We visited Nepal House on Michigan Street for lunch around 1:30pm on Sunday (03/29/2026). The place was empty when we first walked in, but it started filling up shortly after, which was nice to see. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, perfect for a chill lunch. We kept it simple with water for drinks and ordered the chili chicken as an appetizer. It leaned more tomatoey than spicy, with a mild heat level, but still really tasty. For mains, we got the Chicken Madras and Khasi ko maasu (Nepali goat curry), both served with white basmati rice. We also ordered the bread basket, which came with naan, garlic naan, and onion naan. Everything paired really well together, super satisfying with both the rice and naan. The server asked about our preferred spice level for the goat curry, and we chose regular. It actually wasn't spicy at all, which worked perfectly for us. Our total came out to around $80, which felt like a great deal considering how much food we had left over, we packed everything up and basically got dinner out of it too. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for something flavorful but still relaxed. Would definitely come back! read more

I stopped by yesterday for a late lunch and was blown away. I started with veggie samosas which were humongous and delicious! I loved the green sauce on the side. It was slightly spicy and complimented them so well. I got full off the 2 samosas and was unable to eat my entree, veggie vindaloo with a side of naan. But, I nibbled it and the flavor was amazing. I boxed it up for lunch tomorrow. They have a robust vegetarian menu and will make some dishes vegan upon request. I'm a fan. read more

Made it back to Nepal House and it was very very good! This time we got the mixed veg pakoras too which were super crispy and honestly some of the best I've had (coming from someone who has had many veg pakoras). The paneer bhurji is also very good and the mango lassi was delicious. They also give complimentary rice with the curries and the service was great. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

I really appreciated that the menu pointed out which dishes could be made vegan. A lot of South Asian dishes will contain ghee or butter and this isn't typically specified on menus at other restaurants in my experience. We ordered the Chana masala and the bhindi. Both dishes were spiced incredible well and tasted awesome. The kitchen was also very fast with my order which was helpful since I needed to catch a flight. Definitely recommend checking this restaurant out! read more

Keep trying to like this restaurant but they fail every-time. We should have just stuck with the momos got carried away and ordered chicken biryani and chicken Chowmien.... Easily the worst noodles I have ever had at any restaurant. Please take it off ur menu because it left such a bad taste and the biryani was overpowering with spices and grease . read more

I have one pic of the chicken samosa because once the rest of the food came out, we devoured it! Convenient location on Michigan & 13th. We ordered chicken samosas, chicken mo mo, chicken tikka and chicken biryani (we needed the protein ). All delicious! Great portions. Great service. It listed as "fine" dining, but overall a casual, chill vibe. Again... food ! read more

Service was pretty good and the place is set up pretty cute like a date spot. My friends and I got the bread basket, lamb biryani, cauliflower, chicken curry, and the fired chicken momos. I would say everything tasted a bit underseasoned except for the fried chicken momos. The naan were a little too flour-y for my liking and the curry tasted a bit watered down. The lamb biryani as you can see by the photo had small portion of lamb. Overall, it was okay. read more

I love this restaurant so much. The food is amazing. Whenever i am in the city, it is by far my favorite restaurant. I usually doordash it since my schedule is usually very busy. Give them a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

I enjoyed some delicious Lamb Korma here on a quieter Thursday afternoon. The serving was plentiful and the curry was incredibly flavorful without being spicy. We also tried the vegetarian momos which came with a delicious sauce and the beautifully baked garlic naan that paired well with the curries we ordered. Service was attentive and the restaurant was clean. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in area looking for a Nepal food fix. read more

It was quite Ok. The noodles and veggie momos were fine. But basic things like Dal and Tandoori roti were missing the mark. We could not finish it. The Dal was too dry, and the roti was so thick and doughy. Also ordered aloo tama bodi, which we had many times before at various places, this one had a strange smell and flavor. When we complained, our server obliged and promptly took it back and removed it from the bill. However, the staff were very nice and polite so credit for that. read more

The food is great, the gentleman who helped me was so hospitable and the restaurant is lively and gorgeous inside ! I arrived inside and was greeted with music I couldn't help but dance to. I placed a take out order and got the vegetable samosas, lamb biryani, and mango lassi Food review : vegetable samosas 10/10 -very large sizes stuffed with fragrant herbs Lamb biryanis 10/10 -so delicious, this was perfectly seasoned and if you can't handle spicy it comes with a white sauce you can use to lessen the spice level. The lamb was so moist and the serving size was large! Mango lassi 10/10 - perfect balance of sweetness and mango flavor read more

