amazingly delicious and even better food. this is my all time favorite restaurant and I recommend it to everyone and anyone. the owners are the kindest and amazing at assisting with finding you your new favorite food.
We brought in a big group and they were so accommodating! We'd never been in before but the owner gave us some amazing recommendations! The owner was so friendly, always checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed! I will definitely be back and bringing friends! If you need a good, small place to eat all things Indian, Himalayan, and Tibetan, this is the place!! The food and service was so good!!

Generous portions, but also kind of pricey for what it was overall. My reference point of lamb biryani is from Kabob House, which was wonderful, served with a bone where the meat came off easily - my lamb biryani here had a texture like it was microwaved and had little chunks, but it seems like the people I was with, their food was better than mine. The leftovers I took home I ended up throwing away because it was mostly rice as there wasn't much lamb. Naan was solid, but also 4 for a single piece felt steep. I'd stick with the chicken currys here for best results.
Delicious food with something for everyone. Great vegan options too

The food is soooo good and the people very nice and friendly. So the atmosphere is kinda strip mall typical. Who cares? I went to EAT!!! They mostly do takeout anyway. I live less than a mile away and should be horse whipped for not coming sooner.

This has hands down, been my favorite restaurant in town over the years! Some of the best food I have ever had!! You HAVE to try the Samosas and the Butter Chicken with a little spice or the Korma! Lovely owner and adorable place! When people ask for the local secret spot with actual amazing food, I send them here.

We've been eating here for several years and always enjoy it. The food is excellent and the owner is fantastic. He really cares about everyone's experience and even remembers our 'usual' order. You can tell that he is passionate about his business and you can taste it in the food. We love the momos and the chicken korma, but everything we've tried is delicious!

I am perplexed. I take great care in crafting my reviews to make them as fair and just as I can. After eating here I decided to do a deep dive into the reviews because this is quite the conundrum. I can only think of two possibilities: the people leaving reviews have not experienced good Indian/nepalese/tibetan food or momos. The sheer amount of reviews makes that seem implausible; the other is that the place was taken over by someone else. The pieces of this puzzle paint a picture of opposites - people love it or they hate it. Usually that sends up a red flag for me.
Here’s my experience. I was craving momos during our visit to Boise, and I was thrilled that, not only was there a momo place, they had vegan food! I insisted that we go eat there. The server was clearly an owner, which is pretty typical, and he was clearly embarrassed there were no customers during what would be the lunch rush. I shrugged it off as no big deal. He was friendly, but a bit hovery and fishing for what we thought about each item which made me a bit uncomfortable.
My momos were sad and bottomless. They looked like they had seen a battle or two. They didn’t have a lot of flavour. I also ordered samosas which were fine, and veg chao chao. The chao chao was awful. It was spaghetti noodle, and had the consistency of left over spaghetti noodles. It was very oily. To be fair, I asked for spicy and it was on point there, but I think they use a chili oil for spice. It left a plate full of oil which is unappealing. Moreover it had no flavour, just heat.
Also in fairness, my partner got the lamb chao chao, and he quite liked it. He also tried mine and said it was very different than his. He got chicken momos, and was not impressed. They, too, had seen hard battle, and the chicken, he claims, was dry.
I was incredibly disappointed. We have a great momo place where we live, and generally seek them out when traveling. I give 2 stars because the service was decent and my partner liked his chao chao I’m sorry to say we will not be back.

First timer...will definitely be back with the whole family. I had the chicken thukpa. This brothy curry noodle soup was nourishing and delicious. Next time I am sick this will be my go to soup. I mentioned I liked vegetables and the owner even put in extra veggies for me! This is the locally owned home-made cooking type of place Boise needs more of.

It was our first time in, and the owner went through the menu with us. We went with exactly what he suggested: mixed momo, chicken chao chao(Tibetan noodle), and Butter Masala (and blend of Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala). It was excellent!!! I'll definitely be back.
