    I've been looking forward to visit here for quite some time, and I'm happy I finally made it. The service was excellent; the staff was friendly and incredibly helpful. The food was absolutely delicious as well. The restaurant has a wonderfully calm atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing. Don't forget to check out the daily happy hour!

    Non Veggie Thali
    Peter D.

    Honestly a hidden gem on H St. Food was so good and great value to share one platter between two people. I got to try a little of everything I wanted and could not complain by the overall portion size. I specifically eyed the non vegetarian thali, but I would eat more of the paneer when I come back (oh yes... I'll definitely come back). The service was pretty prompt even though it was a somewhat empty restaurant when I visited. Super clean and plenty of indoor seating with TVs playing in the background. This is the definition of an overall great value South Asian spot in the DMV.

    I don't usually go to H St but I'm glad we made the trek to go to Nanglo! I have never had Nepalese and it was a really delicious meal. It wasn't busy on a Friday afternoon and we got seated and helped right away. We shared the vegetable momos which we all really enjoyed! They were nice and crisp and saucy and the filling was super flavorful. I had the paneer chow min for my entree and it was really good! Portion size was generous and I took home leftovers.

    I have been eyeing this spot for a few months, and I finally got to check it out for a happy hour on a Saturday afternoon. Gotta love a spot with weekend happy hours! When my friend and I got there right at the start, it was empty. But that gave me an excuse to really take it all the decor. The bar side and the rest of the dining area are divided by a half wall and beautiful bead curtains that come from the ceiling. The decor otherwise is colorful and eye popping. At the same time, it's not all that bright. Their happy hour includes $8 wine, $10 cocktails and $6-7 appetizers. I got their spicy mango mojito, old fashioned, spicy mustang aloo, and chicken sekuwa. The mojito was as spicy as I had expected, and I was surprised by how little to no ice there was. The aloo was mostly potatoes in a wedge-like shape with some other yummy flavors going on in a bowl, and the chicken was tasty. My friend's wings were good too. I would come back based on this experience, and I'd be excited to try some entrees. Vibe there is really nice.

    When visiting D.C. for business, I felt the urge to indulge in some Indian food. Super happy with Nanglo and the options to share with others at the table. The presentation and the quality of the food was superb. The atmosphere was relaxing and beautiful. The drinks were also beautiful and delicious. The service was quick and comforting and attended to our every needs. Highly recommend.

    With the goal of supporting newest local businesses along H Street NE, a friend and I did a lunch crawl on a Thursday afternoon. Out of the four spots we visited, Nanglo was one of our favorites. Here's why. 1) Food: The menu focuses on Nepali and Indian food with many options. To feed two of us, we ordered the Nanglo Set for Two for $48, which was a great price for the amount of food you get. (It can feed three people.) It comes out on a platter is the best representation of food from Nepal according to our server. It's chicken heavy with chicken wings, chicken on the bone, biryani with chicken, etc. However, there are a few other dishes like potatoes with an incredible sauce and more. Everything had incredible spice and flavor and was well prepared. 2) Space: It's large with many tables, booths, and a bar. 3) Drinks: The Nanglo Set for Two comes with two mango lassis that were delicious! I'd go back just for that! Overall, we LOVED Nanglo!

    Cauliflower Bezule
    Isaac W.

    Highly recommend. Cauliflower Bezule was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend that. I initially ordered a Goat sekuwa, but I found the meat to be tough so they swapped a Chicken Sekuwa and it was very tender and well seasoned. Great service. I will 100% be back to this place. It tastes a little different from normal Indian places, perhaps Nepali influence. I find the food here to be wonderful, and the interior decoration is beautiful !! Will be back.

    INCREDIBLEEEEEE food and ambiance!! Perfect option for sharables, kind service, super delicious food.

    Yeppp another 10/10 experience. Cute atmosphere very cultural. We ordered the curry goat and butter chicken. Fresh butter naan bread and we had a choice. Will try the cheese naan next time. Butter chicken was soo creamy and nothing but fresh flavors. The goat was the highlight.

