★★★★★ 5.0 Tamanna Syed · Dec 2025

I feel this is an underrated restaurant cafe. The staff are very friendly and kind, especially the front of house female staff worker. They are serving classic South Asian cuisine and have a great location and space! I got the makhani and momos. Would recommend.

★★★★★ 5.0 Erin Silcox · Apr 2025

We loved our food so much, we went so far as to say it was the best Nepalese food we have ever had. I love Indian and Nepalese food but this was another level. The space was clean and inviting with beautiful paintings of mountains and porters. We ordered medium spice and got exactly what we expected for heat. Mango lassi helped to cool the tongue. I had the makhani chicken, husband had the goat biryani, and we had two ridiculously good apps I had never had before. A chaat as well as a momo finished with a chili sauce. Could not recommend enough. Thanks to the friendly and humble server.

I have been eating at this cafe frequently. I love the no-frill atmosphere with some awesome food. I love their steamed momos, chowmein. Also the chicken tikka masala, naans and the mango lassis are yum. It's simple food without the fuss and a local go to for a good quick meal. The serving staff is also very courteous and kind.

first thing i ordered were momo (nepalese dumplings) and they were too doughy and didn't taste fresh. Couldn't eat after second bite and left the place. and yeah, they don't give you wifi passwords as well lol. Although they have 3 different wifi routers. but that server lady was super kind enough to offer me using her hotspot !

★★★★★ 5.0 Melissa Magario · Dec 2024

We were visiting from out of town and couldn't find parking at another restaurant, so we decided to give this place a try, and we are so glad we did! The food was exceptionally delicious, the staff was friendly and helpful, answering all of our questions, and we loved the cozy atmosphere. During our dinner, we saw 6 or 7 people come in to pick up orders to go. The locals know! Don't pass up this gem of a restaurant.
