We get the frozen chicken momo's with two jars of the coconut curry sauce. I make them with basmati rice and spinach. Makes for an epic dinner!

I tried one with a mix of the coconut curry (mild) and garlic chili (hot) sauces. Ooh it was delicious! Soft and flavorful with the coconut and spicy tastes combining nicely. I decided to take some samosas to go and they were very yummy as well. I would love to get their frozen momos next time to take home and enjoy. I tried the veggie ones but they also have chicken and lamb. My friend bought a jar of their coconut curry sauce. The folks running the food truck were very friendly (including Subash the founder) and the bright orange shirts were a clever idea to stand out. Can't wait to try them again!

We came here during lunch on a weekday & we were the only ones there so it worked well for a lunch mtg & conversation. We were given hot tea right away which felt welcoming on a cold fall day. I ordered the photo-pleasing thali which comes with an assortment of items but the momos were the star of the show. The service was attentive throughout our meal. The food is vegan friendly too. I wanted to try more items so ended up getting the goat curry & noodles to-go. Noodles were slightly too salty but still ate it all. Goat curry was good. My coworker is from northern India & said this good tastes authentic & reminds her of home. High praise! As someone who aspires to cook Nepali & Tibetan dishes but hasn't invested the time yet to learn, I'm so glad this place exists! This place may seem slightly on the more expensive side, but everything is shareable & multiple meals so worth it! Check out this small local restaurant & make sure to stop by the grocery next store too.

It was dark outside when arrived and we missed the turn on the first pass. The parking lot is very small and the front of the restaurant doesn't face Rice St. As other reviewers have mentioned, the restaurant itself was rather small, probably only offering seating for a couple dozen people at most. Ambiance isn't something you're going to go to this restaurant for. While they had main and side dishes I was familiar with, they also had dishes I wasn't as familiar with. We ordered the samosas to start and they came out fast and were delicious. I ordered the chicken biryani since other reviewers spoke so highly of it. For context, this was my first time having Nepalese food. It appears there are differences between the spices typically used in Nepalese food that aren't typically used in Indian dish equivalents (or perhaps not to the same extent), but I didn't care for the strong blend of seasonings in the dish. At first it was hard to place what spice it was until I bit into a clove, and that's when I realized that was the flavor profile I wasn't expecting in the biryani that I was enjoying. It's safe to say that I was expecting more of a tumeric, ginger, garlic biryani, and not the warmer spices biryani that is perhaps the Nepalese style. The raita helped tame some of the flavor so I could eat some of it. I'm sure it's delicious to those who are fans of this combination of spices, it just wasn't for me. My daughter ordered the alook palak and said it was ok. In comparison to the amount of biryani I received, her portion size was quite small. Overall, I'm glad we tried some place new, and I had a new food experience. However, it's safe to say that I won't likely be returning, but again, perhaps Nepalese food isn't my jam.

My second time getting take-out here. I ordered around dinner time on a weekend and the food only…read moretook about 20mins which I consider good timing. I got the below items and while everything tasted fine, the flavors weren't very robust. Everything was ordered at Mild spice level which had a tiny kick, and the first two came with basmati rice. For some reason they put all the rice in one large foil container, which I later remembered happened last time (2-3 yrs ago). Honestly I wish they wouldn't! Anyway, while nothing tasted bad, 3 stars is the highest rating I can give. FOOD REVIEW: * Palak Paneer -Okay. I can't place my finger on it, but something in the flavor was lacking, and fell a bit flat. * Lamb Vindaloo - Okay. Noticeably more potatoes than lamb. The sauce was a bit thick, almost like canned tomato paste. *Gobi Manchurian - Meh. It was little too acidic (think tomato vs vinegar). Also, sadly it was soggy due to how it was packaged(see pic). They may want to consider using a container that allows steam to escape. *Garlic naan - Okay. TBH I would have been just as fine with the frozen garlic naan from Trader Joes. If I give it another try in the future, and it's for me and someone else I will request they place each entrees rice in it's own container. With stewed/saucy meats and veggies, I like to combine each bite with rice. Without a dedicated foil plate of my own (and say we don't have access to plates 'cause we're out) what do I do? Continuously dip my (used) fork into the communal rice to add into my small container of entree?! Anyway, on a positive note, they do have a decent number of parking spots in the small lot and a lot of tables if you want to dine in.

This is a little restaurant with about 15 or so seats at 3 tables. What they make are momos:…read moresteamed or fried dumplings with a chicken curry filling (they also do a veg version). As a first time visitor to the store, I got a complete tour of the menu, which is happily short and uncomplicated. The most help was getting all the food items explained very well. I got the combo, which included 5 momo (steamed), 1 meat-filled samosa, a bara, which is a fried bread make of lentils, spring onions, and spices. There were 2 dipping sauces available: harisa (hot hot hot!) and a sweet sesame sauce I don't recall the name of. When I ordered he asked which i wanted. I chose the harissa. When he brought my order, he brought the other sauce, too. And I was so glad he did! This little hole-in-the-wall place doesn't have much in the way of ambience, but it has charm, great food, and very friendly staff. I think most people get take away rather than dining in. I rather enjoyed sitting there, just enjoying the food and the heat from the sun through the windows and the spices. So happy I tried it. I will be a frequent visitor for sure!