    I have been eyeing this spot since it changed ownership and finally visited after my friend suggested we have dinner there on a Saturday evening. I do not think I've ever had Nepalese cuisine, so I was very excited to try something new. I arrived and was stunned to see the new look inside the decoration is outstanding the hand painting on the walls, the crystal lined curtain next to the booths the traditional napkins and serving dishes everything is absolutely stunning and thoughtfully curated for your dining experience. The staff was very friendly and did an amazing job with making suggestions and telling us which dishes were Nepalese. We decided to some sampling. We went with the goat sekuwa, palak chat, chicken thali, buff momo with chili and garlic naan. My favorite of all were the buff momo with chili and the veggies that came with the thali dish. Everything else was lacking in flavor and the goat was overcooked- it was hard to cut. I think the restaurant is beautiful and a great location and wonderful service I would try it again I would just like more flavor/spice.

    Everytime I visit Nanglo, I tell myself there's no way my dining experience can possibly get better. Guess what...... everytime it absolutely does ! The servers are super friendly, the manager is very welcoming, the bartender is creative and attentive. The food is immaculate, cooked to tenderly perfection, with bold flavors, served with generous portions at a great price point. Combined, this makes the perfect ambiance for a deep dive into the diversity of Nepalese.

    Goat Curry
    Arthur C.

    Nanglo opened this weekend on H St., providing the neighborhood with a solid Nepalese-Indian restaurant. I just ordered the goat curry, mango virgin mojito and the gulab jamun with ice cream. The goat curry was solid, but I'll note that it has a lot of bones; the meat though is quite tender. The mango virgin mojito was sweet and tangy and a good mocktail option. I enjoyed my dessert and additionally appreciated the great service.

    Menu

    An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding--we began with the Paneer Shashlik, which was perfectly grilled, well seasoned, and full of flavor. For the main course, we ordered the Nanglo Special Thakali Thali (non-veg), an impressive variety of dishes featuring tender tandoori chicken, flavorful chicken biryani, chicken momo, veg chilly momo, veg chow mein, tandoori wings, spicy Mustang aloo, and a refreshing mango lassi. We also enjoyed the bread basket. Portions were generous, and every dish was consistently delicious. The service was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Nanglo!!!

    We wanted to order from Moh Moh Licious, but it literally closed 3 minutes from when we were trying…read moreto order so we settled for this spot. And I'm sad we did, because the food was NOT good. We ordered - Impossible meat momos 3/5 - they were okay...not the best and not the greatest. The flavor was hiding and the momo did not stay in tact at all. The sauce that they served alongside did not enhance the momo at all. Veggie momo 3/5 - again, they were okay. In fact, I think these were worst than the impossible meat momos. Didn't seem like there was any flavor and just veggies mushed together with salt and pepper. Raita 3/5 - way too liquidy for my liking. I thought they would at least provide rice, but no. So it was just basically liquid yogurt with a couple of strips of cucumbers and carrots. Paneer chili 0/5 - the container literally said 'paneer chili' and after 2/3 bites, I asked my friend if this was actually paneer because it was kind of chewy? Of course it wasn't and it was chicken!! I'm vegetarian so I was so disappointed that they put the wrong item in our order, especially since the container explicitly said paneer. This morning I woke up with a terrible stomachache. The food definitely did not sit right with me. I'm definitely going to skip this place and try Moh Moh Licious next time.

    Very cute and quiet! The food was tasty and the drink was pretty good. Service was good and quick.read more

They also brought complimentary bread, which was a nice touch. What stood out the most was the value. For the amount of food we got, the prices were very reasonable for the area. We ordered chili chicken, biryani, and two orders of momos, and the biryani "for two" honestly could have fed four people. Even after all three of us ate, we still had enough leftovers for two or three full meals. Overall, really good food, generous portions, and a great value. Glad we gave this place a try.

