Strictly a review of the lunch buffet. Delicious!! Only thing that can be a bit confusing is which meat dishes are they offering for the buffet on any given day. They can change pretty drastically. read more

People friendly. Service prompt. Nothing special about ambience. Food sub-par at best. Neither Nepali nor Indian. Saw one small bug crawling along the hot buffet surface. Too many other good choices to consider a return trip. read more

Purchased a yelp "$65 for $100" deal and the restaurant refused to honor the voucher. Attempted to order delivery or carryout but the staff insisted that we must dine in the restaurant in order to redeem the voucher. Fortunately our credit card company was able to refund this clearly fradulent "bait and switch" attempt. Buyer Beware. read more

Nepal House - Voucher refused by restaurant. - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Incredible food, but that isn't even the best part. Very nice and awesome staff, and the overall experience is great due to the decor and music, and the bathroom. Although strange sounding, the bathroom of a restaurant does make or break the experience believe it or not. Great for selfies I'll tell you that. A Baltimore must. read more

Great food and really fast service if you go there and pick it up yourself! The guy working was super nice when we picked up the first time and it only took 15 mins on a weekend. The flavors of the dishes are always great and the rice is even nicely seasoned with cardamom pods. read more

Absolutely the best place in Baltimore. This hidden gem has the best food, vibes and service. All of the waiters and hostess are friendly and multiple delicious are so flavorful and unique. Can't wait to go back! read more

I have been coming to Nepal house for several years now and the food never disappoints. The lunch buffet in particular--very reasonable price for an extensive spread that has not wavered in quality in my experience. Perfect for a work lunch, visiting family or other large groups. There are several Nepalese and Indian restaurants in the area, but what sets Nepal House apart is the hospitality of the hosts. I say hosts and not employees, because I always feel as if I'm entering someone's home while dining here due to the warmth and graciousness of the Nepal House community. Delicious food. Excellent presentation. read more

Brought a vegan friend here for the weekend buffet and was not disappointed. A delicious assortment of fresh vegetables, lentil dishes, chutney, spiced potato, nan. Plenty of vegan options, great staff, the owner visited the table, a wonderful experience. We will be back. read more

Personal favs from the lunch buffet: chicken tikka masala, sweet rice, the mustard greens, yogurt sauce, and the naan. My bf was also a big fan of the lamb curry. Buffets often result in overindulgence, so before you dig in at the Nepal house, I recommend scanning the offerings available. I tried a little bit of everything and figured out what I liked, which was tough because there were so many different curries, soups, and vegetables available. My bf focused on the proteins; the tandoori chicken chunks were rather big, and the fish curry was a miss, but everything else was pretty good. The gulab jamun was extremely sweet; the pastry is basically a sponge that soaks up sugar water, so be prepared. The fruit seems relatively fresh, and the chai tea is sugary but quite good. Overall, we got to try a huge variety of food for only $12/person. An awesome dining experience in the Mount Vernon area. read more

Nepal House - Buffet time! - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

It looks sort of like a banquet house , the food is great , the Sage paneer is the best. The staff are attentive and nice. Will come again

The lunch buffet at Nepal House is great. Though the variety isn't its selling point, the common staples are available and the food is delicious. From samosas and tandoori chicken, to curry varieties and grilled vegetables, to sweet masala tea and dessert, everything was palatable. How the handle naan is clutch. They aren't made available in the buffet area. Rather, they are freshly baked and constantly brought to your table. Service is great, the area is spacious, and an $11 lunch buffet isn't something anyone can complain about. read more

I'm a huge fan of this place. I'm also Indian. Game. Set. Match. Mt Vernon has many options for Indian food. However, I think this place is the best. The buffet is always well stocked with a paneer dish and gulab jaman, even in weekdays, which is often not the case elsewhere. They've also significantly upgrade the ambiance and space from mughal garden (the previous restaurant) while maintaining the positive qualities of the food. The staff also works hard. Give it a try. read more

Nepal House is pretty average in my opinion. The interior is quite nice. If you're from Nepal and have a high spice tolerance- don't hold any expectations. My mom ordered an "extra spicy" thali set and it turned out to be sweet! We also waited 40 MINUTES for the thali sets to arrive- by the time we finished the momos we waited an extra 10 minutes until the thali sets arrived. The portion sizes are pretty large so be careful to not over order. read more

Love the food here! Whenever I'm in the mood for some good Nepali or Indian food, Nepal House is always reliable. I discovered this place three years ago when my mother told me about it. I have been coming back for lunch, dinner and sometimes have even catered from here for large events. Make sure to come hungry because you will definitely be full at the end of your meal. Everything on their dinner menu is absolutely delicious. Their lunch menu probably has the best value. Lunch is a set price for a buffet style. I usually am not attracted to buffets, but Nepal House's buffet is clean and never disappoints. Not to mention the friendly service at Nepal House. The hostess really takes the time to get to know you and make sure you are comfortable and leave the whole experience happy and full. Definitely recommend. read more

The food was fresh and tasty. I had the butter chicken (which I've never had) and naan bread. Pretty good for my first time here.

