We loved our meal and had a great evening. Every single item had great flavor and was perfectly prepared. Our waiter John did a phenomenal job and we left very happy with this experience. Would highly recommend the crispy rice and the fried steamed buns. For proteins, the ribeye was exceptional. The horseradish sauce was strong enough to add flavor while being subtle enough to enhance the beef.

This place is totally unassuming, tucked into a strip mall, humble table settings…do not let this deter you. This place serves love on a plate. The wine glasses are sparkling. The dishes are bright, richly spiced, beautifully plated— both classic and contemporary Indian and Nepalese fare. The service was familial—many hands and watchful eyes made sure we were cared for—often providing us with little extras, a special mango-yogurt beverage for my son, some delicate peppered crisps. The samosas are giant delicate mountains, the MoMo are both crisp and tender… and that was just the beginning.
