We came on a Friday evening with a large group (8 people) and made a reservation in advance. The service was really great, especially considering our large party.Highly recommend the buffalo and pork jhol momos, they were my favorite dishes of the night. The biryani was also very aromatic and flavorful, and the gobi manchurian was delicious. The goat curry in the dhindo thali was a bit too spicy for me, but still good flavor-wise.I also recommend the chaang, a type of fermented rice drink, which is slightly sweet and goes well with the spicy foods.

Came here with a large group of friends and the restaurant was able to accommodate all of us! We shared the buffalo and pork jhol momos, combo biryani, and the gobi manchurian. Everything was delicious, especially the biryani imo! One friend has a severe dairy allergy and they were able to check the ingredients in everything for us. We also shared a pitcher of the chaang which I wasn't sure I was going to like since I'm not a sake girl but I actually loved it. Was very easy to sip due to it's mild and slightly sweet flavor. And I got the dhindo thali with goat curry which was delicious! Never had dhindo before but it reminded me of fufu. I love trying new things. Goat curry was delicious but the goat pieces weren't as tender as I would have liked.The pickles and veggies were also delicious. The tandoori naan is ok, super thin and not very flavorful - reminds me more of a roti.Prices are a bit high ($27 for my thali) but it's doable if you share a bunch of dishes with friends.Overall I'd come back here.

Nancy and I had eaten here before, many years ago, but this past weekend we can with a Nepali friend to guide us through the menu. We had a pitcher of an alcoholic beverage called cchyang (sp uncertain) which was mild-tasting but strongly alcoholic. We had three appetizers of various degrees of spice, all of it accompanied by beaten rice, which I am pretty sure we have never had before. Then the main dish was a goat curry served with a solid mass of carbohydrate made of ground buckwheat called dhindo, which our friend assured us was very authentic. The goat curry was flavorful, as were many of the sides that came on the platter with it, but the dhindo I could do without.Much more to explore on the menu. I assume we will be backThe place was fairly empty when we arrived at 6 PM but by 7:30 it was packed. Reservation was definitely needed

I'm not a huge fan of Indian food, but I was with a group that likes it so I was up for giving it a try. We ordered a wide range of dishes to share. They were generally pretty good, but in my limited experience with Indian food, I have definitely had better. The ambiance of the restaurant was a little underwhelming, but it was fine. Overall , not a bad experience, but it just isn;t my favorite kind of food.

Decent place, food was good , I think the strength here was to get less of the "indian stuff" and more of the other stuff. The chicken tika was very tomato based ,which some love but the classic indian flavor wasn't there for me! Also, not a lot of chicken. The chicken biryani was an original blend , not the best but interesting enough to say its good, Cozy little spot not a bad place to grab a bite . Service was good .

Delicious Nepalese restaurant in Adams Morgan! I love Nepalese food and try to eat it often; this restaurant lived up to the hype for sure. The momos were a great start with a very hearty filling--they did not taste like a bland veggie dumpling in any way! For entrees, we ordered the thali and the butter chicken. Both came with perfectly cooked chicken in gorgeous sauces.Our service was extremely prompt, which was great since we were in a hurry. And the interior was beautiful and pretty empty too. Definitely come check this restaurant out!

This was my first foray into Nepalese food. Nepalese is similar to Indian cuisine, which makes sense as the countries share a border. We tried the chicken momo dumplings and the Nepalese style curry. The chicken momo was good, though in my mind I would have wanted those more as an appetizer than a main dish. The curry consisted of a choice of protein and then onions in a tomato-based sauce cooked with roasted cumin, coriander, cilantro, and green onion. Since I selected chicken the dish was $19. I would have liked there to be more ingredients than meat and sauce in the curry, but that's not a restaurant-specific opinion. The curry was made-to-order, and the chicken was well cooked. The space is in a fun area and decorated with interesting art and murals. If you're seated in the alcove, you can sit on decorated pillows.

I left feeling full and happy. This place is the real deal. I came here with 2 of my friends and they were both impressed by the food. We ordered 1 appetizer (gobi manchurian) and 2 entrees (paneer masala and veggie jhul momos) which was plenty for us. The vibe of this restaurant is really nice, and service was quick. I usually drink water quickly, and they refilled it every time. There was hand sanitizer on each table, which every restaurant should do. This is how we rated each dish:4.5 - gobi manchurian. This was crispy and a little spicy, but delicious. Highly recommend!3 - paneer masala. This was a bit more plain but a classic. I think this was more of a miss because it's a bit sweeter than we would have preferred. They could've added more vegetables in it, it was just plain paneer. If you want another vegetarian entree with a bit more spice and flavor, I would recommend the eggplant dish instead. 4.5 - jhul momos. I'm not vegetarian but I actually prefer the veg momos over the chicken. I believe the jhul momos had cabbage in it, and my friend and I usually don't like cabbage but this was delicious. 4.5 - garlic naan. Bread could've been softer but I liked the garlic coating. It was crispy, just not as fluffy as it could've been.3.5 - mango lassi. In my opinion, lassi could've been sweeter.Overall, 5/5 restaurant. Second time coming, and hopefully won't be the last.

Our group of 10 called ahead to make a reservation for a Friday night at prime dinner time. The staff was more than happy to accommodate our large group. They even called the morning of to confirm our reservation. When we arrived, we were immediately sat by our server. She brought us menus and took our drink orders. Having to come back multiple times for the children's drink orders. She gave us plenty of time to go over the menu and was patient as we asked questions. Our water cups were never empty. Multiple staff members came by to fill our cups as soon as they got low. Which was frequently, as we had been walking around DC all day. We ordered a variety of food. The appetizers consisted of: Bhatmas Sadeko, Pork Sekuwa, Chatamari, and a bread basket. We agreed that all of them were deleicious. But the stand-out star was the Chatamari.For entrees, the kids got chow mein noodles as their tolerance of spice and new foods was pretty low. They received hefty portions that could have easily been shared by two. The Napalese Chicken Curry was the overall winner, followed by butter chicken, Chicken Tikka, and Tikka Masala. This was the best food we've had so far this trip. We will be coming back anytime we are in DC.At the end, our server brought us to go containers. And then split the bill 4 ways for us. (Which was probably a HUGE inconvenience, but they never made it seem that way.) While we were waiting to pay, the owner came by to refill our waters. He was so kind.