Walked in, sat at the bar and placed a $115.00 to go order with the owner. Twenty minutes later I asked the host if he could check on my order. He disappeared then avoided me for five minutes until the owner appeared and told me my order would be up in just a minute. Twenty minutes later the owner brought out my order and blamed her staff. She offered a free appetizer next time I came in. I will never go back. read more

So good! We had momos, paneer naan, lamb kofta curry, masala chai and kheer. Every single item was a hit and the staff kept on checking in with us to make sure all was okay and that our water glasses never ran empty. Lovely place, would definitely recommend. read more

Amazing food, great vibe! Had chicken momos and Kadahi chicken, it was too good and full of flavor. Owners were very warm and welcoming!!! read more

Was in Baltimore for a few hours and decided to give Yelp the opportunity to surprise me with an authentic and hopefully exquisite lunch experience; Himalayan food sounded about right. Even though restaurant wasn't full when I arrived, I didn't take it as a bad sign. There were a few tables still and the place had more people coming in as I was there. I always look at the ambience as part of my experience and this place looked very authentic starting from the employees and their typical attires. There is also beautiful decoration and a section to buy souvenirs right at the entrance. I took advantage of the buffet just to try a little bit of everything. The variety of the food was outstanding and you can feel the smells of Asian and African spices as you get close to the dishes. I personally liked the different preparations for meats some spicy some not that much. Veggies are also presented in different ways allowing one to experiment diferente flavors with a more healthy approach. Don't know when I will be back in Baltimore but if i do, this place is on my list to visit again. Ops! Almost forgot to mention; I spend less than $20 bucks. Win win read more

We learnt about this place through a Groupon last year and the existing reviews seemed good so we gave the place a try. Also, the menu had authentic Nepali dishes. There are lots of Nepali-India, India-Nepali places in Baltimore but this is an authentic Nepali restaurant. Nepali and Indian food are similar but there are some differences, for instance, the Chinese influence in momos which are gingery and have skins similar to Chinese soup dumplings. When we dined in, we got papadums as starters, you have to request for them for delivery, take-out. The food was fresh and the sauces are home-made. Not the cheapest Nepali/Indian joint in town but the food is fresh, tastes home-made (not from spice pack) and the service is great too! read more

The best Indian and Nepali food in Mount Vernon. Everything is amazing. Buffet (pre-covid) was the best. Loved going. Try to order take out or delivery at least once a month. Favorites: any momo, vegetable korma, mutter paneer, and naan. I have never had anything I didn't like and I've eaten here a lot! read more

Terrible take out service. Promised on line discount not given, wait was 30 minutes longer than promised, even after calling and confirming the time, couldn't even FIND the order for ten minutes after arriving . . . The food is o.k. but certainly not worth the aggravation with so many other good choices in Baltimore. If dining in, you're probably o.k., but STAY AWAY from take out or delivery. They just aren't up to it. read more

Have been to Nepal House several times for the lunch buffet and am never disappointed. They have an huge selection of Indian and Nepalese foods that varies depending on the day so you can go 5 times and eat probably 20 different dishes. One of my favorites is the carrot pudding, they don't always have it but it's a must-try when they do. Highly recommend overall! read more

Had food delivered! Chicken tikka masala was amazing and yummy. Great to also have with some mango lassi. I'm used to having a lot of the South Asian food from Texas, so it was so pleasant to see that there is an awesome place like this one right in Baltimore read more

Amazing flavor!!! Especially the curry and butter chicken. Just sublime. The breading on the samosa was very dense and the filling was a little salty. But still pretty good. Also the packaging is not the best for avoiding stains and spills. Just a note read more

Owner/ Manager outside washing the windows. Stopped to thank us and to make sure we enjoyed our experience. Went further to state that if there is ever a problem, to please ask for him and he will remedy the situation as quickly as possible. That kind of service is practically unheard of in today's world of rapid service ('get em in and get em out' mentality). That little conversation ALONE ensured that I will be returning for brunch or dinner in the very near future. read more

We stop at this resturant when we are around Baltimore or passing by. This place is clean with Nepali vibes. The owner and staffs are fabulous. Their food is awesome too. I love their buffet but due to covid they are not doing it right now which is sad. I don't have any complaints so far but just a suggestion - "Thakali thali" nowhere feels like Nepali food. Only "greens" was good in the entire plate. Veg Curry and chicken curry we got were with Indian masala and flavor. Was disappointed because the veg curry was made out of frozen mix vegetables with carrots and corns. I love this place because of their food but I am only disappointed with thakali thali that I got. Although expensive, food is always best here but thakali thali is no where near Nepali taste for the amount we pay. We could have gotten an Indian chicken dish instead for paying for thakali thali. I hope you guys will make changes to the dish. read more

Very good food but the service was slow, even though we were the only people dining in. I would recommend going with and appetite because there is so much to try. My personal favorite was their vegetable regular momos, which is a Nepali Special. They also had a very good chicken sizzler. Good food, slow service. read more

