This is my first time putting some comments on Yelp. Their food was amazing and the service was awesome even though the situation where we are right now is very tough. I ordered food on line for pick up since this quarantine does not allow us to eat food in store. I ordered masala curry and rice. They packed foods properly and it's secured perfectly! I was having a very lonely weekend at home all by myself, but their food made my day, and it was just like 5 seconds "how-are-you?-I'm-good" kinda conversation but that meant a lot to me. Thank you very much for your great service and foods!! read more

Great meal! We had never been here before but will definitely be back. I had chicken Biryani and she had vegetable Biryani both were excellent and enough to take home for dinner tonight. We'll be back! read more

The new chef's food is really tasty. I ordered the Aloo Gobi and aloo parathna. Everything had good flavor and nice level of heat. The aloo ghobi was a tomato gravy which was new for me. They gave me a complimentary chai to round out my great meal. Staff was really friendly and followed safety procedures. read more

Amazing food! I ordered the jhol vegetable momos to go and they were packed very nicely. Perfect fillings, texture and taste. The owner is very friendly and he even called me when my order was ready for pick up. The indoor restaurant is open to 25% capacity and there are plenty of tables outside too. If you want authentic food, you must come here!! read more

Kathmandu Kitchen - Vegetable momos with jhol achar soup to go!! - Indian Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I cannot possibly understand how this place isn't 5 stars the food is awesome and better than everywhere else we've been and we've been to them ALL and the owners are so freaking nice. We eat there at least once a week trying ALL their options!!!!!! It's about time that Cary got a restaurant where the food is consistently great and the service just as great. When the rest of the world is in chaos and you find this one place to eat where you can not only choose your spice heat, the food is consistently great, the restaurant is super freaking clean (because they just seriously do a good job and not because of Covid but because they know how to clean a restaurant), the staff is consistently pleasant and my obnoxiously picky foodies were won over (age 15 and 54). Kathmandu is definitely positive asset to Carys dining options. We keep their menu in my salon for buffet Saturdays. (Not spicy to omg my soul is on fire spicy options) Vegan to extra meat options too Love this place is an understatement. read more

Great food , attractive ambience and excellent service! This was our first time but it won't be the last! Highly recommend it!

Very good food. Ordered take out and got the lentil soup, garlic naan and tandoori chicken. Everything was delicious!!

This place has some of the best Indian food I've ever had. The service is always OUTSTANDING- I can't emphasize this enough! Palak paneer is my go to. Honestly, everything that I've tried has been top notch. read more

This restaurant is a wonderful little gem and now our personal favorite go-to for casual but delicious dining. You can't beat the Lamb Seekh kabob and lamb rogan josh! The side of green kettles and lentil papadums with tamarind dipping sauce is a perfect meal!! Love this place. Cool music matches the cuisine and the service staff are very nice' read more

After hearing so much nice reviews about the food here we thought of trying but it was awful. We ordered veg dumplings and chowmein and both were not good. And for the first time I am seeing peas and cumin seeds in noodles We definitely don't recommend per our experience. It was not what we expected. read more

Let me start off by saying. I have no clue how anyone could leave anything less than 5 stars for this place. They food truly was a taste of heaven. So much flavor and so fresh. The only thing that rivals the food is the service. I don't believe I've ever had such attentive service in my life. Me and my girlfriend went for dinner last night and would eat there everyday if we lived here. not only were the precautions taken by the staff impressive but they truly went above and beyond to care for us. And let me tell you it's just as good, if not better the next day. Will be back, heck we may even go back for dinner tonight. read more

Yummy! I ordered the chicken momo jhol and chicken 65. Both were really good and I will definitely be ordering from them again very soon! I am looking forward to trying more items on the menu. Thanks for a really great dinner and lunch tomorrow! :) Please give them a try! read more

So very good! Portions are big so we had enough leftover to take home for dinner. I recommend the dumplings read more

I have traveled all over the world. I have been on six of the seven continents. I have met many people and tasted wonderful exotic foods and I have never had better Indian food. The restaurant owner works the floor consistently and has put his heart and soul into this restaurant. The service is fantastic, enthusiastic and courteous. My experience with this place has left a mark on my heart and I am so grateful to have had the pleasure of eating here. read more

