This restaurant was truly a little gem we found when traveling through North Bay, Ontario. It was a nice way to finish our road trip. We were there during non peak hours, so the restaurant was not busy at all. Service was great Waiting time was reasonable. We could tell all the dishes were made fresh to order. Foods were authentic, and they all had unique tasty flavors.
I have been here a couple of times and loved the food/experience each and every visit. The food is great and the staff are polite and welcoming. I adore the decor inside and out as well! Would recommend Northern Himalayan Cafe to any friend of mine :)
Delicious food and incredible hospitality! Our server was super friendly and recommended a few dishes for us to try. We ate every last bite - we’ll definitely be back for more!
I am a regular customer in this cafe that it has become an extension of my kitchen. The environment has a warm, homey feeling with the delicious smells escaping from the kitchen. The restaurant is clean and the staff treat you like family. I have not only become friends with the staff but also with the customers. If you’re wanting an authentic and relaxing dining experience, I highly recommend you try this cafe. 🍽️
Warm ,friendly staff , authentically charming decor. Wonderful addition to North Bay food scene. Located in the heart of downtown on Main Street.. Bringing good food, good fun and more cultural diversity to a Northern community.
Northern Himalayan Café - A Delightful Experience of Authentic Nepalese Cuisine My visit to the Northern Himalayan Café this afternoon was an absolute delight!

Each dish we tried was bursting with flavors and clearly made with fresh ingredients. The authenticity of the Nepalese cuisine was evident in every bite, transporting our taste buds straight to the Himalayas. The atmosphere of the café was peaceful and inviting, providing the perfect setting to enjoy our meal. It was a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful. They made us feel welcomed and were more than willing to answer our questions about the menu. Their kindness added a personal touch to our meal, making the afternoon even more special. In summary, the Northern Himalayan Café offers an authentic Nepalese dining experience with a peaceful atmosphere. If you’re looking for delicious food, fresh ingredients, and top-notch service, this is the place to go. We will definitely be returning soon!
My daughter and I shared the holiday platter, with a butter chicken wrap, pakoras, spring rolls and a few other things. It was delicious!
We ordered takeout. It was very flavourful and was enjoyed by the whole family. We had a variety of dishes that we all shared. We will definitely order from here again.
I highly recommend this restaurant and plan to return soon. This restaurant exceeded expectations! The food was delicious, with standout dishes like Thali (authentic Nepalese flavours) and mouthwatering Momo. Highly recommended; Ill definitely return. Food
Super sweet staff Amazing food Food
On a cold day, walk on in and get yourself a masala chai. Made fresh and piping hot from a friendly staff, itll warm you up well. Try it with sugar or without. Both are great. Food
Lovely decor and atmosphere. The service was excellent! The food, even better! I definitely recommend and will return.
The momo were amazing and the chickpea salad so fresh and tasty!!
I brought my mom here who was weary about trying new food. She was blown away with the taste and quality at the Himalayan Cafe. Lots of variety and friendly service really just make this a special place to dine in North Bay.
Food was delicious & tasted really authentic
The food is absolutely delicious !
We recomend anyone to try all of what we ate below. This is our second time at Northern Himalayan Cafe our first time was at lunch and the food was amazing so we thought next time we will come for diner. We highly recommend you give any of the food we tried a try. Heres what we had on Aug. 22/2024 for our diner: 2 Chiya teas, 1 order of each: Assorted Apps Platter chicken, chowmein Vegetable, Himalayan Buddha Bowl(meat lovers), chicken sekuwa, kheer. Forgot to take pictures because well we started to eat. Lol. I give a 10 the five stars was not enough. The food was freshly made and aromatic and everything was soooo delicious. We had some noodles to bring home for our lunch. Yummy..also ordered another chiya tea that is made with milk to take home. I let it cool put it in fridge and going to have it in my Oatmeal for breakfast its going to make my breakfast yummy. Thank you Northern Himalyan Café for making our 37th wedding anniversary special. We will be back again in the near future. Cheers Carol& Phil
Everything was perfect. Ill be back foresure.
Went for dinner, and when we walked in the place smelled amazing. The staff were helpful and friendly. Service was fast, food was delicious. Would definitely recommend and Im excited to go back.
Delicious food, delicious tea, great ambiance, great service!
Food was cold and glasses and cutlery are not polished
Amazing food located in our downtown, with a lovely patio. Service was great, highly recommend!
The most flavourful food in town. One of my favourites.
