    4/13/23- ordering a collection of goodness here with no requirement to order a minimum of 1 full meal per person. Several photos of the inside. More to come. Good from Nepal. They have a large 5 feet tall by 10 foot painting in the wall. Looks great. Total of 5 stars. Very customer service. Naan bread was good as well. Would suggest coming here for the good food and service. It's 1:30pm and packed in here which is a great sign as well. See the business card for location as well. Best

    Best Indian food I've ever had. It's a bit small inside so you might be close to the other tables but it's worth it. We got there right at 5pm and got seated right away.

    Our dinner order!

    Yum! This is a must if you're in Dublin. The food was amazing and the staff were wonderful and attentive. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu it's all delicious. Make sure to try the tiger beer with your dinner!

    The food was delicious but the service was neglectful and sometimes unfriendly. Presumably they were busy and understaffed. Maybe get it as takeout/takeaway.

    Momos

    We got to Diwali just in time. Got seated right away and the server was great. Then boom, the place was full, but the service was still great. The momos were so delicious. I could have eaten three more servings. My lamb dish was delicious too. I'll definitely eat here again

    I came here on a Friday night with some coworkers. The owner told us it would be a 15 minute wait but we ended up waiting outside for about 45 minutes. It's quite cold in Dublin so I was not pleased at all. The restaurant is also quite small. We were very cramped and basically encroaching on the next table. Oops! The staff is pretty nice. I guess they knew we were waiting for so long so we did get some free food and flaming shots out of the whole experience. I got one of the korma dishes. It was not bad! It was a bit sweeter than I expected (probably because they added rose water?) and it was a bright yellow. I would eat it again though. I probably wouldn't wait over 30 minutes next time though.

    We had onion bhaji and veggie samosas to start, then two spicy Nepalese lamb curries with mushroom rice and naan bread for mains.

    Awesome Nepalese Indian food! Staff great food excellent! Go for the experience and don't forget to…read moretop off with Irish coffees!

    I've been to Kathmandu Nepalese Restaurant a number of times in the past and was glad to read…read morerecently that they had reopened their doors after been closed for a number of weeks. Myself the wife, sister-in-law and a close friend headed down for a meal last Friday night. As always the reception we received was warm and very welcoming, the centrally located fire was lit and there was nice traditional Nepalese music playing quietly in the background. After been shown to our table we chose a lovely bottle of lebanese wine and we were served a large basket of popidoms with a selection of three dips. Starters arrived promptly, I chose the tandoori prawns and my wife chose the always good Mo,Mo's. For mains I went for the Sherpa Chili Karakura (chicken) These were to die for, utterly delicious and the herbs and spices so fresh, I am just amazed that a piece of chicken could taste so good. We didn't have room for deserts, but after asking for the bill the owner came down to our table with complimentary glasses of wine for each of us. As I had 'liked' the Kathmandu Facebook page we received 35% discount off the bill total, (offer till the end of Nov 2012) the bill came to €97 for four which included the wine - at €27 the most expensive on the list. We actually felt embarrassed with such a low price for such lovely food so we all chipped in and left a nice tip for the restaurant staff. As we live locally and have eaten in pretty much all the local restaurants in the area Kathmandu in my opinion is the best eatery in the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown area, which is high well deserved praise.

    Honestly, it was just an average experience--and I don't think I fall into their target audience…read more The food felt quite bland and not up to the mark. Service was slow throughout. It took around 20 minutes just to get the table cleared, another 10 minutes before someone came to take our order, and then about 25 minutes for the food to arrive--even though it wasn't a busy time. We ordered bhuna lamb, rice, and naan. The bhuna lamb was disappointing; instead of the expected rich, dark brown gravy, it tasted more like a butter chicken-style gravy. The naan was slightly hard and didn't seem properly cooked. Even the complimentary papad was stale and soft. The ambience was just okay, and the service... well, best not to say much. Overall: 3/5 (and that's being generous).

    Kathmandu was a okay Indian restaurant. They started off the meal with free papads that came with…read morethree dipping sauces. The tomato one was my favorite because it was sweet and a little spicy. We got the onion bhagi and it was nicely battered and elegantly presented with the chutney partially displayed. The lamb vindaloo was spicy with lots of peppers and the aloo kali barely had any cauliflower in it - both very saucy. I suggest getting rice because the dishes did not come with them. The service was quick and polite, they asked if we were ready for our mains before cleaning up our apps. The restaurant itself was beautiful decorated with nice wall fixtures and paintings.

    Delivery on time : )…read more Chicken tikka (Succulent breast of chicken, marinated for at least 12 hours in garam masala, lemon juice, ginger, garlic paste and natural yogurt. Skewered and baked in the tandoor) It was really tender and the marinade was delicious. VERY GOOD : ) Lamb Shahjehani (Mild and Creamy) The lamb was a bit hard..it will be cooked perfectly next time..hopefully ; ) I will order it again as the sauce was gorgeous. A rich, creamy lamb dish with ground almonds, pistachios, saffron, cardamom and apricots, originating in the royal kitchen of the emperor Shah Jehan. Veggie Momos A party snack from the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal, Chopped scallions, bean sprouts, peppers, cabbage, carrots and other seasonal vegetables flavoured with ginger and soya, encased in crisp pastry parcels, served with a tripura pineapple and crushed chilli preserve. Not a big fan...it was a bit tasteless to compare with the other dishes. However, the preserves were good Seekh Kebab : If you like spicy food..go for it as it is mega spicy Poppadom as a wide menu..I am sure there are other tasty dishes on it : )
