Amazing food!
Sarah G.

Kathmandu Kitchen is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the Triangle. I've never had a bad dish here, and their paneer tikka masala is hands down the creamiest I've ever had. The biryani is also super good, and I love the tea they offer at the beginning of the meal. Service is exceptional, and while I've never had their takeout I bet it's just as delicious. You will love the food here!

Chicken Curry shrimp Palak Shrimp
Shanelle Y.

Came for dinner on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was fairly empty. This along with the Himalayan instrumental music playing in the background made for an overall peaceful ambiance. The food took a little while to come out, maybe around half an hour. I ordered the chicken curry which was delicious. The chicken was very tender, not dry at all! I also tried some of the shrimp palak which one of my friends ordered, and it was amazing. The spinach sauce was creamy, buttery, and very flavorful. Every bite of this meal was amazing! Food and flavor wise I would give them an easy 5/5, but service could be a little faster and the portions could be a bit bigger hence the overall 4/5. Regardless, the food is delicious and definitely worth trying!

malai kofta and garlic naan
Aditi K.

I got takeout from this place on Friday night before the snow was supposed to start. Placing the online order through the website was very straightforward and easy. Prices are reasonable and comparable to other restaurants in the area. I ordered one order of the classic veggie momos, malai kofta, garlic naan, baingan bharta, and tandoori roti. You're able to modify the spice level to your preference, so I chose medium for the malai kofta and "medium plus" for the baingan bharta. My mom had most of the baingan bharta, so I didn't have much, but what I tried was tasty! I had the malai kofta and momos, both of which were absolutely excellent. The garlic naan was also quite good. It seemed nice from the inside when I went to pick up the food and was pretty empty, so I'd love to go back and try other menu items while dining indoors!

Chicken Tikka Masala and Vegetable Samosa.

My wife and I went there last night and enjoyed the vegetable samosas and Chicken Tika Masala. The staff is friendly the atmosphere is very nice and clean. The one thing that was a little off was the pricing seems a little high for what you get.

We have enjoyed everything we've tried at Kathmandu Kitchen. Service is good and friendly and the food never disappoints. A must try.

Samosa Chat -- as good a version as I've tried
Evan D.

Never thought I would be writing it but here goes: Cary is so full of Indian/Nepalese places that for my wife and I some of them have fallen between the proverbial cracks. We had actually been driving by KK on the way to our two standbys and had been to Golden Hex across the street but had no clue KK was tucked away at the intersection of Maynard and High House. Everest Nepali has been awful the last two times we have been there and Himalayan Range is closed on Mondays so we ended up at KK last night. I've tried probably a dozen or so restaurants of its ilk over the past eight or nine years and Kathmandu Kitchen is the best meal I've had, hands down. Service was just a super nice woman who was really on top of things and knowledgeable about the menu. My wife and I shared two appetizers and two curries -- here's our take on the meal: 1. Samosa chaat -- I'm not a bit fan but this one was totally good. You could tell the samosas were made in-house and it wasn't drowning in chana masala (Everest Nepali's was so much it was inedible!); 2. Crispy cauliflower -- basically gobi Manchurian. This version was excellent as the florets were cut large enough to the point where you could still taste the cauliflower and not just breading; 3. Bhindi Masala -- delicious, as good a version of this okra curry as I've had anywhere although the 'hot' could have been spicier (next time I'll ask for extra hot) And 4. Lamb Bhutawa -- one of the best things I've eaten in a long time and potentially the best Indian/Nepalese dish I've ever eaten. The lamb is perfectly moist and full of complex and savory flavors. It's a dry curry so not creamy or saucy but man is it amazing. We killed it and are already planning a return visit for more Bhutawa. Overall we absolutely loved the place and can't wait to return for some chhoila, goat curry, fried momos and of course more of that outstanding lamb Bhutawa

Chicken korma and the tandoori plate
Wowezow E.

The chicken korma is the best! I crave it. I wish it was in Phoenix! I definitely need to eat it every time I'm in the area. The biryani is delicious too. I really enjoy this restaurant!

Veg classic Veggies MoMo(Classic)
Vini E.

*EDIT* Visited again on 10/12, wasn't disappointed! Ordered chili chicken momos, tandoori chicken, navratna koorma and garlic naan. So good!!! ***************** First off, as soon as you walk in the place seems warm and inviting. Decor and space is very cute. There's pleasant music and a beautiful fragrance in the restaurant. Service was overall slow today. Our server seemed to be more interested in her phone. I had to call her to come take our order. Food is really nice. Below are items we ordered with review. -mango lassi: really good! -Himalayan masala chai: milky but still tasty. Probably one of the few chais I enjoyed at a restaurant in the US -veg classic momo: this was a little disappointing. I expected more maybe. There was too much salt in the stuffing. It comes with 2 sauces which were nice - butter chicken with butter naan: husband and son loved this! Probably the best butter chicken we've had in the US. Usually at other places the dish is too sweet. -veg chow mein: this dish was weird and different . Usually this dish is simple and doesn't have and sauce. Not sure if this dish was made Nepali style. If the sauce was less maybe I would've enjoyed it more. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant.

Butter Chicken Garlic Naan

Stopped in recently for the first time and really enjoyed the food. The space is pretty big to accommodate plenty of people and the few staff members we interacted with were friendly. Only tried the butter chicken and garlic naan but both were super good and hit the spot! Will definitely be back.