Immediately made a reservation for dinner, though it turned out that the restaurant had lots of empty seats (at 7:30-8:30pm). The dishes I tried: 1. Complimentary Sel Roti: fried rice flour "bagel". Crispy outside, sticky and soft and sweet inside. It was served with some Mula Achar (pickled radishes), whcih was too salty for me. 2. Roti: Feels like it is not whole wheat, unlike the rotis in many Indian restaurants. 3. Roasted Yak: I asked for rare and the restaurant did a good job. The meat was lean but very tender. A little bit gamy which was what I look for. It was served with brown and red sauces; both sauces were spicy, while the red was also slightly sweet. 4. Goat Bhutan: Basically fried goat intestine, goat stomach and goat liver, served with raw tomatoes, onions and puffed rice. Mostly crispy, like it was shallow-fried. The organs were delicious but too oily for me. 5. Brussels sprouts: It was said to be pan-fried but looked like roasted. Savory and sweet. Service was good and quick. Overall, if you like game meats and/or Nepali food you should try this restaurant.

I've been eating here since Royal Nepal opened and was under different management. I've even dined at both the original (Brambleton, VA) and Arlington locations of Himalayan Wild Yak, a spin-off of sorts by two of the original owners. Both of these restaurants deserve your patronage as well when you're in either Arlington or out by Dulles. They are all great. The difference that Royal Nepal brings to the "table" is simple. They never lost that neighborhood feel and they don't take their patrons for granted. With a location down the block from the Birchmere and nestled in the up and coming Arlandria neighborhood of Alexandria, they project both a hometown restaurant feel as well as an adventurous vibe - have you ever eaten yak? The staff are real gems and the ambiance is a real treat from the "pickled veggies" on the window shelves down to the handmade Nepali napkins, this place is a virtual travelog. I can only say explore their menu and you're sure to find a treasure right here in the neighborhood.

We shared the malai paneer lasagna, which was rich, creamy, and flavorful. I got the murgh makhani as my main dish and it was fantastic-perfectly cooked, great flavor, amazing portion size, and creamy. I highly recommend Daru and look forward to returning! February 2023: An absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish in every way. Daru is the rare restaurant to exceed the tremendous hype it has. My friend and my amazing experience started the day before, when Daru asked us if anyone in our party had any food restrictions, which my friend did. When we arrived for our weeknight reservation, we were seated immediately. What distinguishes Daru from almost anywhere I've been is that our server gave us a paper menu with the dishes my friend could eat based on the listed dietary restrictions starred-above and beyond service. The rest of our service was similarly excellent, with our server making some excellent recommendations that allowed us to try the dishes we wanted and additional dishes in the most cost-efficient way. Our dishes were delivered in a timely manner and the meal itself was extremely affordable. Daru adds an automatic 20% charge to all checks and tells you on the menu; our experience was worth all of that gratuity. The food itself was incredible-a modernist take on Indian cuisine. Everything my friend and I had was good and ranged from fine to incredible. I recommend sharing 4-5 small and large plates per two people like my friend and I did to enjoy as many dishes as possible. Black Dal Burrata-my least favorite dish of the evening, but still fine. The lentils could have had a bit more flavor and the dish needed a side of rice, but the burrata was rich and creamy. Bread basket: The za'atar naan was fine but no need to order it, as the garlic naan was outstanding. The parota was good but needed more butter or oil. Chutneys and sauces: My favorites were the sour cherry chutney, the chimichurri, and tomato-szechuan. I love spicy food but the habenero-kashimir chili overwhelmed overwhelmed any other flavors. Blue Cheese Reshmi Kebab-One of Daru's most recommended and unique dishes, it lives up to the hype. The chicken was well-cooked, the cashew provides crunch, the cheese umami, and the sour cherry sauce complemented everything perfectly. Striped Bass Paturi: Simply outstanding. Perfectly cooked fish with good spice, greens, and creaminess. Some of the best bass I've ever had. I highly recommend Daru for your next special occasion and make sure to book well in advance if you want a reservation between 6-9 PM-there are many reasons Daru is this popular! Things to note: 1. Daru is small and it can be hard to hear at times. 2. The surrounding neighborhood isn't the safest-I would recommend not coming alone at night and taking a rideshare after dark if possible (avoid public transit and parking nearby) 3. The lot next to Daru is currently a construction zone, so you may see a rat or two if you are at Daru after dark and sitting by the window. This is beyond Daru's control; something to note for the next few months if you go there.
