    Nepalese Thali - Vegetable option
    Mari K.

    This is one of my most favorite restaurants in the GR area. Their food is traditional and delicious, both the Nepalese menu and the Indian menu. The family that owns and runs the restaurant are kind and accommodating - I have brought some friends who have had really weird dietary requests and they have always been accommodated gently. Really, this is a wonderful gem and I hope people continue to find and try it.

    Absolutely wonderful. We were getting a few last minute errands done before the holidays and popped in for lunch. It wasn't busy inside but had a very steady stream of take out. I got the goat thali and my husband the goat curry. Both were fantastic! The thali was a perfect sample platter coming with pickled veggies, naan, dessert and the best lentil soup I've ever had. Spice level 6 was just hot enough to taste all the flavors but still spicy.

    I've been wanting Indian/Nepali food for a while and luckily I found a nearby restaurant. I ordered takeout and my husband picked it up. We got Goat & Lamb Thali, Garlic Naan, and Steam chicken Momo. This restaurant had mastered the art of creating an explosion of flavors. We really enjoy the rich and velvety texture of vegetable curry & lentil soup. It was my husband's first time trying this cuisine, and he loved it. He also mentioned that the staff is very friendly. Considering the exceptional quality of the food, the warm reception we received, and our newfound appreciation for Indian and Nepali cuisine, we wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to anyone seeking an unforgettable culinary adventure.

    I was inspired by Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown episode to Punjab where the focus on Kulcha really appealed to me. The Onion Kulcha is superb here as is the Thali. The dish comes with chicken curry and rice along with lentil soup, rajma, papad, cucumber salad and yogurt with gulab jamun and naan. The Kulcha is in its own basket. Overall an outstanding meal with plenty to take home.

    Its been a long time I had momos and really looking around to find a jol momo(Nepali Momos) and came across this one. Desi spice chilli chicken, has that smoky flavor and wet, which exactly matched how I wanted it to be. Jol momos, was okay Hospitality is very nice and they welcome us with a warm smile

    I have been looking for momos in US since I had them in India. This is the only place that I was able to find in GR area that had them. I ordered the steamed chicken and veggie momos and butter chicken with naan. The steamed chicken momos were fantastic! I loved them! The filling had a great flavor and the sauce was spicy. If you can't handle spice it might be a bit too much. Also, for 8.99 there are a decent amount of momos. The veggie momos had a weird filling taste, I probably will not order those again. I was hoping for more from them. The butter chicken and naan were both really good. I would say this was the best butter chicken in GR that I have had. Its definitely on the spicy side and had a great flavor. I would highly recommend this place especially if you like food thats spicy.

    Incredible experience at Desi Spice! They had a very big menu with so many options. We tried the following: Chicken Saagwala Onion Kulcha Garlic Naan Desi spice special chicken Chicken 65 Johl Momo Everything was easily a 10/10! These flavors were deeply developed. I only wish I lived closer because they offer free delivery within 5 miles for orders $20 or more! I highly recommend you try Desi Spice. I don't believe you'll ever be disappointed.

    This place is right next to the Horrocks Market, so a perfect place to grab an Indian meal after your grocery shopping. The decor is humble and nothing fancy. But this is one of those rare joints where you get pretty good north Indian/ Nepali cuisine. Specially if you're curious about Nepali food, you must try the "momo". We went there to grab some lunch after doing the groceries and the chicken thali (multi course meal with chicken curry, lentils, rajma, naan, green salad, papad, yogurt, gulab jamun) didn't disappoint at all. The thing we liked about the food is that it's very different from most of the other Indian restaurants in GR due to the use of northern spices. The service was pretty quick so we didn't have to waste a lot of time waiting for the order either. All in all, a good place to try out!

    I can't rate them high enough. I was going to horrocks and rolled in here for lunch and was blown away. I ordered the chicken vindaloo and will now bring going back weekly!

    Nepali food caught my eye when I saw their sign and I wonders if they had momos,a Nepali steamed dumpling that I was introduced to on a trip to Kathmandu. So yes they make their own momos here.I ordered them-and they were delicious. Restaurant ambiance reminds me of a typical restaurant in the Himalayan region.

    Small looking from the outside and over the years that we have visited this place, it's switched owners for the 4th time. However, please don't let that deter you. The current owners do an excellent job of fresh preparation and good service. We had Prabin as our server during lunch and he had good recommendations and the food was very good. Highly recommend the Thali if you are looking for a good value and a very filling meal. I tried the Chicken Thali (included Butter Chicken) and it was excellent.

    Delicious food, generous portions, fair prices. What's not to like. Our family loves the Daal and Biryani items.

    Ordered take out so this is just a review for take out. Inside is small, dark, a bit musty…read moresmelling. - paneer tikka masala was amazing, great paneer, the sauce flavor was great. However their online ordering states veggies are in it and there were none in the take out container - beware that chicken tikka listed on the online menu is not the same as chicken tikka masala! We still ate it - good variety of veggies- but it has a strong numbing spicy sensation even when ordered as mild. - garlic naan that costs $4 for one piece(!!) was plain naan when we got it. Unfortunately it missed the mark for us overall.

    Pros: Chicken Kadhai was good Cons: Ordered online & didn't…read moreget half of what we ordered (they were out), flavors were so-so, the dessert was most definitely not what I ordered & looked thrown together (tasted awful) I was so excited to find a restaurant that had pani puri, chicken manchurian, and kheer. I put in an online lunch order for these as well as ras malai, and chicken kadhai and chicken fried rice for my husband (the menu noted it's their specialty). The restaurant called as my husband was pulling in and they were out of my two appetizers and the kheer dessert (my whole meal). We didn't want to cancel on them so I figured I would share his. The kadhai was very good -the meat was tender and the sauce was delish. The portion, for the price, was a bit steep. Maybe a scant cup of meat, a cup of sauce, and a cup and a half of rice for $15 -no sides or bread. The chicken fried rice wasn't great. Salt helped, but it was maybe a 5/10. The ras malai was really, really off-putting. I worried at one point that the balls were actually styrofoam and not food. Further, they were not in a cardamom condensed milk -they were in plain sugar syrup and they were definitely not cottage cheese patties. I checked against the website to ensure they didn't prepare them a different way -I think, perhaps, they were out of that item as well and threw a few things together. It was, really, really bad. I would probably not try again -from being out of half our food to us only liking one item, too costly and too much of a risk.
