    Great food and generous portions. Wonderful mix of spices and the food is very filling while not making you feel awful. Tastes fresh and is healthy, and honestly can get just a Dal-Bhat and make two meals out of that! Also, have to say we love the Gurkha beer too - goes great with the meal.

    I ordered the steamed chicken momos and chilly chicken momos and both the dishes were delicious. The momo chutney is amazing.

    Thank God for friends! This lovely little place suggested by a friend turned out to be my new happy place. Small, cozy space with familiar Indian kitchen scents wafting in from the busy kitchen. The staff is very warm and friendly. They have great suggestions as well! The dumplings were a great success for us but the honey lemon tea, in particular, makes it my happy place.
