Incredible atmosphere, brings you right back, if you've ever been.

Fully authentic, Dan (owner) and his fam go back home every year and bring things back. Everything tastes like I remember.

A little slower on the food prep, because they're doing it right. Just know that and come with patience or order the faster items.

Disappointing Experience at Nepali Kitchen – Charming Setup, But Food Falls Far Short

This place has a quaint, cozy setup — a little outdoor dining area in front of a family home. It gives off a peaceful, “café in the hills” vibe that feels inviting, and I truly wanted to enjoy it. Unfortunately, the food experience was a major disappointment.

We ordered the thali, vegetarian momo, and chicken curry, and none of the dishes met even the most basic expectations:
• The thali came on a flimsy disposable plate, with sticky rice and two side items that were both confusing and flavorless. One dish barely resembled a curry, while the other tasted like a mix between raw salad and under-seasoned sautéed greens — nothing like what you’d expect from a proper Nepali meal.
• The chicken curry was especially baffling — just chunks of chicken with what seemed to be only turmeric powder and salt. There was no depth, no aroma, no richness — just a pale attempt at a dish that should be comforting and full of flavor.
• The vegetarian momos were overstuffed with bland filling, lacking any defining taste. Even the achar, which is usually a bright, spicy highlight of the meal, fell flat — completely missing that signature zing of Nepali spice.

The saddest part? Learning that this is the retirement project of a couple who, unfortunately, don’t seem to have the culinary skills to serve good food — let alone represent Nepali cuisine to people who may be experiencing it for the first time. While it’s admirable to start something out of passion, running a food business requires more than heart — it requires skill, taste, and respect for the cuisine.

Given how disappointing the food was fresh on-site, I can’t imagine the to-go version being any better. This wasn’t just below restaurant standards — it didn’t even reach the level of a decent home-cooked meal.

The setting has charm and sincerity — but sadly, the food does not.

Food was gas, service was quick even for just one person working there, and the atmosphere was nice and tranquil.

We love this place!

Such a cute place to get dinner, the private outdoor seating is fun for the family, or just a couple wanting privacy. Food is delicious!

Very delicious fresh food in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend!

The food was incredibly tasty & super healthy. I ordered the Nepali set with momo. The entire restaurant is cozy and has a warm, welcoming vibe. It’s a family-run business, with the husband and wife handling everything themselves. I absolutely loved it.

Love the chai and atmosphere

We came to eat in the garden after work, it wasn't busy. We ordered noodles and soup, it was pretty good combo, I expected more veggies. We got chai which was good. The yard / garden you are at is very imaginative. The dishes are simple and the menu is small. It's like going out to the country you have never been to. Not necessarily what you expect but always exciting in its own way.

Momos are tasty, one of the best bathrooms I have seen in town.

The food and environment/ambiance is so unique and wonderful! The food is delicious. Got chicken Momo & chicken curry with roti. Spicy sauce wasn’t really spicy. Def going back!

This food is disappointing and doesn’t resemble authentic Nepali cuisine at all.Worst food with worst service
