Ok Davis… I finally found the spice at Kathmandu Kitchen and I’m not being dramatic when I say they actually understood the assignment. Asked for extra spicy and they delivered… real heat, not the polite version. Yessss. Menu is super veg and vegan friendly with everything clearly labeled, so ordering was easy. Tried a few things and everything hit, plus service was warm and on it. Solid 4 stars and I will 100% be back when I need that spice fix.
Surprised by a few bad reviews: the people and the cuisine were first rate, far beyond what I expected as a foodie New Yorker!
This Indian restaurant in Davis surprised me in the best way possible. The samosas were so perfectly crisp they nearly made me emotional, and the tikka masala had the kind of flavor that convinces you to order extra naan you didn’t plan for. The staff were cheerful, and the whole experience felt fun and welcoming. A delightful stop that brightened my day.

Kathmandu Kitchen offers a variety of flavorful Indian dishes, including the popular lamb Tikka masala, mushroom masala, and goat cheese naan. The food is described as spicy and filling, with tender lamb and smooth, creamy masalas. Vegetarian options are also available and highly recommended. The portions are generous, and the samosas are large, although the overall quality may not be exceptional. The staff is accommodating, and the mango lassi is a standout, but customers should be cautious with the sweet lassi. Some dishes, like the kadai prawns, may not meet expectations due to undercooking. While the restaurant lacks ambiance and lighting, the service is good. The restaurant does not serve halal meat.
Customers praise the quick and polite service, well-paced food delivery, and the delicious curries. The extra-spicy dishes may not be spicy enough for some, but the fish pakora and chicken momos are still tasty. The garlic cilantro naan is a must-try. Some customers have noticed changes in the flavors of their usual dishes, like the Mild Chicken Tikka Masala and the saffron rice, which may be due to a new chef. Overall, the restaurant offers a beautiful and complex blend of Indian spices, perfectly charred meat, and fluffy rice, providing a satisfying dining experience.
