Highly delicious! This is sort of a Nepali version of a chipotle. You choose what proteins you want as well as what comes with it and they serve it up to you in a bowl. It was so delicious! Really good with spices and flavor. You can eat inside or they have seating outside as well. Very comfortable outside and it's almost like an escape. Staff is also very friendly. Definitely looking forward to trying more options next time! read more

I visited Nepal Restaurant with my son to try something different. The restaurant is small and has a cozy, casual atmosphere. While the food was well-prepared and you could tell it was made with care, the Nepalese and vegan-style cuisine just wasn't my personal preference. I'm more of a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy, so the flavors weren't really what I typically enjoy. One thing I didn't care for was that after finishing our meal, customers are expected to take their own plates and dishes to a bin in the back of the restaurant. I know some people don't mind that, but it's not something I personally expect when dining out. Overall, if you're looking for authentic Nepalese food or enjoy vegan-friendly options, this restaurant is worth trying. It simply wasn't the right fit for my personal tastes, but others who enjoy this style of cuisine may have a much different experience. This review gives credit where it's due while making it clear that your opinion is based on your personal preferences rather than the quality of the restaurant. read more

Love it here. The momos were about just as great as the ones I enjoyed in Nepal, I couldn't find anywhere that made them as authentic! Also, love the ambiance. Sit outside in the back, it's a vibe. You can get steamed or fried read more

Bridges Nepali Cuisine - Northside - Chicken and veggie momo - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I have been to Bridges several times since my initial review, and only love it more each time. Upon my most recent visit, I tried some of their new menu items: goat curry, flatbread, and milky chai. Boy am I glad I did as they are now my favorites! The goat curry had insane flavor and is a great discovery as we move into cooler weather. The flatbread was warm and soft and paired well with the curry. The milky chai looks like a Nepali chai Frappuccino. I already prefer Nepali Chai to regular chai as it is less sweet and has a bolder flavor profile. It was honestly perfect in this drinkable dessert form. I was nervous. It would be too sweet, but it had a great balance as always the staff was friendly. read more

We ordered takeout from Bridges after hearing good things and it met our high expectations!! Yum. Even in takeout form (not as warm and in styrofoam) it was still delicious. My partner and I shared the veg momos. Was not expecting them to be greenish but what a beautiful color and they were sooo tasty! We loved the sauces that came with; one is sort of like a sweet and sour sauce and one is spicy . I ordered the veg chow mein which was good and had a nice portion size... I saved half for leftovers and it heated up real nicely too. My partner got the meat bowl which didn't look like much all together in the bowl but he assured me it tasted amazing and is one of his favorite things to order in the city. It was also a huge portion size but no leftovers for him I'm curious to stop into a physical location and experience the ambiance of the restaurant. If the takeout was that good, the inside experience must be even better! read more

The food chow mein was delicious with a Smokey char. The pork and chicken momo selection was spot on. Can't wait to go back again!

Always amazing. Came on a Saturday around 2pm with my family. It was busy but nothing crazy and we were served quickly. I always order momo (pan seared is the best) and this time I also got samosa and a medium chai. Flavors are always on point. If I lived in Cincy? I would be here every week. But in my case, I bought some frozen lentil soup and momo (sauce included) to take home for my next craving. read more

I've had the Vegan momos, samosas and chai in the past, all were very good. This time I tried the mushroom/tofu woh. Tasty but probably better fresh & not steamed in the to-go box. Pro-tip - prices are at least $1 cheaper in person than through their online order system. read more

Service excellent. I actually went in to buy gift card for a friend that loves Bridges. I ended up getting food because the smell captures you. I had Chicken Tikka. I like the combination of the bowl, rice, vegetables, beans and the chicken. I did get a sauce as well and cilantro. I found the meal to be less flavored than I am used to. My granddaughter loves Chicken Tikka so we eat it often. I added salt free chicken bouillon for a boost. read more

