I stumbled upon this incredible Indian and Himalayan restaurant that was open late. We started with the vegan Chatpatay , which was mind-blowing - the combination of crunchy and soft textures with the spices was absolutely delicious. I also ordered the vegan mixed vegetables, which came with rice; the blend of cauliflower, green beans, peas, and potatoes at medium heat was yummy. ​The ambiance is gorgeous, featuring a deep orange color, TVs, and a bar that serves beer. The staff was very nice and one of very few places open until 11pm, I will most definitely be back to try more of their vegan options. My friend ordered the chicken tikka masala, and the deep, gorgeous color of the dish looked gorgeous. CC accepted Bathroom available read more

I've been coming here for quite some time and realized I never left a review, so it's long overdue. If you visit, the sukuti and badel sadheko are absolute must-tries. Both dishes were exceptionally flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and packed with authentic taste. The momos were delicious, and the chutney complemented them perfectly, adding an extra layer of flavor. The thali was another highlight of their meal. It offers a great variety of items, allowing you to enjoy multiple flavors and dishes in one serving. A special mention goes to Anisha, who was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our visit. She regularly checked on us to ensure everything was to our satisfaction, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. One insider tip: be sure to ask about their special sekuwa menu. It's not listed on the regular menu, but it's definitely worth trying. Overall, the food, hospitality, and atmosphere were outstanding. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Nepali and Indian cuisine. read more

I ordered the Thakali Thali Mutton, although the menu I was given said it was goat meat. The quantity of curry, soup, and vegetables were on the small side, as was the other "samplers" on the tray. There were a lot of bones and not much meat in the curry, however the flavor was good, but not spicy. The lental soup was delicious. I am local, and will try this restaurant again. read more

We arrived at this orchid-filled small restaurant on Geary with plenty of open tables. Yet, it took us a long time to order and the food trickled in, starting with the Gobi Manchurian and Kheer (the dessert!), both I enjoyed. However, we were served vegetable Momo when we ordered buff Momo, and was disappointed not only In the wrong filling but how soggy the vegetables were inside. Chicken tikka masala was creamy but too sweet; vegetable soup was too salty; and the lassis were average in freshness. The garlic naan was light, flaky and chewy - the highlight of our meal. The menu is long and extensive, making me wonder if they pared it down to fewer items, the ingredients may be fresher and food made faster. read more

Sagamatha is the official Nepali name for Mount Everest, meaning "Godess of the Sky". Tried this restaurant recently for delivery and dined in. What's good: *butter chicken - it was delicious. *saag paneer - good. Even tho hubby ordered this mild, it's still spicy. *garlic cheese naan - it tasted good, thought it would be more cheese stuffed but it's not. What can be improved: *shrimp chow mein - chow mein was delicious but the shrimp was overcooked and dry. *tandoor chicken - too salty, maybe dial back the salt a bit. *mango lassi - tasted a bit off, maybe bad batch? Service was nice but a little slow and we saw lots of delivery orders, so maybe that's why. read more

