This place is POPPING. Very lively and pretty busy. Definitely a fun atmosphere and this was an hour or so before closing and the customers just came endlessly pouring in. Luckily we were seated immediately though it took some time for our food to come out, but it's understandable given the crowds. This restaurant is also decorated from ceiling to floor with cultural decorations, pictures, knick knacks, little statues, etc. So much to look at. We got the: 1) Dal Bhat Power 24 Hour :) -Yes, it had a smiley face on the ordering menu, I HAD to get it and the name just elicited so much mystique that my curious adventurous mind had to order it. -Apparently, it's a popular Nepali saying, praising the 24 Hour Power you can get from a meal of lentil soup (dal) and rice (bhat). -It's literally lentil soup and rice, but it was a great filler for everything else that we got during our meal. -I love lentil soup and it was a hearty serving that had a great mix of seasoning and spices. 2) Goat Sekuwa: -Goat really isn't served at a lot of restaurants so seeing this protein being offered, we had to get it. -It's bone in goat BBQ served with dry rice, peanuts, sliced cucumbers and carrots, and sauce. -I have NEVER had dried rice beforehand and was bewildered by this grain. Though it went great with the lentil soup from our other order and balances with the moist goat meat. -It was a bit chewier and gamier than what I'm used to, but my boyfriend really enjoyed this. -I loved the veggie curry that came with it as a side. Plenty of potatos. 3) Ranjana Galli Soda: -It's their classic Codd Marble Bottle Soda fused with black salt masala and lime. -I've seen this ALL the time on social media where the guy would slap the soda everywhere in rapid fashion and serve it to you and once I saw this I had to get it. -It's a Sprite like soda with masala spice to it. Refreshing and unique, I'd get it again. 4) Buff Momo Kothey (extra spicy): -It's a half steamed and half fried dumpling. Crispy bottom and super flavorful. Very juicy meat on the inside. Slightly chewy exterior, went great with their sauce. -Momo's are a must if you're getting Nepalese food! Enough to share amongst 3 hungry adults and a great place to get Nepalese food, something I don't get a chance to eat everyday. Would definitely love to visit again. read more

I love their Impossible Momos so I drove a little out of my way to get them. I also wanted to try a curry. I had looked at the Aalu Bodi Tama because I love potatoes and Black-eyed peas, but I was nervous about it because I read a review or saw somewhere that it was sour. The server said it wasn't very sour. Thankfully I got that because it was really very good! It didn't taste sour at all. It had a nice earthy (in a good way) flavor due to the peas. Except it wasn't spicy at all. I will definitely be ordering that again! And I may have to drive out of my way more often for some more Impossible Momos and my new fav Black-eye pea curry! read more

Kathmandu Cuisine - AALU BODI TAMA--very good! Potatoes, Black-Eyed Peas, and Bamboo Shoots. Not spicy. - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Milpitas, California

I walked into this restaurant coz I love momos. I must say this restaurant gives that Nepali vibes and is cozy and not too bright. I tried their jhol momos and veg thupka! Liked both the dishes and I was full after eating these two. Service was quick - did not take too long. My only worry was I believe $14 for 8 momos or for thupka could feel a little pricey. But that's what Bay Area pricing is! It is easily accessible and close to great mall and Indian grocery stores. Great place to hangout during shopping. Good number of parking spots available in the market complex or on the street. This is from April- sorry for the late review. read more

I love the pork sekuwa aka pork sadeko. If you come, definitely give this dish a try! We also got butter chicken (kids- which is not spicy at all), but I think mild would have been fine. Momo dumpling with chicken tikka sauce, pretty good- it was pan fried first read more

First time trying Kathmandu with two friends and really enjoyed the experience. We came kind of late after a small business event and were recommended to try their momo (dumplings). Also our first time having Nepalese food which was delicious! Well decorated restaurant and love the vibrant colors and atmosphere. It's pretty straightforward for ordering, which we can do on the app. The host also gave us clarifications on what we saw through yelp pictures. We ordered a couple items to share, the mustang fries, chicken tandoori, Chinese bhel, pork momo and a vegetarian momo. All the dishes were unique and familiar at the same time. The tandoori chicken had about 4 decent sized pieces and well seasoned - not dry. The mustang fries were like a twist on potato wedges! Both momo fillings were good but I think I likes the pork version a bit more! And our favorite was the Chinese bhel which I think is like a crunchy noodle salad. Super good flavor and texture. Would definitely come back and try out more dishes in the future! read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. This is probably our go to Nepali restaurant in the South Bay Area. The owners are always around, they're so nice and the overall service is good. We usually get: Buffalo Chilly - delicious crispy buffalo meat in onions and bell pepper sauce. 10/10 Steamed chicken momo - the momo is more spiced than other places but the flavor is delish. Chicken fried rice for the kids without any spices or pepper - the kids seem to love it. The portion is quite big Goat Sekuwa Set - absolutely our fav set. Comes with grilled goat meat, lemon, beaten rice, peanuts and beaten rice. Meat is cooked perfectly. I love the quirky ethnic decor. Definitely recommend it read more

