Amazing food! Just got back from India, so my expectations were very low. This was a pleasant surprise, the filter coffee truly took me back to India days. Madras curry is spot on, and I can't believe I m saying this but the sambar is better than most South Indian restaurants in Minneapolis area. Hope they keep up with the quality. Ambiance and service were top quality too. read more

So glad they have expanded their menu to include different protein options! We stopped in for dinner. Large restaurant that was pretty empty when we were there (early dinner, 2 other parties). Service was good and food was good and portions were healthy. We got the butter chicken and Rogan lamb Josh. Butter chicken was classically good, but the lamb was phenomenal. I love spicy, so would probably ask for spicier than their "spicy". read more

Update: Nala's kitchen is an all vegetarian South Indian restaurant. Being a vegetarian I love that of course. We had their Rava Masala Dosa and Masala Dosa, which were delicious! The dosas themselves were perfect, but I did miss the usual tang in the sambhar I've had at other restaurants serving dosas. The sambhar had a milder dal taste rather than thin and tangy. Same with the potato masala, and chutneys, while they were good the spice was more on the mild side. That being said, everything tasted fresh and came out hot. And actually the less spice in the food made everything more light and digestible so that was a plus. Plenty of parking as this is part of strip mall. Service was quick and the servers also have the devices that take your order and your credit card right at the table. They don't need to walk back and forth. Definitely will be back read more

The masala dosa is a winner! Huge crispy lentil crepe, crispy on the edges, a little softer in the middle - just how I like it. It comes with potatoes, sambar, coconut sauce and a light creamy tomato sauce. The flavors were perfect, and mildly spiced so you get just a tingle of flavor without burning your lips. The ambiance is strip mall, chairs piled in the corners, but server Dave is very nice. I will be back for more dosa and to try their other South Indian dishes read more

Very accommodating service, and delicious everything. Broad vegetarian options, and we had butter chicken with naan and a heaping portion of paneer biryani. Definitely recommend! read more

Great service. Our waiter was so nice. Got me water three times without being asked. Food was delish. Great paneer. Yummy naan.

This is my second trip to Nala's. Indians like myself can be finicky. It's especially amusing when you consider how many people come from different parts of India and come to a place like Nala's which emphasizes South Indian foods. Vegetarian foods. My guests today are from Punjab and they have very sophisticated pallettes. The have different expectations than I do. They really enjoy Nala's. The spice level is right for them and the varieties are generally very tasty. Me? I like making Uttapam and Dhosa a bit differently. But that story is for another time... Because it's a story of a Mom who makes some phenomenal South Indian dishes. What did we order? I ordered the vegetable Uttapam with extra onions. Our appetizer was onion somosas. The guests ordered a Paneer Khadai, a mixed Tiffin Platter, and Garlic Naan. Overall it was very good. The Onion Somosas were interesting. Like when you were in college and discovered Philo dough and caramelized onions. That is not how somosas are made. read more

It's ok. Did not like the dipping dishes like the pan cake, very sour some of the accompanying sauces weren't tolerable others were ok. The other dishes had good flavor. Not bad just found I prefer other types of Indian cuisine better. read more

Meat eaters, do not be scared off by the vegetarian menu. I'm an omnivore who can tell you that you won't miss any meat when eating at Nala's. * Summary of restaurant = really solid South Indian cuisine, which is vegetarian. Some no onion / no garlic options for Jains. * Dosas = are very popular and highly recommended as they are crisp and come in a variety. There's the very common Masala Dosa but so many more variations. The sambar (soup) and accompanying chutneys (sauces) round out the dosa dishes. * Also recommended are Dal Tadka and Saag Paneer. * Chai = robust in spices and rich in milk / excellent way to end the meal / or you can take it to go * Service = has been consistently warm & kind * Value = plentiful food for price I've only been here twice but look forward to trying more dishes when I return. read more

Great South Indian cuisine in Plymouth, MN! Nala's Kitchen has an extensive vegetarian/vegan menu and all of the 10 dishes we ordered were excellent. Omnivores do not miss their meat because their tastebuds are transported on a culinary adventure. Clean & welcoming environment, warm service, and truly delicious food.

THIS IS THE BEST SOUTHERN INDIAN FOOD YOU WILL FIND IN THE US. I am not kidding. How does this restaurant have less than five stars? Get it together people, because this restaurant does. Dosa is UNMATCHED. Y'all know how hard it is to find good dosa. And AUTHENTIC southern Indian food! What a dream. We are so fortunate to have this restauraunt here in the Twin Cities. YOU NEED TO COME HERE DURING WEEKEND BUFFET. Unmatched. read more

Visited restaurant couple times, good food. Ordered catering for a party. Food was delivered late, not sure when the food was cooked most of it spoiled after few hours. Jalebi was worst I have ever tasted. Overall very bad experience. The staff smooth talked to win business but no acknowledgement of any of issues. read more