We went here with friends last night for dinner. We had already been to 2 other Himalayan cuisines and were not happy about them, so didn't have much expectation. We ordered chilli momos, noodles and 2 paneer entries. Everything was very delicious, especially loved the momos. Service was lil slow. We would go back again to try other things! read more

Delicious, authentic Indian and Nepali cuisine! What a find this was. Our friends took us to this gem they had discovered, and we were impressed. The Tandoori Chicken was moist, flavorful and perfectly charred. The appetizer Samosa Chat, which I had never had before, was a symphony of flavor and texture, with chick peas as the stars. The puri, my favorite Indian bread, was crispy and puffy, just as it should be. Service was prompt, attentive and friendly. As of this writing this restaurant is relatively new, and those of you who love good food and live in the Raleigh/Durham should run, don't walk, to have a fabulous meal! read more

We were visiting friends on the Outer Banks, and while in Raleigh awaiting our flight, we stopped at her "favorite restaurant." We were so glad we did! Great Chicken Tikki Masala and Korma, and the puri and naan were really, really good -- I LOVE naan when it has a little burned flavor to it from the oven, and this was just right. Our waiter -- Ramesh? -- answered all our questions, and even gave us an impromptu lesson about his home, Nepal. Wish we lived a lot closer (we live in Colorado), or we would visit this place much, much more often. read more

We had an excellent dinner. The muglai shrimp -- shrimp in a cream sauce -- was really delicious, and the lamb saag (lamb and spinach in a cream sauce) was also top notch. We had an order of the garlic naan as an appetizer, and it was just perfect. We had the chai tea to drink. The restaurant doesn't have a liquor license yet, but our waitress said they had expected to get it today, so it should arrive soon. (You might want to call ahead if getting a drink is essential.) It has a pleasant but relaxed ambiance. It is in a strip mall, but if you're in Cary, NC, that's where you'll find most of the restaurants. read more

The food here was fantastic!Very nice courteous Staff waiting on us. Flying out of Raleigh and found this place on yelp. What a treat. Next time I'm thru The area I will be back! read more

We saw this place and thought to give it a try and, I must say, we were not disappointed. We shared the tandoori chicken and butter chicken and there was more than enough to go around. We also tried the aaloo paratha and it was delicious. Our waiter was super nice and attentive and we also spoke with the chef and you could tell he takes pride his recipes. Please try them out and support some very nice folks. read more

The best Indian and Nepali food I've had in the area. I've been coming to this place since around the time it first opened under previous management. The cuisine was a little more Nepali-focused with fewer Indian dishes. I miss some of the older options (like Jackfruit Biryani), but the quality of the new KK is still very high and much more consistent, and the newer Indian options are just as good. Visiting a mediocre Himalayan restaurant in NYC a while back really drove home how special this place is. The chicken momos are the best anywhere, all the Tandoori dishes are top-notch, and both meat and veg curries are extremely flavorful with high-quality ingredients. The restaurant suffers from the same understaffing problems as everywhere else, so service can be slow on the weekends, but the staff more than makes up for it by being extremely friendly and accommodating. A true local favorite. read more

The food was great!! Authentic Himalayan food and delicious. Serving staff vert polite and restaurant was clean. Mango Lassi was so creamy and tasty. Momo nice and spicy. We will be back. read more

Plz do not even care to go here... unless you want to waste your money and leave the place without eating... Please avoide this place if you want to eat Nepalese food Visit Himalyan the one on Chattam St. read more

Kathmandu Kitchen - Not sure what dal is this... its only regular dal nothing tastes like Dal Tadka... - Indian Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

My family and I love this restaurant! We have been here several times now and this is our go-to place to bring out of town guests as well. Excellent food and service...the owner Suresh was there almost every time we have been there and we feel he always goes the extra mile to make sure we have a great experience. Some of our favorite dishes - veggie and chicken momo, samosa, samosa chat, chicken tikka masala, himalayan chicken curry, salmon tikka masala, tandoori salmon. Will definitely continue visiting and recommending this place to others! read more

