flavors I haven't had din Iceland before. My partner had the chicken biryani and I had the momo tasting platter. The portion sizes were bigger than most Icelandic places, but not overpriced for Reykjavík - so it felt like a good value for the size and quality. Service was friendly and fast. We will definitely make this a regular date night location for us. Thanks for making our tummy's so happy 😊

We came here and had the Himalayan sharing platter for 2 (chicken tikka, masala, veg curry, two types of dumpling, prawns, rice, naan and sauces). My son had the poppadoms and rice … I know… Venue was nice, good ambiance and service was attentive. The food came out to a nice sizzling platter display and good fragrance. For us, the food was nice but that was about it… chicken was nice but no big flavours, Masala silky and tasty but still quite mild flavours. Not a fan of either dumpling. Prawn was very tender but flavour again okay. Wife loved the butter naan though… ordered extras. So it’s nice, but didn’t have the flavours I’d need to hit a 5.

Really enjoyed our visit to Himalayan Spice. We love Himalayan cuisine, although we have had better in Estes Park, CO and Jackson Hole, WY. The pros is that they accept reservations and were open during the Easter Holiday. The chili momos were excellent, as was the garlic naan. The cons were the prices and spice level. We paid over $100 USD for 1 appetizer, 1 entree, 1 beer, 1 cocktail, and 1 side of naan. The spice level of the lamb curry was also not spicy at all. I will say the flavors were pretty good— we found that Iceland cuisine does not contain much seasoning or spice. I would probably ask for extra spicy.

This restaurant is superb. The food was delicious, with generous portions and presented beautifully. The staff were welcoming, helpful and professional in every way. They clearly take pride in what they do. It was by far the best restaurant we visited in the course of a four day trip to Reykavik and also the best value. I recommended it to friends who were visiting a month later and they also had a really great experience.

We turned up on the off chance on the way back to the hotel after a busy day and it was fully booked, we were told they could book us a table in an hour which we had no problem waiting for as the food smelled delicious! Came back and had the most fantastic food, so flavourful! The vegetable pakoras were devine and my partner has not stopped talking about the lamb Sekuwa, the mains were to die for too. I'm coeliac so have to be very careful with what I eat and the lady serving us was very helpful advising what I could have off the menu and double checking with the chef that it was fully gluten free. The food seemed a bit on the pricey side but that being said it was our first meal in Reykjavik so it's probably the norm and we enjoyed every bite, the portions were generous so no complaints from us at all! Highly recommend a visit!

We stumble upon this amazing restaurant later in the evening on the way back to our Airbnb and took a chance trying it out without any recommendations beforehand. We were beyond satisfied with a delicious appetizer of masala shrimp and dinners of lamb curry and chicken biryanis (I had no idea what to order but took a chance and was amazed). The staff was very accommodating and courteous, considering the fact that we walked in about a half hour before closing and stayed for dessert, as we didn’t know what time they closed. A big thanks to the staff for their hospitality. It’s a ‘must try’ restaurant when in Reykjavik even if you’ve never had Napalese cuisine like us. You won’t be disappointed. :)
