Incredible flavors and balance. It’s so delicious I’m honestly so happy with this meal. I got veggie momo and chicken thali with masala tea and could not be happier. It’s rare to find such delicious food! You have to come in here! I love that the thali is served in thick brass, it makes the whole experience elevated and beautiful. But the flavors are really where it’s at. I will definitely be coming back here!!
The food was so good we forgot to take pictures haha! The vegetables samosas were particularly amazing. Great ambiance, nice staff!

Very kind and community friendly. The food is so fresh and feels very home made. Just be prepared for the air inside to be full of spicy fumes! (my gf had a small asthma attack but she said it smelled and tasted so good she didn't care)

As a fellow Nepalese who has been living in Pasadena for years, I have seen the rise and fall of this place
Before the food was absolutely delicious catering to our Nepalese taste but the staff and chef has now changed
Our last visit was absolutely terrible, Momo was probably the worst Momo I’ve had in my life, dough with plain bland chicken filling
Chowmein was just ketchup, left with utter disappointment, would not be visiting again 😔

I ordered the goat curry from the lunch menu. My goat showed up in a small metal bowl along with 3 other small metal bowls which had rice, soup and beans in a sause which were all very good. The goat on the other hand was the worst thing I have ever ordered from anywhere.The small metal bowl was filled with the toughest meat on small bones many most of which were extreemly sharp. I asked our waitress if I could exchange this for chicken curry, and she looked at and said NO with a stern face. My wife and I looked at her in disbelief. I told her again this goat is not ededible and is dangerous to eat because of the sharp bones. She looked at me and she said, you should have asked me if the goat has bones in it. Are you kidding me?
I told her resturants typically bend over backwards to make there guest happy but not this waitress.
My wife and I finished our meal which my wife share her chicken marsala from her small metal bowl, with me and I paid the bill eirh no tip,and told her we would never be back again.
Don't waste your time going here even though my wife and I used to go her frequently before covid. Pasadena has plenty of good Indian resturants. Don't waste your time at this one.
We had a nice lunch. Food was good, tasty. Food portions were good too.

An absolute gem! The food was excellent and the staff was lovely. In addition to the food they have a store where one can find all kinds of treasures .
Do yourself a favor and go here,

This is a wonderful small South Asian restaurant. We ordered Vhel Puri, Curry Chicken, Tandoori Salmon, Vegetable Biryani, and Onion Naan. Each dish was terrific. Our server was helpful and attentive. Give it a try.

The atmosphere is so good; I love the vibes and colors. Small decorations, but the food is not up to the mark. We got vegetable pakoda and momos; both things disappointed us a lot. The vegetable pakoda was not well cooked inside and in momo it has a flavor of turmeric a lot. Their service is good atmosphere is best pure nepali vibes.
