This was such an amazing meal. My two friends and I came in for dinner last night and were promptly seated, water came quickly, and we selected our food and a minute later the waiter came. His name (I think) was Chuc. He was excellent, he brought over everything in a timely manner.

I was disappointed as I was excepting much more after reading reviews. Wasn’t that bad but great either. Momo’s were great and spicy. The main was too salty (spinach curry). Mango lassie too sweat.

Highly recommend this place for Nepali food when in SF. Everything is so fresh and flavourful, quality ingredients, no colouring or excess oil. The naan was perfect. Must try the momos, Dal and Paneer.

First time trying Nepalese food! I really enjoyed their food – Vegan momos, paneer sekuwa, and avalanche in Everest cocktail. My friends tried shrimp and salmon sekuwa.
