We walked by Himalayan Grill about two weeks ago and could smell the food from outside, and ever since then we kept saying, “We have to come back and try that place.” Well, after watching the sunset, we finally did—and it ended up being such a perfect little date night.
From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly warm, attentive, and welcoming. We asked if we could sit outside by the marina, and they happily accommodated us. Before we knew it, our table was beautifully set, we had two glasses of wine, and we were sitting there overlooking the boats. The whole experience just felt effortless and special.
And then came the food. Everything was delicious. The samosas, the sauces, the saffron rice, the tikka masala, the garlic naan—seriously, there wasn’t one thing we didn’t enjoy. Even the presentation was adorable, with some of the dishes served in little boat-shaped dishes that fit the marina setting perfectly.
A special thank-you to Veek, who made the evening even better. He was so kind and engaging and checked on us several times throughout dinner without ever making us feel rushed. We had questions about some of the sauces and different dishes, and he took the time to explain everything, make recommendations, and chat with us about India. He even gave us some sauce to take home. Those little touches really stood out.
Now we’re already planning what we’re ordering next time—the tandoori chicken he recommended and the coconut curry are definitely on the list.
We went in not really knowing what to expect and left feeling like we had discovered our new little hideaway. Part of me wants to keep it a secret, but the food and the people are too good not to share. 😂
