    Nepali Tea
    Joley B.

    I can't tell you how thrilled I was to find there was a Nepali restaurant in Ajax. I rarely have the opportunity to get Nepali food in my hometown, and it was nice to have such a pleasant sit down experience. Being that it was Good Friday, I wasn't sure all stores and restaurants were open. So I called ahead to check, and I was in luck! So after a long walk through the Toronto Zoo, I headed back to Ajax for a late lunch/early dinner. The location of Lumbini Hut is great. It's on a corner with access to the parking in back from the side street or a driveway on the east side of the building. There was plenty of parking on a holiday at 3pm, so no worries for me. I could see this lot getting filled up on a regular Friday night though. Walking in, you immediately feel transported to another place. The server was wearing traditional clothing, and the decor evoked a sense of price and love for the Nepali culture. The choice of the tablewear (gold cups and silverware) added to the sense of place far from western culture. There was only one other party in the restaurant when I arrived, but the soon left, and I was alone. It was a little sad to be experiencing this place alone, but nonetheless I did enjoy. I knew immediately that I was going to order Chatpate. This was a dish my former Nepali students back home used to make for me. The puffed rice and mix of spices and bits of vegetable is not something I could ever replicate, and I was so excited to have it. I also ordered pani puri because I'd never tried it before and it looked very good in photos I'd seen. I ate these two dishes first and savored every bit. The chatpate was crispy and flavorful (not to spicy, but lots of flavor), and the pani puri were beautiful and tasted great too. The accompanying sauce (not sure what it was, but had cilantro and other herbs) was delicious and I dribbled that over both dishes for added flavor. After eating halfway through these dishes, I realized how cold I was from my day at the zoo. I asked about my tea, because I was looking to warm up, but I also decided I had enough room for some chicken momo. I ordered the steamed kind that comes in a basket. My Nepali Tea was a milk tea and very smooth. It was not too spicy like chai can sometimes be. Instead it was very mild and perfect for what I wanted. Then my momos came out. The presentation on all the food was beautiful, even the momos. What I noticed first was how they did not stick to each other. I think it is a feat of cooking to make dumplings that don't stick to each other or the container. So this was a good sign. Then the aroma wafted over... it seemed like the smell of a homemade chicken soup - the kind your grandma makes. It was so inviting. The momos were served with a yellow sauce on the side. I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but the mix of spices made the momo's more interesting. To be honest though, they didn't need any topping. They were fantastic by themselves, and I wanted to devour them all right there. I did end up taking some home and eating them for breakfast the next day. The retained their quality even the next morning! Since I was alone in the restaurant, I had the chance to talk with my server a bit. It was a pleasure to talk with her, and she mentioned how they were only open now for about 5 months. I was really surprised by this, and I really hope that the word gets out and they stay in business. They offer live music on Friday nights which you can find out more about on their facebook page. And they are more than just a restaurant, the are an event venue as well. I think they have great potential for success, and highly recommend you try this place out, whether your just passing through like me, or a seasoned resident of Ajax.

    Food 4/5 Service 4/5…read moreAmbiance 4/6 Food: We ordered the meat platter, salmon momo half plate, & sho-go momo. For dessert we had the deep fried banana. Everything was delicious & freshly made. We really liked the sho-go momo (potato & onion). The deep fried banana is good too. Not too much batter which I liked a lot. I would definitely eat here again. Service: It's a little slow because there are only two people running the restaurant when we visited. They both were doing the cooking & serving. Hubby & I didn't mind because we weren't in a hurry. I think they should have some waitstaff to help them out. Ambiance: It's a clean restaurant. There are prayer flags strung up from the ceiling. The music they play sounded like monks chanting. It's a very relaxed vibe. On a hot summer day it was nice, breezy & cool inside. It felt nice at first but I started getting cold after a while. Their bathrooms are in the basement & we're also clean. The ceilings are a little low in the basement so you have to watch your head. All in all it was an enjoyable lunch. My favourite was the sho-go momos (potato & onion).

    Food: 3 Stars Service: 3.5 Stars…read moreAmbience: 3 Stars Fill Factor: Satisfied Each time I wander Greek town and see this place I promise that I would try it next time as I am a big fan of all sorts of dumplings. Well today I finally decided to make good on that promise and while I was not blown away it was a positive experience overall. The first thing I noticed about the menu was how many momo options were available. A lot of different choices from your basic chicken/beef/pork to butter chicken momos so lots of options. I ended up just getting a half plate of steamed pork momos along with the chilli chicken. The momos were pretty average in terms of taste even when I used the sauces provided. Perhaps the fried version would have been better but I definitely was underwhelmed with this one. As for the chilli chicken, the flavour was decent and for those who love saucy dishes like me this one is not saucy at all. I asked for a 5-6 on a scale of 10 for spiciness and it definitely had a bit of a kick but nothing too spicy. In terms of taste it was decent however I found the chicken to be a bit on the dry side but not too bad. The folks there were super friendly and overall service was not bad. The food arrived quickly too which was a good thing as I was hungry. There was plenty of seating in the restaurant and it was spaced out nicely so it was comfortable to be in. There were a lot of cabinets with different items in them so it might be interesting to look around while you wait for your food. Overall, I enjoyed the visit and will definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

    Came back with my friend to try the fried version of their lamb momos & the newest vegetarian…read moreflavor (forgot the name but it has cabbage, mushrooms, paneer, and spices). Lamb momos were a 10/10, although I still prefer them steamed. Veg feature momos had great texture but my friend and I found them to be very strong in cumin flavor without really tasting like anything else. Dousing it in hot sauce and soy sauce helped but it would've been nice if it had more of its own flavor. 6/10, probably wouldn't order again but they got me pretty full considering its fiber content. Lamb still remains my favorite, my friend who tried these for the first time also seemed to agree. They were perfectly spiced & very juicy. Mango lassi is still mandatory! They get busy SO quickly and their small team of 2-3 employees do such an amazing job at delegating and getting everyone's food out at a reasonable time. Today we saw an even more diverse demographic so Loga's is THE spot for authentic nepalese momos!

Momos are juicy and their deep fried momos are so tasty! You can grab sauces (spicy mayo I think and soy sauce) and condiments (spicy radish?) from the counter or they bring it out to you. The owners were SO nice and offered customers ice cream and water during the heat wave :')
