Want to travel but no time to take a flight? Come to Zomsa and experience an authentic Nepalese cuisine! It’s our first time here but the owner was really helpful and friendly and recommended a few traditional dishes. They all taste great with rich flavors and made from fresh produce. We can see that the owner was really passionate about the food, and that is a key sign for outstanding restaurants.

Zomsa used to be our go to-place when in the area! But the recent visit left bad taste in all aspects. Looks like the management need to step up their game. For the price, quality and the service, there are many more Nepalese/Himalayan options nearby. Very disappointed with the service ! Didn’t bother to check on the food or water refills. The place was not even busy when we arrived. Food was average at its best. Goat sekuwa was totally different from what we had last time. Wouldn’t even call it sekuwa-pretty much looked like sauted goat curry with nothing but tiny pieces of bones! Laphing and Chatpatey were the only dishes we enjoyed! Jhol of MOMO was good too, MOMO not so much! Overall, a fairly disappointing experience at what used to be one of our favorite restaurants!

I had the Pork Thali and it was absolutely delicious—it instantly reminded me of Nepal and the mountains. The flavors are so authentic, and you can really feel the love in the food since it’s a family-run business. I highly recommend the Chicken Thali, Goat Thali, and Pork Thali. Each one is a complete and satisfying meal with rice, meat, lentil soup, pickle, ghee, and more. I’ve been visiting this restaurant for the past few years, and every time I come here, it feels so good. They also have a bar license, so it’s a great place to enjoy drinks along with food and starters. The Bento Box is one of the best starters here—it comes with meat and sides, and pairs perfectly with drinks. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!
