I always always always order xxx hot and it's never hot enough except for Nepalese restaurants. One in my hometown of Santa Barbara and now Kathmandu in Nederland. Wow- I ordered the lamb vindaloo xxx hot and the chicken tikka regular spice (good flavor but not spicy). I had to really take my time with the lamb and ended up mixing it 1/2 1/2 with the chicken on the second day. It was delicious, fresh, and SPICY! We also had the momos which were a little more doughy like an empanada and garlic naan ( VERY garlicky) and I never say that. We ordered takeout so I can't speak to the ambiance of the restaurant but the food was all wonderful. read more

I can't believe people are rating this major sub par food 4 stars It's clearly a 1 star or below Fact: Dinner buffet is clearly leftover from daytime buffet or possibly all the food leftover from the week It's sickening how I felt after eating this food Chicken was dry , burnt No flavor Nothing had flavor I'm still grossed out from this experience! read more

One of the enduring legacies of our trek to Mount Everest Base Camp is a never ending love for Nepalese food. After a nice weekend of skiing in the backcountry, it's so nice to stop at Kathmandu and enjoy there freshly prepared buffet with a hot chai tea. My faves are the chow chow, chili chicken, samosa and veg curry. The options rotate from visit to visit but there is always a compliment of vegetables and proteins to pair with your naan or samosa. Tons of vegetarians options on the menu as well. The service is always the same. Minimalist but enough to keep you happy. They keep the dirty plates at bay and keep fresh food stocked on the buffet until about 30 minutes before they close for lunch which is around 3pm. We've been here when it's standing room only but they have lots of seating up to groups or 14 so generally they can accommodate most anyone who walks in the door. They have minimal dessert items which is of little concern and they have a reasonable bar selection ass well. Love this place and highly recommend it to anyone who loves Nepalese or Indian inspired foods. read more

Our meal was flavorful and delicious. I was able to get dairy free saag chicken and mixed vegetables that still tasted good. My husband got the paneer masala and enjoyed it very much. A highlight was the saag pakora. read more

We were driving on the peak to peak highway on a very hot day and decided to stop in Nederland for lunch. Though the town was crowded, we stumbled upon this wonderful oasis which was just what we needed. The restaurant was sparkling clean with relaxing music playing. The service was friendly and attentive. We shared a mango lasso and both decided to get the buffet. It was plentiful and delicious. I especially liked the sweet potato curry, the chili chicken and the sautéed cabbage but everything was so good! It was one of the highlights of our trip. read more

Another wonderful meal here! We did the lunch buffet, which sounds mundane, but such a huge selection of entrees and sides! Comfortable indoor seating but there's a patio for warm days. Servers were prompt with drinks, clearing plates (sometimes an issue at a buffet) and bringing the check. Definitely worth checking out if you're going through Nederland at mealtime. read more

Kathmandu Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Nederland, Colorado

A good Nepalese restaurant in a small mountain town seems improbable, but this one is the real deal. With plenty of dining space, both indoor and out (though indoor is more aesthetically pleasing, many people still choose to eat outdoors because of the pandemic). We had lamb curry (a rich dark brown curry) and fish curry (a yellow curry). Both came with rice and had great flavor. As is common in many Indian restaurants (and Nepalese food is very similar), the meat and fish were tasty. The lamb was a little chewy (flavorful, but not prime), and the fish was a fish steak (tuna or swordfish consistency). Both dishes came with plenty of plain white rice. So, for a small mountain town, Kathmandu way exceeded expectations. Compared to big-city Indian offerings, this was pretty standard. read more

This is one of the finest restaurants in the area and it is some of the best Indian food I've ever had and I've been places like Nepal and London, where there is excellent Indian food! The people are extremely friendly, and my family has been eating here for decades. It is genuinely authentic and delicious. The service is great. The ambience is adorable and the food is fabulous. read more

What an excellent culinary experience in a wonderful town. Kathmandu 2 in boulder was such a treat and this place was even better!

Delicious food, really liked this Mom and Pop small place high up in Nederland. Party of 8. Everyone liked the hospitality and food. Some coming here for decades. In a small town as a tourist you could miss one of the best little places. Would come back again. read more

My fiancé craved this place from the moment we planned the trip to Nederland. When we stepped into the charming restaurant, we were immediately greeted and sat down by the owners who were constantly very attentive and friendly the whole time. We only ordered 2 entrees and an appetizer to share, but the menu was ginormous! I have to say everything we got was so so delicious and we had plenty of leftovers to take home. I'm still working on finishing off the rice! That lamb curry was pretty addicting I might have to get that one next time. I also need to try their chai beverages next time! Sounds like a lot of people enjoyed it. read more

