    Partially consumed Momo and rice bowl
    Tony P.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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. (Posting Picture as Yelp won't allow video)

    Woh and Hakku Chuala
    Robert W.

    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!

    Nice spot with good food and friendly service! They have a creative menu with Lassi, Chai, Momos, and customizable bowls. We got the vegan momos which were pretty good and came with great sauces. Cannot wait to go back and try the other dishes!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    TL;DR: Spent $16 on bland chicken korma, very dissapointed…read more I stopped into this place to pick up food since Om India (great restaurant btw) was closed. I came in during dinner hours and ordered chicken korma with garlic naan bread. Red flag: the korma wasn't orange like I was used to seeing from places that do it MUCH better, but I kept an open mind anyways. Gave it a try and my suspicion was confirmed, it was really bland. They also didn't trim some of the sinew, so I got some of that in there. The bread was probably the highlight of the meal, but even still, pretty bland and a lot more toasted than I've seen it normally be. I haven't tried any of their other options or been there during buffet hours, but I figure that if the food is that bland when it's fresh, it's probably not much better during buffet hours. The people there were very nice and the establishment looked interesting, but it's a shame that the food didn't hold up; needless to say, I won't be coming back unless they improve their seasoning... I can get much better food for a little over half the price elsewhere

The food was DELICIOUS- I got the chana masala, garlic naan, and a mango lassi, all of which were some of the best I've ever had, and my dining companion got the chicken chow mein, which they loved and said was elevated by the two types of onions used and the lime on top. We both are wusses and only got the spice level of two- I personally would go up to a three or four next time, and my dining partner said that they would stay at a two (their spice tolerance is lower than mine). With tip, we paid around $42, which we felt was very reasonable for the amount and quality of the food. The restaurant was very empty on for a Saturday night- when we walked in around 6:00 PM, there was a couple that was packing up to leave, and a few delivery drivers came in to collect orders, but for the most part, it was just us, which needs to be rectified, as Hot N Spicy Restaurant and Bar is truly fantastic. The only thing we could think of was that the location wasn't optimal for attracting attention from potential customers passing by (it's in a strip mall, sandwiched between a Goodwill and a Habitat for Humanity ReStore), and people just don't know it's there? Overall, we can't wait to come back, and we're excited to tell all of our family and friends about this hidden gem so that they'll come try it too!

They had no music and these two loud beeps that happened constantly. The server was sick and sneezing and sniffing. The food took forever. Plates and silverware were wet; a puddle in the plate.