Beautiful place with absolutely delicious food. Thank you for the service.
Staff is friendly, food is amazing! I 100% recommend eating here.
First time visitor with another couple two vegans and 2 meat eaters. They had something for everyone. I loved the skewer platter to share as well as the pan fired dumplings. They make everything fresh so no preservatives and you know what you are eating. The spice was perfect as I like spice but was never over the top and still great flavors. Cant wait to visit again
Everything we had was so very fresh and tasty The ginger lemon tea was the perfect ending. Food
Amazing food, fantastic service and great vibes. Always look forward to eating great vegan/ vegetarian food here. Vegetarian options: Pakoras are fantastic!
Friendly environment highly recommend.
The food was terrific. Worth the money. Food : 4/5
What a wonderful experience from the delicious authentic food to the beautiful atmosphere. I will be back - regularly!
The food was excellent, and our server was so earnest and kind answering all of our questions! We ordered a kothay momo platter to try multiple kinds and they were some of the best dumplings Ive ever had! We also tried a noodle dish that was incredible and different from anything Ive ever had. Would definitely go back and try more, this place is great and intrigued me to try more Nepalese cuisine! Vegetarian options: Lots of great vegetarian options with variety and seemed quite clear about them on the menu.
Thanks prashima for such a delicious meal
Great food and service. Highly recommend
Great food very friendly service
Astounded by how richly flavoured and filling my meal was. It was a truly lovely dining experience for this table of one. It was relaxed and very friendly. Theres a charming patio, too, but I chose the air conditioning on this humid day.
Yummy, handmade, fresh food, vegan and vegetarian choices with lovely decor and nice patio!
Delicious food, and the place has a nice cozy vibe. Felt really authentic, reminded me of my time in the Himalayas!
Abby was so inviting and the atmosphere was perfect. Food delicious and presented perfectly Food
The food was excellent! The staff were very friendly and the live entertainment was a lovely added bonus! We will definitely be back!
It s simple, northern Himalayan cafe is a great addition to north bay! Not only is the energy of the place blissful, but the food is nutritionally satisfying! My mind body and spirit are full after just one visit here. Thank you, I ll be back!
Traveled back in time and in Nepal with my summer buddies
I had the pork drumsticks! I enjoyed the flavour and it had just the right heat for my taste. Nepali garden salad was good too- mix of cabbage, onion, apples, carrot, potato etc in a Hummus inspired sauce. Very good! Food
Excellent food and service. Highly recommend.
Tonite we had the pop-up picnic. Hands down the best food since we have moved to North Bay.
BEEEEEEEER!!!!
Best food, Abby is best server 10/10
We enjoyed the outdoor seating area for lunch. There are plenty of vegan and gf options. We ordered the pork dumplings and the vegan chow mien lunch special which came with 2 spring rolls. Both extremely good dishes. The staff were very friendly providing a welcoming and chill atmosphere. We are definitely make this a regular spot to visit. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegan/vegetarian options.
Phenomenal food, and everyone at the restaurant is incredibly friendly. The Buddha bowl is the best Ive ever tasted, with sauteed green beans, Chana, and hard boiled egg on rice, and a spicy sauce that I loved. Familiar dishes -- dumplings, fried rice, noodles -- but with a unique flavor profile and cooked perfectly. We ordered take-out, so I didnt rate the atmosphere. Vegetarian options: Veggie options on everything, and they ask if eggs are okay, so I think they would be very accommodating of any restrictions you might have.
First time customer and first time eating at the restaurant and also by first time eating Nepalese cuisine. The kothay Momos were my favourite and I would order them again! Also had the chicken chow mein.
The staff here rule. The food is very nice. Can recommend. Vegetarian options: Menu and staff are clear about vegan options. Food : 5/5 |
Food was overpriced, small portions and mediocre food. Also was given short change and had to call them on it..
The food was incredible and the staff were super friendly and kind! So nice to see North Bay finally get a momo place. We were in town for the weekend and ate there twice it was so good! Lots of vegetarian / vegan options as well.
Food is fantastic. Great friendly folks run the place. Nice little outdoor seating area. One of the best in North Bay
I ordered Chyia (milk tea with spices) Was made fresh. The first impression was that of Chai tea in smell and look. Though it gave that impression it is not Chai tea. In my opinion its better. Very good spicy finish with a pleasant warming after taste. Thukpa (Sada jhol - mild soup) with chicken First impression was that it was going to be extremely rich. But to my surprise, it was delicate and light with enough creaminess. The flavors were excellent. *it comes with cilantro* So if youre like me and cilantro tastes bad, ask for it without. I would highly recommend trying this place out. The owners are from the Nepal and surrounding areas.
