I've been craving Indian food and decided to try this place via delivery through GrubHub. I ordered…read moreshrimp pakora, butter chicken, which came with rice, and garlic naan. The food arrived hot and well packed. The shrimp were very tasty. Not much crispiness, but that is to be expected with delivery. The sauces that came with it were very delicious. I enjoyed the butter chicken. The chicken was perfectly tender and a good amount. The sauce could have used a bit more flavor in my opinion. I did order mild just to see what the baseline spice was, and would definitely go medium or more next time. The sauce was a nice consistency. The rice was well cooked, but no flavor on its own. I have been to some Indian spots in which the rice itself is very aromatic and flavorful with some spices cooked into it; this was more just basic rice. Still good with the butter chicken. The garlic naan was tasty! Overall, this was a decent spot! I'd order again and try a different spice level and some other menu items. Prices were fair for portions in my opinion.

It's not the best Indian I've ever had but it'll do in a pinch. I was crazing papadam and they do that very well. I like the tamarind and mint sauce and the yogurt sauce is standard but yummy. The butter chicken is flavorful and the lamp as well. The naan was okay and the biryani is quite bland. The worst thing for me is how dry the chicken is. Even though all the chicken was covered in sauce, they were somehow very dry. I'm glad I tried Nepal Place but I would try a different place before returning here.

There's a few options to choose from and after trying each one, I think Nepal House has the best prices for the best quality and flavor. We ordered the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and lamb vindaloo. Each came with its own serving of rice and included generous chunks of meat. They didn't just fill up the container with sauce and call it a day, the serving size definitely reflected the price unlike some other places. The lamb vindaloo was full of flavor and spice with soft squares of potatoes. The butter chicken was creamy and comforting with the right spice level. Everything was ready on time and packed with care. I'd love to return to dine in for their lunch buffet since it seems like a great deal.

Tried Akbar for takeout last night for the first time and I've gotta say, of all the Indian spots…read moreon Charles St, this is probably my least favorite. It's not that it was bad necessarily, other places nearby are just better in my opinion. We ordered two chicken tikka masalas, garlic naan, and paneer pakora. I was disappointed to see, upon returning home, that they only gave us one side of rice for two orders of chicken tikka. That seemed a little strange to me especially since each order of chicken tikka was almost $20. The sauce had nice flavor but the chicken was tough and didn't fall apart like others I've had in the past. I would've preferred butter chicken but couldn't find it on their menu - maybe I just overlooked it or they have it listed under another name? The paneer pakora was OK, the breading was super thick and not crispy enough. The mint cilantro chutney it came with was unexpectedly spicy. I can handle my spice but I've just never had green chutney have that much of a kick to it. I didn't try the naan but my boyfriend said he's had better. All together it was $60 which seemed a little steep for what we got. The inside is surprisingly cute though and they do offer a lunch buffet. Would I return? Probably not just given the other options in the area.

It wasn't an extensive offering but it had the classics. Chicken tikka masala, paneer saag,rice, pakora, etc. So it's both vegetarian and non vegetarian friendly.

The buffet was fine, with some dishes better than others, but again the service impressed me--fresh rice and samosas swapped out when I came in. My only complaint is that I wish the chai had actually been hot in the thermos but I came in at the end of the day so can't say I'm surprised. Worth the price and trying once but I think I'll stick with my extra spicy dish orders.

If you're not looking for it, you will not find it. You order through the same bulletproof glass where you can also buy cigarettes, so it's a unique experience. The food though. Wow. It was superb. The navarattan curry and murgh tikka were layered with flavor, the naan was crisp and soft, and the mango chutney was complex and almost jammy. Basically, this place is awesome. You should eat here. Be aware, though, that they cook everything to order and it is gonna take at least 30 minutes. This is a bodega, not a restaurant, so you're gonna have to find something to do while you wait.

I had never tried Kumari in the past so I was excited to say something new and then learned upon sitting down that they offer buffet lunches on the weekends for about $18 all in. The service was really spectacular considering, and the tea was really delightful. Mango Lassi was too sweet. The space is quite large and they have seating on both sides of the restaurant. This is a no-frills restaurant and sometimes you have to grab silverware and napkins yourself but with two people working there and a restaurant full of people I thought the service was great. If you like a buffet, then I would very much recommend this place for you for Indian / Nepalese food.

Came back for a weekend to show my husband around and thought it would be a good idea to check this place out again after so many years. Maybe the chef has changed or maybe my 25 year old had low standards - but the food wasn't good at all. Everything tasted just.. sweet. However, chai is still good and kheer wasn't too bad either.

I was seated promptly on a slow Monday evening, and ordered the mutter paneer and the kheet. The staff were prompt and polite. When my meal arrived I was surprised by the sweeter and more subtle approach to the curry. I an accustomed to bolder tomato and onion based mutter paneer. The entree was by no means lacking flavor, but it was delicate, and was best savored. The kheer followed this example, with a complex profile of flavors that were still easy on the palate. I wish the prices were lower, I'll certainly return for the lunch buffet. I still got my money's worth, and will come again.
