The momos can be made multiple ways here, which is something I haven't commonly seen. I got the momos jhol which has the momos sitting in a sauce. I am curious about the tandoori style. I think they were good but I can't quite declare them the best in the area. There's about four small tables in the restaurant. The staff are friendly and provided yogurt with my biryani which is ideal. I can handle spicy food, but I'm not someone with a strong spice tolerance so I got the medium spice level. My friend asked for very mild which they interpreted as nearly flavorless. I can't blame them because it's probably better to be on the safe side with the average American audience. They were nice enough to reheat with some more spices when my friend asked for a little more flavor. The lamb in my biryani was dry but otherwise the biryani was exactly what I was craving.

I went on a Friday night with a couple friends, and we split the vegetarian momos, veg biryani, and saag paneer. Everything was delicious and very well priced, coming out to less than $20 per person for dinner. That said, the restaurant is tiny and somewhat understaffed, so the wait was quite long, and the service was on the slower end. I'd definitely recommend getting a reservation.

Service is good but food is less than average. No flavor in the food. The chicken curry was just a waste of time.. both for me and probably even the chef!

This small place is a hidden gem! Visited here while in trip to Boston, amazed with the authenticity of the food. One must try their lunch thali (potatoes, soybean protein, beaten rice, bhatmas)!!

Great service and tasty food! The momos are quite popular and for good reason- the steamed chicken momos were really flavorful and juicy, paring well with the two chutneys. The samosa chaat is extremely flavorful with a ton of chickpeas and is actually the same size minus rice as our entrees. The chicken curry and the paneer kadhai were pretty standard and not too special (decent spice though). The staff were friendly and welcoming and the cafe is pretty cozy with tons of paintings and decor. I will definitely be back for the momos and to try other items!

Overall pretty good ~ I enjoyed the chicken tikka masala, mango lassi, samosa, and garlic naan. Service was great! The waitress checked on us often and refilled our waters.

Took my first plunge into Himalayan cuisine here! I've always heard about momos, but never had a chance to eat it until coming here. There was a great variety which impressed me. They were definitely a tasty experience, but a few of the tandoori(?) momos were a bit drier than I would have liked. Pricing felt on par with what you'd expect from typical Indian restaurants. The goat curry was especially flavorful and cooked incredibly well. You can really taste a different level of spice and flavor than cooking elsewhere. Another big plus was the very accommodating kitchen staff. They were open to tweaking the spice and rice levels for my party. Definitely recommend this place for an experience into Himalayan cooking!

Awesome spot for Indian food in Cambridge. The gobi manchurian was very delicious and spicy. I highly recommend the tandoori momo as well.