Love this place. The momos are so good! You can dine in or order out, either way the food is always good. Fast and easy service and clean environment. read more

Order delivery and food was nicely packaged to ensure nothing spilled during the transport. The food was good, and the portion sizes were abundant. I ordered the fish tikka masala and vegetable samosas. The fish was a bit overcooked but it's expected with Indian cuisine. The samosas were well worth the price. They were large and packed with the delicious, moist potato and peas. Overall will definitely order again! read more

Amazing butter chicken flavors but the red food coloring ruined it for me. I have tried their biryani and butter chicken, both were delicious. Ambience is good and the staff is polite and courteous too. Just please skip the food coloring bit, your flavors are already good. read more

Nepal house is my favorite place to eat close to authentic steamed momos. The chicken stuffing is well balanced and the cover isn't very thick. However, the spicy sauce in the fried momo was a little too sour and the tomato taste was overpowering. read more

Indian reviewing - food is good but very pricey. The goat biryani was dope and full of flavors. Their yogurt is very different from usual indo pak yogurt. Get goat biryani if you like bones otherwise lamb biryani for boneless meat. Butter chicken- it tasted more tomatoey than buttery. It was very red and more on the tomato taste than general butter chicken flavor. Naan- can't go wrong with garlic naan. read more

Great service , food and taste , absolutely loved the hospitality ...Great Nepalese restaurant

Nepal House: A Gem of Indian Cuisine in South Loop, Chicago Nepal House is one of the best Indian restaurants in the South Loop area of downtown Chicago. As an Indian, having such a delightful restaurant just around the corner feels like a blessing! I recently visited on a weekend for a food pickup, and the experience was fantastic. Food: I ordered the Vegetable Biryani, which was a flavorful Hyderabad-style dish with perfectly cooked rice and aromatic spices. The Chili Paneer Gravy lived up to its name--spicy, tangy, and absolutely delicious. The Naan was slightly thicker than I expected, but it was still soft and tasty, and I was able to reheat it for my next meal. What I loved most was that the food was minimally oily yet packed with bold, authentic flavors. It's rare to find Indian food that balances spice and flavor so well! Service: The service was exceptional. When I arrived to pick up my order, I was greeted with a complimentary Masala Chai, which they usually serve to dine-in customers. It was a warm and thoughtful gesture, and the chai was absolutely delicious. My food was ready in just 20-25 minutes, which is incredibly quick for such high-quality dishes. Ambience: The restaurant has a pleasant and comfortable vibe. The decor features subtle Indian aesthetics, and the mild Indian music playing in the background adds to the cozy atmosphere. There's also a bar, making it a great spot for both casual meals and relaxed evenings. Parking and Accessibility: Street parking is available nearby, which is convenient for those driving. For those using public transportation, Nepal House is incredibly accessible: Bus Stops: Michigan & 13th Street (Stop ID: 1812): Right outside the restaurant. Served by Bus #1 (Bronzeville/Union Station) and #3 (King Drive). Michigan & Roosevelt (Stop ID: 752): A short walk south of the restaurant. Served by Bus #1, #3, #4 (Cottage Grove), and #12 (Roosevelt). Train Stations: Roosevelt Station: A 10-minute walk away. Served by CTA Red, Green, and Orange Lines, providing easy access to downtown Chicago, Midway Airport, and other key areas. Harrison Station: A 15-minute walk north. Served by the CTA Red Line. Overall: Nepal House is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Indian food in the South Loop. The flavorful dishes, excellent service, and convenient location make it a standout choice. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, this place is sure to leave you satisfied. I'll definitely be returning soon! read more

I don't know how we haven't eaten here before. We love Indian food and this place is literally 2 minutes away. We dined in last night with some friends. I ordered the butter chicken and my husband ordered the tikka masala. And we ordered the bread (naan) basket for the table. Wow-everything we ordered was so delicious. I tasted my friends biryani that she ordered and I loved all the flavors! It was my first time trying Biryani. It was a Friday night and the restaurant was actually super busy. When we arrived at 6:30 they were maybe at 50% capacity and by the time we left at 8 every table was full. I cannot wait to try more. I'm sure we will be adding this to the regular neighborhood rotation for ordering in. read more

Really enjoyed my meal here. The staff is friendly and sweet. I appreciate that it has traditional food and serves wine! Veggie samosas (which I usually don't like) were fantastic. Chicken pakora were good but could have been crispier. The palak paneer was so good, reg naan was perfect, chicken makhni was okay. I def want to try more of their veggie dishes. They were so sweet and gave us free Kheer at the end. Will be back!!! read more

