My favorite dish was the the sukuti sadheko appetizer -- the goat was almost jerky like, chewy (in the best way) but still tender; and spicy. It was served with these rice crispies that looked plain, but had so much flavor on their own. It was a fun & delicious play on texture, flavor and spice. The braised yak was tender and warm with the spices and rice, yum. Loved all the options for goat, lamb, yak, etc. There were also plenty of options for vegetarians as well.

The bar area is big and spacious, and usually sitting at the bar means better, more attentive service. The place was mildly busy, so I expected things to run smoothly -- but that wasn't the case. Right from the start, the bartender wasn't very attentive. We had to ask multiple times just to place our order. For appetizers, we tried the Goat Buttan and the Wild Boar -- we wanted to explore some of the unique delicacies on the menu. Both dishes were interesting, and the Goat Buttan and Wild Boar were actually pretty solid. Unfortunately, the service continued to be an issue. We had to flag the bartender again just to order our entrées and even for simple water refills. We ordered the Mutton Taas and the Yak Chili. The Yak Chili was very good, but the Mutton Taas was extremely dry -- like eating cardboard -- and lacked flavor. Throughout the night, our bartender was constantly absent. More than once, we had to ask another bartender to get his attention so we could get basic service. After finishing our meal, we ordered a dessert, the Gulab Jamun. The presentation looked nothing like the picture -- more like a sloppy drop of pudding -- and the taste was just as disappointing. And again, we had to flag down another bartender because ours was nowhere to be found. Service overall was lackluster, and the tip options started at 20% with no 18% choice. For the level of service we received, 15% would have been more appropriate. I won't be returning anytime soon unless I'm specifically craving their unique delicacies -- which is once in a blue moon.

It was one of those crazy hot days so their AC was definitely struggling. It was like 86 inside which was not ideal but also it is what it is. We started with the momo sampler which was a really big hit. The wild boar was our definite favorite! The quinoa patties were surprisingly good but also exactly what they sound like. I got a vegetarian curry with paneer and mushrooms and it was very tasty. Highly recommend!!!

Cutely decorated interior and leaning a little on the not fast casual vibe. They are tucked away in a side street and share a parking lot with a couple of other shops. They give a complimentary lentil soup in an espresso sized cup was nice and yummy. I think they give it for any order. The soup was savory and quaint with slight texture difference of the rice puff toppings. In the past I had their truffle naan which was quite good, with a boar momos. In this most recent visit, I had the momo platter that consisted of 4 of the 5 momos: wild boar, lamb, chicken, and veggie. My favorite was probably the boar momo and then the lamb. My least favorite was the veggie momo. All had a nice texture. The sauces had good flavor. The orange had a small spiciness to it but not unbearable. Good way to try out a lot. We ordered the butter chicken, which was good. The chicken was a little overcooked and dry, and the sauce felt a little watered down instead of creamier. We skipped the naan and instead had the mango lassi which was good, more leaning on the yogurt side so tasted a bit more tart.

The lamb achari jhol comes with rice, but I recommend you also add an order or two of naan.

I got the Jhol Chicken Momo, which is the best kind. The Johl (tomato, peppers and creamy peanut soup) pairs really well with the dumplings. They also serve spice on the side so you can adjust to your own taste. The sweet mango lassi also pairs well and helps to cut down on the spice! Service is really quick and the server is friendly.

I always ordered the johl mono, aloo gabi, and either the chicken tikka masala or butter chicken and they're all fantastic! (Though I do with more chicken was added to the masala's and buttered chicken but plenty of rice and curry to eat). Be careful with the spice levels though because someone with a milder palette would find the "medium" to have the kick they're looking for.

I ordered the Spinach Chat described as "crispy fried battered spinach mixed with onions, yogurt, chutneys, and topped with pomegranate". I was expecting thick fritter-type things but these were light, airy leaves of spinach with an AMAZING combination of sauces on top. I couldn't stop eating it! I also ordered the lamb taas appetizer - small chunks of tender lamb with spices that packed a bit of a punch. I was so full from the chat that I brought most of the lamb home (with veggies from my friend's dish). My companion had chicken dumplings (momo) that were super yummy and the trio tandoori grill (she said the meats were very good - again lamb a bit spicy - and I got the lovely veggies to go). We shared desserts - kheer (rice pudding) that I felt was the weak point of the meal and pistachio kulfi (ice cream). The service was attentive and the foot really, really good. We will definitely return!

However, our most recent takeout delivery order was a significant disappointment. In all our previous orders, the samosa chaat was packed in a black plastic container with the dry and wet components separated, allowing you to combine them right before eating so the texture remains fresh and crisp. This time, we ordered two portions, and both arrived completely pre-mixed in round soup containers. As a result, the dish was soft, mushy, and soggy. Additionally, it contained a whole star anise and a bay leaf--ingredients we have never encountered in this dish before. I called the restaurant to ask if the recipe or packaging protocol had changed. The staff member stated the recipe had not changed and that the packaging issue "shouldn't be," adding that they would check with the staff. I mentioned that I had taken a photo of the food and offered to share them, but the offer was not taken up. When I expressed hesitation about ordering this dish again due to the lack of consistency, I was told the person was too busy to continue the conversation. They ended the call without taking my name, contact details, or photos to follow up. The flavor was tolerable, but the texture and lack of quality control were disappointing, and the customer service did not resolve the concern. Given that other restaurants in the area serve samosa chaat, we will likely be ordering elsewhere moving forward.
