There were 8 of us in town and we stumbled upon this place. Very friendly service and the food was tasty, scrumptious and zesty. We had garlic naan, mango and rose lassis and lots of great vegetarian dishes. They refilled our second naan order lickey-split! The beer prices are amazing-$4 for a pint of New Belgium-small town prices for big city beer. And the patio was lovely! Highly recommend read more

Kathmandu Restaurant - Nice outdoor patio - Indian Near Me - Nederland, Colorado

Wanted to try something new after a day at Eldora. Our family of 5 tried different dishes and all were very happy with our choices. Service was quick and easy everything was very clean. Great place for a nice family dinner. read more

Get the Tandoori chicken with a side of naan bread. It will be one of the best meals you will have in your life. Check out my other reviews to see that I don't normally give this good of a review. Just be careful to turn away and not breathe in the smoke when they bring it to your table. read more

One of the most reliably good restaurants in Ned. Very good for lunch, dinner or takeout. It has a full bar and a solid set of draft beers. The menu has a large range of meat and vegetable dishes as well as several sets of naan. We order saag paneer every time we eat this style food and they make it well here. The daal is served as a soup in broth rather than as a bean dish. In the meat arena, I favor the jal frezi. Parking is generally available except on heavy tourist days. read more

I had the lunch buffet, which was an excellent value and very vegan friendly (and helpfully labeled!). The service was attentive and friendly. read more

The food was great !!!! Lots of options ! Staff was friendly and prices are reasonable , the portions are plenty I would come back and would recommend. read more

Excelleni Indian food and one Nepali dish - momos or maybe Tibetan . Big portions/ saag ghosh chicken korma, pakoras, garlic naan , chaana masala, rice. All excellent. Also a big drink menu - including mixed drinks, beers, wines. Food is not that spicy - probably okay with locals. A little expensive - $15 entrees but wiorth it read more

We all had the buffet and it was good! The mango custard was tasty. They had a smattering of different Currys, rice, and veggie selections.

Recommended: Paneer Masala 5/5 Lamb Curry 5/5 Chai Tea 5/5 Coming from the SF Bay Area, we have a tons of good Indian restaurant. I would never expect I could run into the best Indian/Nepalese cuisine I've ever had in a small town after a long day hike in the Rocky Mountains. We were debating whether we want to have dinner in Netheland or in Boulder. After reading a review in yelp about people would drive 30 mins to this town just for this restaurant - we decided to give it a shot. It turned out to be a great choice!! Menu looked pretty authentic. We ordered a garlic potato naan (forgot the name..), paneer masala, lamb curry and chai tea. I especially liked the silver bowls they used to serve the entree. Both entrees tasted awesome!! It went so well with the rice and the naan. We almost emptied every plate.. One more awesome thing to mention - the chai tea was bottom less! read more

Kathmandu Restaurant - Lamb curry + paneer masala. Love love love!!! - Indian Near Me - Nederland, Colorado

Thr There tea was amazing and the buffet was great. I would highly recommend read more

We get take-out here about once a week. Everything has been amazing. For vegetarians I recommend the sweet potatoe masala and the saag tofu (they can do vegan upon request). Their chai is classic, sweet and milky. read more

The view alone is worth a drive to Nederland. Not to be confused with Peter Pan's HQ, this mountainous region outside of Boulder is fun for adults mostly. On a mission to see some fall foliage in early September, we got sidetracked by Nepalese lunch buffet. Kathmandu lunch buffet to be exact. Frankly, after I stuffed myself with rice, tikka masala and dosas, the trees seemed to fade into the distance. While dining on all-you-can-eat glory, the hills and peaks are in close proximity. It almost feels like you've climbed all the way up here and are burning calories while you eat. It's not true, but a girl can dream. Very cheap, very filling and very unexpected. Sure you can visit the sister restaurant in Boulder, but why not make a road trip out of it? read more

Restaurant is located in a temporary location for another month or so while remodeling. We sat outside at a picnic table. GET THE CHAI TEA! Absolutely delicious and helps with waiting for food-- since it does take awhile. All food is very fresh and scrumptious. Had to eat in paper plates and plastic, so not ideal. But the food was very tasty. read more

What a gem! The food and service were both amazing. We had a large group and they were so accommodating. The sweet potato masala and vegetable momo were perfect. read more

A couple of friends and I took a drive from Estes Park because we heard great things about the food here. We were not disappointed. I had the lamb chili (hot), garlic paratha, and iced chai tea. One friend had the lamb vindaloo (hot), garlic paratha, and hot chai tea. The other friend had sweet potatoe masala, samosa, fries, and iced chai tea. Everything was delicious! Some of the most flavorful Indian food I've ever had! The flavors danced on my tongue the entire drive back. Highly recommended! read more

Wow. The chicken tikka masala was heaven. I was not expecting to visit a place like this on my trip to Colorado but I am so happy I did. It felt a little out of place however once we started eating, we were all pleasantly surprised. No frills dining with delicious authentic Nepalese cuisine. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years. If your around that long in Ned, you are doing a lot of things right.