Beautiful food experience! We had the pakora and Momo, it was delicious! Highly, highly recommend!!! Food
Below average food and lacks Nepalese authentic taste PS- Been to Nepal twice Food
An absolute delightful evening. We had the restaurant to ourselves as it was Canada Day, everyone else missed out on exceptional food made with fresh ingrediants and a passion for presentation. Our server was so happy to tell about the food and how it is prepared. Best choice in North Bay. 100 Stars
Tasty, fresh food and a welcoming atmosphere.
The staff and atmosphere are evidently friendly, warm and welcoming, but unfortunately the food is over-salted, bland, lacking flavour. I tried it twice, reluctant after my 1st time. Sad to say I won t be back.
I would recommend anyone visiting Northbay to try this cafe. Their momos are one of the best ones Ive had in years. Cheers.
Food was ok was a bit bland and half my dumplings were hot and half were cold .maybe try again some day.
I went with my homies from sudbury and the food and environment was authentic and soo good feels like i was in nepal and services was good too will definitely suggest for people who are looking for nepali food.
Incredible food and service. Everything on the menu that I have tried to date has been exceptional. Highly recommend one of the teas to accompany your feast.
Fantastic restaurant! Great patio and and even better food.
Very cute cafe! Absolutely fabulous food!! Highly recommend !! Definitely returning Licensed ++
The best momo in northern Ontario , you must try once !!!
Best MO :MO and has an amazing atmosphere to dine in.
Nice Nepali Restaurant with Nepalese flavour. Loved the Ambiance and service. Will definitely go again.
Amazing restaurant that I always make sure to stop at when I m in the area. The Samosa chaat is incredible and I d highly recommend it. Definitely deserves its 5 star rating
Delicious food. Will come again. We arrived at a busy time and waited 30 minutes for our food. Otherwise service was very good.
Dumplings and spring rolls are amazing and very filling. Turmeric latte is a discovery!
Visiting North Bay and loved the atmosphere and food here. The chicken chili was cooked to perfection!
Absolutely incredible food and experience. Highly recommend. Best food in all of North Bay!!!
Highly recommend!
Lovely cafe, friendly service. Our lunch special was delicious!
This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was extremely flavorful, fresh, excellent portion sizes, beautiful presentation, and absolutely delicious. Even when I was full, I couldnt stop eating... the atmosphere was excellent as well. A very cute little restaurant with a great patio as well, excellently themed. The Turmeric lattée was also amazing. I went here with my family, and we tried many different dishes, and couldnt choose a favorite! You need to try this restaurant, you will want to keep coming back!
Best place in town to get a fine Nepali Taste.
What a great place! The staff was very friendly and took the time to explain every dish. The food is incredible. Such a good mix of spices. We will come back!
Ive eaten here twice now, and it was excellent both times. The chili pork momos are outstanding, and the chow mein is too. The piru aloo wasnt my favorite dish, but not every dish can be your favorite. I cant wait to try the thukpa and a few more dishes next time.
The Momo platter is amazing. My friends Buddha bowl was amazing. My other friends soup was amazing. The mango lassi is to dye for and the way it s decorated is beautiful. If you haven t been, go!!
Best Nepalese restaurant anywhere in Ontario!! The momo and soup are delicious and the staff are extremely friendly. Worth driving from Ottawa to North Bay just for their food
Food was great , we will be back.
The food and atmosphere are amazing. Everything on the menu is very tasty! You will not be disappointed.
Delicious food! Friendly and helpful staff! Ill definitely come again.
SOOO GOOD. Dishes are out of this world and the staff are super friendly. Would highly recommend
Hand made Himalayan food. They label vegan options on the menu and they also have vegan options on the menu. V good 10/10 cool sign on the store front
Love this place!! Service is very friendly, Food is all made from scratch, price point is affordable.
The food is incredible. Fast service, reasonable prices. Will be back again and again!
Went here with a family member for dinner. Food was delicious server was attentive and the whole experience was positive. Good to see small restaurant. It s so tasty opening up in town.
