Came here for lunch reading all the uber positive reviews on Maps. The food was really overrated, and not at all worth the price or the hype. We got momos (chewing gum texture), cauli 8848 (decent), buff sukuti (terrible). The buff was chewy AF and did not taste good at all. To add insult to injury, we ended up with a $70+ bill sprinkled with some regrets. The only reason to give it 2-stars is the ambience and cleanliness. Note-to-self: stick to South Bay food-trucks for Nepali food.

The food was okay, definitely not worth the price. The momos were chewy, the other dishes were very meh in flavor. The only redeeming dish was the cauliflower 8848 dish.

The ambience was amazing, but we’ve found other much better places for Nepali food.

Didn't want to eat the tried and tested Zareen's so I ended up here instead. Now this is good Street food! Authentic flavors, good spice level and warm service. The food prep time is definitely on the higher end, so definitely don't come here starved. We waited about 30 minutes for our food, but it was well worth it. Large portions and flavorful food.

I had a great experience at this restaurant. First time trying Nepalese food. The chicken momo were great, recommended! We also got the sampler set, lentil soup and chicken curry were great, all the side veggies were awesome as well!

Well they close at 10 pm. We arrived at 9 pm and they said we are hosting a party so we are closing today at 9 pm. We called the restaurant prior to visit but they never mentioned anything about it.

The most authentic Nepali food I’ve had outside of Nepal. Goat curry blew my mind. The flavors were tantalizing and the ingredients were so fresh. Make sure you save space for dessert!