Kathmandu Restaurant - Tandoori chicken - Indian Near Me - Nederland, Colorado

This spot is great for warm, comforting and filling food - even if you are on a budget. Whether it's summer adventuring, or spring skiing this lunch buffet has something to quell your hunger. Vegetarian? no problem. Can't take the heat (spicy heat that is)? no problem. Hungry n-o-w? The buffet is plentiful and ripe for the picking. On my most recent visit there were three types of rice, as well as many options that were free from dairy, meat, and gluten making it friendly for all in our group. The naan was hot and fresh and saag was salty and satisfying. The only thing that didn't taste quite the same as usual was the rice pudding. The staff are efficient and pleasant. The seating is plentiful with options both inside and out. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Always like supporting my local joints when possible. This place serves up average Indian food that'll scratch the itch when necessary, without requiring a trip down the mountains to Boulder/similar. I also REALLY appreciate the fact they are open later (10pm) than any other option up here. Sometimes getting to dinner by 7pm (so you aren't rudely showing up before they close at 8pm) can be a challenge and this place is a great backup. I've always gone during dinner- will check out their lunch (I think they might offer a buffet?) at some point and see if that experience is different. I HAVE seen their parking lot busy on weekends and/or earlier in the day a couple times. But it's always very dead when I'm there. Maybe one or two other tables seated, or it'll be just us. They are always super friendly, nice, and attentive. This CAN be interesting because when it's just us, it's almost TOO attentive (can make having a conversation feel like they're involved in the conversation too). But let's be real...the trade off for kind service is worth it. Prices are in line with what you would expect for Indian food in the "greater Denver" area and especially considering the location in Nederland (which is universally a tad higher). You'll pay roughly $15 for an entree. Portions are good and usually enough for leftovers. The Saag Paneer is excellent and I would recommend. The reason I struggle and would describe the food as "mediocre" is primarily twofold- 1) many of the sauces taste and look the same despite being labeled and described differently, and 2) overall, most of the sauces are VERY sweet. An example would be their chicken tikka masala and chicken curry. I STRONGLY suggest ordering a spice level (or two) above what you'd typically get to try and mitigate the sweetness. The proteins are neither dry nor particularly juicy/tender. Somewhere in the middle. So yeah, I'll be back. Happy to give them four stars and continue supporting. Just wish the flavors were better- in particular, not so heavy handed with the sweetness, and more distinction between sauces that should be distinct. read more

What a wonderful surprise in the strip mall of Nederland! We came in for lunch buffet. I was shocked at the number of options available... there were at least 12 trays! I grabbed some naan, samosas, and loaded my plate with curries, masalas, saag paneer, and more. Everything I tried was so buttery and flavorful. If I ever come by, I'd most definitely stop here for a visit. read more

We used to love this place. But won't be going back. Not only was the buffet selection rather poor, but most of the dishes in the hot trays were actually cold, including the rice! Worst of all it gave me food poisoning. I was up all night with terrible stomach pains and diarrhea. read more

Nederland is a decent day trip. On the "Good-Meh-Suck" scale, this was a "solid Meh+". The place is buffet only. The food is ok but not great. Would I go back? Maybe but not likely as there appears to be tons of choices in the area. Enjoy read more

Genuinely the best food I've had in my life. We travel 2 hours each way to get this when we have the chance. So glad they got their larger location in Nederland, they deserve it. read more

We are at the lunch buffet, SO yummy. I would never think to eat Indian and Nepalese food in a small town in CO. Best Indian I've had ever!!

This place is wonderful and full of great people! I regularly stop by here after a hike for their lunch special (buffet style, all delicious!). I've brought a few people here too & they've loved it as well. It's a great way to get a little bit of all of their dishes and get some energy back after an active day! They've got a lot of outdoor space which humans & dogs enjoy. Inside is full of enticing smells that will pull you in from the street. I believe they're just at their current location for a little while, but no matter where they are in Ned, make sure you stop in! read more

Great buffet selection. However, the tikka masala was disappointing. It lacked flavor and seasoning. It tasted like chunks of chicken tossed in a sauce. The chicken curry wasn't too bad. The rest were okay. I wasn't impressed by the quality at all. I would skip this next time I'm in the area. read more

This is one of those Indian restaurants where the quality of the food ordered off of the menu is significantly better than that from the buffet. The buffet is still good and I definitely still get it sometimes, but if you want this place's best effort, order off of the menu. If you never have, you're missing out. I'm super excited that this place exists in Ned. Indian and Nepalese food is the very best food, at least in my world. read more

Loved this place ! It was absolutely delicious. The service was extreme fast. It seems they have the food ready to go. I got the meat lunch special. It was sooo much food I even had some leftover for dinner. It came with chicken tikka masala, curry, samosa, vegetable chow and some type of pasta it was all truly great. Highly recommend if your in the area. Plate was $12.99 read more

The beer prices are amazing-$4 for a pint of New Belgium-small town prices for big city beer. And the patio was lovely! Highly recommend read more