Really wanted to like this place since my friend raved about it, but I can't say I enjoyed the flavors here for Nepalese food. For the items I did like though, they were solid overall. RECS: + Samosas ($6/2pcs, 4.25/5 stars) are solid and large, comes with sweet chili sauce + Veggie pakora ($12, 4.25/5 stars) were crunchy, savory vegetable fritters! Unexpected like as we didn't order this but were pleased + Chicken tikka masala ($16, 4.25/5 stars) is always a must + Garlic naan ($5.25, 4/5 stars) was buttery, though I wish there was slightly more garlic PASS: + Chili buffalo momos ($18/8pcs, 2/5 stars) had a good level of spice but not a fan of the flavors from the spices + Palak paneer ($16, 1/5 stars) was just not my thing texture and flavor wise read more

Good food, quick service and casual ambiance. We ended up spending couple of hours with our food there, and they didn't bother us on a Sunday early evening. The food is good, I loved the momos and the jhol (though) cold it was to the point. Loved to see honey chilli potatoes in the menu. Though the potatoes could be crispier but the flavors were good. So no complaints. I will go back whenever I am craving for jhol momos and will recommend them to everyone. read more

Vegetarian Thukpa is very comforting, comes with an option to adjust the spice level according to your preferences. Loaded with veggies and garbanzo beans in a well balanced broth, made it feel nutritionally wholesome. Hakka noodles is also good, light and easy on grease. While I liked the steamed momos overall, I would have preferred an even softer momo wrapper, the flavorful fillings make up for it though Kathmandu chiya was an unexpectedly highlight, the spices in the Chiya hit the right note and made for a much needed comfort beverage for the cold weather. read more

I have loved this place ever since I discovered it! I have been here multiple times, tried many dishes, yet to try many more. Went during different times evening and night mostly, the vibe is great. They always accommodated my request of 'no msg' for all dishes and I am grateful for that. I have tried the Momo chili, paneer chili, baby corn chili. All of them have the same sauce base thats spicy and full of flavor. I have loved loved the hakka noodles - thin noodles with some peppers and other veggies tossed in some sauce, tastes absolutely delicious. A lot of the food, specially the dishes I mentioned above taste quite similar to what you get in Mumbai, India. Better than many restaurants who claim they serve authentic chinese food like Mumbai! Honey chili potato again has similar taste but it's also sweeter than other dishes. All momos have good amount of filing of veggies and a little paneer, i did find the dough layer thick sometimes but nevertheless they were delicious (just not healthy ) I also tried the jhol momo and i was skeptical but loved that too. The sauce is not peanuty (i dont like peanut sauce). Cant wait to try their well known thupka dish next. Oh the staff is super nice, they wanted us to try different sauces they offer. Also love the mouth fresheners they have at the billing counter! read more

Solid spot for Nepalese food. Everything we got was good, except the Spinach paneer. It was my second time trying paneer, but the texture and taste isn't for me. I thought it was alright. However, I liked everything else! For the momos, we picked chili and water buffalo. I was a bit hesitant about eating buffalo, but it was good and didn't taste gamey. It reminded me of beef. I highly recommend getting the chili momos because of the flavors and the veggies. It's has a sweet, savory kick and wasn't too spicy. The garlic naan was great and I loved dipping it in the tikka curry. I don't remember the name, but this fried vegetable dish was super good! It was tasty and reminded me of kaarage from Japanese restaurants. This was my second time trying Kathmandu and my friends liked their experience. If I'm ever in the area again, I would eat here. read more

Came here with my girlfriend and a buddy on a whim, my friend who's not really a fan of Curry tried the lamb curry korma and it was amazing! Even he gave it a 10/10 which I would say he never does. For sure we will be back when in the area! I can't say I was a fan of the momos unfortunately, but I havent had enough experience with them to say what is good and what isn't. read more

