Kathmandu Bistro offers a delightful dining experience with its delicious and flavorful Nepalese cuisine. The restaurant is well-known for its properly cooked and graciously served meals, catering to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian diners. The mango lassi is a standout, described as the best ever, thick and amazing. The interior decoration features typical Nepali music and decor, creating a strong Nepal vibe that makes guests feel like they are back home. Visitors often recommend trying the garlic naan and butter chicken, which are very popular. The meal for children is also highly appreciated, with a 6-year-old giving a perfect 10 out of 10 rating. The lamb is exceptional, tender, and not overcooked, while the lamb samosas are loved by younger diners. Despite occasional waits during busy hours, the overall experience is excellent and worth the visit. The staff, especially the owner Gokurna, are welcoming and attentive, making each visit enjoyable. Many guests consider this place the best for Indian and Nepalese food they have had, with dishes like daal makhani, paneer tikka masala, and malai kofta frequently praised. The chicken chili is often called the best in the US among Nepalese restaurants. Guests appreciate the extra hospitality with items like rice and yogurt. Kathmandu Bistro provides a warm atmosphere with tasty, home-like food that leaves customers eager to return, ensuring that many will come back if visiting Rapid City again.
