 my experience with Himalayan a week ago from today goes like this:

 a friend n I went there for dinner. were hungry and wanted to have our stomach full more than anything. so with a good reason we both ordered thali. chiken thali n veg thali. two glasses of water. i cannot tell the difference between tap water or filtered water, so i ll assume it was filtered.

the server was nice, sweet lady, however, probably lacks experience. the food came out in decent time. if compared with the same thali when javish dai was there, i would say the old one was much better; this one was alright, I would still chose nepali thali over anything else though. i had the chicken thali and my fren had veg thali with aalu tama. I must admit Aalu Tama was better than before, and way ahead of my chicken curry. owing to my hunger, i finished my rice before my friend did, which usually is not the norm :p
i would ve liked if the server asked me if i wanted to add something before i had actually finished, but here even after i did, she was nowhere near the table. not a biggie, i asked her if i could add some rice and some daal, and so she did. and then a while later my frens plate turned empty too. the same thing; wait a while with an empty plate just to get some more, although the restaurant was almost empty. The server went to kichen with the order, and I think the chef actually gave us a look from inside the kitchen (prolly because it was the second trip)!! this time she brought some rice, but no dal, coz they were cooking some. by the time dal came out, the rice was already cold. the daal was hurriedly prepared, and was all "thick n thin". 

I dont know if the prices changed within this week, but we paid a total of $21 plus change for two thalis. plus $5 tip, which according to me was actually generous given the story.

Niroj Dai, I am JUST a customer. Dont take my review personally, but hopefully will implement some professionality. I am not in favor of coming back to Aroma, but since the owner is right here in the forum and I have shared my experience, I will look for a better experience in near future.
