My husband got the chicken platter. It has maybe 5 different flavors of chicken, and each was a meal in itself. Our son had the chicken kabob, flavorful and not dry.

The chicken saagwala was outstanding. We also had lamb vindaloo, garlic naan, chicken tandoori, plus some appetizers I've never seen before. It was all tasty and we didn't have a single bad item. We will absolutely be back to try more of the menu.

This is my second time ordering from this restaurant. The first time,I didn't take any photos, but…read morethis time,I made sure to capture everything. First off the packaging was neat and clean,with each item carefully packed.As I opened each container, steam rose up,carrying the deep,rich aroma of the spices and seasonings-it was enough to make my mouth water before I even took bite. Now,let me share what I ordered. PLAIN NANA,soft fresh and flavorful evenon it's own. Sometimes simple is best! CHICKEN MOMO & DIPPING SAUCE, the dumplings were just the right size,filled generously with juicy chicken.The dipping sauce was smooth and full of flavor, without being too spicy. Perfect for someone like me who prefers milder heat. I should've ordered more sauce, thought! Next time,I won't forget. CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA,the portion size was just right,and the sauce had a slight kick of spice,but nothing overwhelming. It wasn't too thick or heavy - it costed my rice perfectly without overpowering it.YES! I love it on my rice and I have to say the rice was fluffy and we'll cooked,making each bit even more enjoyable. Everything was delicious, and I'll definitely be ordering again. If you haven't tired this spot yet, I highly recommend it.

Since the first visit, I honed in on the Momos which have been consistently superb - for the current visit I decided to venture out and sample their chicken Lo Mein. As the meal was made-to-order, it took a bit for the order to come out - but it was worth the wait. I chose mild, but there definitely was a bit of kick (just enough), so if you're timid re: spices - keep that in mind. The seem to do a rollicking take-out business, which is good. If you want to sample some authentic South Asian cuisine - give this place a try!

There are moments in life when you set out in search of dinner and instead discover a small,…read morebenevolent corner of the universe. My wife, acting as both navigator and oracle, found Norbu after I asked for something within walking distance of our hotel. Four Himalayan restaurants, all within a short stroll, which felt statistically suspicious in the heart of Amish country. We chose Norbu because it had the best reviews and, more importantly, because it offered Nepalese and Bhutanese dishes, which none of us had ever tried. We are a family that tries to make it a point to say yes to the unknown. Finding it is part of the adventure. Norbu is tucked along North Christian Street, though calling it a street feels optimistic at best. It is more of a very committed alley. The restaurant sits inside an office building with a few brave parking spaces placed carefully on postage stamp sized lot out front. Had we been driving, I am certain we would have missed it and continued on, poorer for the experience. Fortunately, we were on foot and arrived intact. Inside, the place was alive at 7 PM. There were low tables with stools that suggested a more traditional way of dining, and a couple of unoccupied standard tables for those of us still learning. We took one of the latter and were seated quickly. We began with momo, a dish that seems like could quietly solve many of the world's problems if placed on the right tables. Soft, hand folded dumplings, steamed and served with a savory chutney. We ordered the "Mix It All" option, which gave us vegetable, beef, and chicken. Each had its own personality, its own quiet argument for why it should be your favorite. My older son ordered the Sweet N Sticky Tofu, which was the most familiar thing we ate all night. It tasted like a thoughtful conversation between General Tso and sesame tofu. Very good, very well executed, just less novel. I had the Pak Sha Datsi, the national dish of Bhutan, which I did not know until I read it on the menu and our server filled in the missing information with patience and enthusiasm. Norbu itself, we learned, is rooted in Himalayan traditions and a desire to share the food and culture of Nepal and Bhutan with a wider audience, which feels like a noble use of time. The dish arrived as a gently spiced stew with pork and a blend of aged and smoked cheeses. It was creamy, delicate, and somehow grew more interesting with every bite. It did not resemble anything I had eaten before, which is a rare and welcome thing as I grow ever older. My wife and younger son both ordered the Nepali Thali, a kind of edible symphony made up of curry, lentils, vegetables, chutneys, pickles, and a dessert pudding. My wife chose the fish curry, which was tender and lightly flavored. My son chose the chicken curry, which quietly became the star of the table. It had a familiar warmth, something like Indian curry, but with its own distinct voice. The accompanying mustard greens, curried potatoes, and a simple mix of green beans, corn, and carrots, were so flavorful that we found ourselves marveling at them like tourists at a natural wonder. Service was excellent. Our waitress guided us through the menu, made thoughtful suggestions, and shared a bit of the restaurant's story. By the end of the meal, we felt not just fed, but informed. Our only failure was not saving room for dessert. There was a chai flavored cashew cheesecake that sounded like it might change a person's outlook on life. We will have to return to test this theory. Norbu is the kind of place you hope to find and rarely do. It is hidden, a little hard to reach, and entirely worth the effort. Five stars, because sometimes you find something amazing and new, and that reminds you that the world is still full of good surprises.

We also got a creamy chicken dish and an okra (bhindi) dish. Both were very good. The service was exemplary--there was a team of four or five dedicated staff who rotated through with dishes and takeaways. Oh! I almost forgot the garlic naan--some of the best I have had.
