Nice find in Half Moon Bay. I loved that the staff was super friendly and welcoming. We tried the coconut and mango curries. We tried one mild and one medium. I think mild was definitively tolerable and medium was on the spicier side but still enjoyable. Nice house salad was also tasty and good while we waited for our dishes. Overall had a great time and looking forward to coming back and trying more things from their menu.

Love that they have a wide range of vegan items which are clearly marked on the menu and can also make some vegan if requested. I got the vegetarian combo Nepali meal and removed kheer to make it vegan. It would be great if they had a default vegan combo.

AR foodie!
We went in for chiya around mid-day and loved this beautiful place. It’s run by a family and they’re so sweet. I felt like I was going to my relatives house in Nepal. Chiya was really good and tasted perfect for our Nepali taste ❤️

This place is a very good introduction to Nepali food. The family run service is kind, warm and open to giving honest suggestions based on what you’re in the mood for. Highly suggest the chicken momos and the garlic naan.

I don’t leave that many reviews, but this one really deserved it. This is the best himalayan food I’ve ever had, period. I’ve made 4 trips now from San Francisco, just to come to this place. And the family that runs it is so sweet. You have to try the goat cheese naan and chhoyla baji musya. Incredible.

Good food, great ambiance and very friendly staff. Do make a reservation as this place could get packed soon. It’s a bit congested inside but definitely worth it. We ordered veggie momo that tasted fine, the onion kulacha (absolutely delicious), Kashmiri naan (fine), paneer makhani (good) with brown rice and mango lassi. They try to be eco friendly by using paper straws. The older couple there are very kind and comforting. Parking plenty available in complex.

We had two vegetarian dishes with brown rice. So happy they serve brown rice. The service was ok. Maybe they were short staffed but they didn’t check on us during our meal or refill water. The appetizer came at the same time as the meal, so that was awkward. The Chai tea is a “one and done” deal, no refills.

Best Himalayan cuisine around! Every meal I’ve had from here is so good fresh and made to order…. I ordered the Lamb curry Combo meal with a side of Tandoori Roti! Excellent
