This place had high ratings both on yelp and g-maps so decided to try something new. Ambiance: The atmosphere is cozy with dim lighting and darker painted walls. It's perfect for dates or even catching up with family and friends. Quite peaceful along with some character. Service: The service was just okay. While the staff was polite, it did take a bit too long for the food to come out--about 20 minutes--even though the restaurant was only about 25% full when we placed our order. This is where I dock a star. Food: The food was mostly great! The lamb sizzling platter was a highlight, arriving at the table literally sizzling and smoking, with bold, delicious flavors. The portion exceeded my expectation --four lamb chops, a healthy side of steamed veggies (not just three carrot sticks), and enough noodles to share between two people. However, the chicken skewer was pretty underwhelming. It lacked the same punch of spices and didn't stand out, so I wouldn't order that again. The kids menu chicken wings had more flavor. Maybe I'll come back for takeout, pricing is quite reasonable for the neighborhood and portions.

Such a quaint restaurant, we found parking in a structure about a block away. We made a reservation but there were maybe only two other parties so it wasn't necessary. Unfortunate that they didn't have much business, the food and service is very good! Apart from the traditional momos, we weren't super familiar with Nepali food. So we asked our server for recommendations. We settled on the buff momos, seasonal vegetable curry, goat taas, mushroom choila, and mango lassi. Everything was absolutely delicious and came out with great timing. Nothing was too spicy! The service was phenomenal. We told the waiter that the pickled vegetables that came with the goat taas were really good and he brought out more, telling us that they were made in-house! Absolutely would come back and try their other offerings!

Was excited to try out this new Nepalese restaurant in Palo Alto! There was no wait for a party of 2 on a Saturday night. Overall, the food was delicious and generously portioned for the prices. We got the buffalo momo sizzler, and it was incredibly flavorful and juicy. The noodles and vegetables were an interesting indo-Chinese flavor and very delicious. We also got the non veg dal bhat khana set with chicken, which came with buttermilk and a rice pudding dessert on the plate. Everything tasted very authentic and was very filling!!

Yummy Nepalese restaurant in Palo Alto! Came here on a Thursday evening. It was not too busy so getting a table for 2 was fast. My partner and I decided to get the following: - Momo Sizzler (4/5): This came with chow mein underneath. We got the momo with buffalo inside since we've never had buffalo. It tasted similar to lamb. It was a tad spicy but nothing too bad. Lots of flavor and comes out sizzling hot! - Chicken 8848 (5/5): If there's anything you need to order here, it is this! So creamy and delicious. Chicken is cooked tenderly. - Tawa Paneer Paratha (4/5): I like paneer so we decided to get this as a side. Delicious and a lot thinner than I expected. Paired with the sauce from Chicken 8848, this was good. However, nothing mind blowing and could be passed on it's own unless you want something to pair with another dish. - Asan Indrachowk ko Lassi (4/5): Creamy yogurt drink! Very thick and not too sweet, but provides a refreshing taste. Seemed to be topped with nuts, likely pistachios. Service was good, except for one part, which is the reason why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. Upon ordering, we asked the server if any of the items we ordered contained nuts because my partner is allergic. The server said no. At some point, my partner started to have an allergic reaction, which kind of ruined our dining experience. We discovered it was likely from the yogurt drink, which I realized had small chunks of what looked like pistachio. It would be good practice to include any allergy information on the menu itself, since the description of the drink also did not mention nuts. I would come back again, since I enjoyed the food, but I'll be extra careful with ordering and maybe steer away from any drinks I'm not familiar with.