Lovely flavours in my veggie stir fry with garlic naan today. Second great lunch here. Mango lassi was sooo good. Excellent friendly staff. Can t wait for patio season
Our server was so kind! Food was delicious and atmosphere was lovely 10/10 will be coming here again
This is far and away the best Asian, Indian fusion ...well its the only Nepalese restaurant in town but its just the best Fresh ingredients, presentation, good value, very sweet owners. This place should be far busier on weekends. We are shocked its not packed for people craving momos. If you havent tried momos....try the momos! Momos are a thing....teee-rust me.
Amazing Nepali food far from home.Best taste and delicious dishes. Definitely recommend visiting for authentic Nepali food from the Himalayas.
We had a wonderful experience! The food was flavourful, healthy and delicious! There are many gluten free options as well. Nice atmosphere and great service will definitely be going back for more of a taste of Nepal! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options!
I had a friend suggest this place to me and i really like it! I ve gotten both the steamed and fried chicken momos / dumplings. They ve been absolutely delicious every time! The only complaint I have is that the delivery containers are paper and not plastic, so the momos end up sticking and the paper rips off with them. Otherwise, I really enjoy this place! Great food
We enjoyed lunch here with friends and had a great experience. They had lots of vegetarian options which was important for our group and were kid-friendly with high chairs available.
Food,service,atmosphere everything on point,
So good go try and support.
Vegetarian options: Delicious and filling, the entire menu has vegetarian or meat options so you dont feel limited or left out! Such a great experience- this is my new favourite place in town! Food
What an absolutely incredible experience it was dining at the Himalayan Cafe! We have been anxiously awaiting their opening in Downtown North Bay, and it truly was worth the wait! The service was attentive and friendly, the atmosphere was cozy and warm- like walking in to your favourite neighbourhood restaurant where everyone knows your name, and the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD! We ordered pork and chicken kothay momos which were amazing, the samosas were the best I have EVER had- so flavourful! We also had the nepalis chow mein with chicken which was such a perfect dish. I can t wait to return with my family again and again- plus so convenient they are just a half a block away from me for lunch time takeout! Welcome to Downtown- we are so fortunate to have you!!!
I took my mother there for the first time, over the Easter weekend, and we had a fabulous meal. The waitress was sensationally bubbly and and the owner was incredibly kind. So kind, we invited her and her family to drop in and take a tour of our community when they drive to Manitoulin Island next. My mother had chicken thupka. Thukpa is a Himalayan noodle soup, popular in Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, and some parts of India. Thuk means heart so it is a heart warming dish. She also had a delicious chai tea. I had the Nepali pork chow mein and a turmeric latte. Both were incredibly good. We shared an order pakoras that started off the meal well. Was the food expensive? Yes, but all food is expensive. Was it delicious? Definitely yes. Will we be back. You betcha!
Stopped on Good Friday for supper with my teenage sons and we were blown away by the quality of the food and ingredients. I had the Nepalese noodles in a spicy soup, the kids had dumplings and another noodle dish. We definitely will come back next time we are in North Bay.
Very typical and higen food I like so much
Vary tasty and hygienic nepali food
Excellent food. Great vegetarian choices ! Vegetarian options: Excellent. Food : 5/5 |
Amazing food made with intention and only fresh ingredients.
A comfortable casual restaurant with quick service. I had the Momo in chili sauce. It was tasty, medium spicy and a large serving. I look forward to trying other items.
Wonderful ambience with fantastic food and friendly service. Love so much. Vegetarian options: Vegan option
Such a nice vibe! Food was super yummy and service was excellent!
Staff really friendly, and food was so flavorful. Best Butter chicken Ive had
Delicious momo dumplings, as always. My favourite is the chili chicken momos: dumplings with a super flavourful sauce (not too spicy) and stir fry veggies. Service is always great, and the atmosphere is cute and colourful. 5 stars.
So good ..great place .a gem ..love it
10/10! First time here and I wish I tried this place before I was leaving North Bay! Great atmosphere and service! I would definitely recommend the chowmein, samosas, assorted starter platter and butter chicken.
We were looking forward to this place opening for many months, and it was worth the wait! The samosa chaat was delicious, as were the momos. We ll be back :) Vegetarian options: There were many options to choose from! A large amount of the menu is vegetarian or with a vegetarian option. Momos, noodle and rice dish, samosas chaat, etc lots to choose from.
Sooo good! Great service and delicious food! I loved it!
The food is fantastic and staff are extremely friendly!
Extremely tasty Thukpa!
