    Old dried out chicken Tikka masala
    Noelani T.

    So first and foremost,the fragrance is amazing from this restaurant,the pictures on the web are most inviting. HOWEVER, I ordered the chicken Tikka masala w/ garlic naan and rice.This was my first time going, and I am very disappointed. I walked in placed my order to-go and was advised I would be waiting for 25 minutes. And for some fresh food I don't consider that wait time bad at all. When I got my food it was very hot,so I assumed it was fresh. Unfortunately this was NOT the case. Everything was old. 1. The naan bread was wrapped in foil, even taking a piece of the bread out as I received my order,it was chewy and a tad bit hard as if a pizza crust being heated up too long in the microwave.( y'all know what I'm talking about.) It was definitely not fresh and cooked to order. 2 the rice was also dry,and not the dryness when you just finished it and it's cooled off and you did an amazing job because you didn't add too much water and you can tell it's just steamed. This was dry as in; I made rice last night in the rice cooker and decided to add a little water this morning to bring it back to life,their was a certain hardness to it that screamed " not fresh" . 3 . The chicken Tikka masala: very flavorful, but this chicken was dried o, ut and old,no where in a million years was this fresh or cooked to order. You know how chicken is white and cooked when you pull it apart,this chicken was dried out and you could see the fibers as if you were pulling apart beef jerky that was cooked in sauce ,it's almost as if it had been sitting all day under a warmer as if you ate some chicken at a buffet,or if it were cooked early in the morning and sat all day in some sauce,but the sauce wasnt thin enough to help it maintain its moisture while it sat under some type of constant heat source. And the last example that explains it best..but I hope is not true ; when you cook some chicken the night before on the grill, take it out the fridge ,heat it up in the microwave, and when it comes out its extra dry and you pull it apart like beef jerky..it was EXACTLY that texture but smothered in sauce.. if i am going to wait 25 minutes for old food,then i am entitled to write a review. The overall price was 15 dollars and some change ,which I would of been very pleased with IF the food was cooked to basic standards of a restaurant claiming " cuisine" in the name. They should change the name to Himalayan Aroma Leftovers. And as the flavors are definitely there. The quality is inconsistent and lacking extremely. This was undoubtedly my first and last time going. Gordon Ramsay would shut them down for even claiming they are a restaurant.

    Stay away. They are inconsistent! We got served gizzard

    There is no point in staying open till 2am if you guys can't afford to provide service that is consistent with the industry standards. The meat was uncooked to say the least if we ignore the fact that you served us mutton gizzard. If you wish to capitalize on customers who would come in till 2am for Indian food then hire some professional chefs and work staff. For now it just seems like entrapment.

    You wanna have typical Nepali momos? This is the best place to be. They are delicious, hot and juicy. They took sometime to be prepared but trust me the wait time was worth it. I wasn't a big fan of the chowmein. I would recommend the chilly momos and steamed for sure. Also they do not have chopsticks cuz honestly the desi momos you need to have using your fingers or fork! The place is small and not fancy. Simple and nice to enjoy your food. The food tasted fresh as well.

    I enjoy coming to this spot its convenient as far as location and food is fair. So far I've tried the veggie lowmein, veggie rice bahini (think that's how its spelled) and soup I wasnt to crazy about the tofu though so that's always pushed aside . As customer service and cleanliness; the girls were friendly and let you sit where ever and continued to check if we needed anything. Restuarant I like the set up and everything looked up to date, but I didn't get a chance to see the kitchen. Also I like their little stage, I'm curious if they have karaoke or special events hmm someone find out for me lol. So far so good no real complaints.

    Veg thali
    MeLynda S.

    I've never had Nepal food before. We stopped in to try it and everything was delicious. The waitress helped us with some recommendations. I had chicken chow mein and my husband had veg thali. Both were delicious! The chicken momo dumplings were so good! The only thing I would say is it needs some cleaning, but the food was really good! Glad we stopped!

    My rating is price vs. taste & quality of food. This place has amazing quality of food with very authentic taste. I tried the chicken thali, every item on the plate was very tasty and fresh. Except for the Chicken, every item can be topped up again. The lady who was serving us was very courteous and prompt. There were total 8 items in the thali; saag, dry squash curry, dal, papad, cauliflower curry, bamboo shoot curry, chicken curry and rice 2nd visit, very good as expected. Place got renovated and it feels better. Tried veg thali and mutton thali; both came off very nice.

    Jhol chicken momos: Hot steamed momos dipped in a cold soup.

    They serve one the finest momos. We were in a group and so tried all varieties of chicken momos. Chili chicken fried momos were the best tasting. Service and hospitality is very welcoming. I highly recommend this place for momos for anyone visiting Arlington area.

    I am a momo lover and this is my go to place in Dallas. Love the Nepalese cuisine here. The food tastes awesome, huge portion for every meal and the staff is so friendly. The portion and quality of the food is unbeatable for the price. Recently they redecorates the place with a small stage for live performance and overall the ambiance has a good vibe now. Would recommend this place for Nepalese food lovers and for momo lovers like me, would definitely keep going back there.