I don't give many 5 star ratings, but Kathmandu Kitchen deserves 5 stars. My wife and I just ate lunch there and feel that it is a gem. Our food was fresh and delicious and the service was outstanding. Kathmandu Kitchen is owned by a family from Kathmandu, Nepal. The flavors in the food are unique. I had the chicken curry, which was wonderful. We both had Lentil soup that was great. It differs from Lentil soup served in other local restaurants, but was excellent. We shared an order of Samosas, which were the best I've had in over two decades. The Himalayan Chai was delicious and the Olive Garlic Nan was some of the best nan I've ever eaten. We look forward to having dinner at Kathmandu Kitchen because there are so many wonderful things on their menu. They also have a full bar and are open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. read more

Horrible service. Had to go get waiter to clear plates, serve water etc. Food was mediocre. Not worth the 4.5 starts you see overall. The only food that was good was appetizers. read more

This was such a nice place to come for lunch! The food was good and came out nice and hot. The server recommended the garlic naan. It was really great! The server was very friendly and offered good service. The spice level was perfect for us, not too hot and not too mild. The flavors were spot on. The inside of the restaurant is cozy and inviting. I liked the videos of nature scenes playing in the background. I would definitely come here again for lunch! read more

Came here for dinner with my family over the weekend and it was super good. We found this place via yelp and called to make reservations. The service was so great and really friendly. Yes the food does take some time but it's all fresh and delicious. The spices are spot on and they are generous with the servings. We had the best time and don't be fooled by this strip mall restaurant, you'll be pleasantly surprised! Pro tip: I would call and ask about beverage options when you make your reservation. I think they are still working on their alcohol license. read more

This is probably one of my favorite Nepali Restaurants! The Himalayan Chicken Curry is amazing and the MoMos are pretty good as well! The server even agreed to give us some extra rice with the curry generously! read more

Tried out their Chicken Choila appetizer based on a friend's recommendation. Truly awesome and unique in taste. Their Himalayan Chow Mein is also quite tasty. Will definitely go back for more! read more

My husband and I ate at Kathmandu Kitchen last night (Valentine's Day) after reading a review of it in the News and Observer. The place was packed, but we were seated quickly and advised that the wait for food would be long. The smells coming from the kitchen were so enticing that we stayed, and we are so glad we did! The waitress apologized and told us honestly that they had not anticipated the rush of diners. My husband had the jhol momo and I had the samosas for appetizers. Both were excellent, the samosa pastry was flaky and buttery. For entrees my husband had the duck breast which he said was excellent and I had the chicken korma. The korma sauce had a wonderful, robust and tangy taste and the chicken was tender and juicy. We also ordered the bread basket which was a perfect pair-up for the chicken korma. Although we had a long wait, it was definitely worth it. The staff were obviously handling a stressful situation but we appreciated their honesty and the fact they they were up-front with wait times. We will definitely be going back! read more

I absolutely adore this place, and the people that work there. Always wonderful service, the dumplings are indescribable and delicious. The dal makhani and chicken tikka masala are two of my other favorites that I have tried but I'm sure all the other dishes are just as flavorful and well executed. I worked in a Nepali/Indian restaurant for quite some time and I have tried Indian food in more restaurants than I can count and this one really has a high bar. I absolutely recommend it. read more

The experience @ Kathmandu was amazing. I was lucky enough to go with a group of friends and had the good fortune to sample a bit of everything. Some of my favorites included the Chilly chicken and Crispy Cauliflower to start and Chicken Tikka Masala and Tandoori platters. Momo's were authentic and delicious. We were well taken care of by staff and can't wait to go back! read more

The service and food are excellent. The place smelled amazing as soon as we walked in. Great recommendation from the host.

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Every single thing we've eaten here on our 3 visits has been superb. I'm vegan, husband is omni, and we both love all the freshly made dishes at Kathmandu. This is now our go-to restaurant in Cary for delicious, flavorful dishes, and the service is A-Plus as well. Everyone should go there, you won't be disappointed! read more

Very good flavors and friendly staff. The crispy cauliflower was awesome. I highly recommend a side of garlic naan as well. Next time I am in town for work I will be going back. read more

I'd never had Nepalese food before, and I wasn't disappointed! My friend and I had a great dinner here the other night. Our server was kind, attentive and helpful. She recommended chilli momo, which I ordered. It was amazing-- the dumplings were flavorful, a little crispy and spicy without overwhelming my midwestern palate. I will definitely return again! read more
