Himalayan Curry and Kebob (Loveland)

For a taste of the Himalayas without leaving Loveland, this Madison Avenue restaurant brings together Indian, Pakistani, and Himalayan cooking in one warm, family-style dining room, with takeout and delivery also available. The menu is built around the tandoor and the curry pot: chicken and lamb kebobs marinated in turmeric, ginger, and garlic, chicken momos — the steamed dumplings that are a Himalayan signature — and a long curry list led by butter chicken, tikka masala, and Nepali curry, plus saag, vindaloo, lamb korma, and dal makhani. Biryani, chowmein, and thukpa noodle soup round out the specialties. Vegetarian and vegan diners are well served, with chana masala, mattar paneer, aaloo gobi, and baigan bharta, and many dishes can be made with tofu or coconut milk. Naan is baked to order — plain, garlic, cheese, or cheese garlic — and kheer rice pudding and gulab jamun finish the meal. Dishes come in spice levels from no spice to extra hot, so heat is entirely in your control.
