Came here for dinner on a Sunday evening to celebrate two birthdays…read more
I made a reservation for a party of 7, but our table wasn't ready when we arrived, and we were seated next to another large group. I noticed two other large tables marked as reserved, so I was unsure why our table wasn't ready. That was a little disappointing.
We ordered waters, drinks, appetizers, and mains. Unfortunately, it took a long time for both the drinks and food to come out, especially since there were only four other tables occupied in the restaurant.
We started with the Paneer Momo (kothey style), Mutton Momo (kothey style), Aloo Chicken Roll, and Kah-Tahr Poleko (grilled jackfruit). I wish there was an explanation of each momo style on the menu, as it would have been helpful to understand the differences.
The paneer momo arrived first and was quickly devoured by the table, it was really good. The grilled jackfruit was something different for me and reminded me of a grilled pineapple/meat-like texture, which was enjoyable. While I don't eat meat, I was told the aloo chicken roll was spicy. The mutton momo was also enjoyed by the table.
For mains, we ordered chow mein, a tandoor platter, two butter chickens, one paneer tikka masala (medium spicy), and more than enough garlic naan.
The butter chicken was enjoyed by the table. The paneer tikka masala was fine, but it was unbelievably sweet from the honey and had no spice at all. I wouldn't order it again. If I were to get it again, I would request butter paneer instead since the sauces were noticeably different.
The paneer tikka masala was also very bright red, and our fingers turned slightly orange/red from the sauce, which made it seem like food coloring was added. That was disappointing.
We were looking forward to the chow mein, but unfortunately, it never came out.
The garlic naan was alright. It was thinner, less fluffy than expected, and slightly chewy.
They did change the song for the birthday celebration and brought out two complimentary ice creams with birthday candles, which was a nice touch.
Overall, since this is a Nepalese restaurant, I would stick with the momos and appetizers. Those were the highlights of the meal.
