  Typically, I write a review when everything is really good however I took a photo and I had a coupon so it encouraged me to try. It's a new spot. It's close to home. The food was good. Nothing to raise your eyebrows. The rice was better than the protein or the sauce, which was strange. Service and the people at the front were welcoming ish.. the lady on the phone seemed like she didn't wanna put in the order to see what the price to save her time but I insisted that she should so I could see if the discount was worth it. At the end of the day the discount was worth it. I got to lunch specials, which is why there was no naan bread. It was $35 . I'm probably not gonna go back. Still gave them a pretty good score cause I'm a nice guy, but you can decide based on what I said. I'm not the only person to review, im Trying not to only leave outstanding reviews. This one's just good and that's OK. It's better than most just not spectacular. Four stars..... it would be five if the other reasons were there. You have to shine and all aspects before after and then the food of course...

  Came here for lunch and it was delicious!! This will be the Indian restaurant that we return to over and over. The lunch special allowed us to try 2 different things with naan, rice, and a dessert! Still thinking about that coconut curry… I recommend 100%z

  We’ve been wanting to go to this place for a while, we finally did and it was awesome. My wife and I are very into all types of food and are very familiar with Indian/Afghani and this place did not disappoint. Parking is a bit funky (Vons PB) but it is well worth it and we are so happy it’s so close to home. We went yesterday, referred to many friends already and will 100% go back. May be as soon as tomorrow

  We ordered online for takeout and it was ready for pick up pretty quickly. We ordered the palak paneer & chicken vindaloo. They came with rice and were generously filled! They were also perfectly packaged to transport with a Saran Wrap protection Which is always greatly appreciated. We ordered the paneer mild and it was excellent . Super fluffy cubes of cheese in a well spiced and not overly creamy sauce. The chicken vindaloo was ordered hot and it was on point. Perfectly spicy and seasoned & well balanced with the meat & potatoes. 11/10 recommend.

  If you’re craving the authentic, flavorful, and perfectly balanced Indian food in Pacific Beach, look no further than Himalayan Spice and Savor. This new spot isn’t just good, it’s hands-down THE best Indian restaurant in Pacific Beach. Trust me. I’ve tried every single spot and this one blows them away. Every dish bursts with flavor, and the menu offers both amazing classics and unique specialties that I constantly find myself craving. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken are spot-on: creamy, rich, and perfectly spiced. A more unique favorite of mine is the Coconut Chicken Curry. It’s a refreshing twist that blends fragrant coconut with tender chicken in a curry sauce that smells so good that I wanna bathe in it haha. They also have an extensive selection of Indian breads which are all fuego. Especially the garlic and chili naan (Bullet Naan). It’s the perfect mix of spice, garlic, and chew; ideal for soaking up every last bit of sauce. Another reason this spot stands out is the value. The portions are good and the pricing feels just right for the quality you get. It’s hard to find restaurants in PB that strike this balance, but Himalayan Spice and Savor absolutely nails it. Pacific Beach is a super tough neighborhood for restaurants. Too many great places have come and gone. Mainly because it’s so many seasonal tourists now. But honestly, I pray to the Indian food gods this restaurant doesn’t shut down. It’s a true treasure in PB’s food scene and deserves WAY more recognition. I’m hoping it’s just because they just opened and need to work on their marketing, but the place definitely needs more customers! So please go check them out!! You won’t regret it!! Everything we tried was excellent, from start to finish. Flavorful curries, fresh naan, generous portions, and great prices. Himalayan Spice and Savor is hands down THE top Indian restaurant in Pacific Beach. Five stars all the way. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
