Quality, affordable Indian food- right in downtown Durango
You’ve got to try the Himalayan Kitchen. They bring authentic flavors of the high-mountain regions of Tibet, Nepal, and India to your table right here in Durango, CO. The food is delicious, take for example the traditional Nepalese Daal Bhat (Tarkaari-veggie; Maasu-meat). With this, you get rice, lentils, naan, raita and cucumber served with two separate dishes of veggie curry (Maasu comes with one meat and one veggie) plus dessert for $16.99, order an appetizer of MoMo’s or Samosas and it is easily enough food to share between two.
Karma Bhotia, owner and head chef of the Himalayan Kitchen, was born and raised in the remote Mt. Makalu region of northeast Nepal. While traveling and photographing the Himalayas, Bhotia learned the nuances of Himalayan cooking; a cuisine that utilizes black and white cardamom, jimbu, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, star anis, timboor, chili, turmeric, saffron, sesame and mustard seed… not all at once of course. However he is an expert in arranging spices to create unique flavors that are sure to suit any appetite. Gam and Dambar, both part of the great team at Himalayan Kitchen, offer their unique perspectives on curry and tandoori respectively.
Want to try a little bit of everything, dine-in at their lunch buffet. For just $8.99, you can experience the flavors of Nepal, Tibet and India from their “all you can eat” buffet. Try it any day of the week from 11am to 2:30pm. Or, make a date of it and head there for dinner.