Was in the area and decided to give this new Indian/Nepalese restaurant a try. Overall the dishes were delicious and flavorful, seemed very authentic. The ambiance of the restaurant was very casual and had plenty of seats available when we went there for lunch around 1pm. Service was quite friendly and quick. The waitress brought over waters as we sat down along with menus. She did come over a few times to refill waters and to check on our table. We got the: 1) Pani Puri(golgappa)(7/10) - This was very good! The pani puri exterior was light and crispy along with the fresh and aromatic fillings. The spicy mint water did a good job of complimenting the filling. Overall a good appetizer! Came with a total of 6 pani puris. 2) Garlic Naan(7.5/10) - Light and fluffy naan and the garlic was present but not overwhelming. A very good naan to accompany our main dishes. An order comes with 4 pieces of naan. 3) Chicken Chhiola Set(6.6/10) - My friend order this to give it a try and it was just okay. The curry/sauce that came with the chicken was flavorful and decent. Chicken was cooked well and still juicy. It comes with a Chiura(beaten rice), which kind of resembles oatmeal. There isn't any flavor to it, until you mix it together with the sauced chicken. Texture wise, it reminded me of small corn flakes without the corn flavor; it was an interesting dish. There were also 2 sides. A curry spiced cucumber salad; this was lightly spiced with curry and was refreshing as a palette cleanser. The cucumbers were still crunchy. The other side was a sort of black soybean salad; we weren't a fan of this given how hard the beans were. The flavor was good, but those beans felt like that can break a tooth. 4) Chili Badel(7.8/10) - This was my favorite dish that we had! Very flavorful and spicy(I opted for spicy level and it was just the right amount). The wild boar was pretty good, not gamey at all. It was on the leaner side for certain portions and resembled jerky a bit, but was still chewable. The savory spicy sauce pepper sauce that accompanied the wild boar was what made the dish! 5) Kheer(Rice Pudding)(7/10) - This was given to use as a complimentary dessert by the waitress. A decent dessert, lightly sweetened a with a hint spices(I think it was cardamom). My friend wasn't a fan given she didn't like the spice, but overall I did enjoy it as it was a nice refresher after a somewhat heavy and savory meal. Overall, an interesting dive into Nepalese dishes that were more authentic and less known. Would come back to give their other specialties a try when I'm feeling a bit more adventurous such as their buffalo or goat intestines dish! read more

Ordered as take out, giving 4 stars because the chicken momo are fantastic, taste super fresh, and they're huge!!! One order comes with 8 very large momos and sauce, I'd definitely come back for this! I didn't love the thakali thali chicken, the rice and chicken were a bit dry and the included sides were okay. Not necessarily bad but just not my favorite. The momos alone are very filling and worth going for though. read more

The lamb was incredibly tender (unlike my experience at some other places!), and the tikka masala sauce was super flavorful and delicious. Garlic naan was good overall, though a bit too soft and oily for my taste. The chicken biryani was solid and satisfying! The yogurt sauce was a nice touch. Service was decent--not overbearing, which I appreciated! Very humble storefront, no wait on a Saturday evening, and overall an excellent meal. And super reasonable price! Would definitely come back. read more

We went there for an early dinner on a Saturday afternoon and parking was I ordered the Thakkali thaali with goat curry. The sides were all as good as I had hoped and although they served the chicken curry, I didn't mind it so much as the wait staff was sweet enough to acknowledge their mistake and offered to take the food back and bring back what I had ordered in the first place. Of all the sides, my favorite was the lentil soup, also known as daal. The mustard and potato pickle, a uniquely Nepali dish usually served cold, also tasted quite authentic. If you're looking for an authentic Nepali meal, definitely do stop by. read more

Sagarmatha Kitchen - Thakkali thaali with chicken curry. - Indian Near Me - San Francisco, California

I used to really enjoy the food from this restaurant. When they first opened, the food quality was great and everything tasted fresh. However, over time, I've noticed the quality has slowly gone downhill. My recent Kheer Rice Pudding had a very unusual and unpleasant smell, completely different from how it normally should smell. It honestly made me uncomfortable eating it. It's disappointing because the food used to be much better. I hope the restaurant can take this feedback seriously and work on maintaining the quality they had when they first opened. read more

Just so happened to walk by one day and did not intend to eat there. What a surprise. The food was very delicious. Very well seasoned. Portion was good size compared to other similar restaurants. Love their naan. Very soft and thin. Not doughy like other places. Not in a high foot traffic area so may not be that noticeable. Service was good. There weren't many customers but the waitress apologized for having many customers and will be backed up a bit for the food. I was ok with that but it sounded like they are rarely packed or what I would consider busy. Nevertheless, I will definitely go back. read more