    I have now been to this restaurant several time. Food including Thali, Taas, etc. is pretty decent. However, service here is abysmal. I feel like Waiters have never been trained or have much sense for service. For example, the last time we went no one checked up on us till we were done eating. We got our check after paying, Waiter left in our table from some distance. Waiters almost make any eye contact or don't even show that they care. Also, cleanliness is not the best. Our table was clean but underneath the table there was a napkin & other stuff on floor. Seating booths were had some food & seems greasy.

    Nasty ass momo.

Of course, I ordered the chicken steam momo, which is consistently good as always. I also tried the Timur chicken for the first time, and it was really good...so good that I ordered a second one. The presentation and flavor were great. The first order was slightly crispier than the second, so the flavor profile felt a little different. Both were good, but I do wish the texture was more consistent. I also got the Badel Sadeko (marinated wild boar sauté), which I always order. It was excellent as usual, consistent in both presentation and flavor. Definitely one of my favorites on the menu. Now for the disappointment: the chicken thali. Unfortunately, it did not meet expectations. The rice tasted like it was a day old. It came with a cauliflower and potato curry, which was okay. The dal (lentil soup) also tasted like it had been sitting for a while, almost as if some ghee was added right before serving to freshen it up. The biggest letdown was the chicken curry. It was flavorless and watered down, very disappointing compared to the other dishes. The thali also came with saag (mustard), achar, and a gulab jamun (probably canned) for dessert. Those were fine, but nothing special. p.s. The service was perfect! Our server was the sweetest!

This time I went a bit all out and ordered the butter chicken momo, creamy Sichuan momo, tandoori momo, steamed momo, and the Delhi masala momo. Honestly, this visit was way better. Last time the biggest issue was the sauce, it just wasn't enough and everything felt pretty dry, but this time they really fixed that and the sauces actually showed up, which made a huge difference. Everything tasted solid overall, though it really depends on what you like since the flavors are pretty different across the menu. The momo wrappers are on the thicker side, so if you're someone who prefers a thinner skin, just keep that in mind because that was the case with all the ones I tried. My favorite ended up being the tandoori momo, even though it was a bit salty, the flavor was really good. I usually don't go for butter chicken momo, but that one surprised me, it was actually a hit and everyone at the table liked it. The Delhi masala momo was vegetarian and still packed with flavor, and the creamy Sichuan momo was also pretty good. The place was pretty busy when we went, but the service was quick, so overall this time it felt like a much better experience.

I tried... after a long wait of it telling me it was "working on it", it finally failed. When I called, I encountered the expected language barrier, so I decided I'd just go to the place and show them the order on my phone to avoid any confusion. Ambiance was just as expected. Inside a gas station convenience store. No frills. Perfectly fine by me. The first guy that showed up to help me was too busy cooking and sent some woman over. I tried to place my order with her. When I said "pork" for the momo, an option listed on the menu, I was told "no pork". Apparently only chicken. Then I tried ordering the chicken biryani. Pretty sure I pronounced it correctly--or at least close enough since it's worked just fine at other places. She had no idea what I was wanting. I showed her the order on my phone. I think she was telling me it was also not available; I really wasn't sure. Unfortunately, I had to leave. I wasn't feeling the "friendly 5-star experience" that other reviewers mentioned as well as what I've always experienced at the other Nepali restaurants in the area that I've been to. I see "under new ownership" mentioned on the website. Perhaps the 5-star reviews were for the previous owners? Disappointed.

My daughter lost her first tooth at that pub, such good memories of years past. There are still Guinness signs hanging behind the bar. Seeing those old signs brought a single tear to my eye. One door closes and another opens. The restaurant that now calls the old pub their new home is great! All is good with the new place, you might even say great. The interior is not that of a pub anymore. It has been completely redone and the dining room is quite nice. I wouldn't call it a quiet cozy little romantic restaurant, but it could be if that's what you need. I would be willing to take my kiddos to the new restaurant, as long as the six-year-old boy is acting like a human on the day we decide to go. There is a full bar too. I feel that anyone can stop in for any occasion a fit right in. I don't remember the names of the dishes that my wife and I had for dinner but the food was very good. We kept it simple and we both had chicken dishes. If you want to step out and explore culinary culture they offer many appealing options. The food was fresh and light. The spices that they use are aromatic and flavorful. I am guessing that there is a strong Nepali influence. The beauty of the restaurant scene in Arlington is that there is so many different authentic cuisines from very specific regions. If you wanna have Indian food in Arlington you have to consider what kind of Indian food you want. If you go to downtown Fort Worth an Indian restaurant is an Indian restaurant. This little restaurant is a good representation of what Arlington restaurants have to offer. We will go back, soon.

It is, without a doubt one of the best places in Arlington. We went with another couple who share my porous food boundaries so we ordered several thing and shared. The best bite was the vegetarian Aloo Cauliflower. Second best bite was the Royal Kofta Ball. We also tried a couple of chicken dishes that were delicious. You know it's a good place when you find yourself craving the Aloo Cauliflower even though it's been less than 48 hours. If you're in Arlington (and even if you aren't). Royal Nepal is Arlington's best restaurant--there, I said it.
