    This place was decent. The food was good, but make sure you specify the spice level. The drinks weren't anything to write home about. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was pretty and had lovey decoration.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We came on a Friday evening with a large group (8 people) and made a reservation in advance. The service was really great, especially considering our large party. Highly recommend the buffalo and pork jhol momos, they were my favorite dishes of the night. The biryani was also very aromatic and flavorful, and the gobi manchurian was delicious. The goat curry in the dhindo thali was a bit too spicy for me, but still good flavor-wise. I also recommend the chaang, a type of fermented rice drink, which is slightly sweet and goes well with the spicy foods.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came here with a large group of friends and the restaurant was able to accommodate all of us![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We shared the buffalo and pork jhol momos, combo biryani, and the gobi manchurian. Everything was delicious, especially the biryani imo! One friend has a severe dairy allergy and they were able to check the ingredients in everything for us. We also shared a pitcher of the chaang which I wasn't sure I was going to like since I'm not a sake girl but I actually loved it. Was very easy to sip due to it's mild and slightly sweet flavor. And I got the dhindo thali with goat curry which was delicious! Never had dhindo before but it reminded me of fufu. I love trying new things. Goat curry was delicious but the goat pieces weren't as tender as I would have liked. The pickles and veggies were also delicious. The tandoori naan is ok, super thin and not very flavorful - reminds me more of a roti. Prices are a bit high ($27 for my thali) but it's doable if you share a bunch of dishes with friends. Overall I'd come back here.

    I'm not a huge fan of Indian food, but I was with a group that likes it so I was up for giving it a try. We ordered a wide range of dishes to share. They were generally pretty good, but in my limited experience with Indian food, I have definitely had better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance of the restaurant was a little underwhelming, but it was fine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall , not a bad experience, but it just isn;t my favorite kind of food.

    Omg!!! This place is so good. I went during Adams Morgan day and I was blown away. It was just me in there so service was top tier. The food was 20/10. The samosas were so filling!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It reminded me of the restaurants back home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will return!!

    Came here with some friends and it was sooo delicious!! This is hands down the best Nepali restaurant in DC!!! We got the thali with khassi and the plant based momos and everything was so incredible!!! The owner is so nice and made us feel welcomed and like family!! We will definitely be back!!

    Delicious Nepalese restaurant in Adams Morgan! I love Nepalese food and try to eat it often; this restaurant lived up to the hype for sure. The momos were a great start with a very hearty filling--they did not taste like a bland veggie dumpling in any way! For entrees, we ordered the thali and the butter chicken. Both came with perfectly cooked chicken in gorgeous sauces. Our service was extremely prompt, which was great since we were in a hurry. And the interior was beautiful and pretty empty too. Definitely come check this restaurant out!

    Decent place, food was good , I think the strength here was to get less of the "indian stuff" and more of the other stuff. The chicken tika was very tomato based ,which some love but the classic indian flavor wasn't there for me! Also, not a lot of chicken. The chicken biryani was an original blend , not the best but interesting enough to say its good, [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy little spot not a bad place to grab a bite[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . Service was good .

    I'm not a huge fan. The location is really nice, but the food is very average. The Momos tasted like trader Joe's' dumplings. The waitstaff was unable to answer any questions, such as what does fried vs. pan friend mean when it comes to Momos? Are fried Momos deep fried? The staff was anxious to take our order and almost pushing us too. We felt that was very unnecessary.

    I left feeling full and happy. This place is the real deal. I came here with 2 of my friends and they were both impressed by the food. We ordered 1 appetizer (gobi manchurian) and 2 entrees (paneer masala and veggie jhul momos) which was plenty for us. The vibe of this restaurant is really nice, and service was quick. I usually drink water quickly, and they refilled it every time. There was hand sanitizer on each table, which every restaurant should do. This is how we rated each dish: 4.5 - gobi manchurian. This was crispy and a little spicy, but delicious. Highly recommend! 3 - paneer masala. This was a bit more plain but a classic. I think this was more of a miss because it's a bit sweeter than we would have preferred. They could've added more vegetables in it, it was just plain paneer. If you want another vegetarian entree with a bit more spice and flavor, I would recommend the eggplant dish instead. 4.5 - jhul momos. I'm not vegetarian but I actually prefer the veg momos over the chicken. I believe the jhul momos had cabbage in it, and my friend and I usually don't like cabbage but this was delicious. 4.5 - garlic naan. Bread could've been softer but I liked the garlic coating. It was crispy, just not as fluffy as it could've been. 3.5 - mango lassi. In my opinion, lassi could've been sweeter. Overall, 5/5 restaurant. Second time coming, and hopefully won't be the last.

    This was my first foray into Nepalese food. Nepalese is similar to Indian cuisine, which makes sense as the countries share a border. We tried the chicken momo dumplings and the Nepalese style curry. The chicken momo was good, though in my mind I would have wanted those more as an appetizer than a main dish. The curry consisted of a choice of protein and then onions in a tomato-based sauce cooked with roasted cumin, coriander, cilantro, and green onion. Since I selected chicken the dish was $19. I would have liked there to be more ingredients than meat and sauce in the curry, but that's not a restaurant-specific opinion. The curry was made-to-order, and the chicken was well cooked. The space is in a fun area and decorated with interesting art and murals. If you're seated in the alcove, you can sit on decorated pillows.

The mango cheesecake was surprisingly light and refreshing!

We were a large group and ordered a wide variety of dishes including the lamb roll, lamb chops, palak chaat, paneer tikka, crab, shrimp curry, and the Everything Mango dessert. The food was delicious across the board, with plenty of bold flavors and beautifully prepared dishes. The downside is that it comes at a fairly high price, so I expected the overall experience to match the quality of the food. Unfortunately, the service was the biggest disappointment. We had made our reservation several days in advance for a large group, yet our server seemed to be rushing us from the moment we sat down. Even while choosing our wine, we were repeatedly pushed to make a decision rather than being given time to look through the options. It felt unnecessarily rushed and pushy, which really put a damper on what should have been a special group dinner. The atmosphere is lovely, with a sophisticated and ambient setting that works well for special occasions. Given the prices, though, I expected much more polished service. Great food, but the rushed service left a bad taste and unfortunately overshadowed an otherwise delicious meal.

Overall the food was good! Unfortunately we were disappointed by the service. There were no aspects of it that represented a Michelin star level dining experience. After sitting it took a while to first be approached by our server, we were given incorrect food at one point, slow to clear our table and glassware (empty glasses and plates sat for longer than normal), table not wiped in between courses when crumbs, etc appeared.