My boss and I had lunch here today and it was absolutely wonderful. We had their Momo (Nepalese dumplings), a rice bowl and the mini samosas. All of the food was very good with a nice level of spice. My boss is vegetarian so we got all vegan options and they were great! I can highly recommend a visit. If I was going to be there longer I would have returned to try their other dishes. read more

Bridges Nepali Cuisine - Northside - Partially consumed Momo and rice bowl - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

A great find in Cincinnati. It was the first time we had Nepali cuisine. We enjoyed the lentil pancake with mushrooms and a side of curried vegetables. The sauce added to the fullness of flavor. The texture reminded me of a potato pancake. We were happy with this! The pan-seared vegan momos had shredded cabbage and other veggies inside. The spicy cilantro dipping sauce that came with it was the best part. It was a fresh flavor and not too spicy. The samosa filling was more of a veggie mash consistency and a nice complement to the crunchy exterior coating. There is seating inside (front and back) although it's a bit cramped. The employees were friendly and the food came out in the timeframe promised. There is street parking and for a holiday weekday, it was easy to find. read more

I had been wanting to come here for a while, so my hubby and I went a while back on a weekend excursion pre-parenthood. I wanted to try their momos and they did not disappoint! Here is what we got: Chicken Momo, a Nepalese style dumpling 2 meat bowls, each come with up to 3 different items Strawberry banana lassi By far my favorite item was the chicken momos, and I think Nick felt the same. I could eat those every day and not get sick of them. So delicious! For our meat bowls, between both of us we tried: Chicken tikka masala Hakku chuala Pork chili Mixed lentils I think I like the hakku chuala best - a cold chicken salad of sorts with lots and lots of ginger. I can't wait to go back and eat my weight in momos! Someone send them to me when I'm on maternity leave please! read more

403. One word: momos. Think steamed dumplings, Nepalese style. It was my first time trying them and I loved it. Also got the samosa. The momos overshadowed the samosa for me. Lots of filling though. I didn't get the rice bowl but that's another great option. You get to pick your protein, vegetables, and rice which is nice if you're looking to customize your meal. If you haven't had Nepalese food, start here. read more

First time trying Nepali food. The staff is very friendly and gave us recommendations when we were deciding the food. MOMO $10 / 10 dumplings - We ordered half Veg half chicken. I love the chicken MoMo more. They are very juicy! They also came with two different sauce. One is mild and one is spicy. Samosa $4 / 1 piece - We ordered the chicken Samosa. The bread is not too doughy and they has a lot of filling in it! They also came with a sweet sour sauce Rice bowl $14 - We ordered a rice bowl with Hakku Chuala and Pork chilli with Yellow peas sauce. They Hakku Chuala served cold and the staff recommended us to pick a hot topping so we picked the pork chili. Mango Lassi $6 - It's a yogurt drink. I tried the Mango favour and it's pretty good. read more

Good food, nice staff, but I saw a Rat here after hours so I cannot recommend it in good faith. | Rating 2/10 Not going to post a lengthy review but eat here at your own risk. The food is good, the staff is nice, the place looks great, but I have video evidence of a rat in the dining area after hours. Not one to drag a restaurant but that combined with their notes from before about health inspection issues lead me to feel its not safe to eat here.

This is a small family-owned restaurant with amazing food! Love the veggie momos. I can't wait to come back!

I tried Bridges Nepali Cuisine over this last summer (2022) on a trip to Cincinnati. I saw it had amazing reviews and I love Nepali food so I was super excited to try it. Bridges is a pretty small venue with some indoor and outdoor seating in the back. It was pretty packed when I went in which was a pretty good sign. We went up to the front to order and had it for dining in. Ordering was super confusing and I still can't figure out why. I ordered chicken momos and woh which are two of their most popular dishes and the person I was ordering from seemed super confused which then also confused me. It took a really long time, but then it finally came out. The momos were the best part of the meal, they were fresh, soft, and the filling was super flavorful. Everyone shared them and really loved it. The woh was pretty good as well, it was my first time having it so I don't really have a good benchmark. The portion was incredible massive and even after sharing with all my friends, I still had like half of it left over after we had the momos. Next time, I would probably stick to just the momos and maybe just order a little more of them and try some different fillings out. Cute little restaurant with some good food! read more

