Royal Nepal

My partner and I have been wanting to try Nepalese momos (dumplings) for a very long time. We were also craving Asian curry; the closest restaurant to National Landing that was able to accommodate both was Royal Nepal. The moment you walk in, you feel like you've entered a portal into a restaurant in Nepal with the traditional decor and the aroma of the spices coming from the kitchen. The servers were all so kind. They started us off first with Nepalese bread and pickled radish. The Nepalese bread is made out of rice flour, ghee, and honey - it tasted like a better version of an Auntie Anne's almond pretzel. The pickled radishes were very spiced - if you've ever eaten both home-cooked Indian food and Korean daikon radish, it's like if you mixed the two together (yum!)We ordered a mix of buffalo and wild boar steamed momos and fried yak momos. If you've never tried buffalo, wild boar, or yak, think of buffalo as beef, wild boar as a gamier pork, and yak as grass-fed beef. The momos were seasoned nicely on the inside, and the tomato sauce that went with them complemented the momos nicely. It's definitely all about your own preference, but I loved my steamed I ordered a Chef Special: Yak Curry. It was the most divinely spiced Asian curry I've ever had. On top of that, the presentation was a 10/10 with the garnishes on the serving dish. The yak was so tender, and one of the workers told us how they source their yak meat from grass fed yaks from Colorado. Made me want to support their business even more! Prices are decent, as this is a novelty in the area. We were so full after this hearty lunch, we didn't need to eat dinner. If you're looking for a different style of curry and dumplings, I highly recommend stopping by Royal Nepal - your taste buds will be bursting with excitement!

Excellent momo here and staff was very friendly! Vegetarian and meat options available. The mango lassi is also quite good

This place is fantastic! The servers were very attentive and also made sure I enjoyed everything. They answered every question I had about the food. The Yak chili was my favorite but I loved everything I've ever eaten there.

Love this place. The menu is well-rounded and food quality is great. We usually get takeout but have also enjoyed dining in a couple times. Service is great and it's a nice environment inside.

Our party of 5 had a fantastic dinner this past Sunday evening at Royal Nepal. Everything we got was so delicious and filling, the entire table was satisfied with what we tried. Our server was very nice and there was complementary sel roti (Nepali fried bread) for the table. We ordered a good amount of food and family-styled. It was definitely enough for a group of 5 and we had some leftovers, too.BREAD BASKET - 10This comes with a basket of three different naan: plain, garlic and cheese. Each piece of naan was nice and fluffy. I wasn't able to try the garlic since it quickly got snatched, but the plain met my expectations and the cheese was definitely something new with slight savoriness. I would recommend eating the curries and thali with the naanDUCK FRIED RICE - 9This had cilantro in it, so I stayed away. But our group really liked it and it's one of the most popular dishes on Yelp from this restaurant.CHICKEN SIZZLER - 18This also had cilantro, so I didn't try too much of it. The chow mein and bits of chicken I had with it was definitely very flavorful. Our group enjoyed this dish.YAK CURRY - 20The yak curry was so tender and flavorful. I've never had yak before so this was a great experience. Our entire table enjoyed the rich and hearty flavors of the curry and would definitely recommend this entree.ROYAL THALI - 25This comes with a plate of rice (and a fried egg on top) and a variety of smaller sides such as duck curry, sauteed spinach, black lentils, something else (I forgot) and Royal Nepal Sikarni (whipped Greek Yogurt with lots of spices and nuts, more like a dessert). The duck curry was great and I love duck in general. Even though it was so simple, I kept getting seconds and thirds of the spinach and black lentils -- very hearty and satisfying.ROYAL NEPAL MOMO PLATTER (20 PCS.) - 32Each platter comes with 4 different momos: buffalo, yak, wild boar and lamb. This was perfect because there was 5 of each momo and there were 5 of us! I don't know which momo contained what meat. All I know is that I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The meats were well seasoned and the dumpling wrappers had a nice chew.I am so glad we chose Royal Nepal for dinner. Everyone was happy and had a fantastic time. We did not talk much in the beginning because we focused more on eating than socializing.

I absolutely love this spot for desi food! The flavors are amazing, though the takeout portions could be a bit bigger. I highly recommend the biryani, mutton curry, and definitely don't miss out on the dumplings--they're a must-try!

came here as a group and tried multiple curries. I personally didn't enjoy most of the flavors and spices, but that could just be my palette and personal preference not enjoying Nepalese food. I haven't had it before so that could be the case. I prefer Indian or middle eastern cuisine. I would still recommend you give this place a shot if you like Nepalese food or want to try something new. They had excellent service and always kept our water full. I didn't love the wild boar curry, royal chicken curry, aloo cauliflower curry, or garlic naan (too much minced garlic in it). My girlfriend enjoyed the aloo cauliflower curry though and we all liked the sel roti (complimentary bread) and pickled veggies for the table. The sel roti had a unique dense texture but could have been warmer when it was serve to us. I will say this place had excellent Brussel sprouts though. One of the best brussel sprout side dishes I've ever had.

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Highly recommend to anyone looking to step outside their comfort zone!Ambiance: causal hole in the wall vibe. Not somewhere I'd come for a first date. Restaurant is always clean and food presentation is always on point Food: everything you eat here is simply amazing. Every dish is so full of flavor and spice. I always get their combo platter ($22), great deal to try their main dishes Price: entrees are around $20-$30 but their portion size is huge, usually always leave with left overs Service: very attentive servers, seems like it is family run and that the servers truly care about their food

This was my first time trying Nepalese food and it was a great first experience! Everything tasted awesome and service was really great. I highly recommend checking out Royal Nepal

This place is the best. Amazing food, great service, super cute family run business. Prices are reasonable considering how much food you get.
