Himalaya’s Kashmir is an excellently priced Indian-Pakistani restaurant in the Esquilino neighborhood near Roma Termini and a favorite of the Indian population of Rome. The decoration provides a warm, welcoming and typically oriental atmosphere and both the owner and his father (who is often there on Sundays) are among the kindest people one could hope to meet.
The restaurant’s specialties are both Indian and Pakistani, which is not a surprise taking the name of the place into account. The dishes are prepared following traditional recipes of the Kashmir region.
You can either order typical Mughlai and Tandoori dishes “a la carte” or you can choose a from one of three fixed price menus: meat, vegetarian and fish. The menus cost around 20 Euros and consist of a mixed plate of delicious starters, a choice of soups, rice, a choice of main and side dishes and a dessert.
During lunch hours, the restaurant is divided into two parts. The door on the left leads to the usual restaurant, whereas the door to the right leads to more of a takeaway area. Here you can order the special thali, a big plate consisting of rice, a meat dish and two vegetable ones, raita and naan. The price is around 10 Euros and you will have a hard time finishing it all.
Himalaya’s Kashmir is open all year, also on holidays. In the summer it is air-conditioned and there are also some sidewalk tables.
Take away service available.
