    Can’t wait to go back, the food was delicious and the service was exceptional I am still thinking about the cauliflower, crunchy with a tangy spicy sauce. Butter chicken with white meat chicken. Tandoori mushrooms that were perfectly cooked again with great tandoori flavor. We had lamb momo that were perfectly seasoned and had a great texture overall everything we tried was fantastic

    My husband and I stopped by for dinner while staying overnight at the airport hotel. We were greeted so warmly. The service was exceptional. The men who took care of us were both from Napal and knew exactly how to guide us through the menu and explain the dishes. The ambiance is very casual and comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely stop in again when in the area.

    My party of four had a wonderful dinner. We had never been here before and we were eager to try it based on the reviews we read on yelp.  Our meal and experience did not disappoint us at all! We will go back.
