Royal Nepal Restaurant

We have lived close by for years, finally tried it and loved it! Food was delicious and generously portioned. Staff were super friendly and attentive and made sure everything was being enjoyed. I definitely recommend it and would take friends here when they visit. The menu was extensive and I will be coming back to try some of the other dishes. Give it a shot!

There are a few places in the DMV where you get really great jhol momos and this is one of them. We used to visit this place a lot last year and it’s good to see that they have maintained the taste, quality, and quantity of some dishes because I was kinda letdown by their other dishes. They start you off with some complimentary sel roti with mooli ko achar and trust me — the deep fried sel roti with the tanginess of the radish pickle in mustard sauce just hits the right spot in your palette. We had ordered a plate of chicken jhol momos and they were just delicious. The dough was not too chewy nor thick and the mincemeat stuffing was so flavourful. It was just the right amount of spice and the jhol (gravy) was great — lightly spiced with cumin (I think) — it had that kick of a great gravy

I had an incredible dining experience at Royal Nepal. The Thali set was absolutely delicious — perfectly balanced flavors with generous portions. The highlight was being served with traditional selroti and mula ko achar, which brought back true Nepali homestyle memories. The food was great and the hospitality made it even better. Raj Daju was humble, warm, and genuinely cared about the guests, ensuring everyone felt at home. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Nepali food and heartfelt service. I’ll definitely be coming

Dateline August 27, 2025. My first visit to Royal Nepal and was I ever glad I went. Encouraged to go with my Napali buddy Sujal (in the photos). Arrived about 3 p.m. Had the restaurant to ourselves and I have to tell you I enjoyed everything. The curry chicken was excellent. My rice pudding desert was creamy and tasty. I will go back. Highly recommended. ☆☆☆☆.7 (4.7) stars. Note: I liked the fact that there was a large parking lot and that the noise level in the restaurant was low. You could actually hold a conversation without screaming.

This was my first time in the Washington DC area and my aunt decided to take me here to try Nepal cuisine for the first time. It was absolutely incredible! The atmosphere was relaxing and calm, which was nice after a tiring day. Our server was very kind and attentive to us, I truly felt cared for as a customer. And of course the food was just amazing! The plating of our dishes was so colorful and it tasted great. I loved it and will definitely come back when I visit again!
