I went with a friend who had the fish curry and I had the vegetrian Momos. The food was excellent and the service attentive. The owner is very helpful and willing to answer questions and provide suggestions. The mango lassi was something special. Pleasant outdoor patio seating. I will definitely return.

Delicious food, especially the chicken chow mien which had the perfect amount of kick and was even better the next day!

On a Sunday night, we wanted a place with delicious Indian food. I started my search on Yelp as usual and came upon this place. I personally wasn't craving for Indian food so I liked that this place had Nepalese food as well. We reserved our table and head out there a little bit early. We had a hard time finding the location of this restaurant but with a help of an old lady we were able to locate this place. The place wasn't crowded and we appreciated the design of the place and paintings on the walls. Our server was really nice and gave us some recommendations. We started with chicken 65. I am not an expert on the chicken 65 but it was spicy and flavorful. For the main course, we had lamb Rohan josh and butter chicken. Butter chicken was the most popular item on the menu but we both agreed that the lamb Rohan josh was a lot better. Even though the butter chicken was good but I think the color could be improved toward more orange and the taste was a little bit too sweet for me. I never been to India so I can't say I am an expert to say this wasn't authentic butter chicken. For the dessert we had their masala tea which they were very generous about and also kunfi. We got the pistachio ice cream. The presentation and the taste both were really good. All in all I am really happy with my experience and definitely would go there again.

This place has A M A Z I N G food. We ordered the combo & the butter chicken, and also the chai tea -- that came in a pot. The food was really fantastic! The only thing that was ... maybe related to Covid, but the table had no utensils. We asked for them and even after some time, still no utensils until after our food arrived. Also, throughout the entire meal, we had no napkins. We had to go to the bathroom & use those paper towels. Very strange. Other than that, the food was great!

Review for lunch buffet when I went pre-rona. Their flavor is on par with Raaga in Falls Church, which is high praise.

We ordered: chicken jhol momo (jhol not close to authentic, but I'd recommend) chicken 65 (highly recommended) Pani puri Didn't get an opportunity to try anything from main course; would definitely love to come again.

Good food & decent drink selection. Severs are nice but a little slow, we were not in a rush so it was cool tho.

Well this was definitely a fun little date night that was spontaneous and yummy. My fiancé wanted Indian and of course I wanted to make sure we found the tastiest in our area. Namaste had a great veggie samosa ( that I couldn't take a photo of since I ate it so fast) and I got the butter chicken garlic naan while he got the mixed chicken platter . Next time we have the craving we'll definitely back . I have a nut allergy and they made the dish nut free just for me. A good cocktail always compliments a meal and great service is the cherry on top !

Delicious food! Ate comfortably on the patio during Covid. Staff was attentive and the food was priced reasonably.

This Indian restaurant still produces a hard menu so I had to take a picture. It is very full of options to choose from! We liked the outdoor seating area very much. The cuisine was quite different from any Indian food I have had in the past so I can’t really compare it. More on the sweet side but you were able to taste the different flavors and texture.The veggie samosas were HUGE!! and very filling! The chicken tikka masala was a golden color, creamy but not as much masala as I am used to. The Goan lamb fell apart it was so tender. The honey shrimp looked better than they tasted. They were sticky but lacked any real flavors. The breads were good. I recommend this place if you are looking for something different. They need to do a better job keeping the bathroom clean.
This is the first Nepalese restaurant that i came across that has the typical Nepali taste on every foods. Momo is really good here.

Food: Food was amazing. Some were spicy and some were mild. Make sure you inform the server the level of spicy you can handle. All the dishes we ordered were great. Special requests: We had some folks in our group of six with dietary restrictions, but the server made sure he took care of it. Tip: Since our party was six or more, the gratuity was 18%. Service: The server also came by frequently to refill the water. Server recommended a yogurt based natural fruit drink that was really good. Solid recommendation. Parking: free for first hour in the open lot only a small walk away. Just go back to the lot to reset the meter timer and you are golden.

I am generally a pretty cheap person, so the prices on this delivery order were pretty off-putting... but it was 100% worth it. We ordered the Murgh Vindaloo (and asked for extra spicy), daal makhani, and Goat Momo, with some garlic naan and Kasmiri naan on the side. Portion-wise: It's going to be enough for *at least* 2 meals for 2 people. That makes me feel so much better about the price per dish. Quality-wise: It's absolutely delicious. The goat momo is gamey and flavorful; the daal is smooth and creamy, and the vindaloo... omg the vindaloo. SO TASTY. And when we asked for extra-spicy, they actually *made it spicy.* Like- sweat-beading, mouth-burning deliciousness that most of my family won't touch but makes me happy in a way I haven't been since Sichuan. So worth it. Caveat: The only thing that didn't blow me away was the garlic naan. It was good, but we got one piece (cut in half) for $4. Not worth it. The Kasmiri naan was at least interesting and different, but I probably wouldn't bother getting naan again; the rice they provide is good enough.

I’m a huge fan of indochinese — I loved the chili momos and the best gobi manchurian I’ve had around DC! My new favorite spot, a bit pricey but well worth it for the quality of food!
