Good service. The baklava is amazing!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were delighted to discoverWe were delighted to discover this wonderful restaurant more-or-less in our neighborhood. The decor is subtle; the color tones warm and comforting; the sound level such that one may have a normal conversation with one's table mates. Our waiter was warm and welcoming, prepared to answer our questions regarding the menu and to make good recommendations for those of us now familiar with Nepalese/Himalayan cuisine. Among our favorites of the items ordered were: Badam Sadeko, Aloo Tama Bodi, ChickenTikka, and the Raita. It is a restaurant well worth a visit.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was excellent, asThe food was excellent, as always.

However, the quality of the lamb dishes were a bit disappointing this time----somewhat lacking in seasoning for one and a bit dry for the other.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMHaving food labeled gluten-freeHaving food labeled gluten-free was a big plus for our party3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMNice warm pita bread. HummusNice warm pita bread. Hummus is excellent. They made a dish for me not on the menu and it was a good lamb and rice dish. Lamb shish kabab was good. Waiter very friendly and attentive. If you want a quiet ambiance, choose to go there for dinner around 5 pm.3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMOUTSTANDING!Outstanding lunch! We ordered a number of apps and also main dish of lamb over rice with grape leaves. Make sure you order eggplant dishes - they grill the eggplant and it has a wonderfully smokey quality. The food was excellent as was our server. The food is very consistently good here. and I will definitely3/13/2013 12:00:00 AM