A new restaurant on Geary! I don't know a ton about Nepalese food but I really liked it. Like Indian food but different in ways I have trouble describing. I got the Thakali Thali Mutton, I wanted to try a bit of a bunch of stuff because it was my first time there. It was a *lot* of food. Even more than it looks in the photo because those slices of cucumber were also unusually large. But though it was a lot of food it wasn't too heavy either, not very oily. There was a little dish of what seemed like oil that I wasn't too sure what to do with, maybe it's for people who like more oil on their food? Prices overall seem very reasonable. Next time I'll try some of the more unique dishes they have, there was a lot that I'd never had before. I usually get food medium spicy, I had a feeling I should get it mild here and I was right. It's very quiet right now, hopefully it gets busier because I hope it sticks around. read more

Sagarmatha Kitchen - Badel Sadeko,Mutton Taas Set Combo,Chicken Momo and Chicken Biryani. - Indian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Sagarmatha Kitchen is one of those places you almost don't want to tell people about because it still feels like a hidden gem. The food tastes like someone's mom is in the back cooking with pride. It's deeply flavorful, comforting, and feels genuinely authentic. If you want to try something different from your usual Indian order, this is the spot. The Nepalese dishes are what really set it apart. The goat was incredibly tender and rich without being gamey at all. The wild boar was a standout too, bold and savory with spices that feel layered and intentional. You can tell these aren't watered down versions made for tourists. They're the real deal. That said, the classics absolutely deliver. The butter chicken was creamy, perfectly spiced, and had that slow simmered depth that makes you keep going back for one more bite. The garlic naan came out hot and fluffy with just the right crisp on the outside and enough garlic to make it addictive. It's the kind of naan you end up ordering a second basket of without thinking. The portions are generous, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the whole place has a relaxed, neighborhood feel. Whether you're adventurous and want to try the goat or wild boar, or you just want a really solid butter chicken and garlic naan, Sagarmatha Kitchen hits every time. Go hungry and bring friends so you can order a little of everything. read more

I was walking by Sagarmatha this morning and noticed that the restaurant owners along with friends and family were performing grand opening rites. So I had to come back for dinner and drop the first Yelp review for this new Nepali restaurant on Geary! BTW the restaurant name "Sagarmatha' is the Nepali name for Mt. Everest. The menu is very legit and they have several unique Nepali dishes. Dhido for example is reminiscent of Fufu but millet flour based and is eaten instead of rice in many parts of Nepal. Never seen it in the US! And then they have the obligatory Momos and Chowmein items which I will come back and try. Today I decided to go with a classic mutton Thali and a completely unique goat intestine dish called "Khasi ko Bhutan" that I've never seen at any other Nepalese restaurant. Both items were very authentic and perfectly spiced and cooked just right. Reminded me of my home stay in Nepal. Bone in mutton curry which is the centerpiece of the thali was as good as it gets with the fluffy rice. Accompanying daal and mixed vegetable thali items were also fantastic. And the Kheer dessert that comes with the thali was also excellent with the right level of consistency and sweetness. There have been a half dozen Nepali restaurants that have popped up in SF over the last year or so. Most feel obligated to overwhelm their menus with classic North Indian fare rather than Nepali dishes. I really appreciate that Sagarmatha dares to offer truly unique and authentic Nepali fare. Can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu. read more

We've been looking for a good Indian, Himalayan/Nepalese restaurant in the city and after trying so many disappointing ones, so glad we found this one! Ordered a light lunch -Baingan bharta, chicken tikka masala & garlic naan. Everything was so flavorful! Chicken was very tender, eggplant had the smoky flavor you want and the naan was so crispy & light. The owners opened 4 months ago and have definitely improved the interior of what was formerly Bistro Caliente. And they're super nice. Can't wait to return & try other dishes! read more

My family and I often go to Sagarmatha Restaurant whenever we want Nepali food because the food is usually very good and the service is great. Whenever we dine in at the restaurant, the food tastes fresh and flavorful. However, we've noticed that when we order online, the food doesn't taste the same as it does in the restaurant. We've ordered several different dishes online, and the quality has been noticeably different. On our most recent order, we also got chicken tikka masala and naan. The chicken tikka masala wasn't as good as expected, and the naan seemed undercooked, with some parts looking raw. I hope the restaurant can improve the consistency of their online orders because we really enjoy eating here. Overall, it's still one of our favorite places for Nepali food, and I would recommend it to others. read more

Flavorful and delightful without the grease! My new go to. The Daal is a must-have. Delicious!

