I've been looking forward to visit here for quite some time, and I'm happy I finally made it. The service was excellent; the staff was friendly and incredibly helpful. The food was absolutely delicious as well. The restaurant has a wonderfully calm atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing. Don't forget to check out the daily happy hour!

Veg momo

I don't usually go to H St but I'm glad we made the trek to go to Nanglo! I have never had Nepalese and it was a really delicious meal. It wasn't busy on a Friday afternoon and we got seated and helped right away. We shared the vegetable momos which we all really enjoyed! They were nice and crisp and saucy and the filling was super flavorful. I had the paneer chow min for my entree and it was really good! Portion size was generous and I took home leftovers.

Happy hour menu

I have been eyeing this spot for a few months, and I finally got to check it out for a happy hour on a Saturday afternoon. Gotta love a spot with weekend happy hours! When my friend and I got there right at the start, it was empty. But that gave me an excuse to really take it all the decor. The bar side and the rest of the dining area are divided by a half wall and beautiful bead curtains that come from the ceiling. The decor otherwise is colorful and eye popping. At the same time, it's not all that bright. Their happy hour includes $8 wine, $10 cocktails and $6-7 appetizers. I got their spicy mango mojito, old fashioned, spicy mustang aloo, and chicken sekuwa. The mojito was as spicy as I had expected, and I was surprised by how little to no ice there was. The aloo was mostly potatoes in a wedge-like shape with some other yummy flavors going on in a bowl, and the chicken was tasty. My friend's wings were good too. I would come back based on this experience, and I'd be excited to try some entrees. Vibe there is really nice.

Cauliflower that comes in the Lamb Thakali Thali

I walked past this place last year, and put it on my list to come back. I'm glad I did! The restaurant is cute and the service was great. Our server answered all my questions and I decide to get the lamb thakali thai. It was an abundance of food!! I had to get a box to take it home and it lasted for two more meals. The cauliflower was delicious, and seasoned well. The dal was also flavorful and the lamb was tender. The only thing is that I wish I had asked to make everything spicy. I really like the pickled radishes (mula ko archar)! It's a unique flavor that tasted like curry. And the gulab jamun (the round donut) was the perfect touch! I definitely recommend this place!

When visiting D.C. for business, I felt the urge to indulge in some Indian food. Super happy with Nanglo and the options to share with others at the table. The presentation and the quality of the food was superb. The atmosphere was relaxing and beautiful. The drinks were also beautiful and delicious. The service was quick and comforting and attended to our every needs. Highly recommend.

With the goal of supporting newest local businesses along H Street NE, a friend and I did a lunch crawl on a Thursday afternoon. Out of the four spots we visited, Nanglo was one of our favorites. Here's why. 1) Food: The menu focuses on Nepali and Indian food with many options. To feed two of us, we ordered the Nanglo Set for Two for $48, which was a great price for the amount of food you get. (It can feed three people.) It comes out on a platter is the best representation of food from Nepal according to our server. It's chicken heavy with chicken wings, chicken on the bone, biryani with chicken, etc. However, there are a few other dishes like potatoes with an incredible sauce and more. Everything had incredible spice and flavor and was well prepared. 2) Space: It's large with many tables, booths, and a bar. 3) Drinks: The Nanglo Set for Two comes with two mango lassis that were delicious! I'd go back just for that! Overall, we LOVED Nanglo!

Cauliflower Bezule
Isaac W.

Highly recommend. Cauliflower Bezule was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend that. I initially ordered a Goat sekuwa, but I found the meat to be tough so they swapped a Chicken Sekuwa and it was very tender and well seasoned. Great service. I will 100% be back to this place. It tastes a little different from normal Indian places, perhaps Nepali influence. I find the food here to be wonderful, and the interior decoration is beautiful !! Will be back.

INCREDIBLEEEEEE food and ambiance!! Perfect option for sharables, kind service, super delicious food.

Greatness
Kelley R.

Yeppp another 10/10 experience. Cute atmosphere very cultural. We ordered the curry goat and butter chicken. Fresh butter naan bread and we had a choice. Will try the cheese naan next time. Butter chicken was soo creamy and nothing but fresh flavors. The goat was the highlight.

Goat Curry
Arthur C.

Nanglo opened this weekend on H St., providing the neighborhood with a solid Nepalese-Indian restaurant. I just ordered the goat curry, mango virgin mojito and the gulab jamun with ice cream. The goat curry was solid, but I'll note that it has a lot of bones; the meat though is quite tender. The mango virgin mojito was sweet and tangy and a good mocktail option. I enjoyed my dessert and additionally appreciated the great service.

I have been eyeing this spot since it changed ownership and finally visited after my friend suggested we have dinner there on a Saturday evening. I do not think I've ever had Nepalese cuisine, so I was very excited to try something new. I arrived and was stunned to see the new look inside the decoration is outstanding the hand painting on the walls, the crystal lined curtain next to the booths the traditional napkins and serving dishes everything is absolutely stunning and thoughtfully curated for your dining experience. The staff was very friendly and did an amazing job with making suggestions and telling us which dishes were Nepalese. We decided to some sampling. We went with the goat sekuwa, palak chat, chicken thali, buff momo with chili and garlic naan. My favorite of all were the buff momo with chili and the veggies that came with the thali dish. Everything else was lacking in flavor and the goat was overcooked- it was hard to cut. I think the restaurant is beautiful and a great location and wonderful service I would try it again I would just like more flavor/spice.

Everytime I visit Nanglo, I tell myself there's no way my dining experience can possibly get better. Guess what...... everytime it absolutely does ! The servers are super friendly, the manager is very welcoming, the bartender is creative and attentive. The food is immaculate, cooked to tenderly perfection, with bold flavors, served with generous portions at a great price point. Combined, this makes the perfect ambiance for a deep dive into the diversity of Nepalese.

