I ordered takeout from this place again and it was mid. The momo chicken dumplings with jhol were pretty good, the seasoning & sauce were tasty, but I’ve never had them at another restaurant so I don’t have much to compare them to.
I ordered garlic naan and butter chicken as well. I’m normally a biryani fan, but they were out of stock today. The butter chicken was just okay. The sauce was very sweet, no spice at all — which I expected. Now, the garlic naan was so bad. $3.99 for one piece of bread sliced into 4 pieces that tasted sweet, stale, & had just a hint of garlic.
If you’re looking for a place for dumplings 🥟 I’d say this is a good restaurant for you. Don’t pass up the jhol, it comes on the side.

I ordered the Nepali chatpate and was really looking forward to it, but it wasn’t very flavorful and could use more spices and veggies. I also got the chicken tikka masala which was really good! There was also no one at the front where my food was.

Great little spot that is easy to miss, but worth it! Generous portions, large but very clear menu, and the couple that owns it prepares everything fresh but quickly. Note that it's standing room only, so don't plan to show up and ask for a table for 6 😂

The Foo they served is horrible. I almost vomited after eating the Food. Ordered chicken Tikka MAsala it was chicken cubes taken from refrigerator and dipped inside gravy.

Could smell the fabulous fragrance as soon as I opened the door. Super fast service I was in and out in under 10 min. Food was hot and fresh when I made it back to my hotel and was delicious.

Recommended by a coworker to try this place. I got the lamb Vindaloo and garlic naan. The vindaloo was good and had a good amount of spice to it but could be spicier (my personal preference) Was a good heat to make you have a slight sweat but enjoy the meal overall. Compared to the other portions my coworkers got it was quite small but had plenty of lamb in it. I do wish there were more potatoes added.
The staff were friendly I believe they’re father and son. It was the grand opening and they gave us 20% off our orders so for Vindaloo, cup of rice, and naan bread the total was $15.80 usually the vindaloo is $17 and some change (naan not included) definitely will try again when in the area.

This is a fabulous, family-owned carry-out-only gem. The expansive menu includes dishes that are both vegetarian and with meat. I loved the momos. Everything is fresh and full of flavor. The owners are delightful people!

The chicken cubes were thick and dry. The sauce flavor was off. The naan was fine. The spinach paneer was good.

Disappointing! I placed an online order to pick up my food at a certain time but when I got there, it was not ready at all, so I had to wait another 10 minutes. The walk back to my office is only a couple of minutes and when I sat down to eat, the food was barely warm and the naan was a bit hard. I only ate a couple of mouthfuls before I gave up because the food did not taste fresh, and heating the food in the microwave would not have made a difference. You'd think that if I had to wait for my order to be prepared, the food would be fresh, right?? I will not be a repeat customer.
