I tried Shangrila Himalayan Kitchen while visiting Lake Tahoe, and I really enjoyed the food. The flavors were authentic, fresh, and comforting — a perfect meal after a cold day outdoors. The biryani and sizzling platter were especially tasty and full of rich flavor. Service was friendly, though the food did take quite a while to arrive — about an hour in our case. It seems the kitchen gets busy, so it’s best to come with a bit of patience. That said, the quality of the dishes made the wait worthwhile, and the warm atmosphere made for a pleasant dining experience overall. I’d happily come back for the food again, especially when I have a relaxed evening to enjoy it.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Make sure to try the momos here—they are delicious in any form, especially in the soup if you’re looking for something unique. The Mango Lassi is my absolute favorite and definitely worth the price. I also tried the noodle soup; the lamb version was great, but the chicken one is also perfect for a cold, snowy evening. Highly recommend stopping by during your trip!

INCREDIBLE! The biggest thank you to Tej - we hosted a dinner here for our wedding weekend and he was so gracious and went above and beyond to make it the most special night. The food was delicious and the atmosphere so cozy. We love coming here after a day of hiking and playing in Tahoe and had the best time sharing it with all our favorite people. Thank you Tej and staff!!