Menu

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding--we began with the Paneer Shashlik, which was perfectly grilled, well seasoned, and full of flavor. For the main course, we ordered the Nanglo Special Thakali Thali (non-veg), an impressive variety of dishes featuring tender tandoori chicken, flavorful chicken biryani, chicken momo, veg chilly momo, veg chow mein, tandoori wings, spicy Mustang aloo, and a refreshing mango lassi. We also enjoyed the bread basket. Portions were generous, and every dish was consistently delicious. The service was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Nanglo!!!

A true hidden gem! Himalayan Doko is my absolute favorite indian/nepalese place in the entire US (I…read moretravel a lot and indian food is usually a go-to of mine). The food here is extremely authentic and well seasoned I've eaten most of the lamb/goat dishes here and they're all phenomenal! The first time I came I believe my table had the goat curry, lamb curry, pani puri, samosa chaat, and butter chicken. And this time we got the goat sekuwa, lamb karahi, lamb thakali thali, and pani puri (again). I think it speaks volume about a place when the butter chicken (which is still great) is not the standout dish in a desi restaurant. And even then it's one of the most seasoned versions I've ever tasted. The dishes here are all amazing, flaborful, and not spicy (though I'm sure you can always ask about adding or taking away spice to the waiters). The service here is fast, there's never been a long line. And the place is very clean, spacious, and good for all ages. I cannot recommend this place enough, if you're debating whether or not you should come consider that debate over -- you're coming.

Food - Good, the lamb rogan josh is quite good and the doko special thakali thali was great as well. Everything is a very big portion Service - can be a bit slow, but is fine nonetheless Parking - Can be a bit tricky as they do not have a parking lot. There is street parking on the nearby streets but on a busy day it's unlikely you can find a spot very close. Overall, this place is good.

The moment you step inside, the space feels immaculately clean and surprisingly spacious, with an inviting calm that sets the tone for the meal.The service is exceptional... warm, attentive, and genuinely gracious. There's a quiet artistry in watching every momo crafted fresh right in front of you, each fold deliberate, each motion precise. It adds a sense of luxury through craftsmanship rather than pretense. The spicy momos were extraordinary: tender, aromatic, and layered with heat that unfolds beautifully. And the chicken chilly momo was a standout revelation...bold, saucy, and deeply flavorful, the kind of dish that lingers in your memory long after the last bite. Everest Momo Plus is a testament to how quality, care, and culinary skill can elevate any space. It's a place you return to not just for the food, but for the experience.

I hope the restaurant takes this seriously and improves its attention to cleanliness and food preparation. Because of this experience, I would be hesitant to return.

We ordered chili chicken, biryani, and two orders of momos, and the biryani "for two" honestly could have fed four people. Even after all three of us ate, we still had enough leftovers for two or three full meals. Overall, really good food, generous portions, and a great value. Glad we gave this place a try.

Immediately made a reservation for dinner, though it turned out that the restaurant had lots of empty seats (at 7:30-8:30pm). The dishes I tried: 1. Complimentary Sel Roti: fried rice flour "bagel". Crispy outside, sticky and soft and sweet inside. It was served with some Mula Achar (pickled radishes), whcih was too salty for me. 2. Roti: Feels like it is not whole wheat, unlike the rotis in many Indian restaurants. 3. Roasted Yak: I asked for rare and the restaurant did a good job. The meat was lean but very tender. A little bit gamy which was what I look for. It was served with brown and red sauces; both sauces were spicy, while the red was also slightly sweet. 4. Goat Bhutan: Basically fried goat intestine, goat stomach and goat liver, served with raw tomatoes, onions and puffed rice. Mostly crispy, like it was shallow-fried. The organs were delicious but too oily for me. 5. Brussels sprouts: It was said to be pan-fried but looked like roasted. Savory and sweet. Service was good and quick. Overall, if you like game meats and/or Nepali food you should try this restaurant.

I've even dined at both the original (Brambleton, VA) and Arlington locations of Himalayan Wild Yak, a spin-off of sorts by two of the original owners. Both of these restaurants deserve your patronage as well when you're in either Arlington or out by Dulles. They are all great. The difference that Royal Nepal brings to the "table" is simple. They never lost that neighborhood feel and they don't take their patrons for granted. With a location down the block from the Birchmere and nestled in the up and coming Arlandria neighborhood of Alexandria, they project both a hometown restaurant feel as well as an adventurous vibe - have you ever eaten yak? The staff are real gems and the ambiance is a real treat from the "pickled veggies" on the window shelves down to the handmade Nepali napkins, this place is a virtual travelog. I can only say explore their menu and you're sure to find a treasure right here in the neighborhood.

My Korean parents LOVED all the dishes! I thought everything was really yummy too, but personally, I wish it was spicier!! Mushroom Biryani (4.5/5) Solid biryani with a nice umami flavor from the mushrooms. I really like the bread top - you can dip it into any of the sauces you get. The fig raita is delicious too. Branzino (6/5) SO good. Beautiful, meaty fish. They didn't have the typical side that comes with it, so they replaced it with the cabbage, and it was honestly so good. I also really liked the sauce that came with it. Daal Burrata (2.5/5) Bland. It didn't really taste like much to me, and I don't think the creamy burrata added much to the dish. Chicken Tikka Masala (5/5) Yummy, tender chicken pieces. Probably the dish most similar to classic Indian food/takeout. Paneer Lasagna (3.5/5) Very unique dish! I liked the creamy sauce, but I wasn't a huge fan of the crunchy paneer bits. The saag flavor was also pretty light - I wanted MORE saag :) Very nice workers and a semi-casual interior.