Really good food. They have a nice space: not too small, not too big. Everyone was very nice. Definitely will eat here again. I would recommend the samosas. 5/5
Delighted to have the Northern Himalayan Café back, and in a new location downtown! Missed having them as an option when they closed at the airport several years ago. Theyve done a great job with the decor and ambiance, the food is delicious, and the service is friendly and professional as always. One of our favourites!
Fantastic food, absolutely incredible! Will be coming back for sure. So thrilled to have such a great place in North Bay that allows you to experience a new cuisine!
Best Samosa Chaat in town! Have been waiting 4 years to eat it again and it did not disappoint! :)
This reataurant is great. Wonderful food. So delicious. Great people and atmosphere.
Quality and freshness of food was exceptional. Great atmosphere and excellent knowledgeable service.
The food, atmosphere and service was very good. They were very busy which is so nice to see. I will definitely be looking forward to going back soon.
Amazing food, wonderful people and atmosphere
What delicious food at a reasonable price.
Kid-friendliness: My child loved the decor, staff, and food! She really liked the fresh flowers they put on the tables. Food
Great Atmosphere..and food as well.

Amazing! Totally recommend. Great food and service.
So good! Has great flavours and has the warmth to hit right where needed
1st time eating here and we were not disappointed! My mom had the Dal and I had the chicken chow mein. Best chow mein Ive ever had! Perfect spice level. The Dal was amazing! We will definitely be back. Im looking forward to bringing my husband here. Service was also really great. Very friendly.
Absolutely delightful staff, environment, and the service was excellent. The meal itself was absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend!!
Totally impressed with great service and fun light-hearted atmosphere. The samosa chat was incredible!
I recently spent a month in Nepal and fell in love with their culture and food. Its an amazing mix of Tibetan, and Indian. This place opened up a month or so after I got back, and the dished Ive tried tasted the exact same. Highly recommend.
LOVE!!!! So happy this place has a home downtown now! Amazing food, such a cute atmosphere!!!
Excellent food, friendly and great service! All in all, a very fine experience.
Got a cheeseburger and fries... The burger was good, but the fry s were well over cooked with no flavour
My first visit to Northern Himalayan cafe... Very impressed with the quality and quantity of portions. A Most enjoyable hidden gem...you should go! Ill be back again soon
Super yummy food, good portions, and great, friendly service! The Everest Butter Chicken Platter is my absolute favourite and always end my visit with a fresh Chai. Highly recommended!
Wow what a great spot. Food was super delicious and authentic, and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend!
Authentic family owned restaurant; great food and service. Paid $2.00 for parking at lunch time
Best airport lunch ever. And i travel quite a bit. Plan extra time and check it out.
I went to this little restaurant for lunch. The prices are very reasonable and the food was nice and homemade. The butter chicken was amazing and the spicy pork was good but it wasnt very spicy.
Not only was the quality subpar, but the price was a bit too steep for the quantities. I guess thats what you get for a small airport
Absolutely fabulous Momos with curry sauce. Was excited to read the word Momo. Usually its called dumplings, momos is an authentic local delicacy of Sikkim (in India) and Nepal. Brought back all my memories from Greater Kailash in Delhi. Im sure all other dishes are great. My colleague is just about to order Butter chicken:) Very lovely owner !
Very delicious paratha! And a good sized portion as well. Friendly and helpful service.
I had the vegetable momo and a mango lasso and it was positively scrumptious. The woman who owns this restaurant is very sweet.
Delicious food, fast service and affordable. Worth the 5 minute drive up to the airport .
The pork platter is mind blowing, so are the skewers
This was quite possibly the best food Ive ever eaten in my life ...let alone at an airport. The service was amazing as was the meal. I highly recommend it.
Great food and friendly service.
Tasty chicken paratha wrap!
Good food and descent prices. Unique little place thats definitely worth a try.
Best airport food I have experienced in quite a long time. Logging 50+ flights a year you don t often get to enjoy airport food! Keep up the great work!
the food here is great
Attended the Diwali night at the restaurant and it was amazing. It was a night filled with love, lights and delicious food! It was memorable to be a part of this celebration and reminded me of home.
Tasty authentic momos. I love the fried chicken momos best and I like the spicy ones too.
Had a birthday party planned for my son not knowing it was located at the airport at time of reservation but what an experience!!! The service was amazing, the meal was deliciously prepared, flavourful and plenty. Thank you Sajula (I hope I spelled your name right ) We will be back....
