The staff was so attentive and thoughtful throughout each event, food was some of the best and most authentic I've ever had, and the hall itself was always so clean and well kept. I would recommend this hall, the staff, the owners, ALL of it to anyone looking to host any event. Whether it's a big event like a wedding or smaller like a baby shower (I've been to both at this hall lol), the venue is a perfect size and the event is always treated with intention and care. 10/10!!

I don't recall ever having Nepali cuisine so this was new to me. With Nepal being north of India…read moreand close to Mt Everest, there are similarities to Indian cuisine, with some Chinese influences. We started with their Steamed Chicken Momos. They were large, stuffed with chicken, and very delicious, especially with a spicy dipping sauce! That was soon followed by Dahi Puri, a crispy pastry shell with a savoury filling, topped with creamy yogurt. I've had similar dishes but these were the best versions ever! We also had their Chicken Choyela (served with crispy broken rice), an excellent Chicken Chow Mein, and Paratha flatbread. Additionally, we had a Mutton Thakali Set which is a combo meal with several components, all delicious. We were impressed. Every dish was absolutely delicious, full of flavour, with generous portions. I highly recommend Lumbini Hut! I'll definitely be back! PS - They have a large patio for outdoor dining in the summer, and a banquet hall in the basement for private events. They also have live entertainment on weekends.

The servers are wearing traditional garments and there is beautiful artwork on the walls . Friday - Sunday they even have live music. They have a large space in the restaurant for parties and events. After speaking with the owner, I found the upstairs event space can accommodate 50 patrons and the downstairs hall can host 200! Wow. Now onto the exciting part; The food. We ordered a couple different dishes and shared Dahi Puri Chicken Choyela Chicken Steam Momo's Chicken Chow Mein Thakali Set - Mutton Paratha I'm a huge Dahi Puri lover. This version blew me away... The flavor profile was perfection. ( My friend LOVED this dish as well. ) Next up were the Momo's. They're known for their Momo's. I do prefer a steamed Momo, so we went with steamed chicken. The portion size was quite large and the dipping sauce paired well; they had so much flavor. The next appetizer dish was one I have never had before; Chicken Choyela. I generally don't enjoy crunchy / textured foods but my friend quite enjoyed the puffed rice addition of this dish. The chicken had a unique flavor, unlike anything I've had before. It was solid. Their Chow Mein is another dish that they're known for. I seem to prefer noodles over rice these days. (But, I'm generally disappointed with most places noodles.) These were SUPERB! They had a smoky flavor to them and were a 10/10. I've had Thali but never a Thakali. While similar, they are different; We chose the mutton option. This dish was incredibly tender and bursting with flavors. Dish after dish impressed us. This spot hits all the right notes and is a definite must visit if you're in the area. My friend was so impressed, he's already planning his next visit!

We did have some last minute number changes which was on us, but the venue staff were outwardly rude and hostile about changes. We came to set up Friday and there was no toilet paper in the washroom, and they held another meeting in our decorated space. The DJ booth situation was crazy. The venue rented out a package and did not know how to use it...the package should include specs required for people running their own music. DJ booth is not compatible with windows...they were told they needed a lap top and that was it so there were huge issues with that. The venue people were not well versed in their equipment, as they were unsure how to dim the lights when we asked and they needed to be reminded to turn onthe lighting package that was purchased. Even provided with a schedule staff were still pestering guests and the couple throughout the evening. Unfortunately, toward the end of the evening we were told to shut down as a guest procured outside alcohol. We understand this HOWEVER the man in charge of the venue manhandled the Bride even though we were attempting to clear out. Completely and utterly unprofessional and uncalled for. Lucky you are getting a 2 and that is for the good food and helpful wait staff.

This is a great concept, I couldn't get a reservation in the evening, but I came for lunch and was surprised by the service and food. The domes inside was significantly warmer, they also have a heater and will bring you a heated blanket. Lunch menu includes kids meal with paying adult which is nice. My hubby got gumbo and I got the braised short ribs. Both meal was great, a little on the saltier side. The kids had corn dog and Mac and cheese bites with fries, I also ordered their special hot chocolate for them. The service was great and we all really enjoyed the experience here. This is their second year doing this and you can tell they put a lot of effort into making it look nice with the lights and everything. Great concept!
