While exploring, we discovered a new Indian/Nepalese restaurant and are so glad we gave it a try because the food was absolutely delicious. In addition to traditional Indian and Nepalese dishes, they also serve Indo-Nepali-Chinese fusion options like dumplings, chow mein, and chow fun--highly recommended! The owners, Bim and Arjun, were incredibly kind and even offered us samples of some tasty appetizers, including crispy vegetable pakoras and flavorful garlic naan. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. What stood out to us most was that none of the dishes were greasy, which we really appreciated. We ordered juicy chicken dumplings, a fragrant lamb biryani, chicken tikka pizza, and chicken tandoori--all of which were excellent. We even ordered chicken karahi to go for dinner! We'll definitely be back whenever we're in the Johns Hopkins area again.

I noted with some amusement that they sent new staff to serve me, and I figure that's fine, I'm closing in on 5000 Yelp reviews, I'm a veteran at this. I ordered slightly unconventionally, getting a spread of dumplings and a side of dal with some bread. The momos were delightful in texture. They way the were served with sauce in between them rather than on the side was a little unconventional, but the end result worked well. My dal was richly flavored, with a fresh tadka clearly evident on top. The bread wasn't quite enough to mop up the whole thing, but I don't mind just eating straight lentils from time to time with a spoon, so ultimately this meal was a winner. I would be more than happy to return.

Was this the greatest Indian meal ever? Absolutely not. Was it decent? Let's call it a…read moreparticipation trophy. As a solo diner, I was promptly seated, which was a great start. The restaurant was more than half empty, so I figured I'd be in and out like you expect at a downtown restaurant when you're dining alone. Well, that was wishful thinking. The service was slow as hell. It took forever for the shrimp to arrive, and then, when I was ready to leave, the check apparently needed to complete a spiritual journey before reaching my table. Empty tables everywhere, but somehow time stood still. I ordered the tandoori shrimp, which came with rice and tikka masala sauce, along with a mango lassi. Dinner sorted, right? Well, sort of. $25 for five pieces of shrimp felt like I had personally sponsored the shrimp's retirement fund. And the tikka masala sauce? So bland, I'm pretty sure the spices were still waiting for their flight to arrive. Naturally, I needed more protein, so I ordered the tandoori chicken. It was, once again, pretty mid. I asked for medium spice and received a level of heat that made me question my life choices. Medium should not feel like a personal attack on your taste buds. The chicken also had burnt edges, adding a little charcoal garnish to the experience. And here's the real kicker: despite serving chicken spicy enough to make me see my ancestors, my water glass was never refilled. Not once. Apparently, hydration was an optional upgrade. I skipped the rice and tikka masala gravy with the chicken because, honestly, I had already given that relationship a chance. By the end, I had spent around $50 before tip for a very mediocre dinner. That's not a meal. That's a small financial setback with a mango lassi. The location is convenient, though. I was staying at the Waterfront Hotel, and it was just a short walk away, which was probably the highlight of the evening. And to the restaurant: folks, please do better. Winning awards and putting up posters is great, but a wall full of trophies doesn't automatically make the food top of the line. The food has to do some of the heavy lifting too. This meal was pretty far from top of the line. And if you're looking for a quick, reasonably priced downtown dinner, be prepared to bring some patience, your own water bottle, and possibly a fire extinguisher. You might finish your meal before the check even begins its journey.

The service was really spectacular considering, and the tea was really delightful. Mango Lassi was too sweet. The space is quite large and they have seating on both sides of the restaurant. This is a no-frills restaurant and sometimes you have to grab silverware and napkins yourself but with two people working there and a restaurant full of people I thought the service was great. If you like a buffet, then I would very much recommend this place for you for Indian / Nepalese food.

We were given ample time to look over the menu (I hate being rushed!), and we ordered various things. I ordered the tandoor salmon, and WOW! The salmon was cooked perfectly and had an amazing flavor. It was brought out a hot plate, but I noticed they put a thin layer of veggies to avoid the salmon getting burnt or further cooking (such attention to detail!). The marinade was so yummy. I also ordered the mango juice, which was delicious and tasted like my favorite childhood mango juice box. The rest in my party ordered the chicken tikka appetizer, vegetable samosa (came with 2 pcs. which were the size of baseballs), garlic naan (they graciously gave us more on the house), and more. They also ordered the mango lassi and really enjoyed the taste and smoothness. They also gave us these fried veggie appetizers on the house, but I can't recall what they were called. Their portions were big and plenty. Overall, my party and I enjoyed our meal and I also appreciated that they gave us our checks separately, saving us all the hassle of splitting the check and zelle/venmo-ing the money afterwards. I was in Baltimore for 8 weeks and it's shame I visited Sakoon so late, because it was such a great experience. The next time I'm in Baltimore, I'll definitely be coming back. Thank you!
