The Nepali Dhindo Thali with ragi/ millet flour porridge was a great experience because of the colors of the four dishes. Very unusual. Got it with Lamb. The veggie mo-mo was a great light vegetarian choice.

Got the chicken curry dish with the rice and the mango Lassi and it was like I was transported over to Nepal for 30 minutes. My only complaint is the bread is $ 5 extra. I asked if they could lower the price for one slice but they said no. Most Indian restaurants charge about $ 3 for 2 slices or give it to you for free. The owner needs to eliminate thr extra charge for bread.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant! me and my boyfriend drive an hour out of town just to eat here, we barely got into Indian food last year and we trust this place based on mutuals giving their own experience. I’ve been a huge fan of this place, the food is always amazing and the waitress is always doing a great job at providing service. We will continue to come here for as long as we can and we’re happy we found a great restaurant to have dinner dates.

Being from North India i think the food was decent but not the same taste as it originally is. Naan bread was exceptionally delicious. Decently priced menu. We ordered Vegetarian momo, Maharani Dal, Malai kofta, Butter Naan and Garlic Naan. Rice was well cooked. Decent quantity too.
