Visiting a friend who lives in the neighborhood, so she’s been here before. We ordered two vegetarian dishes and some garlic naan, all to share. Everything was really delicious. Portions are not enormous, so we didn’t have to take leftovers with us, but we were both full when we left the restaurant. Lovely decor with beautiful cloths under glass at the tables, and attentive but not overbearing service. Lovely little spot!

Dude!!! I went for lunch and got the special. I did the coconut shrimp, pistachio curry with chicken. It was the best Indian food I’ve ever had.

I’m coming back bringing anyone who will listen with me.

I love this place. The waiters are so sweet and attentive without being overbearing, it's so charming. And the food is Awesome. I always get the momos, the sauce is SO good. I usually try to leave it for dipping in addition to curries. I've never had anything not up to par. And the decor is so great. Super laid back spot with great food and service. Total gem.

Such a little gem in the Bernal Heights area. We love the bright colors outside and inside. Our server was very sweet. The food was delicious- not your standard Indian restaurant fare. I recommend getting the lunch special. Although it’s $25 it is absolutely worth it. Our party of 3 orders 2 of them and still have leftovers. It includes: a wonderful salad, naan, papadam. choice of rice and 2 curry dishes. The sauces for dipping were sensational- we especially loved (and devoured) the green curry (mint/cilantro).

This is a lovely place, me and my aunt went here for lunch and Bhuwan was our server. He was an absolute delight, the place is charming, food is freshly prepared and yum.

I would certainly come here again for a nice meal and to anyone who's in doubt, give them a shot and prove me wrong :p

I came here with a small group and we were immediately given the impression, both by the aromas from the kitchen and the other plates that we saw, that no matter what we ordered, we would be in for the best meal! This turned out to be 100% true. I’m already looking forward to returning. The service was relaxed and very attentive the flavors and the food were deep and very well seasoned. couldn’t ask for a better experience

Bring your grilled cheese for the tomato soup, err chicken tikka… the palak tastes like frozen chopped spinach. Where’s the spice and seasoning?!

Again I wish that Google would allow me to give out 1/2 stars as this place would get 4.5 stars all around.
So we have all been to either an Indian or Nepalese restaurant before, I assume, and we all know that feeling, the first few bites were very tasty and then I started to feel like a pregnant mountain duck... Well not here at 'little Nepal' .
Let me back up, I ate here just about 20 years ago for the first time. No I have no recollection on how good the food was. But it was the same location, same restaurant name and cuisine, that I know. 20 years fast forward, who knows how many changes in ownership and chefs I went back to try the place which opened just 5 weeks ago.
I love it , the food is light, a great blend between Indian, Nepalese and some Californian. The staff at first is a bit reserved and shy but opens up quickly as you talk to them. We must have chatted with the head chef for almost an hour, going over recipes, up-bringing, mountain and restaurant names , it was a delight to say the least.
Now to the food. We worked ourselves through the menu. Fig salad, mango chicken, coconut rice. Lemongrass chicken, curry salmon, naan... None of the dishes disappointed and we didn't feel stuffed or pregnant like a mountain duck. I love this place and highly recommend it. I will go back and it won't take me another 20 years.

LOVE this place!!!! Our new go to! I highly recommend the butter chicken (and normally I’m a tika masala girl but their butter chicken is the BEST) + the chicken momos (hidden on the back page of the menu but these are literally the best momos I’ve ever had…EVER!) their wine is great too! Everything I’ve tried is great!
