Himalia Take Away
Quick info
About Himalia Take Away
On Ferham Rd in Rotherham, Himalia Take Away is an Indian takeaway serving in the evenings, Tuesday to Sunday and closed Mondays. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. The tandoori chicken is cooked on the bone, a detail that keeps it a recurring order alongside the rest of the menu. Calling ahead is an option, though getting through can involve a wait, with phoned-in orders sometimes taking upwards of fifteen minutes to place. The kitchen works from the counter for collection, and the menu draws on the kind of dishes typical of the format. The description on file points to authentic cuisine as the approach behind the cooking. With service confined to evening hours across most of the week, the shop functions as a straightforward collection point for the surrounding streets rather than a sit-down room.

Customer Review Summary
Tandoori chicken draws the most mentions, from a diner who calls the tandoori chicken masala the best curry they've had to another who found the tandoori chicken meat dry and smelling of plastic despite enjoying the curry sauce it came with. Close behind, the shahi korma and Chana Puree get singled out as stunning, and one reviewer highlights the garlic keema naan bread alongside friendly, open-kitchen service. Several say they order curries here and nowhere else. Set against that, though, trails a run of complaints: one describes a family order with cold chips, a kebab mistakenly containing a burger, dry onion bhaji and potatoes mixed into the rice, while others report bland, greasy curry with watery, onion-heavy rice, a vile mango chutney and a burnt, tasteless chicken tikka wrap on naan. One reviewer also reports finding a grey hair in their meal. Multiple diners mention waiting fifteen or more minutes just to get through on the phone.

“I dno where to start, potatoes in rice? Curries could be labeled of what they are, chips were cold, kebab was with a burger added in, not very happy for the price we paid for a family meal, onion bhaji were dry, we looked at reviews previously, not being that good. But thought you never know so we tried guess it looks up to the bad reviews cheers, wont be ordering again sorry.”

“Food came fast but it was disgusting. The curry was bland, greasy and flavourless and the rice was so water it was swimming. Full of soggy onions which I didn’t ask for nor were they stated on the menu. The mango chutney was vile too. Chicken WAS cooked properly and was the nicest part of the meal.”
