Nov, 2024. Bethel Kitchens (Scranton, PA)/catering. For context, we normally live in Virginia, but…read morewould be hosting a Nepalese "rice feeding" ceremony and luncheon for our 6-month-old granddaughter and 17 guests at a home in northeastern Pennsylvania. We were thrilled to find Bethel Kitchens in Scranton, and my husband (who is Nepalese) made arrangements for a buffet luncheon from Bethel Kitchens, including delivery (15 miles away, $65). We ordered half-trays of a variety of items -- vegetable biryani (rice, with was served with raita (yogurt, cucumber, tomato); goat choila (spiced boneless roasted meat); chicken momos (steamed dumplings) served with tomato achar sauce; cauliflower and potato curry; small-sized (as we requested) potato and pea samosa snacks; and jalebi, for dessert. The food was authentic and very tasty, and the quantities were very good. One minor concern was that the curry was very spicy , even for the Nepalis in our group, even though we had asked and reminded the restaurant that we needed them to limit the chili peppers. The order was delivered on time, with good communications when they were on their way. Prices were fair and reasonable. All restaurant staff that we interacted with were friendly. We also dropped into the actual restaurant in Scranton to finalize the plans for catering. It's tastefully decorated, and welcoming. We'll definitely visit again for a meal during our next visit to Scranton.

Two stars for bad service. Order was 50% incorrect…read more Ordered delivery via Door Dash. Spent a ton of money because I've never had Tibetan/Nepalese food before, figured since my wife was away might as well go all out. Ordered pork sekwa, chicken choila, jhol laphing, aloo nimki, sadeko chawchaw, chatpate minimum, puri sabji, pork c-momo, and chicken thukpa. Figured this should be enough for the weekend. I asked for no raw onions (every line on the Door Dash instructions), every dish is littered with them. Some of the items are so tiny it's not worth picking out the raw onions, so the dishes will wind up in the trash. The sekwa and choila didn't come with the puffed beaten rice either, and I didn't get the puri sabji (got two chatpates). The best of the lot was the thukpa, very tasty and flavor soup with lo mein noodles and tandoori-esque bbq chicken inside. The pork chili momo was pretty good too, not too spicy, a little crispy, good texture. I was able to scrape away the onions from the choila, nice taste, little chunks of chicken reminding me of chicken 65 or chili chicken. It also had cilantro and other herbs but I scraped most of it off because I can't eat raw onions. The aloo nimki was saturated in oil, but resembles roti in a sense. It wasn't puffed up at all but I'll chalk that up to the delivery distance. I have one left, will use the potato dip later. The pork sekwa is fatty pork pieces in a red dye and tandoori bbq color with typical seasoning (cumin/coriander/cilantro and some citrus). I can take or leave it, not a fan of fatty meat. Will probably save it and saute it later with rice. The jhol laphing is also pretty interesting; cold noodle with some crispy rice bits and other herbs inside. I can't eat the chatpate or sadeko chawchaw as they're loaded with onios. Overall don't think I'd repeat an order since this one was badly messed up. What I could eat though tasted nice however.

This is a true hidden gem! Don't be fooled by the appearance. You're in for a great meal…read more Everything is fresh and made in house. The people in front of me weren't sure what to get and the owner was extremely helpful in explaining the menu and made some suggestions on things to try. The portions are huge and the prices are not.

The prices look really reasonable so we figured we'd give it a shot. When we arrived, the storefront didn't look like anything special, nothing really appealing to bring someone in, just kind of blended in with the rest of the block... And after entering, it still didn't really reach out and grab us. Not a lot of decoration, a few tables with chairs and a couple of booths, and a counter to order from which is perfectly fine but I didn't know having never been there if they had a wait staff or anything. So we looked over the menu for a minute and ordered a couple of dishes. My wife I believe had a chicken and lamb platter, and I had the fish platter. So far up to this point everything was fine but nothing was really over the top awesome, and then we sat down and ate. Oh my gosh that food was good. My wife absolutely loves tzatziki sauce which of course they had, and the chicken and lamb was served with rice and you get choices like lettuce and tomato and hummus and chickpeas that they can add to your platter. My fish platter was incredible. Her and I both commented a couple times to the gentleman at the counter that the fish was cooked perfectly. It was nice and lite and flaky and I wish there were more than just the two pieces on there. The price of everything did not break the bank by any means, and they do offer wraps, burgers, and breakfast items. We will definitely be returning customers...

Don't come here on Wing Night Wednesday…read more. We made the mistake of coming here on wing night. We got our appetizer, chips and dip. Chips were homemade and burnt... 3/10. Dip was fine, probably out of a packet. Little did we know those burnt chips would be the only thing we would be eating for an hour with little to no refills. Seemed to be forgotten about with us being inside and I guess everyone else in the back. After an hour, our food came out. I got the brisket tacos, they were good. 8/10. My table got a chicken cheesesteak and ask for no mushrooms and ofc it came out with mushrooms... We had to get the wings, the wings were good! An hour wait good? No. 7/10. It took a weird amount of time for our last entree to come out and it was just like chicken tenders on a bun, no love. Oh and the pulled pork sandwich was more like slop. Our waitress's excuse was that they had a new chef. Sooooo I guess they decided to start training this chef during service. Food - 8/10 Service - 5/10 Atmosphere - 7/10 Overall - 6/10
