This is a Nepali place but the lunch buffet is North Indian. It's a small spread but only $20. The Tandoori chicken was slightly different from the usual & slightly spicy. Butter chicken was quite sweet & tomatoey. These 2 dishes were quite good & the pakoras were decent. The other savoury dishes were alright. The naan, while fresh & crispy, was a bit dry (not just because it wasn't butter naan). The gulab jamun was cold & the pappadums were a bit stale. read more

Another nice momo place accidentally found! My mono radar catches any trace of mono on the street. I saw the picture on the front, and the next moment I was inside. We did takeout for: # Steamed chicken momo # Samosa chaat Mono was surprisingly good. Filling is meaty with the amount of vegetable is perfect to enhance the meat flavor and juicy tender texture. Spice was not overwhelming just right. The wrapper was handmade, with strong flour texture and nuttiness. Simple and good. Nice balance I liked it. Samoa chaat was good but a bit yogurt heavy. I prefer more fresh veggie & coriander in samosa chaat. They gave me a few papadum (in a separate bag) to sprinkle over the chart for crunchy texture. That's appreciated. Nice discovery. Glad to have another good momo place in the downtown core! read more

The thali sets, biryani, and naan are pretty good. They have a variety of biryani available, from vegetarian to shrimps, and Kashmari Pulaff (basmati rice cooked with dried fruits). The Vegetarian Thali contains 2 vegetable curries for the day, daal, basmati rice, naan bread, and dessert. The daal is flavourful without being overly watery. Service is quick and efficient. read more

The samosas and mixed tandoori grill is phenomenal! The service is very nice and it's definitely a favorite of mine.

Food was ok nothing special and the service was bad they gave us no bowls or spoons for soup. We had spicy momos and their special soup and the place was nice. read more

delicious food, great serving sizes, very filling and the service was quick and professional! Some of the best indian food i've ever had. One thing i'd change is the fact that you have to pay for rice on the side, but other then that everything was fairly priced and amazing. 10/10 recommend for dinner. read more

I'm always looking to try something different so I was intrigued when I saw that Kathmandu offered Himalayan/Nepalese cuisine. From what I've read, and what my server told me, it's a blend of Indian and Tibetan influences. I haven't had that before and the buffet meant I got to try several different things. They offer a small buffet, not too many choices. There were some popular Indian dishes, including butter chicken, goat curry, chick peas, basmati rice, and naan. I'm not sure I'm seeing the Tibetan influences. The butter chicken was a little sweeter than I'm used to. Is that the Nepalese style? The food tasted good but I felt like I missed something. read more

Went for the Winterlicious menu and was quite disappointed. We ordered for appetizers the chicken and veggie momas. They came out, after 1/2 hour wait, hot but the fried were greasy and the steamed were also oily and no flavor. For the mains I ordered the shrimp and the others had the paneer. All orders came to the table cold. Surprisingly as they are done in a tandoori oven. There were only 4 tables occupied in the place but the staff were more interested in the Skip and Uber orders. Selection for the price was poor. read more

came here for lunch with a few coworkers the Friday before Christmas. Kathmandu has a wide variety of a-la-carte dishes they offer. For those who aren't so sure, they do have a lunch buffet that's reasonable and quite popular among its patrons ($12). Our group however decided to go with the a-la-carte. Here's the breakdown: Lamb korma- This was a delightful dish, the gravy saved this dish as it went well with the tender pieces of lamb. momo's (dumplings) - I've had better, outer skin was too thick, was probably frozen. Chili chicken- Pretty good, but again, not really Hakka style as I've been to one too many of them to know if it's Hakka style. basmati rice- Great, no issues. naan- same, no issues. Overall the place was okay, however next time I may try their buffet as it seemed to be the popular choice. read more

Kathmandu Restaurant - Momo - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

2/3 of my children were likely conceived in the men's bathroom of Kathmandu - this food is really nice. It puts one in the mood for bathroom love with the scent of urinal pucks filling one's nostrils. Are you stupid are you papadum? Food is made with pride here they always cook the rice well and crush the naan. Unreal Thali, great & interesting flavour across dishes. Are you pregnant yet? Nepali Pauly D signing out. Edit: may be a 3rd pregnancy on account of Paneer Butter Masala (Medium). They even gave me a rice to improve lactation. The paneer is cooked beyond perfectly and the saucy has tang, spice and fresh robustness. Fuck me up. This one might be twins. read more

Great Indian restaurant located close to Yonge and Bloor. I have been here many times and the food is always really good and fresh. The restaurant is not that big but they have plenty of dishes for their lunch buffet. They usually have few meat dishes and about four veggie curries plus salad bar. In the winter time they also have masala chai included in the lunch buffet. I especially like their Saag Paneer and Chana Masala, but also their veggie and zucchini dishes are so good! The employees are very friendly, too. They recently raised their prices a bit but I think it's still worth the price! Will be coming soon again. read more

