    Hives after restaurant (all over body)
    Irah S.

    I hate giving a bad review, and originally I would've given this place 2 stars but some many circumstances (allergic reaction/overpriced food) make me actually give it a zero if I could So to start off the service is mediocre, when my family and I can in we were seated quickly but then to order and to get the check we had to head to the counter to ask someone since it took so long. Because Diwali is today they had several online orders and so our three dishes took about 35-40 minutes. Additionally the pricing for the food does not equate to the quality at all. As South Asians I would say my family has a good barometer for South Asian food and there is a lot of room for improvement. The chicken leg was undercooked and pink to the bone, the momo dish's curry seemed to have too much lemon in it but at the same time was so bland???, and the veggie chow mein had an odd aftertaste. Additionally, out of the 200+ dine in experiences we have had at South a Asian restaurants we have never had to pay nearly $7 for TWO pieces of medium sized store bought naan that's the worst rip off I've seen to date. Overall our dinner added up to $70 which is absurd because on average our go to restaurants we can get roughly twice as much food for $80. The final straw was the fennel snack served at the front desk - I don't know what was wrong with it but my entire family had a slight allergic reaction to it orally and as for me I have had the worst/most painful hives of my life from my feet to up to my neck for the last 12 hours (still ongoing/on the come down). These hives started up about 30 minutes after leaving the restaurant so I know it was from here. Additionally the color story and dim fluorescent lighting gives the restaurant a very uncomfortable and claustrophobic ambiance, especially so at night. The red lighting in the bathroom did not help the case. Another thing aboit the service - they do not pick up food left from previous customers until all the tables have left overs it seems, next to where they sat us was someone's leftovers, and in the 1.5-2 hours my family was there the dishes of three other families were never picked up.

    Chicken Chili

    I had lunch with my uncle here. The New Kathmandu offers a number of Indian-American fusion dishes. As an appetizer, we ordered Mozzarrella Naan which has melted mozzarella sandwiched between two slices of naan bread. It was like an Indian quesadilla. As a main entree, I had the Chicken Chili. It's boneless chicken, slightly crispy on the outside, in a spicy curry paste with yellow, red, and green bell peppers. The portions were huge. (There's an option for dishes to be mild for those who don't like spicy foods.)

    Pretty good spot, but I don't have this cuisine much so my standards aren't high. Good selection of naan to select from. Easy menu layout to navigate. Had lamb saag and chicken tiki masala with garlic cilantro and basil naan

    Basmati Rice
    Negar O.

    Food is pretty good. I have tried a couple of different dishes and liked them, especially the chicken korma and chicken saag. The spice level is not as high as other Indian restaurants, so mild level was not flavorful enough for me and went for medium next times. The ambiance is not the greatest, but ok. Service is a little bit slow and they charge an additional 2.6% service fee for paying with credit card, which is not great especially given that the dishes are a bit overpriced and portions are not too big.

    I walked here from the hospital I work at for dinner takeout. The restaurant is in an old building on J Street in East Sacramento. There was a small area for dining in and no one was there. My order was ready when promised. Everything looked as expected and tasted very good. The garlic nan was warm and went great with my butter chicken. My vegetable samosa and mixed salad rounded out my meal and I was very satisfied. I will likely come back for takeout.

    Vegetarian Thali

    Had the vegetarian thali and all the different flavors were delicious. Came with 2 curries, rice, naan, dal, and keer.

    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Rachel K.

    My visit to New Kathmandu Kitchen was long overdue. I love Himalayan and Nepalese food and have been wanting to try their momos since I first passed by this spot while running errands. I finally had my chance and stopped in for an early dinner with a friend. While I knew I was going to order their Chicken Momos ($15.95 for 10), we also decided to try more of their options. We ordered the medium spicy Chicken Tikka Masala ($16.95) and the Butter Chicken ($16.95) along with rice ($2.95), garlic naan ($4.95) and a Masala Chai ($4.95). I always feel a bit basic ordering things like Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken, but it's a great way to judge flavors with familiar dishes and people love these dishes for a reason. Definitely comfort food! We were there early, so we were the only diners for most of our visit, but it did seem like a lot people were ordering take out and delivery. The wallpaper was gorgeous and they had a fun mural on one of their walls as well. I think next time I'd try to get a seat by the windows for slightly better lighting on my photos, but it was still great where we were sat. The food came out hot and fresh and everything was delicious. The momos were super flavorful and I loved the sauce with them. The butter chicken was SO RED, I wasn't ready for the color but it was striking and tasted wonderful. Even though both the butter chicken and tikka masala was medium spicy, we felt the butter chicken packed a bit more heat. It really will be hard to order different items to try because the tikka masala, butter chicken and momos were so good. The garlic naan is always a nice addition and my friend enjoyed her masala chai. They do have their own parking, but it is TIGHT! Also there is no indication that it is one way so people were turning in from J and 37th and the way the spots are set up it can create a bit of an issue. I was VERY careful as I was leaving and will probably opt for street parking next time.

    A true hidden gem. The food was amazing! Everything was fresh and authentic. Our dinner included samosas as appetizers. Then Lentil soup. Followed by the chicken tikka masala, Saag Paneer, side of basmati rice and garlic basil naan. Medium spice was perfect for us. You can taste the flavor but heat doesn't linger or burn you. Service was great, very respectful. Ambiance was cute. I liked their wall decor. I will be coming back. Prices are decent. Worth the money for sure.

    New Kathmandu Kitchen was a fantastic restaurant! My husband and I went there the other day for a weeknight date night. There were plenty of tables and there was no wait. Service was quick and friendly. The server brought multiple water refills without us asking and made sure the spice level was just right. Every dish was absolutely perfect. The naan was nice and crisp but not over cooked. All the meat was cooked perfectly. The dumplings were amazing. We will be back!

    I've visited a couple times and I love this place! I'm tried their butter chicken, chicken tikka marsala, garlic and regular naan, chicken momo and basmati rice and all of it was amazing. The butter chicken has an incredible rich red color and depth of flavor. The tikka marsala is a bit less intense. With both if you are not a big fan of spice I would recommend mild because even the medium is not super hot but just hot enough that it distracts a bit from the flavors. Service was very kind and the decor was very vibrant and colorful.

    Beautiful art!

    The food is amazing!! The service was delightful and the restaurant is so clean and beautiful! I love this place!!

For a not great buffet with a CAN of soda, I paid $26 before tip. I don't know if I am paying for the midtown location, but definitely not for the food.
