    This is a very easy recommendation! Staff is warm and friendly, restaurant is cozy and cute, and the food is excellent. Great depth of flavor, made with a lot of passion and attention to detail. Everett/Malden have a disproportionate amount of Nepali restaurants and this place stands out among the pack. I'm genuinely looking forward to coming back. My only note is that the standard level of spice is quite mild. If you ask the server, they're more than happy to increase the heat to your taste.

    I finally got the chance to try this place since it opened! It's a small cozy restaurant serving tasty Nepali dishes! It's a great place for a date night and also for take out! The staff were also nice and welcoming! I tried a variety of their items on the menu and my favorite will have to be the Momos'! They are delicious and juicy dumplings! Their other dishes that I've tried were also yummy! I also love the mango lassi and tiramisu! I definitely recommend checking this place out and I would definitely come back here!

    What a great new spot for Nepali food! I dined in and had the Wai Wai Sadeko, which was packed with flavor and I enjoyed the crunchy texture from the noodles. I also ordered the steamed pork momos, chili chicken, chicken tikka masala and garlic naan to go. The momos were juicy, the chili chicken had a great balance of spice, and the chicken tikka masala was rich and well-seasoned. The garlic naan was soft, warm, and perfect for soaking up the sauce. The restaurant has a nice, warm, cozy ambiance, and you can really tell the food is cooked with care. It has that authentic, home-style "mom cooking" taste that makes it extra special. The staffs were friendly and attentive. Definitely worth checking out.

    This restaurant is very cute & cozy. Family run with great service. I highly recommend the Momo, Matar Paneer and Wai Wai Sadeko!! The menu is also vegetarian friendly. Would definitely come back whenever I have the chance.

    My friends and I walked by this restaurant and were excited to try it out. All the foods we ordered were flavorful and filling. The restaurant recently had their soft opening and offered us a side of egg rolls to try. The employees and servers were kind and attentive, checking on everything and what else we needed. We are definitely planning to come back again in the future!

    Chicken Momo

    I been meaning to try this new spot over the weekend but the storm delayed it until today. I ordered the chicken momo's and the chicken chilli. The chicken chilli was very good but the chicken momo's were one of the BEST I've had. I was able to talk to the owners as well and they were super nice. Small mom-and-pops feel to it. Will definitely be coming back.

    Everything was sooo good! Service was great and ambiance was cute and cozy, BUT THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!! I dont see much Nepali food around me, and this was such a gem! It was like a warm, comfy, quality homecooked meal. So good, Ill be driving to Malden from South Shore more often!

All the flavors were good, and being that it was our first time there I might have ordered too much food to try - Eyes bigger than stomach mentality! The Curry Shrimp was insane delicious, the Tikka Masala was good, Medium spice is slightly spicy for those that dont love it, just a heads up! I can deal most often times but this night my mouth was doing its own thing & my lips were on fire, LOL But still ate the whole thing because the flavor was spot on and I was just unable to stop shoveling it into my mouth. Ordered 2 pieces of Naan and wish I got 100, Its such a simple item but OMG I could eat it all night, its like potato chips, LOL I went deep fried momo and might want to try steamed next time, we will see... They were good, but I didnt love them, Just way too greasy for me but that might just have been because of the extreme delay in delivery they sat in that grease!!! Cant wait to try more thing again, and now Im drooling, LOL

I can't bring my friends in here coz the service is so poor.. Other day I walked in and said table for 1.. the guy said ok.. and didn't say anything else... I said can I sit ? He goes sit down.. the restaurant was empty.. then he disappeared, didn't come to serve water or take the order... I went looking for him.. I had to force feed him my order... I got water for myself from the fridge.. Finally get my order, I asked him to get more ice water please... he said "no problem" and disappeared.. its a hot day and its spicy food...

Restaurant appears dated and in need of some updates. Service was good.

    Very much like their other locations but more casual style. Seated right away on a Monday night…read more Staff was friendly and your food is brought out fast. Thai ice tea - not overly sweet light and creamy after you mix it. Green Thai iced tea - more tea flavor shown thru this version i enjoyed this too! Larb chicken - amazing dish i really liked it, only comment would be maybe the minced protein toss some bigger diced chunks in too to soak up that cr*ck sauce! Basil chicken fried rice - spicy good flavor overall and chicken was plenty. I sort of was hoping they would have the signature like basil spice "glaze/sauce" they could do like other spots for basil dishes but they did not. It's good how it is though but if i was to get crispy chicken - def would need a sauce for my taste anyways. Red curry with salmon creamy extra spicy (you can choose spice level) salmon was cooked well in here and the flavor broth went so well soaked in the white rice! Bbq pork skewers - like your friends bbq where their folks went all out. Shoot perfect drinking food. Nampla chicken wings- really good fish sauce base wings! As a viet i love this style chicken wing. Glad we went with these over the fried batter version! Free shrimp crackers while you wait. Crying Tiger and their other sister shops all do well i feel. For your money, you get full and the foods good.

I had ordered a bunch of things after calling and asking if they could make some changes & the girl who answered the phone was GREAT, so accommodating & friendly... (I was trying to order very limited spice for the kids) - so I just noted a bunch in the comments and we were good. Let me add, having no spice means NO FLAVOR... Yeah big mistake... My son didnt like it at all, so now I had a bunch of bland things but that was on me. We ordered a ton of apps, a few noodles, some veggies and a meat plate... All super fresh. Just mad that I nixed most of the sauces and such because they were so needed. The Pad See Ew however, I ordered as is AND OMG the flavor was great and I added extra veggies as always and the plate fed. me for 3 days, SERIOUSLY! Portions are insane! Cant wait to go back with another adult and actually just order as is!