I love the food at Kathmandu. I ate at Kathmandu before going to the actual Kathmandu, and also after, and this is the most authentic Nepalese food I have eaten since coming back from Nepal. I love that they even have the stainless steel cups and plates (which are every restaurant in Nepal). A friendly Nepalese family runs the place. I love coming here after skiing at Eldora and grabbing the buffet. Get the saag and naan side of dal bhat, and the cauliflowers and potato curry, and you will be immensely satisfied. ... amazing. I crave their food. Good service, and chai which is succulent. read more

Kathmandu Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Nederland, Colorado

Kathmandu has been a favorite of ours for years and is now an iconic Nederland restaurant! It's perfect to eat mountain cuisine up in the mountains near Nederland There are so many delicious, flavorful options on the huge lunch buffet, some gluten free, or dairy free or vegan. We eat all of it! Imagine Northern Indian food with a twist with curries, saag, kormas, pampadans, samosas etc..... The homemade chai is amazing too. Resham and Mula are your friendly hosts in this authentic Nepalese restaurant and promise a delicious lunch or dinner. The portions are generous. We come in groups and as a family to both Kathmandu in Nederland or the equally delectable Kathmandu II in Boulder. Highly recommended! read more

Their location might have changed (the stone house on 1st street) but the food quality has not. Window side service, great menu, great people. I'm so glad Kathmandu has been able to stay open throughout this crisis. read more

The food here is amazing! I will caveat my review upfront because I have never actually eaten at the restaurant; however, the nice folks that run the place have catered both my brother and sister-in-law's wedding and my niece's wedding. At my niece's wedding on Saturday, there was SO.MUCH.FOOD and it was all delicious. The usual assortment of delicious and fragrant cuisine was supplemented with a variety of naan and a vat of hot chai. In addition, the owner herself assisted with the delivery of the food. The staff was so friendly and my brother said that making the arrangements with them was a breeze. read more

The lunch buffet was clean, delicious and well priced. I adored their mango sauces for the vegatbles and their noodle dish was delicious. Highly recommend! read more

They have the best Nepalese / Indian food in colorado! You have to try this place. Their food is great and so is the service and atmosphere.

Don't let the buffet throw you off- This place is incredible! Mixing the Chile chicken with the creamed saag (spinach) is amazing - spicy hot and amazing. The rice pudding is interesting and delicious. read more

We had the buffet lunch on Sep 26, 2022 at the Nederland, CO location. There were 6 of us and 2 had never had Indian/Nepali food before. Everyone loved the food. Some of our favorites were the Sweet Potato Marsala and the Mango custard and the fried spinach leaves. We appreciated the outside seating. read more

This place was delicious! Very fast service, extremely reasonable, and large portions. I got the Tandoori Chicken Curry and it was so fresh and delicious. The steamed chicken momo were so good too! I would highly recommend this authentic and delicious food! read more

Oh my, they have so many favorites here - the pakora & chai to begin with - the most luscious Korma & Biryani... and the lunch buffet will come again one day... read more

Very good Nepalese food. The staff are always smiling and seem happy to be at their job. The food is hot and plentiful and the prices are quite reasonable. They have a buffet on certain days so call ahead to find out. A lot of healthy options. read more

Got take out tonight from the pop-up spot in downtown Ned and it hit the spot!! Great job Kathmandu! We had delicious paneer and dal. Can't wait to see the new place when it's done. But I'll be back for delish food in the meantime. Well done. read more

I had high hopes for this restaurant based on the reviews I read. Within 10 seconds of walking in, I could tell I was going to have issues. Really, it took only 10 seconds. When I walked in there was nobody to greet us or let us know where to sit. An employee 20 feet away simply yelled to us to sit at any booth. We sat at a booth and shortly after he came and gave us a pitcher of water. He didnt pour it or say anything. He just put it at the table and left. I poured the water for myself, my wife, and our daughter. A few minutes later he came and gave us menus and took the pitcher back. He didnt ask if we've been there before or say anything really. He just came and left. I was surprised that he took the pitcher as well. When we had to pour our own water I just thought "ok, its more casual and they leave the pitcher so we can help ourselves." That wasnt the case. The server just didnt want to take the time to pour the water himself (a different server I noticed later was pouring waters for customers, but this particular server who acted as though he was higher ranking did not). The entire time the service was terrible. Perhaps this was because there was only one server for the entire restaurant, but the restaurant wasn't very busy. Even if they were busy, the server could at least ask if we have any questions. We ended up ordering the combination dinner soup, momos, and garlic na'an. The food was....ok at best. The momos were fairly bad. They were tough. They looked delicious and were a perfect golden brown. However, they were tough and felt over cooked somehow. The filling was bland at best. The combination soup was good, but nothing great. The best part of the meal was the garlic na'an. It was even reasonably price. However, the bread should not be the best part of the meal. This place has a lot of work to do. From the quality of the food to basic aspects of customer service, they are lacking. read more

