Everything was gorgeously flavored, amply portioned, and speedily prepared within a relaxing atmosphere... a simply delectable experience! I popped in here after arriving back in Chicago via the Greyhound, as the bus station is just two blocks away, and I cannot believe I haven't come here sooner. While I mourn for my tragically ignorant younger self, I rejoice for my newly enhanced culinary future! Will you rejoice with me? I ordered the "Indian Delight (Vegetable Samosa), the "Himalayan Sherpa Dumplings (Jhol Momo)", and masala tea. They also provided a complimentary dessert of Gajar ka Halwa. I 11/10 recommend each of those items! You can thank me for the rec by gracing this establishment with your presence, so we may all continue to enjoy, in blissful perpetuity, such a marvelous experience.

The food was so amazing and flavorful. We had the shavale which you don't normally see in the US. The flavors are authentic to Nepali cuisine and they didn't compromise in anything. We got complimentary kheer and it was so good I decided to get one to go! Mango lassi was one of the bests Ive had in a while!

The Johl Momo is yummy. Steamed, not fried with a curry sauce. I also tried pakoda and for a starter, it’s big enough to share. Especially after a plate of momo. I like the butter chicken too but the sauce was a bit heavy. Highly recommend, especially if staying nearby.

This is what it’s all about! Delicious home cooked meals with warm and attentive service. Tried the chicken dumplings and mustange aloo and both were fantastic. The hostess also let me try a shredded carrot dessert that was so flavorful. Give this place a try if you’re in the area!

One of the best Nepali restaurant I have ever eaten at outside Nepal. We drove all the way from Madison to Chicago and found this place by chance. Momos and Nepali thali was authentic and super delicious. Service too good. Mr.Bhim and his colleague really took care of us. This is a small restaurant with a big heart.

The post is not enough to justify how good this place is and the taste. A little unknown but we stumbled upon it while looking for momos. I have eaten my fair share of momos around, but this was the most genuine jhol momos I have ever eate. Intrigued by the Sichuan flavors in it and the authenticity. Even their mustange piro aloo is a great chatpata appetizer. Don't forget to try their rice desert in the end! It was the best I have ever had in my experience of eating a rice kheer too.

The food is so flavorful and authentic here. I love Nepali food and this is the best Nepali restaurant I have tried in the US. Everything from appetizers to chai tasted great. I tried their signature dish chili momos and the staff is so amazing, they served me rice pudding and a side of rice free with it cuz they thought I might find it spicy. Staff is really warm and welcoming. Definitely going to keep going there often.

Tried this place last week on a whim. I love local, ethnic food restaurants, and I was walking by this place and decided to study the menu posted at the entrance. While I was studying the menu, a stranger gave an unsolicited endorsement that the Biryani rice with boneless chicken was the way to go. So, now I gotta try it, right? I decided to give it a try along with garlic Naan, carryout. It was hot outside, and while I was waiting, the woman that took my order offered a glass of water, great hospitality! When I got my food, she mentioned that they included a complimentary rice pudding to try, wow! Got back to the office and unpacked the food. Very generous portion size (the food completely filled the container to the top), and the dish was excellent! A good amount heat (flavor), perfect for me. I like spicy as long as the flavor is still there. I don't like spicy that is only hot. I will definitely be back to dine in. It is a small, intimate place. There is road construction on Canal that is probably not helping this place, so stop in a support a local business!
