Himalayan Kitchen, Indian restaurant in Parkdale, Toronto, Canada.
Himalayan Kitchen is a restaurant on Queen Street West in Parkdale, Toronto, serving food from Tibet, Nepal, and India under one roof. The menu covers steamed and fried momos, butter chicken, and thali plates drawn from Nepali cooking.
The place opened in 2012 as a small cafe and gradually grew into a full restaurant with a broader menu. As the food offering changed, the name was updated to reflect the focus on cooking from the Himalayan region.
Momos are a staple food in Nepal and Tibet, and this restaurant is one of the few places in Toronto where you can find them prepared in the traditional steamed style. Sitting down here, you get a sense of how people in those mountain regions eat every day.
The restaurant sits on Queen Street West, a main road in Parkdale that is easy to reach on foot or by streetcar. Opening hours can differ between weekdays and weekends, so it is worth checking before you go.
Alongside the restaurant menu, the kitchen sells frozen momos and house-made sauces to take home. This means you can cook and serve the same dishes yourself, which is not something most restaurants in the area offer.