Went here for dinner. We ordered the chicken momo kothey, chicken jhol momo and buff momo chilli. The momos were all delicious! We also ordered the chatpate; however when they brought it to us, they said that they ran out of wai wai but tried their best to make it for us regardless. On top of that, they didn't charge us for it. I really appreciated this and thought it was outstanding customer service. Most places would have apologized and told us that they wouldn't be able to make it. Service was great, food came out fairly quickly, and the food was great! The atmosphere was cozy and the restaurant was well decorated. I will definitely be going back and bringing my friends with me! read more

Ate here for the first time the other week and the food was great. Had some Nepali and Indian dishes on the menu and the Momo's were so good. They have live music on the weekends and really had a good time and enjoyed the ambiance.

This is my 2nd visit to this place. I don't know exactly why I didn't post a review for this place. Because they deserve a review. I'd loved this place on my 1st visit too. They have a more variety and their foods taste different from other Nepali/Indian restaurants in the area, including rest of the Bay Area. When you arrive here, it may not seem like the fanciest of the places but your perception will change immediately after you have a first bite. I'd met the owner during my 1st visit and he was a true gentleman. Took good care of us. A must try place and definitely worth going back. read more

What a vibe! So me and a coworker went for dinner. We placed a reservation, but when we got there, we were the only people in the restaurant. They have two options to order in the restaurant, one through the kiosk (which has pictures of all of the dishes which we did) and the traditional method of ordering with a physical menu. As for the food itself. It was sublime. The Chicken Momos are exceptional. The lollipop chicken was delicious. I definitely will be back to try both of these dishes and more. They have a karaoke bar and the restaurant feels like home. What a place! I rarely give 5 stars and this place won me over. read more

I had the jhol buffalo momos, thukpa noodles, and palak paneer. The palak paneer was delicious and creamy but I wouldn't recommend the Thukpa noodles, which were quite bland. The momos were ok but they didn't particularly stand out to me. read more

Cozy Kathmandu cuisine absolutely nails the Indo Chinese dishes. The Chilli chicken was fantastic - crispy, spicy and packed with flavor. Their Egg Chowmein is amazing...very authentic...not too much sauce or overwhelming...just right! Very close to the street style chowmein made in India. We also tried the extra hot butter garlic shrimp, and while it's not Indo-Chinese, it still tasted great. Chicken momos were average. Fast service. Highly recommended if you like spicy Indo Chinese fare! read more

Boy oh boy the Sekuwa was so good!!! Had the chicken and goat sekuwa and of course chicken momos. Everything was so good and flavorful, but the hero this time was the Sekuwa. Service good as always and this time there was live music. I don't know the music cause it's Nepali music but the guy did have a great Nepali version of Sweet Child of Mine. Truly mixing it up with those Guns 'n Roses vibes. read more

We asked the waiter if the food was spicy or not he mentioned that they can make it less spicy. I particularly mention "No SPICY" We ordered choila it was spicy and lacked favor. The next thing we ordered was paneer sizzler which barely had paneer a lot of green and red peppers along with onion and it came along with very very spicy sauce. We even mentioned to the waiter that the food was way too spicy. He only mentioned he told the kitchen staff. But didn't do anything to fix our order. I had the food 30 min earlier and now I'm having a heart burn. The momo was good. But over all the food they serve isn't up to the mark. I myself am a business person and I'd do anything to fix my service ever if I get a complain but Kathmandu Cusine isn't up to the mark. read more

This place can definitely get busy. It has a nice lively atmosphere. Service was okay. I don't like how they seated another group before us even though we were #1 in the waiting queue. Even when tables were opening up, they never called our names or took us to our table. I had to go and ask one of the workers if we can get seated. You pay for everything before hand, and then they serve you. I got the butter chicken, tikka masala, spicy shrimp appetizer and garlic naan. Dishes were very flavorful and solid. Plenty of food options. read more

I'd never been here before, so I didn't know what to expect. When you walk in you are instantly transported to somewhere that doesn't feel like Milpitas. There's lots of art everywhere, and even a movie poster of movie/book covers that share the name "Kathmandu." I was with two friends, and it took us awhile to figure out what to order. In the end we tried the fish curry, chicken naan, buff momos, veggie momos, fried tofu fried rice, garlic naan, and lamb curry. Let me tell you, everything was good! The veggie momos were a little spicy (I am also weak against spice), but it was not a problem because the flavors! They were so good! I'd never had buffalo before and now I'm converted! 100% recommend this place. Also, splitting the bill is easy since each device has its own bill/order. You may want to be aware of that when you submit orders so that everything can come out at relatively the same time. read more

Had a hankering for noddles & Chana Masala today so I decided upon Kathmandu as I was at the Great Mall. Delicious food! I ordered vegetarian Hakka noodles & Chana Masala, & Butter Naan.