Bridges Nepali Cuisine - Northside - Veggie Momo Combo - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I was overcharged for my meal even though I just got the standard meat + veggie combo. I did not order mushrooms, but they consider mushrooms to be a meat (extra $). My daughter and I had 2 build your own rice bowls and 1 large bottle of Smart water and the total was almost $37 with the tip. I was also charged a "dine in fee" of 7.8%, which I'm assuming is because I paid with a card but I'm unsure. Seemed really overpriced considering this is a fast casual place where they expect you to clear your own table. The food was also pretty mediocre. We won't be returning. read more

I have always wanted to try momos, and bridges did not disappoint! They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Two sauces came with it, and both of the flavors were unique. I don't know how to describe it, but it was a good addition to the momos. We also had samosas. They were a lot bigger than the Indian samosas, but I liked that it was crunchy on the outside, and the filling was tasty and soft on the inside. I highly recommend bridges. It's a must-try! read more

Bridges Nepali Cuisine - Northside - Chicken Momo - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This restaurant has a downtown location that is only open on weekdays (and I typically visit Cincinnati on weekends, so it hasn't worked out for me), but this suburban outlet has more generous hours. It promises Nepali cuisine, which certainly resembles more commonly found Indian food but is noticeably different. Many of their items are served in fast casual format, with premade dishes scooped into a bowl in front of you. Being in no rush, I opted to get some stuff cooked. One thing they offered that I had never heard of before was a woh, a lentil based pancake. It pretty much tastes like an utthapam (a South Indian creation) and is crispy and hearty and comes with a variety of filling options and fresh garnishes. My tofu and mushrooms were baked in to the point where you had to think about it to realize they were there. My included side was a more typical black eyed pea, potato, and bamboo shoot curry. I couldn't leave without ordering some momos, which I got steamed to go. They came with some interesting sauces, and the veggie ones were green, which is aesthetically pleasing and also makes life easier because you know what you're getting. And while I must say that service at South Asian restaurants is a dicey business in my experience, there is something in Nepali culture that promotes hospitality, and me and everyone else of the diverse bunch who stopped in got a warm welcome and a walkthrough of the menu. While I would have preferred to eat downtown. It was worth the short drive up here. read more

I stopped by here after the Northside Fourth of July parade --- I was thrilled that they were open on the holiday, as I was starving. I found it to be an interesting fast-food version of Nepali cuisine. It was small and cozy, with a few tables in front and a section in back with some additional tables. You ordered at the counter, from pre-made food you could see in large chafing dishes. You built your own bowl: you chose the type of rice (I was happy they had brown rice), the sauce (I went with the lentils), and then the toppings (I did a mixture of chicken Tikka Masala and Pork Chili for an extra $2.00). There was a long line but thanks to the assembly-line process, it went quickly. I also ordered a mango lassi, and though the taste was spot-on, it took a long time for it to arrive. As for the food, it was good -- very filling, with a little heat to it. In general, a good place to duck in and get a hot healthy bite. read more

I don't understand the hype about this place. It is literally just okay. It is super overpriced for food that isn't all that. The staff is really nice and the dining area in the back is nice but it is just way too expensive and not that great. It is basic food with decent flavor but really nothing special IMO. read more

It is very small but a good neighborhood restaurant. The staff was nice because we could not follow the menu. This is my first time trying Nepali food so I may not be a custom to it, but it was pretty bland. The portions were small. We came for Asian food fest and it seemed a bit overpriced for what you got. The food was decent and it was overall a good new experience. May try it again to support local business. read more

I got lunch here during the week. Service was very quick, and we ate outside on the back patio. The patio was super super cute. It had covered seating with ceiling fans, and they provided bug spray. My only complaint was it vaguely smelled of trash because of the location of the trash cans nearby. It wasn't too bad though. Someone who seems like the owner/manager came and checked on us, which was nice. My food was very flavorful and the portion was surprisingly filling! There was something bitter in the food, though I'm not sure what it was. In general, the food was still very good. I did find a hair in my food but it wasn't a huge deal and I'm fine now days after eating it. read more

