Indian, Nepalese, and Tibetan restaurant at 8008 Girard Ave Suite 170 in La Jolla's Village, 92037, with a Halal-certified kitchen. Taste of the Himalayas serves authentic dishes from across the Himalayan region — Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Saag, Momo dumplings, Thukpa noodle soup, and tandoor-fired breads — and shares the 8008 Girard building with Cherrywine Sushi & Burmese Cuisine one floor up, making this address La Jolla's densest pocket of South and Southeast Asian cooking. The spice profiles run from mild to genuinely hot, and the lunch buffet is one of the best-value meals on Girard. A vegetarian-friendly menu makes it a go-to across dietary preferences. Open daily for lunch and dinner — and guests who want tandoori-fired cooking closer to UCSD head to Clay Oven Indian Cuisine on Torrey Pines Road.
