Writing this review as I eat my fried chicken momos and wow!! Sooo good and friendly staff. I did pick up, but it’s a nice and cozy spot I’d enjoy to eat in at. I definitely have to come back to try the rest of the menu.

I am so happy this cafe opened up in the neighborhood. The food is really comforting and the people are so warm and friendly. It’s a nice place to bring friends and family or if you just want a calm place to have a good meal.

This place is as authentic as it gets! We tried the chicken thali and breakfast set. Everything was amazing and we were pleasantly surprised to see shosum, a himalayan delicacy that we're rarely seen in Nepalese/ Tibetan restaurants in the area. The staff were also super sweet and very helpful. I highly recommend you visit this cafe if you're in the area!🩷

Me n my wife visited this restaurant after she saw it in tiktok. Truly delicious n not fused like many restaurants, but authentic to core. We tried DHIDO that was truly amazing ( btw those who doesn't know what it is, you should try it n you won't have to eat the whole day due to its nutrients n energy giving quality), MOMO was juicy without msg or any additives and reminded me of my moms, just pure flavor without any unnecessary glitter. Chowmein was the same - just too good!<br><br>Service: Fast n fresh. Best part, you'll be served by the owner himself. Humble, respectful, simple n professional. Open for any suggestions.<br><br>Ambience: perfect atmosphere where you can dine authentic yummilicious food with your loved ones yet enjoy your conversations without being hijacked with loud music.<br><br>Price: Highly reasonable compared to other places around WITHOUT compromising on its delish. Btw when asked, owner told us "Being a Buddhist, we have to be mindful of today's situation where everyone is effected economically, job losses, unemployment etc. So we welcome all with the reasonable pricing, taste authentic Himalayan cuisine and leave feeling loved without hurting your wallet. He also said he is aware that students don't have that lavish wad of $ like professionals, so he feels it to keep price reachable for them as well.<br><br>Highly recommended to you all. And definitely will go again.

Absolutely love the customer service here and the food was so simple yet amazing. It tasted very fresh and healthy which is hard to find in restaurants. For someone who usually doesn’t cook at home and wants to eat out but with homemade taste, this is the place to go for. Will be back definitely.

I recently tried this new restaurant near my home, and it was such a great experience! I ordered momo and chowmein, and both were delicious — the chowmein especially tasted just like the ones back home in Nepal. The flavors were authentic, perfectly cooked, and full of that comforting Nepali touch.<br>The service was 10/10 — super friendly and fast! Plus, the prices are very affordable, which makes it even better. The place feels cozy and welcoming, perfect for hanging out with friends or grabbing a quick bite.<br>Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving real Nepali food. Definitely coming back again! 🙌