Bridges Nepali Cuisine - Northside - Rice bowl with lentils, peas, hakku chuala, mixed veggies, cilantro, mild sauce - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Delicious momo! The momo soup is 100% the way to go, but getting them pan fried gives them a nice crunch. They are similar to a potsticker, but that soup-chef's kiss. I also enjoy their spring rolls which come with a tomato based sweet sauce. The location is the old Melt building and it still looks much the same with the best seating in the outdoor courtyard. The menu in store is a little chaotic and haphazard, so I suggest going to the website to see offerings before stepping up to the counter. They have tons of vegetarian items and the low mein portion is somewhere between 2-3 meals. There are both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Overall, the food is delish, the service is kind, and the space is fine. If you have a large group, consider take away for more comfort. But either way-get that soup. read more

My youngest daughter recommended Bridges for several years now. Fortunately I waited to have my own experience and OH MY was is one pleasant, fulfilling experience. The decor when you walk in almost immediately fills you with Nepali culture. The music, pictures, the herbs filling the air, excellent immersive experience. The ordering process is super quick, pleasant and without delay. The food... ABSOLUTELY excellent. As we speak, I am changing my preferred Asian establishment to Bridges! This review may read as if I have been paid, I have not. Bridges is a sleeper restaurant (at least for me because no one ever recommended Bridges as earnestly as the should've, including my daughter ). Get here and try for yourself! read more

Five stars for food. Took off star for cleanlinessI had to wipe our table because previous people left dirty and there were no other tables. It doesn't look like anyone comes out here to clean. The plastic utensils outside were all dirty. I picked up a spoon and there was dirt... With that said the food had good flavor. The food was ready and served quickly. Nice little spot for quick food. read more

Good selection of items- food was great- service was good snd fast- I'm glad they have multiple locations.

I had a great experience at Bridges in Northside. I ordered a salad bowl with hakku chaula, seasonal veggies and their spiciest versions of sauces and toppings. They were running low on greens, so they supplemented my bowl with other veggies, which was very thoughtful. There are several areas to sit and eat, and it was the perfect spot for a quick afternoon bite. I'm looking forward to going back soon! read more

Bridges Nepali Cuisine - Northside - Salad bowl with hakku chaula and seasonal veggies. Absolutely delicious! - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

It's a small place with super friendly staff. We tried almost of their dishes. Here are my favorites: 1. Hakku Chuala 2. Mixed Veggies 3. Butter Chicken 4. Aloo Johl 5. Pork Chilli 6. Aloo Wala. Get the combination of lentils as well. Both the varieties were very good. The momos had a different flavor (gingery a lot). Veggies were my favorite. The veggie samosa was also exceptional. Fluffy and stuffing had ton of flavor. Don't forget the hot milk tea. It's on the best. The mountaineer tea. Exceptional. On a cold day it is even better. Overall a great place, I would highly recommend a visit. Be prepared to wait as it's a small location. read more

Nepali cuisine is so extremely underrated and definitely deserves the hype! Chicken momo's with the side of grilled chicken masala is absolutely delicious. The momo's are a work of art and truly one of the best I have ever had. The grilled chicken tikka masala is very different from the creamy orange curry often seen at Indian restaurants. Instead the grilled chicken is a unique twist to the classic curry without the heaviness of the cream overpowering the flavors. Will definitely keep coming back! read more

I'm still a little confused on how everything on the menu works, but my husband stopped in to pick up carry-out, and I'm delighted that we finally tried Bridges! Technically, we tried them at the Taste of Cincinnati before, but this time was much better because we got to try momos! The Veggie Momos were delicious. There are several vegetarian options, and I like that this gives us Cincinnatians a nice variation on exotic restaurants. Because the menu items are something a lot of us have never seen before, it would be nice if Bridges offered smaller, tasting options to encourage folks to branch out and try something unfamiliar. read more
