Himalayan in the Big Bear Village is amazing if you love Indian food. One of the absolute best! Highly recommend! I love their ginger lemonade.

Seven of Holly’s favorites
Where Holly says to eat in Big Bear
These are real reviews from Holly’s own favorites list, the places she sends her friends and her clients time and again. Here are seven to start with.
Royal Thai
Thai · Big Bear Village
I also love the Royal Thai if you like Thai food. Very friendly service and right in the heart of the Big Bear Village. I love their Thai tea and yellow curry.
Amangela’s
Sandwiches & Smoothies · Big Bear Village
I also love Amangela's in the Village for sandwiches and smoothies. Lots of options and great service! The owner and workers are amazing!
Oakside
Dinner · Big Bear Village
Oakside is a nice setting if you are looking for something a little more romantic for dinner. You can sit indoors or outdoors by the fire. Great food, lots of options, with an upstairs bar right in the heart of the Village.
Dank Donuts
Donuts, Sandwiches & Breakfast Wraps
Another fav' is Dank Donuts. They actually have sandwiches and breakfast wraps, not just donuts. But their donuts are baked not fried, and they have vegan donuts as well. They are really good and it's owned by some awesome people.
Tropicali
Lunch
And who doesn't love Tropicali? It's more of an experience than just lunch. Their food is amazing but the people, the views, and the atmosphere really stand out. It's kind of like going to Disneyland.
Mountain Munchies
All-Day Breakfast, Sandwiches & Dinner · Stater Brothers Shopping Center
An all-time fav' is Mountain Munchies for all-day breakfast, sandwiches, or dinner foods, lots of options. Small restaurant in the Stater Brothers Shopping Center. Awesome service, great people.