We went for lunch last week when we were in sf and everyone was starving, so we decided to try this place based on a recommendation and I'm so glad we did! The food was amazing. We ordered four Thakali chicken sets, one Thakali mutton set, and some naan. Everything was cooked perfectly. I've been to places where the meat has a really strong tomato taste, but here it was seasoned just right and had that perfect chewy texture I love. The service was awesome from start to finish, and the interior was super nice too. I'm not from SF, but I'm so happy I got to try this new Nepali restaurant, definitely recommend checking it out!

I had a lunch at this place . My brother recommended it . I was expecting good food however food was mediocre and service was poor . I was furious when I got my Kabuli Naan. Per described in menu , there was no dried cherries, I didn't find any nuts , I can tell they messed up my order and gave me wrong naan but when I mention it to the server , she said this is their another version of Kabuli naan , with cheese , bell pepper , onion, and curry masala inside . She completely denied the Oder being wrong . I had ordered plain fries for my daughter and got her fries with chat masala power on top . Who puts chat masala on fires and why it wasn't mentioned in menu ? When I mentioned it to server , she made another fires without chat masala power ( which should be like that in first place) but guess what they charged for both fires . My daughter didn't even touch that fires . My sister in law had ordered fish curry and got fish tikka masala . When she told she got wrong order , server said this how their fish curry is made . And we told her we don't want that fish curry with tikka sauce . She took it back and got new fish curry without tikka sauce . I had never encountered this kind of service in my life . I won't recommend. read more

The waitperson was nice, everything else was a fail. Ordered Chana masala, mixed vegi curry, and tandoori chicken. The two vegi dishes were absolutely inedible, the saltiest food we've ever been served. The waitress offered for them to remake those dishes, to which we foolishly agreed. We are convinced instead of making a fresh order they watered down the original dishes. They could have been honest and said the sauces are pre made so you're going to get the same food. I paid for the food, $49, having eaten only two tablespoons. There was no one there to responsibly talk with us. Instead, the young lady just repeatedly apologized. We were not offered to comp the food we couldn't eat. We took the chicken home. A terrible experience. read more

After many years of living in Nepal, I can honestly say this is some of the VERY BEST authentic Nepali food I've found in San Francisco.

Absolutely incredible Nepalese food and hospitality! I came here with my brother and sister-in-law, who were visiting all the way from Phoenix, and we were so impressed! They ordered the chicken choila, chicken chili momo, chicken sekuwa set, and badel chili -- every single dish was packed with authentic flavor and cooked to perfection. They even said this was easily the best Nepalese restaurant they've ever been to -- and I couldn't agree more! I made a special request for a meal without onion and garlic, and the owner was incredibly kind and accommodating. They went out of their way to prepare a delicious cauliflower curry just for me -- simple, wholesome, and absolutely full of flavor. It's rare to find that level of care and attention. The warmth of the staff, the authenticity of the food, and the heart they put into every dish truly made this a memorable experience. If you love real Nepali food -- or just great food in general -- Sagarmatha Restaurant is a must-visit! read more

5/5 for the food! I came across Sagarmatha a week or so ago and was super excited to see a new Nepalese/Indian restaurant open up in the neighborhood. I ordered in Chicken Curry and Tandoori chicken and both were delicious - some of the best preparations I have had in the city at this price point. Would love to go in there and experience the service and ambiance next. For now, super happy with the quality and taste of the food. read more
