    Seasoned rice, spicy chicken, masala sauce
    Adelynn M.

    Incredible service. I felt like a friend who they were feeding. Hari and Cava (I hope I spelled it right!) were the kindest and took their time with helping me find out what to eat. And once we got the food, oh my goodness. Wow. It tastes like my dad's homemade food when he spends all day cooking. There were a few moments in the meal when I wanted to cry. So much flavor, so warm, perfect textures of the chicken, the seasoned rice was beyond delicious. And then you get it all on this beautiful colorful plate. Next time, I'm bringing friends and getting their dumplings, which take about 10 min to heat up.

    Tofu, veggie pulao, and Tikka sauce

    Located in a new shopping area, it's easy to drive by thinking stores are still under construction. They have two entrance/exit doors, streetside and parking lot side of a nice new building. Great that there's lots of free parking available! I arrived at 11 a.m. when the restaurant opened. The seats and tables were clean, the floor was spacious, and the decor was welcoming. They were rocking oldies on the musical Playlist at the time :) The customer service is fantastic! The employee behind the counter provided me with samples of the different sauces so I could make a better ordering decision. He also graciously explained the ingredients in the different "base" and proteins available for the curry bowl. I dined in and enjoyed every bite of the tofu veggie pulao with tikka sauce. The spicy tofu had a nice kick to it so I was glad to also try their refreshing almond milk beverage. Yum, that had a hint of saffron and small pieces of pistachio. I appreciate the level of professional conversation from the employee that served me today. He was knowledgeable about all the items they have and he was genuinely happy to serve a delicious meal and beverage. I'll return to try other menu items :)

    food quality: 5/5 service: 5/5 cleanliness: 5/5 value: 5/5 Really great place fast and delicious Indian and Nepalese food! We felt welcomed the moment we walked in - the staff is always so nice. The food is fresh and our favorite item on the menu are the Chicken Momos - don't skip on them! Their curry bowls and appetizers are fantastic as well. Can't wait to go back and keep this in my normal food rotation!

    Friendly Himalayan/Nepali fast food joint in Sandy has numerous combinations of tasty food for a scrumptious meal. You move down the line to construct your plate, customizing your order. Multiple proteins and sauces, plus you can add desserts (ex: gulab jamun) or drinks (ex: mango lassi). This place is locally owned and has very pleasant service. The owner, Kapil, will answer any questions you have and also make insightful suggestions based on your palate. Tip: don't be afraid to ask for samples because you get them. Kapil and staff are very eager to help you find your preferred combination of flavors and spiciness. Tip 2: if you want "momo" (Himalayan dumplings), order them before you go through the line. They take about 10 minutes to make, so you'll have them mostly cooked by the time your party orders and dishes are constructed.

    Rating (maximum points = 5) Value for money: 5 - be sure to check if there is a Groupon deal. Cleanliness: 5 Food Quality: 3 Customer Service: 5 Look and Feel (Ambiance): 4 Thank you, Come Again?: 4 My party, and I were looking for a new place to eat just before an escape room activity. We saw that Groupon offered a deal for Zimbu and so we decided to try it out. The Groupon deal costed $16 for $25 worth of food. https://www.groupon.com/deals/zimbu-nepali-indian-cuisine We went on Halloween night when there was not a lot of customers in the restaurant. By the time we arrived, the food was well overcooked and have been sitting in the warmer stations for quite some time. I could tell that a lot of the meat and paneer was dried out and not very appetizing. Zimbu's serving style reminds me a lot of the restaurant chain called Zao. They offered the option to make custom bowls. First you choose your base of rice or a salad. Second, you choose your protein (options include chicken, pork or paneer). You can always skip any protein if you'd like. Lastly, you get the option to add on vegetables and a choice of sauce. Since it was slow, the staff was kind enough to offer a samples of the different sauce options. Some of the sauce was spicy, some were more on the side of sweet. Tikka Masala Bowl: I ended up choosing rice with a bit of salad mix as my base. Added chicken, veggies and topped it with the classic Tikka Masala sauce. Chicken was dry but the sauce helped bring it back to life and moisten it back up. Curry Dumplings a.k.a Momos: My sister had previously tried out this restaurant and recommended to order the handmade curry dumplings prior to your arrival. Since they are made fresh, you could be waiting about 15 to 20 mins. Not ideal if you're short on time. The fresh dumplings are very tasty and filling. I would recommend everything to try them if you have the time to wait. Overall, I would return to the restaurant to give it a second try. Even though the food wasn't as fresh as I hoped it would be (with the exception of the dumplings - super tasty), the staff was really kind and open to us asking questions. Zimbu provides classic Nepalese and Indian influenced cuisines. There are two locations for Zimbu. One located in downtown City Creek and the other in Sandy. Would you go? Let me know. Follow me for all the Salt City sips and trips.

    The service was great, and the mo:mo tasted just like the authentic flavors from the streets of Kathmandu -- absolutely delicious. I also tried their paneer chilli with the in-house garlic chili sauce, and it was top-notch. The whole atmosphere was cozy and welcoming - definitely a spot I'd recommend!

    Samosa
    Brittani W.

    Very interesting and yummy! My husband introduced me and we shared a bowl and one of my favorite Easten foods, Samosas. We got the flavored rice, tiki masala sauce and coconut curry. They both were similar to Indian but a twist, not the same at all! It was tasty and we'll come back for the recommendation, Momo. The employees were a delight and everything is very clean and modern.

    They have the best mono's and Samosas in Utah. The mono's are made to order and have to wait but well worth the wait.

    That was yummy! Four…read moreof us (three adults and a toddler) went to this place for lunch. They had a great buffet and also gave us fresh naan for the table. I was impressed that they even had pani puri. I haven't seen that in the US outside of Chicago and Berkeley! They even prepped them for us. The sauces were spot on with delicious mint chutney and tamarind sauce. They had hot chai (no spice sadly) and some rose lemonade. I was so happy. Yummm.

    My mom and I went here because it is a part of Saffron Valley group of restaurants and we have…read moreloved the other places we went to. We went at lunch time and were the only people there for the first little while. We opted for the buffet but were dissatisfied with the temp of the food. They had an Indian version of onion rings which were downright cold. And because they were cold the batter on the onions tasted stale and old. They also had 2 other appetizers that were fried and they also were cold, but I don't know what they were. The curries were lukewarm and the rice was warm, but everything turned cold immediately once put on a cold plate. We let the staff know that the food was cold and therefore unappetizing and they were very concerned, which we appreciated. They offered to not charge us for the buffet and to make us something from the menu, but we didn't think that was fair. They then offered to let us get more food from the buffet and to put it in the microwave. By this time it had been a good 30 minutes plus since we had originally got our food and they had immediately turned up the heat on the items as soon as we let them know of the issue. More people came in and when we wandered up to get more food all of the food items were much hotter by then. We enjoyed our second plates much more than the first because the food was hotter. They had a saag vegetable curry that was absolutely amazing! I usually go for the curry with paneer (it was paneer tikka masala this time) but the saag veggie curry was so good I had 2nds of that. They also had an egg biryanis, which I don't eat eggs, but I had some of the rice in the biryanis and I've never had rice like that! It was spicy hot (but not too hot) and had a ton of cinnamon flavor. It was very tasty. I can't say how the eggs would have tasted with all that cinnamon, but the rice was really good! All in all, I would give them a 2nd try because they really wanted to resolve our issue. The waitresses were really nice and concerned that we enjoyed our time there and our food. In the end, we did get hotter food and that was good, but I totally give them knocks on the rating for not having hot food when we got there.
