About Himalayan Kingdom - Nepalese and Indian Cuisine in Altrincham, Hale
Himalayan Kingdom is a Nepalese and Indian restaurant in Hale that's quietly become the area's best curry house. The kitchen cooks everything from scratch — momos (Nepalese dumplings), tandoori roti, whole tandoor chicken, prawn masala — and it shows in the finish. The space is clean, nicely decorated, casual enough for families with young kids (reviewers brought toddlers and babies), but confident enough that Indian diners stopped mid-meal to compliment the food. Staff move fast even when rammed, and nothing's too much to ask. You'll pay £20–30 for two courses with drinks. Most customers come back.
What Stands Out
Tandoor work that justifies the trip
Reviewers specifically praised the whole chicken cooked in the tandoor as 'incredible', and the homemade tandoori roti as 'delicious'. One customer from the Midlands — someone with baseline curry knowledge — called it 'the best curry I've had in a long long time'.
Momos that convert first-timers
Multiple reviewers tried Nepalese dumplings for the first time here and made them a standing order. One review: 'We'd never tried Nepalese food before, and this place completely won us over... the steamed vegetable momos blew us away, so full of flavour and now our new favourite thing.'
Staff that keep pace under pressure
Reviewers noted the team were 'super busy' but 'nothing was too much to ask'. Another: 'Really friendly staff', 'wonderful' service, 'no delay'. The place fills by dinner and they manage it without dropping quality.

Frequently Asked Questions about Himalayan Kingdom - Nepalese and Indian Cuisine in Altrincham, Hale
Both are on the menu. Nepalese dishes like momos (steamed dumplings) and Gurkhali chicken offer a different flavour profile — reviewers described it as 'like Indian food but with a twist that makes it even better'. The tandoor work and rice dishes sit across both cuisines.
Yes. A reviewer brought 3 adults, a 2-year-old, and a baby. The toddler had butter chicken with rice and 'loved' it. The space is casual and staff are patient.
The restaurant takes reservations and it's worth using them — reviewers mention the place fills up, especially at dinner. Walk-ins are accepted but expect waits on busy nights.
£20–30 per head. Reviewers consistently noted 'very reasonable' pricing and 'excellent value for money' given the quality of ingredients and portions.
Start with the vegetable momos. Move to the prawn masala with jeera rice (one reviewer wanted a second plate), or the whole tandoor chicken. The Gajar Ka Halwa (carrot dessert) is worth trying even if it sounds unusual — reviewers said it 'tastes incredible'.