The owner is very friendly and provided excellent service. The chair I sat in was comfortable & well cushioned. Nice ambiance. I'll return for sure. There's a funky bar next door if a person wants to check that out afterwards. I didn't go inside- but I liked their music! read more

This place has cool ambiance inside - Nepalese local cuisines and Mt. Everest photos. Came in with a reservation and seated in 5min. The table has QR code where you can order what you want for dine in and you have to pay it before they can get your order and prepare it. They said it's around 20min for the food to be served. Chai (teas) were served and they're really good. It's been over 35min tho and the food isn't served yet so I had to ask the guy to pls check for me and so he did. Our order took 40min before we could eat! The food came and for the price they charged us - it's generous. The food is not the best, but it's good and cheap at the same time. Would I go back?

I couldn't understand why we were the only customers at Kathmandu cuisine today. Maybe lunch on a Tuesday tends to be slow. But I hope there are lots of full tables at other times because this restaurant is wonderful and people need to know about it. Every dish we ordered was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious, and with generous portions at reasonable prices. Also, with two out of the three of us being vegetarians, we were pleased to find so many vegetarian options on the menu. I also must mention the smiley fries--you will find no better-tasting fries than these, and the presentation is delightful. As for the atmosphere, it's casual and friendly, and our server couldn't have been nicer. Highly recommended. read more

I bookmarked and came to Kathmandu Cuisine at the recommendation of a coworker. Being as though she is well aware of my daughter's picky eating habits and having a love for noodles, she was very unwavering at the idea of us HAVING to come. I took the leap and arrived at the restaurant around 615pm. The restaurant was open and seating was plentiful. Upon entering there are 2 kiosks for ordering and payment. We stood around for a bit and not a single person provided direction- they simply stared. My guy eventually approached an employee who informs us that taking a seat first is fine since there are QR codes posted at each table. Order: Fanta Samosa Garlic Naan Lamb Korma Curry, comes with rice. Veg Hakka Noodles [their version of chow mein] ** we made sure to order non spicy items and made sure to request NO SPICE on any of the dishes since we were dining with a toddler** Food comes out a lot quicker than the 20 minute estimated time provide. Hallelujah!! I dive right into feeding my child the noodles and she immediately gives me a pause, eyes wide. The noodles had heat to them. I began to sample everything and the only dish that didn't contain some kind of heat was the garlic naan. I won't hold the samosa against them because that particular order was specifically for me. To be fair, the heat wasn't anything terrible but there was a light tingling that lingered after each bite- delicious to adults, not so much to a 3yo. She spend the entire meal just sipping on the soda, refusing to eat :( Food overall was really enjoyed between us adults. The samosas were hot, crispy, and very flavorful. I didn't even need to use any of the sauces offered. The lamb curry was delicious with both the rice and garlic naan. I could eat that stuff all day!! Veggie chow mein was okay. I could have done without that and maybe purchased another dish. 3 stars overall. I wish the "mandatory heat" in this cuisine was more transparent. While it is very delicious, I don't recommend this place if you are toting/dining with a child. On top of that, there was a large group last night that went into some really really loud karaoke. This just made our meal with our child that much more difficult. I'd absolutely avoid this place like the plague when that kind of event is going down. I'm not sure if this is something Kathmandu Cuisine warns patrons about beforehand but it would have been appreciated. read more

After a well spent Sunday evening at Sierra open space reserve, wifey and I were looking for dinner options and we found this authentic Nepalese cuisine in Milpitas. Truly best decision made to eat here as we both enjoyed the flavours of Nepal in this hidden gem I must say. As an avid traveler and foodie who has tasted Nepal cuisine in the city of Kathmandu itself and Thamel. I have been surprised by the authenticity of food I got from Kathmandu cuisine. So delicious and flavourful. We ordered Chicken THUKPA and Chicken Chili. Both dishes were truly worth it and value for money. The quantity was sufficient that one thukpa was enough for 2. Chicken chilli was worth appetiser. But THUKPA is a must try. My preggy wife can't eat momos at this time, so next time we are around , we will try their steamed momos and lunch thali. Very spacious and service was great. Top spot for savouring Nepal dishes. I will keep coming again. read more