Thali! Thali! Thali! So yum! And the people there are so nice! Like always, I order Nepalese at a Nepali restaurant, so got the thali with rice and goat, chicken momos, and a chai! The thali is quite a lot of food with 2 curries, greens, daal, papadan, and rice/grains. The momos were true to form, and the chai was mild but still decent. They have a few tables out front on the sidewalk, sequestered from traffic by pretty and peaceful greenery. Their service is impeccable and the staff were so kind! Highly recommend this Mount Vernon gem! read more

From the get go, we were impressed. We were offered hand towels to wash our hands, a nice compliment for a small restaurant. We were also impressed by the sun dried crackers that we were served as a "pre appetizer". Here are some other details that we noticed: - there were doilies underneath the sauces. It's the details that count! - the chicken in the non vegetarian platter tasted as moist and decadent as a slice of chocolate cake - the appetizer was small, yet the perfect size for enriching your taste buds - the service was en pointe. My glass of water was never left empty! -we appreciated the general atmosphere (plant life, paintings, candles, etc). The Chicken Tikki Masalla was phenomenal! They have a great portion size and it was cutely garinished with a jalapeño! Like hello, earth to Indian food, they should always do this! read more

Delicious, classy establishment. Waiters were especially professional and responsive.The decor brings you right into the himalayas-- fun, but done with class. read more

Not many varieties in the lunch buffet. The rice was okay and the chicken was good but other than that there were just a bunch of veggie dishes that were kind of bland and not that good. The service was okay, but the waiters kept going back and forth to the buffet which was kind of annoying because it prevented people from taking their time to choose what food to get. One of the staff members was sitting right near the buffet just staring at me and other people while we were eating so it was kind of awkward. read more

Really delicious and fast delivery!! I ordered the Vegetable Korma and Saag Paneer and Garlic Naan and all came piping hot within like 30min of ordering (I live 10min away) -- amazing! Flavor/authenticity was fantastic and I can't wait to order again. read more

Probably my favorite Indian buffet in Baltimore (to be honest I haven't tried many, but no need now that I've found this one). Only $10 or so for a delicious spread of all the Indian foods you could want! Definitely stop by for lunch when you have time! read more

This is some of the best Indian food I've eaten anywhere, and it's even better because some of the dishes are from the Nepal area with flavors I haven't tasted at other Indian restaurants. The Dal Makhani is the best lentil dish I've ever eaten. The Shimp Chili is a unique (for me) Indo-Chinese dish. Everything else is excellent as well. They have a very nice lunch buffet, but if you want the full assortment, you need to order from the menu. read more

This was the best $10 I've spent in a long time. Their delicious Nepali buffet has chicken tikka masala, salad, rice pudding, soup, tea (which tastes like cinnamon and milk), saag paneer, vegetable korma, soft and flavorful naan, masala dosa, samosas, etc. So, SO good. There are spicy sauces, but also non spicy ones (which I prefer). If you're in Baltimore, this is a must, and has great ambiance too. My faves were the yellow rice, tikka masala, masala dosa, samosa, and the veggie korma. read more

I've been a dedicated weekend Indian/Nepali buffet-goer for many moons now, so when we were on the prowl for some chutneys and curries and realized that we had never been here... this was an obvious choice for lunch. And after my experience here, I think I can safely say that though this was my first here, it will definitely not be the last! Not only was the interior beautiful, the food options were scrumptious, too. I'm not a vegetarian, but I like to eat as veggie as possible, and their lunch spread made this more than easy. I loved that they had masala dosas (I forgot how much I missed dosas... I guess spending all that time in South Bay really did a number on me!), Gobi 65 (!!!), and a ton of other delicious meatless options, ranging from vegetable curries to spiced legumes and those traditional Indian pickles (OK, I admit: I wasn't totally veggie on my trip here -- I did taste that chicken tikka masala... which was way better than the ones I've tried elsewhere). Oh, and maybe the best part of our meal was the carrot pudding (!) -- I couldn't help but get the kheer and sweetened tea, but that carrot dessert was new to us, and as I said: the highlight of the afternoon. The service was also very friendly and brought over a couple pieces of naan to us since they were out while we were getting our plates from the buffet station... and they never hesitated answering our questions about the cuisine and cultures. Very nice! Plus, the price was right (exactly the same as other lunch buffets in the area, like... across the street). For a veggie-friendly option full of smiling, friendly faces, I'm definitely headed here. :-) read more

Right off the bat the price is a bit high end but it didn't disappoint. The servers were very polite and very professional. The food freaking amazing!! They even offered us free Naan bread. We ordered Momos and chicken tikka masala, both were definitely some of the best I've had! Definitely recommended. Is in a very convenient location in the hear of Baltimore. The price is worth the food and service. read more

Wow is this place delicious! I've seen this restaurant every time I drive up and down the highway from Glenwood Springs. So glad I stopped! Their food is so flavorful and delishish! Can't wait to return! read more
