Crispy cauliflower and samosas
Briana F.

I went on a Friday night and got the crispy cauliflower and samosas. Food came out fast and was great!

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!

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 Tikka Masala and Vegetable Samosa.
TJ C.

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.

Naan and basmati rice
Brittany M.

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

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!

The atmosphere was lively with the number of people dining inside. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The food took a while to come out, but it was worth it. My friends and I got the Chicken Tikka Masala, Gobi Manchurian, Vegetable Samosa, Mango Lassi, and Garlic Naan. The Vegetable Samosa was good, but nothing mind-blowing. They skimped out on the Gobi Manchurian, which was so crispy and well-seasoned. Mango Lassi was solid, slightly tart compared to others I have had before. I loved the Chicken Tikka Masala! So much spice and sauce in the bowl. It also tasted great with the Garlic Naan. This is a fantastic restaurant with delicious food. I should try Nepali food instead of reverting to Indian food, but it was too tasty to deny. I recommend everyone comes here for lovely South Asian food.

Himalayan Nepali Restaurant delivered a fantastic dining experience and easily earns five stars…read morefrom our visit. We came on a Friday evening and had about a 20-minute wait, but it was absolutely worth it once we were seated. Service stood out right away. Our waiter checked on us regularly and made sure our water glasses were always full, which is a small thing but goes a long way during a busy night. We started with ginger tea, which was warm, fragrant, and a great way to kick off the meal. For food, we ordered two appetizers, along with the chicken korma and butter chicken, and everything was phenomenal. The flavors were rich and comforting. One detail I appreciated was that the rice came in individual servings instead of one large shared bowl, which made it easier for everyone at the table. Great food, attentive service, and worth the wait, we'll definitely be back!

It has a well deserved high rating, so it is definitely worth searching for! I got the Tikka Masala with Shrimp ($18.99) and the flavor was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!

Walking into the restaurant it'll feel bright, airy, and welcoming. To be seated we checked in with the host and were seated quickly. During the week Masala House runs a lunch special from 11 am - 2:30 pm (Monday - Friday) which includes an entree, vegetable soup, naan, rice, and dessert. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and my partner ordered the butter chicken. I definitely prefer the butter chicken as chicken thigh meat was used vs. chicken breast in the chicken tikka masala. Both dishes were excellent and had great flavor. The rice and naan being included was also a nice touch. The vegetable soup at the beginning of the meal was also hot when it arrived and full of flavor. For dessert I ordered the rice pudding which was excellent and not too sweet. If I'm in the north Raleigh area again I'll definitely be stopping by Masala House for lunch.