The buffet offers a wide selection of mostly vegetarian dishes, each diverse in flavor. My favorites are the limitless naan and spicy chicken masala. Friendly service. Well worth the price. read more

Bland bland bland. This place used to be a staple for me every time I was in town or passing through after backpacking but things have really changed (or maybe everything used to taste much better when I was ravenous and exhausted?). I had the buffet like I usually would get but every single dish was boring and flavorless. Now listen, I am a HUGE baby about spicy food and I appreciate them not spicing everything to lava-hot, however it just seemed like they ran out of every single spice. Or maybe this is how they can make it "all-you-can-eat" since nothing was worth getting seconds. So if you want to sample different colors of bland mush then I highly recommend the buffet. But if you actually want to taste food-like flavors then go off the menu like other reviewers recommended (or just go somewhere else). read more

As a New Yorker that thrives off of Indian/Nepali food, I was very pleased with the two dishes I had at kathmandu. The paneer masala was very good, I asked for it spicy and they gave me a side plate of chili paste that was perfect for adding spice as needed (about half the amount). The chicken momos were perfect. Well cooked outside skin that wasn't too thick or thin, and really noisy flavorful chicken on the inside with a spicy dip. My friend got the buffet in which he said the food was "2/5 stars" but agreed that MY made to order dishes were really good There was barely anyone in the restaurant but if you want good food, skip the buffet and go for actual dishes read more

Augh!!!! So good! Everything was amazing! Saag paneer, perfect rice, excellent samosas. The meat dishes (tikka masala, etc) were also perfectly seasoned. All at a super low price. These guys are die-hards too... I came on a crazy snow day and they were operating business as usual. I gotta say: There's not much better than an awesome Indian buffet on a cold, stormy day. I'll make a special point to come back here whenever I'm in the area. read more

I was so excited to try this place based on the positive reviews, but it was really a disappointing experience. There is far better Indian food in Colorado. I opted for the saag, which people have raved about in their reviews. It was nothing special, and it left me feeling nauseous for the rest of the night. Relative to the other saags I've had, it seemed a heavy on the cream and didn't taste very fresh. I took the advice of previous reviewers and ordered it hot. It had a delightful level of spice and heat. Other than that, it just wasn't working. I've had much better saag in Colorado. My boyfriend got the chicken tikka masala, which he sad was just ok. Neither of us finished our leftovers. The complimentary pappadum prior to the entrees was stale and the sauces were not my cup of tea. My cup of chai, however, was the highlight of the meal and some of the best chai I've had. Service was fine, very nice and quick. I understand that there is a lot working against a restaurant like this in a place as isolated as Nederland. It's difficult to find the kind and quality of ingredients to make stellar Indian food, and the elevation likely complicates the naan making process. I also didn't try any of the Nepalese dishes, which may be better than the Indian ones. read more

Absolutely delicious!!! The buffet looked like a great way to try things, but we ordered the veggie Korma, garlic naan, and Somosa's, it was absolutely in heavenly I am sure we'll be making special drives out just for the food! read more

Great lunch buffet, great atmosphere, very affordable. One of our favorite spots. If you havent ate here i highly recomend it. Cant wait to see it after the new remodel and addition. read more

This is basically just an Indian Restaurant guys, I didn't see anything distinct that let me know otherwise. They have a buffet that is 12 bucks for dinner I believe. It was delicious! Unlimited naan also! They had a lot of options in the buffet: chicken masala, jasmine rice, almond raisin jasmine rise, curry, etc.... They had it all. Their simosas were delicious and crispy as well! This town is pretty small so there are only a few restaurants that are worth going to, this one is definitely one of them! read more

There are very few times I am this surprised, but I was amazed at how amazing the food was. The rice was cooked perfectly. The chicken tika couldn't have been more perfect. My picky eater loved it. The paneer, curry, and potato samosas can hardly be beat. We are so glad we stopped here. read more

Delicious food with authentic ambience. Good portion sizes for price too. Truly a hidden gem! Highly recommend.
