Zomsa

I didn't have any expectations going into Zomsa, but I left a convert. Zomsa has some amazing flavors and textures, and I can't wait for my next visit. We got everything medium spice, which already had a good kick. The entrees came with rice, so it ended up being more than enough carbs.Amazing, would absolutely get again- Gorkhali kukhura ($19) - This chicken dish was incredible. The chicken was so tender and the sauce was thick and so flavorful. Great, would get again- Fried chicken momo ($13) - Perfectly crunchy on the outside and tasty chicken filling on the inside. - Laccha paratha ($5) - Buttery layered bread, what's not to like?Good, might get again- Chana masala ($17) - Honestly my mouth hadn't fully recovered from the spice in the biryani when eating this, but I thought it was quite flavorful and good.- Shrimp biryani ($19) - This dish had a lot of tomato and spice flavor, but not as many shrimp (maybe 6 total). The shrimp were good, though!Wouldn't get again- Chicken thukpa ($15) - Unfortunately this was pretty bland. It tasted better with spicy sauce, though!We also got the mango lassi ($5) which was pretty standard and was a nice complement to the highly spiced foods. The service was good and the interior of the restaurant is elegant and spacious. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

I've been here twice now and each time the food was delicious. I ordered the same thing both times because it was so good: goat curry with an assortment of other accompaniments. And their version of chai.Yummy pappadams and dipping sauces come as complimentary offerings.hoping to explore more of the menu!

This is a new restaurant in Arlington and this was our first visit. The cuisine is Nepalese/Indian. We live in Boston and came to town to visit family. There were four of us for lunch on a Sunday. We sampled of a variety of dishes: chowmein, sheekh kebab, samos chaat, and steamed Mo-Mo. All were very fresh and delicious. The presentations were artistic.Some of the food was a bit spicy for one of us. If you are sensitive to spicy foods, safer to order 'mild' or ask the waitstaff for recommendations.The staff are very polite, soft spoken, and knowledgeable about the menu. You may get a chance to meet the owner, Prem. He is a warm and kind-hearted soul and a gentleman.

Tried Zomsa today for the first time. Owner & Staff were polite, knowledgeable and friendly. Ambiance was great minus a crying child . The food was sooooo delicious and flavorful.We will be going back soon!

Relatively new restaurant in town. Great food, lovely ambience and kind service. Butter chicken was by far our favorite! Also fried potato appetizer was wonderful. We ate inside but they did have a few outside tables.

No frill in my reviews... people just want to know what's up!Appetizer: Mo-Mo Pork Dumplings - thin dumpling skins and great flavor inside. Simple taste enriched with a more complex sauce that totally complements the dumpling's flavor!Main Dishes: Daal Bhat Nepali Thali with Dry Meat (Buffalo) and unknown name curry with sweet potato and potatoes. Both excellent meals if you want a platter of variety. The spinach was a tad salty but everything else was very flavorful. The dry meat or buffalo had a smokiness to it that made my mouth water after each bite. Drink: Kamasutra - whiskey/bourbon raspberry based cocktail. Tasted like a whiskey sour. Wife doesn't like sweet so she asked for less sweetness and the bartender got it just right!Overall: A winning restaurant in Arlington. So jelly of this town for all the great eats, now a Nepalese/Himalayan resto!! I'll be back with backup of friends to order more delicious meals! Prem, owner/Manager was very hospitable and his staff really cared about our experience. Nicest people providing a meal not to be forgotten!

This was my first time to have Nepali food. It is quite similar to Indian food but has some subtle differences. At least for me, it is more spicy. We had Daal Bhat Nepali Thaali with Sukuti and mixed fried rice. Again this was my first time to try Sukuti (dry Buffalo meat) which is very chewy (Actually I was warned). Next time I will choose some other meat. Mixed fried rice was excellent, and I love it!

Delicious food and very warm friendly people. The tikka masala was delicious. The food was amazing.

Delicious food, nice decor, great and friendly service. My family and I have enjoyed every dish I have tried. The chicken tikka masala is on another level, best I've tasted.

Delicious momo's, chili chicken, naan and poori! Fun cocktails, enjoyed a Falling apart AND a Kamasutra. Extraordinary Chicken Tikka!