I visit this restaurant frequently for some of the best chilli momos I have ever had. I have forever been on the search for a good nepali restaurant in the Chicago downtown area and I'm happy to say that my search is now over. The food here is spot on every time. Each time I have been here, the service has been prompt. The ambiance/vibe inside is alright, nothing too fancy but Im sure most people come here for their delicious food and not the ambience. Highly recommend (especially the chilli momos)! read more

the food was great, buttery and crispy bread, flavorful and tender chicken, and a delicious mango lassi. our food came quickly and the staff was very friendly. the prices are fair and the environment was very calm. definitely would recommend. read more

Based on the name I'm assuming their Nepalese food is what shines but we ordered all Indian food that was standard and yummy. The tandoori foods were extremely good, everything else was standard and filling. This is a super accessible entry point at Devon for taking non-Indian people too. Their food is very easily appreciated by all and many vegetarian and non vegetarian options and service is nice too. Spice level was really low on everything we got so if you want more spice be sure to tell them up front. Mango lassi looked quite good. read more

Very mediocre Indian food in every way. Bland. Tasteless. Not spicy at all Even the Nan bread tasted like store bought pita. Not authentic at all. Good portions for the price, but what good is that if I don't want to eat the food. read more

This restaurant has been one of my all-time favorites in the city of Chicago--and that's coming from someone who's a picky eater with low spice tolerance. To start, the mango lassi here is absolutely exquisite. It has a creamy, smooth consistency with a bold mango flavor that makes it a must-order every time. The Nepalese fried chicken momos are a solid appetizer. When it comes to the entrées, sharing with friends is part of the experience, so we usually go for a mix of lamb korma and chicken dishes. You can't go wrong with either the butter chicken or the chicken tikka masala, though my personal favorite is the butter chicken (medium spice level). It's served with a side of white rice, but you have to order their fresh garlic naan on the side--it takes everything to the next level. Not to mention how affordable this place is--as a student, finding high-quality meals that are both affordable and truly satiating is rare, and this spot gets it just right. read more

Had an excellent meal here today. The chicken chili mo mo was insane, the naan was cooked perfectly, the curries were delicious. I had an amazing Masala chai and a really delicious mango desert! The man who seated us, took our order, and brought our food was so kind and helpful and welcoming. The restaurant is clean and pretty with nice table cloths and cloth napkins. Overall great experience, highly recommend! read more

Came for dinner on a Saturday night and had a great meal. We had a reservation, but there were plenty of tables available, but the space itself is not that large. We ordered the fried veggie chili momos, steamed chicken momos and lamb chili masala with aloo paratha. Everything was delicious and we left feeling very full. Our waitress was attentive and they spaced out the food nicely. Extremely fair prices for the portion sizes and would definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more

Finding Indian food isn't too hard around Chicago. It's a little harder finding Nepalese food. Nepal House is one of the few to go to, but it's not extremely unfamiliar, because the food from these countries have lots of similarities. Has some pretty authentic tasting food in a welcoming environment. The prices are kind of high, which is the only bad thing. Actually there's two locations of this locally owned business. It has one of these in the South Loop. This might be the better location for a few reasons. For one, it has a bigger bar. More of a drink selection. It also has more room in general. The last time here we got some of the vegetarian friendly menu. A bad thing is that entrees don't include naan, so you have to pay extra. It's $4 for a few pieces. That's on top of the entree prices. It gets expensive. That's the biggest complaint about this. I had the Palungoko Saag, which is a spinach entree. It's about $17 for a plate. This is fresh spinach sautéed with cumin, dry red chilis, fenugreek, garlic, ginger, and mustard seeds. It was good but too costly. She had the Bhindi Masala, which was sautéed okra and spices. Both of these entrees were spicy enough. The vegetables were cooked until soft without being mushy. Good place for some Nepalese food. It's a lot like Indian food if you didn't know. This is also quite similar to Indian food in high prices. read more

I ordered through Postmates for dinner while I was saying in Chicago for a work trip. Their food is amazing! I ordered the Chicken Tikka Marsala and Naan which was more than enough food that i couldn't finish. Would def come back! read more

The food was so tasty, lots of options for vegetarians. The garlic naan was great and the paneer was amazing, i would recommend it if you like spinach! The service wasn't amazing unfortunetly, though. We did have a large party of 10 people right in the middle of the small restaurant and i understand that they can be hard to manage but we were there for 2 hours! It took a very long time to get our order in & a very long time to get the check. Despite the service, the food was great. read more
