The server at The Himalayan Chimney plates the dishes for guests on Mar. 23.

The Himalayan Chimney is an excellent off-campus spot for those who crave authentic Indian food. The Indian bar and grill, located on the corner of West Church and North Randolph streets, is one of the best spots in the Champaign-Urbana area for friends and family to enjoy a meal together.

The Himalayan Chimney is the perfect place in C-U to be introduced to the wonderful foods India has to offer. With a wide selection of options for meat lovers and vegetarians alike, there is a dish for everyone to enjoy. 

Although it is more expensive than more casual dining locations, The Himalayan Chimney serves high-quality food at an affordable price. 

The restaurant is a short drive from campus and a great choice for an evening hangout. This year’s Best of CU pick for Indian food offers an opportunity to broaden your horizons while enjoying authentic and delicious South Asian food.

Hey there, you might recognize me as the photographer who's often at community events in Champaign-Urbana with a camera in hand. I'm currently finishing my Journalism degree at the University of Illinois. Since my first year in 2020, I have been capturing moments for the Illini Media Company, and I've recently become the Assistant Photo Editor. Filmmaking is another passion of mine – shoutout to my film club Illini Film and Video! Keep an eye out, as you could see me filming the next big hit on campus. When I am not using the camera, I am usually playing the drums. Should you have any inquiries, please don't hesitate to send me an email!
