Excellent food touching on Indian, Tibetan and Nepali cultures. Great for dine in and take out. Really impressive spot with solid service

This is some of the best Indian food that I have ever eaten! The Chicken Tikka Masala raised my expectations of other Indian restaurants, and of course, the Garlic Naan was delightful. My date introduced me, and we both had a great time!Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp and nice spacing to get in between the seats.
The taste of the food is not what I had expected. It lacked spices. The overall experience was not so good but the ambience was decent.

This place has piqued my curiosity for a long time and I finally made it in for the first time. I'll definitely be back. I like traditional Indian fare very much, and the selections at Gorkha Palace seem like an exotic twist on that since there are Nepali and Tibetan recipes on the menu. For my entree, I got Lamb Vindaloo, which was different from other vindaloos I've had. It was all meat, no potatoes or anything else you might find supplementing meat in a vindaloo. The server cautioned me that it might be hotter than I expect, so I asked for the lowest spice level. That was not spicy at all, not even a little bit, so I wish I hadn't been talked down from a higher spice level. It could have used more flavor. Quality lamb meat, though. I also got "mo:mo", which are steamed dumplings. I'm a big fan of steamed dumplings and these were GREAT. They had a unique, tangy flavor that was awesome with or without the tomato-y dipping sauce. I might seriously get a double order of them as a main course next time. Except that I want to try more of their stuff. Someday, though. (Dumplings as an entree is normal for me, and should be normal for more people!) Prices are on the high side; many entrees are more than $20. Also they make it clear that there will be a 20% surcharge, and although that disclaimer suggests that you might end up tipping beyond that, my bill didn't have a spot to add a tip, so maybe that surcharge is actually an instead-of-tipping situation. Which I like, but the messaging is confusing. Free parking, a unique perk for this area, although when they're busy they'll run out of spaces. Those dumplings, you guys.

Kusuma is a great server. I got the best experience with her suggestions. Momos are authentic and mind blowing especially the chutneys that complement them. Love the cleanliness and the calm vibe.

Top notch food. Understaffed so spotty on the service times. Server was amazing but needed more help. No music of any kind?

Small cozy place. I was craving momo and their momo is good. We also tried their mutton biriyani and really liked it. The service is good as well.