Good food and Service. Ambiance is relaxing. Started with Momos and had Butter Chicken, Aloo Gobi & Naan for mains. will definitely recommend others to visit. read more

I'm going to keep this short and save you time. The dinner a la carte food while deliciously edible, is overpriced. The service is sub-par at best and on average you can expect to be harangued by a discourteous and brusque waitress. No special accomodations made for special events here so don't host anything important here. If stopping for a quick bite then just go with the platter (see image) - the only best bang for your buck. read more

Lunch buffet: Not a ton of options, but their offerings are solid. My favorites were all there: curry lamb/goat, butter chicken, and palak paneer (spinach and cheese). All of the curries were very tasty. They do have naan to soak in all those sauces, so I recommend doing that. Sad story time. When we went, there was a large party that was also there, and some of them were in the line for food. I lined up after them. There were members of their party who were not in the line, but walked into the line in front of me, fully knowing I was there. I understand if there are kids who need to be with the adults in the line, but as they were adult males, I'd think they were old enough to know better. I was in line for one thing: naan. Because of those who cut in line, I almost didn't get any because the restaurant only made so much naan at a time. Sigh. Heads up, they occasionally do deals on Groupon, so you can check that out. read more

Nice, small Indian/Nepalese restaurant. I was here for lunch. There are pluses and minuses for this place, but all in all it is a place I would visit again for dinner. Positives for the lunch buffet: - Price: The buffet is affordable, and I got free masala chai (this is a big plus); - Variety: The buffet has both vegetarian, meat, cold and hot dishes; - Service: Service is nice and attentive, it is possible to order many extras. Negatives: - Space: the space is quite small and smells like Indian spices. This is quite yummy while you are in the restaurant; but it stays in your clothes, for your workmates to know that you had Indian for lunch... - Food: It can be better; also, they could have served fresh naan at the table. More positive than negative, this place gets a strong 4 stars. read more

I backpacked across India early this year, or more accurately ate my way across India - so naturally after consuming copious amounts of curry, I've deemed myself an expert in Indian cuisine. Although the name of the restaurant - Kathmandu suggests Nepally flair, they serve a fusion of North Indian, South Indian, Tibetan and of course Nepally inspired dishes. I came here with a girlfriend on a Tuesday night and we ate: - Papdam Lentil Chips: Our meal started off with a complimentary serving of Papadam lentil chips. At first bite, I was reminded of India. I am gluten intolerant and often ordered papadam chips to dip into my curries. It's a flat crisp made of chickpea flour and seasoned with black peppers. A great appetizer to share. -Lamb Sali Boti (4/5) (~$14) Tender lamb cubes stewed with freshly ground spice, dry apricots, and garnished with fine straw potatoes. The sauce was thick, rich in flavor and mild in spice. I would have liked to taste the flavor of the lamb more; I knew I was eating meat, but couldn't distinguish what kind of meat I was eating. Eggplant Bharta (3.5/5) (~$12) - Eggplant grilled over charcoal, mashed and cooked with fresh tomatoes, onion and spices. The curry was sweet, aromatic and also mild in spice. The composition of the curry was outweighed by tomatoes rather than eggplant. Still superb in flavor, but would have preferred the dish to have more eggplant texture and flavor. Basmati Rice (~$3) - the two of us shared a dish of rice. The rice portion is quite large and was enough to fill two of us. Chai Tea (4/5) - We ended the meal with a pot of Chai Tea to share. It was masala spiced with a hint of ginger. I gave the chai tea a 4/5 and have to admit this score may be unfair as it was delightful but nothing has compared to the shots of Chai from the streets of Mother India. If anyone has any recommendations for a place serving chai tea in Toronto, don't hold back on sending me a message! Summary: Food (4/5) - See ratings above. The curries here were thick, finely spiced and rich in flavor - overall very enjoyable. Service (9/10) - Incredibly friendly and conversational ready staff. If you like to talk to your service staff, then you'll really enjoy the service here. They are pretty eager to maintain a conversation with you throughout dinner and may perhaps even interrupt your conversation to engage in conversation. Possibly annoying if you are in a deep conversation with your company. Atmosphere (10/10) - Lots of seating available, great for family and kids and relatively quiet. ProTip: The restaurant may be difficult to find. It is located on the north side of Cumberland, just west of Yonge. It's beside the Pizza Pizza, down a set of stairs with a red sign. read more

