“What a great place. Our waiter Ramesh walked us thru the menu pointing out his favorites and that you can order how spicy you want yours. My fav was the Chicken Tiki Masala! Be sure to order the Naan bread basket assortment. Fantastic food and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend this place.“

“We went to India Kutir on a wendsday evening for my partners birthday. The server got us a free app and we ordered 3 entrees to share. All 3 were excellent with the Lamb Curry being the stand out. Service was excellent as well. 5/5 will return might only order 2 entrees next time. We had lots of leftovers.“

“They have great food with tons of vegan options and a wonderful patio! Today I ordered my favorite dish a roti wrap and it accidentally came with chicken instead of the vegan chickpea version. That’s never happened to me there before. They felt really bad about it and made me a new one and comped my meal and that of my friend. That is above and beyond an excellent customer service. I highly recommend.“

The flavor in these dishes was something I have never experienced at any other restaurant. They genuinely have a menu that caters to everyone’s likes and tastes. The service was wonderful and the owner was incredibly kind and eager to share his passion with us. I will 100000% be coming back and I highly recommend you go as well!“

“Had carry out chicken tikka masala — decided to get spicy (3/5 for them) and holy moly. I was drenched while eating it but the flavor was fantastic. Will 100% order again… but I need to know what the 5/5 tastes like next 👀“

“I had the privilege of trying Channa Kitchen and meeting Anisa at the Linden Hills Farmers Market. This was my first time trying Trinidadian food, and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. First, I tried the eggball ("mashed potatoes seasoned with aromatics and herbs, wrapped around hard boiled egg and fried in seasoned bread crumbs"). Then, Anisa gifted a plate of the doubles ("Turmeric-infused fried bread containing curry chickpeas and served with tropical chutneys") to try. All of it was excellent and I would definitely get all of it again. I highly recommend. Anisa was the SWEETEST and she treated us like dear friends from the moment we approached her stand. Her energy is radiant and her passion for sharing exceptional food and creating a delightful experience is unforgettable. I look forward to seeing her again and trying more of her offerings at the next farmers market, and I hope to make it to her location in south Minneapolis to pick up food before the next market because I cannot wait to try more. Channa Kitchen is a local gem, and I am excited to share this with my loved ones!“

“I love momo from MomoDosa (and Gorkha Palace). I can’t wait to give the Dosa a try! The sustainable plating is a huge plus (there is nothing like eating counter service off of a real plate) and enjoying it outside on the patio with a pour-your-own beer?! Amazing experience! I can’t wait to make this a monthly visit. Perfect for vegans, vegetarians, and carnivores. 🥰“

“My husband and I have dined at Clay Oven at least 20 times. Very nice ambience and great service. But the reason we keep going back is because of the food. We generally order some combination of chicken makhani or chicken tawa, shrimp coconut curry or shrimp korma, aloo gobi, palak tofu, and baingan bhartha, all medium spicy. And, of course, some garlic naan. We are very happy to live close to such an excellent Indian restaurant!“

“Fabulous option for takeout, and I love love love their lunch buffet.“

“Great food! Nice place. Go as often as we can.“

“I come here for dosa and filter coffee. Dosa has been great on every occasion but I found filter coffee okayish as it was not consistent. I have two suggestions- please have Irani chai also on the menu, and/or dollar chai like they have in other Indian restaurants.“

“Restaurant was clean. Went for late lunch around 2pm. Food was served very fresh. Service was awesome. The wait staff inquired for refills of rice and water few times, provided to go cups for soda proactively. Reasonable prices similar to rest of Indian restaurants around twin cities“

“Rashmi and her team did a fabulous job of catering our wedding in May 2023 in Minneapolis, MN. We cannot say enough good things about Gorkha Palace! We were regular customers of Gorkha Palace even before we wanted to have them as our caterer for our wedding reception. Their prices may be a tiny bit higher, but it is worth it - all the ingredients they use are organic and local, which we appreciated. Rashmi, the co-owner, was very flexible in accommodating our many special requests, including guests’ dietary restrictions and our last-minute venue change. The catering team was punctual, had excellent communication, attended to our guests’ needs, and left the venue in a clean condition. For our wedding, we did a buffet-style meal consisting of 3 entrees, rice, and naan, plus mango lassis and samosas for cocktail hour. It was the first time for many of our guests trying Indian food, so we were a bit nervous, but those nerves were put to ease when we saw our guests go back for seconds (and thirds), and compliment the food to us all night long. The lamb vindaloo was a hit, and got wiped out in no time! Being of Indian descent, we can certifiably say this food was top-notch in its balance of spices! Indian food was a significant part of our Indian-American fusion wedding and we couldn’t have done it without Gorkha Palace! Overall we would highly recommend Gorkha Palace for their catering services, delicious food, and dine-in restaurant as well :)“

“I have been coming here for about 10 years now. The lunch special is an outstanding value. Basically two meals. These days I order off the menu for take-out dinner. I always get chicken tikka masala (medium spicy), because I just can't get enough of it. This dish is also two meals, particularly when you pair it with naan. The staff are always kind and accommodating.“

“I traveled 30 miles for a special Parotta feast and they didn't disappoint me and made me to feel it is a worth it. Authentic style Parotta and Salna and other dishes. I like the ambiance very much. I strongly recommend it. The price is very reasonable.“

“Food was good. The owner was very nice, and friendly service for kids. Had Dahi Puri after a long time.“

“All the food is delicious. I recommend the Curry for sure.“

“Best Nepali Food so far in states, Thupka,MOmo are fantastic“

“My daughter and I just had the *most* delicious lunch here! Highly recommend and we will be back! (This time we had Bangalore style masala dosa, onion dosa with chutney’s and sambar & a wonderful palak paneer with cardamom infused rice) but there is so much great South Indian food on this menu that I look forward to revisiting!“

“We had such a wonderful experience here tonight and as always, the food is fantastic. Fast friendly service! We will be back!“

“First visit today. Food was great and Ravi, our server was very friendly and helpful in explaining the dishes. We ordered way too much food! But we will enjoy the leftovers- and we will be back!“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“

“Simple: great food! Taste and texture..“

“Everest on Grand will always have a special place in my heart. 16 years ago, when I was in mild labor with our oldest son, my husband and I ordered food from this restaurant. Tomorrow Leo turns 16 years old. So on the eve of his birthday, out of nostalgia, we ordered the exact same dishes we ate before he was born. Chicken Curry (Kukhura-ko Maasu), Goat Curry (Khasiko Maasu), Tomato Achaar and Potato Achaar. It’s so lovely that this wonderful family-owned restaurant still exists, and we can share the exact same delicious dishes with Leo and his two other siblings.“
