This is the first time we have visited this restaurant. I was shopping in the area and stopped by to see their menu. It smelled wonderful just walking in the door. It was my husband's birthday, so we decided to go there for dinner. He had the chicken mo-mos, and I had the lamb kabob/vegetables tandoori. We also had some soup. The sauce for the mo-mos was awesome, and the lamb was very tender and flavorful. Tutu was our waitress, and she told us the restaurant was established 7 years ago. What a gem this place is! She even gave us a little dessert to take back to the room. Two little cakes in a honey drizzle. She told us to heat in the microwave for 18 seconds, melts in your mouth delicious! We will definitely visit here again.

One of the most authentic curry restaurants I’ve been to in the States! The food is great and they do their spice levels very well, (10 is vey hot, make sure to order more bread on the side of you dare to try it. I would recommend 5-6 for a solid spice level that’s not super crazy) but the flavors are still good if you get it with no spice.I would highly recommend this place if you want to try a taste of Nepal.

This place is amazing when it comes to its cuisine. I love their chicken Tikka Masala, their chicken Tikka, and their tandoori chicken. The food is full of flavor, they offer generous portions, and they balance the heat levels according to your requested taste and flavor profile.The only thing off-putting is that they do upcharge for Naan,which is traditionally a staple served with meals. They also charge a pretty high amount for a small side of chutney. The service is okay. Not many smiles from our waitress, and she was not very engaging. She seemed to just want to get us in and get us out. Maybe she had a bad day??

Great food and service. Affordable as well. Ordered Momo, Machin ka sarkaari (Fish curry), and Aloo Paratha. Everything flavorful and on point. You can order spice level from 1 to 10. Their special 911 hot sauce is a 10/10 on heat. Be cautious.

The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable about ingredients and flavors for each plate. The slit pea soup, lamb, and tandoori chicken with veggies was delicious, I would come back every time I'm in town it was soo good. Sitting outside gives you a view of a fountain and music from nearby restaurants.