Kathmandu Restaurant - Top: Eggplant Bharti. Bottom: Lamb Sali Boti. - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Possibly the best Indian Buffet in Yorkville hands down, if not all of Downtown Toronto and the whole of GTA!!! We went in with a Groupon (Lunch Buffet for Two + Lassi Drinks for Two). The service was very friendly, food was fresh, warm and/or cold (as necessary), and best part was that they brought fresh from the oven Naans straight to your table, unlike most Indian Buffets where the Naans go Cold & Hard. They even kept the Tandoori (BBQ) Chicken covered, so the chicken was warm & soft. The lentil soup was very good. But the best part of the experience was the Kheer (Sweet Rice Pudding) wasn't sugared like every single Indian restaurant I've visited. It tasted like home, and for once you could taste the rice, milk/cream, and the spices, not just the sugar. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 3/5 (Located next to a Cigar Shop, so there's a constant linger of cigars in the area) read more

I was really pleased with this place. First off the bat, they use Ritual for their lunch buffet. But points! What got me wasn't the food (which was great!). It was the service. I've been to other places in the area where they monitor what you get in the buffet and limit a lot of the things for you which is REALLY greedy. This place isn't like that. i picked what I wanted, all for under $12 for a large container. Suffice to say I was the envy of a lot of coworkers in the office when I brought it into the kitchen. Extra points for the amount Na'an I got. They didn't skimp on it at all and it was all delicious. Yes I recommend this place, if you like Indian food, then this is a place you should check out. read more

We landed up at the restaurant unplanned after our previous choice was closed and were taken care of immediately. The place looked great, and the food was brilliant. The person who took our order was very knowledgeable and friendly. Can't wait to be back! read more

Kathmandu Restaurant - I was hoping for a larger portion of biryani but it's still so delicious. - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I haven't been to this location in years, but I was passing by recently and thought I might try it out again. I ordered through a delivery app for 12pm and although the delivery time was confirmed, apparently the restaurant does not open until 11:30am, and as such, they were late in preparing and delivering the food. Overall - not a big deal. Good things take time ;) However, I was slightly disappointed in the order itself. I have fond memories of coming here for the dining experience and the buffet, and the recent meal just didn't live up. I ordered the Mixed Grill, which according to the menu is as follows: 'An assortment of tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, seekh kebob, tandoori prawn and fish tikka served in a bed of salad' for $25 plus the fees associated with the delivery app. That sounds like a pretty substantial and elaborate meal; however, what I received was a medium sized styrofoam package of 'mixed meats' as I'll call it. I did 'recognize' 2 small pieces of sheek kebab, both overcooked, one piece of miscellaneous fish with tikka (I couldn't tell what type of fish), 2 tandoori prawn (I chose not to eat these as you can TELL when seafood has gone bad just by the smell), but the saving graces were the chicken tikka and the tandoori chicken which were nicely seasoned. The 'bed of salad' was just sliced pieces of romaine lettuce with literally 2 pieces of carrots. Overall, I was disappointed. I'm sorry - I don't like leaving negative reviews, particularly during this challenging time when I try to support local businesses, but honestly, I recall having such wonderful experiences here and expected better. read more

After hanging out at home for awhile in the afternoon we decided to head out for an early dinner at Kathmandu, one of our favourite Indian places. We used to visit it fairly regularly years ago when it was located on Yonge Street just north of Alexander Street. They moved four years ago to Cumberland Street in Yorkville and while we have ordered takeout from them using Just Eats we had never actually made it to their new location. Located on the north side of Cumberland, just west of Yonge Street, they occupy the basement of an old house that was long ago converted into shops. There is a double entrance that sits in the centre of the restaurant that leads to a couple of more steps down to a dining area that is split into two separate sections. We opted for a raised seating area that looked south onto Cumberland Street and while the place was empty when we arrived there was lots of takeout traffic leaving the restaurant. The ambience is dark and muted with a beautifully painted eggplant-purple ceiling that was very relaxing. The service was quick and polite and the food as delicious as I remember from when we ate at their Yonge Street location. read more

I would never visit this place. Purchased a Groupon coupon to take my family for dinner. When I called them, they said they dont accept Goupon. The person was quite curt and rude. I can understand if they had a falling out with Groupon but being in the hospitality industry I would have accepted them to honor the coupon as it was published on their behalf and customer had purchased it. The guy I spoke to just said talk to Groupon for a refund. If this is how much they value the customer, I would not want to risk experiencing their hospitality...BAD EXPERIENCE read more

I came here with a group of friends for dinner on a weekday, and we did not know this restaurant had lunch buffet during the weekdays. If we had known, we would probably void since we may be getting buffet quality food for a-la-carte pricing. We also wanted to try a new cuisine, thinking this restaurant served Nepalese food as advertised. The menu was 95% Indian cuisine with only a several items that was Nepalese. This is very misleading to customers. Service: The restaurant was really quiet with only a few tables occupied during peak dinner time. Service was horrible. The server was not friendly at all. The plates and utensils we all got had stains on them. Several plates had stains and we requested new ones. The server gently grabbed a cloth and wiped it in front of us... He is that lazy to go grab new plates for us... Food: Food was mediocre. For the prices, I expected better. It tasted like take-out quality from a food court. Overall, I will NOT come back based on many reasons. It is overpriced Indian food. Food was mediocre. Most importantly, this place is extremely dirty since many of us had stains on our glasses, plates, and forks. Lastly, the server did not seem to care that we asked for new plates when he clearly saw stains on them. AVOID! read more

