It took a while to decide what to order because everything on the extensive menu sounded good. Everything we selected was delicious! We ordered chicken momos with its Nepali tomato sauce, garlic and basil tandoori naan, lamb korma with its wonderful cashew curried sauce, and ginger coconut masala with fish sautéed in an onion, ginger garlic, tomato-curry sauce. These were accompanied with basmati rice. Everything was delicious! The korma and masala dishes were not only full of flavor but were thick and substantial -- not like dishes elsewhere which were more soupy in consistency. And the portions were generous; we had leftovers afterwards to take home for one more meal. Go and try it out for yourself! I'll be returning over and over again.

We ordered 3 curries (Nepalis goat curry, butter chicken, and paneer), tandori chicken and 1 garlic naan, which was over $90 after tax and tips. We went for dinner on a weekend. The inside is dimly lit and felt a bit dirty. It wasn't busy, and there seems to only be one waiter working. She was friendly, and came to check on us a couple times.

The vindaloo was delicious and I got a level 3 out of 5 spice which was perfect! The chicken momos are great and come with an amazing sauce.

Service was amazing, decor is nice and so is the music. I will definitely be back!

Eh...I went here once and it wasn't really anything special…read more The tikka masala and butter chicken weren't anything unique. I felt one of them had too much tomato and not enough cream in flavor. The portions we were given are rather small. The samosas are large, but we only receive like 3 along with the tikka masala, butter chicken, and rice. For the cost...it definitely was not worth it. A lunch buffet restaurant is cheaper and worth my money.

By the time my nose was accustomed to the aromas, there was food in front of me. Combo momos to start (the plain and fried are ok, chili are good, sandheko are amazing. Coconut curry, sandheko aloo (potatoes) and chicken followed - and did I mention the sandheko was amazing? We were in & out in 45 minutes, and timed things well, it really filled up by the time we were done. Parking lot is tiny, so may be a challenge, but we happened into a spot which may or may not have belonged to the neighboring business. Would definitely return....assuming I could find parking.

Very good! I can see this becoming 5 stars in the future…read more The somosa chole (garbanzo beans over a somosa) was great with the spice level on the higher side for restaurants in the Seattle area. It's nice to find somosa chole on the menu here, when it's typically uncommon in the Seattle area and much more common throughout British Columbia. Although $8.99 is on the higher side for this sidedish, it was an acceptable price to pay for the quality of the food. Can't wait to try more.

I found Kathmandu Momocha as a pop-up at this year's Folklife Festival in Seattle Center. A quick…read moresearch revealed they have a physical location, too. Learned something new. We tried their chicken momocha, steamed dumplings, 6 pieces for $13. Unfortunately, they were only lukewarm. They had a long line; I suspect the dumplings are not getting reheated for long enough. I know they are all fully-cooked/steamed and brought here to be warmed and served, so I wasn't concerned about food poisoning. Each momo is well stuffed, densely packed and meaty (much better than the momo food truck in Tulalip) with a pleasantly thin skin. Overall quality of the momo is in fact very good. We are only disappointed that they are lukewarm. The medium sauce is excellent. The pop-up menu has less options compared to the physical restaurant and cost more. The same chicken momocha, steamed dumplings cost $14.95 for 10 pieces if the online menu is accurate. That is a much better price. I still want to try their pan-fried version. Those look good.

Well better late than never I guess as we finally made it here and simply loved the food! I got my favorite when it comes to Indian cuisine which was the Chicken Vindaloo. It was wonderful! Steve liked his dish as well (though I can't quite remember what it is)! We got some Garlic Naan to go along with our meal. It was huge! But we chowed it down and loved every moment of it! From the bar which I think is called the Yeti Bar we got some Saffron infused cocktails. The one I picked was the Madras. It wad very good and this type of vodka added a great, unique dimension to the cocktail. We loved it! We to finish off this great meal we got some dessert with some deep fried goodness along with some cream. Yes, we had a fantastic meal here and really went all out by trying everything. Steve and I can't wait to come back and doing it all over again.

The butter chicken was a bit salty but flavor was great. The naan was okay but could use more stuffing. The combination meats was a good amount of food and came out on a sizzling plate.

Food: (3/5) I got the veggie samosas and my partner got the chicken korma. The inside was savory and fluffy but the outside was a little soggy which might be from sitting in a box for a 20 minute car ride. I felt like they were just ok compared to others I've had. My partner's chicken korma was our first time ever trying the dish and we really enjoyed it! It was creamy and definitely warmed up our bodies on such a cold day. The chicken was also really tender. Service (5/5): The two girls at the front counter greeted us when we came in and were very kind when taking our order. The food took about 20 minutes to make, which we used to hop next door and get a drink from He Brew. Loved the overall experience!

The chicken tika masala puts every other version I've had to shame, rich with visible herbs. The rice is fluffy, the meats are well seasoned. I love the lamb! The owners check on diners and are happy to explain dishes. The walls are adorned with beautiful fabric tapestries and the interior has a cozy feel. Most of the dishes they make are inherently gluten-free and they are thoughtful about labeling.

There were a few other people at 11:30am We asked if they do lunch buffet as I didn't see any self serve food. The staff said they offered in the past but not today.. it might come back in 2 weeks? We ordered hummus, garlic naan, fish masala and special kebabs without lamb which was accommodated per our request. The food even the side veggies were really good, we all liked everything. I like this place for good quality fresh ingredients that I don't feel overstuffed. It's probably because the food is easy to digest? This doesn't happen with other Mediterranean and Indian food. I'd like to come back when they start lunch buffet again.
