We didn't know what to expect since this was our first time having Nepalese food but it was similar to Indian. We got the mutton momo (steamed dumplings) and they came with delicious lamb soup and fresh Naan! The dipping sauce paired perfectly with both the dumplings and Naan. The dumplings were bursting with flavor and we split the entree and left feeling fairly full for €17. Highly recommend trying this place. Service was not particularly friendly, but nowhere we've been in Helsinki has been, so can't really complain about that.

I have a baby (whom I mention every chance I get, because kid = sympathy) and he is exhausting. So Pikku-Nepal, you can thank him for my initial enthusiasm. Starving or not (and I usually am), I don't like crappy food. Pikku-Nepal is anything but. While their salad bar left a bit to be desired (Satkar has spoiled me), they still do a pretty great job providing the basics: lettuce, some dressed salads, corn, etc. It is enough to keep you full while waiting for the main meal. Their lunch special is outstanding. I had the saag with rice, daal, and some other side for around 9 euro. Standard but a great value. They also win "Best Naan" award from me. Even I ate it and I usually don't eat naan. I wish they offered papadum like Satkar does - that would take them up to 5 stars for me. Here's the summary: super flavorful everything. Nothing is an afterthought here, like it can be at other similar spots at lunch time. The presentation is lovely, service is good, they are patient with folks with babies (they do have baby seats but they're limited). Everything is just a few steps above "good". It's not fine dining but it is more than fine for me. I thought my food was great. My friend ordered a 14 euro version of the lunch special and hers was like a meal fit for a king. The price differential was clear in the variety differential and it all looked so amazing I almost went rogue and ate meat for once (she got the chicken tikka masala, I believe). Pluses: there is stroller parking in the back if you are more polite than me and don't haul your (my) Bugaboo that is the size of a Land Rover into the actual restaurant. They have high chairs. They don't mind your kid "eating" while throwing his/her food on the floor (I always clean up after mine), and the interior plus the service makes you feel like you're dining someplace special vs. schlepping around in your sweaty mom Lululemons frantically shoving massive mounds of food down your throat in case your kid loses his/her shit and you have to make a run for it. I love this place. You should totally come here. All of the specials look out of this world and I can tell you that the veggie options are some of the best in town.

I ordered a chili chicken which comes with rice, a green salad, and some raita (yogurt dip). While waiting for my order, I got to enjoy some complimentary papad (fried crisps) with dips - a very nice touch, I must say. Was the chili chicken very authentic - probably not, but was it fresh and tasty - definitely yes. It didn't really have chilis and wasn't very hot, but had a nice kick to it. It was a lot of food for one person, but because my hotel did not have a refrigerator, I decided to finish the plate and go back with a very full yet very satisfied tummy.

It was a little weird at first because both of us just wanted small plates, so we could sample a few things instead of spending near 20 euro for just one dish. The waiter suggested we get one main course since it came with bread and rice and salad, whereas we weren't allowed to just order rice separately. We thought it was really strange and went back and forth about it for a while. In his defense, we both thought it was probably a management thing being strict about a trivial rule. The waiter was super nice about it, though.. and in the end we were granted a bowl of rice on the side. The dishes themselves were delicious! We were very happy with our meal, so I think it's a worthwhile stop if you're in the city and in the mood for Nepalese. But.. order a main, I guess. o_o

I notice that doesn't always go over well here. Too bad. On that note, Satkar is by far and away the closest thing to the REAL Indian food I grew up with in San Francisco, the land of cheap, delicious, authentic ethnic foods. Satkar is like the best of both worlds: outstanding and authentic Indian food at dirt cheap prices at lunch time (€8.50 for lunch deal - main, side, raita, rice, salad bar, and potato salad or special salad of the day), fantastic service, and a really lovely and comfortable interior. The Aloo Ghobi and Chicken Tikka Masala exceeded all expectations and the service is quite honestly among the best I've enjoyed in Helsinki in 2 years. Smiles, conversation, a genuine interest in whether or not we enjoy our meal...where am I!?!?!? Since moving here, I've been unhappy with the lack of really good Indian cuisine but Satkar has changed all of that. Satkar is now in my Top 5 favorite places to eat in Helsinki. Outstanding! Bravo! Even if the food was just ok, I'd come back again and again for the wonderfully warm customer service alone. Thanks for making me feel at home and thanks for filling my belly with the best saag aloo ghobi I've had in 5 months or so.