The rating is more of a 3.5 stars. Came here today (Thursday) around 1pm, the restaurant was quiet with 2 or 3 tables of people eating. We had to go inside to the register to find someone who actually works there. We were given the option to seat wherever we wanted to. Personally I feel that there is not enough lighting in the dining area, but it felt pretty comfortable as it was quiet and you get your own food whenever you wanted. The service was also good as the server came from time to time to refill our water and to take our plates, but he did not stand there or walking around while waiting for someone to be done. Foodwise, I only had the meat curries & spinach with rice and naan. The curries were all good & delicious, but they only have 3 different types of meat curry: goat, (butter) chicken & fish. They also have lentil soup, mixed vegetables, chickpeas, a small salad bar, ... I also tasted something that I thought was meat & didn't like it (not because it's not meat), but was something else and I couldn't figure out what it was made of. As for dessert, they only have gulab jamun and something like rice pudding in milk. The lunch buffet price is $14.99 per person + tax + tips. I've been to other indian buffets, and they offer many more varieties of food for the same price. Might come back one day if I'm around the area and looking for indian food. Food: 3.5/5 Price/value for money: 2.5/5, can get more delicious dishes at other buffets for same price. Service: 4.25/5 read more

Apps are over priced especially the Shrimp - $13.00 for about 4 butterflied shrimps, should have been more like $6.00. Butter Chicken is great though! read more

The food was mediocre. It wasn't spectacular, but it wasn't bad. I thought the shrimp dish was overpriced, since it's quite expensive but only comes with about 4 pieces of shrimp, and it was a bit dry. Service was very very slow. When we got the bill, I noticed that they were charging us for some items that we didn't order. I showed this to the server and they took out the mistake. I don't like having to double-check the bill when I go to a restaurant, especially when it's ta long bill of about $180. Here's something else that bothered me: We got a Groupon for this place. We called ahead of time to ask if we'd be taxed on the pre-groupon amount, or on the actual amount that we paid. They told me it'd be on the actual amount paid, and not the "value" of it. After we eat, the bill comes up, we find out that the info was incorrect and they taxed us on the "value" of the Groupon, and not the actual amount. That would have been OK if they told us the truth from the beginning. Knowing this, we would not have bought the Groupon, but we would have rather ordered from the menu. So yeah, even with the groupon, it ended up being over $240 after tax and tip. read more

Only go to this place if you have no idea of what Indian or Nepali food is like Service is very poor, despite being nearly empty Dry chicken, tasteless rice On the positive side.

First let me start by saying this is my first time at a Indian food buffet. I was apprehensive because Indian food is quite heavy, and I always have leftovers. But, the quality of the food here was great! And so many options for vegetarians and meat eaters a like! The quality of the food was so good! And having the buffet is exciting because you get a bit of everything. I'm a vegetarian and was so happy to see all the veg options, the servers are super friendly and everything was so great! The down side - my stomach is too small. read more

Decent all you can eat options. Curries tasted OK and the breads were served hot. Vegetarian folks have limited options.

I don't go out for lunch too often anymore, but when I saw a $12.99 Indian buffet in Yorkville, I had to go in (I was actually going to just get a salad from Salad Days). While the selection isn't large, they still had a very good salad bar, 10-12 hot items, soup and some dessert. There is definitely a focus on quality here as opposed to quantity. -Fresh naan bread -Bean masala was excellent -I can't comment on meat since I don't eat it on weekdays, but they had butter chicken, goat curry, and tandoori chicken but they all smelled very nice. -Even the salad was well dressed. In addition, they have a loyalty card. Have 5 meals and your 6th meal is free. Verdict: Good quality buffet and I'll be back. read more

Cheap and delicious. A great choice for a quick lunch and Yonge and Bloor. There are guys at my work who are here a couple of times a week for lunch so they must be doing something right. Fresh Naan is awesome and the lamb curry is a must have (just wish it didn't have so many bones, lol). Also do all the classics well (tandoori, butter chicken, pakora, saag paneer etc.) read more

Went for the buffet and it wasn't good. Had a few options but nothing was tasty. The butter chicken was so sweet I couldn't eat it. Every thing looked like it was left overs. The only good thing is that they give you fresh naan at least. The place was pretty empty but the waiter hardly bothered. Also none of the items are Nepali so if you are looking for Nepali food, go elsewhere. read more
