Rude customer service. Need to set up job related 20-person party at this place and the guy was absolutely and disgustingly rude. For example, since there are two Nepal house restaurants in the area, I merely asked if these two are affiliated so I can set up dinner on either of the two places but the response I got is, "why do you need this kind of information?" Not to mention he hung up on me twice when I spoke Nepali to show my respect to the culture. When asked on the third call, he retorts, "Speak English!". Wow! I don't know about the food but the service I got even before I stepped into the restaurant was repugnant! They just lost themselves a huge customer base with potential of more. read more

I had the vegetarian chow mein and it was so delicious! Spicy, but not the kind that burns, the kind that clears out your sinuses . The masala tea had a very cardamom and pepper flavor and was just the right amount of sweetness. The music and decor were spot on and the staff was friendly. read more

Phenomenal Indian/Nepalese cuisine in the South Loop, just a short walk from Rosevelt Station and Soldier Field. The best service I have ever have, so attentive and ready to help! You absolutely have to try the Chicken Soup, it has a thick base similar to lentil and such incredible flavors. So filling. Price cant be beat either- a must-try spot! read more

Excellent food, great portions, reasonable prices! The naan was incredible, highly recommend the combo meal, easily feeds 3-4! read more

I had a wonderful time at Nepal House! I usually don't come downtown to eat Indian food but I'm so glad I did ! This food is amazing and so are the drinks. The host was amazing and showed us so much love ! Not too big and not too small the perfect space for a date night. The prices are pretty good and the music they play puts you at ease ! Thank you to the staff at Nepal house for making my date night beautiful. read more

Great and consistent quality, good variety and options, great service. Lamb Biriyani and Butter Chicken are great, Samosas are tasty

Cozy & tasty! Be sure to get Masala tea! The chicken Samosa was delicious, as was the vegetable momo. We also got the Naan breadbasket, which was huge! read more

Nepal house came across as a smaller, more homey version of Curry house and India house, and I think that added to the appeal. Everything I tried in the lunch buffet was very good and I especially liked the okra, Butter Chicken, kheer (not amazing but I was glad they had it), and spinach with paneer. The price was also very reasonable at ~$15 per person before tax and tip. Although there were fewer options than other, similar restaurants I thought that the food was of good, consistent quality and there were enough options to satisfy. Add that to the very reasonable price and I think I have a new go-to indian buffet read more

Delicious food and warm friendly service. The man who served our table went out of his way to be helpful and packed extra things in our leftovers bag. read more

Love this place. I order to my house and I've walked over there. I don't know if it's authentic but it taste amazing. When I walk in the owner is always super nice. And the wait for my food never takes too long. read more

My partner and I went a few nights ago with some friends of ours and had a pleasant and tasty dinner. The staff was nice enough to throw in a very fine rice pudding after we'd paid the bill. Would recommend the veggie samosas and dal fry. read more

Met here for lunch before hitting up the Field Museum. Their $15 lunch buffet is quite small compared to most places I've been to, but granted this is a downtown location, so I can't say much for the value. Service is miff, but we did get our orders of warm naan as soon as we could flag down a waiter. The food seemed to have a lot of sodium as after the meal, felt very thirsty. The mango pudding dessert was good and happy to see a bhel puri snack section. The location is why we came here as the museum is walking distance and we got a chance to walk off all the food we had. read more

This was my first time getting Indian food and it definitely did not disappoint. Everything was hot and fresh and the taste was more than I imagined. I enjoyed and recommend the lamb tikka masala, butter chicken, chicken samosas, and mango lassi. Plus the garlic naan was one of the biggest stars of the meal. The customer service is really good and they were able to adjust the spice to the meal since I'm not to big of a fan of spice. I'm so excited to take family and friends there after trying. 10/10!!! read more

We ordered takeout to try this place since they offer a $10 off special online code (NEPAL10) if your order is greater than $35 at their website. The food was delicious. We ordered two veggie entrees - Baigan Bharta (roasted eggplant with spices) and Bhindi Masala (okra stewed in spices). Their Garlic Naan was soft and tasty. We also ordered the Kashmiri Naan (pineapple, cherries, walnuts) which was lightly sweet and just perfect. Both Mango Lassi's were fantastic! Please note they are closed on Mondays but their sister restaurant Chicago Curry House (several blocks away) is open on Mondays. Service was good. I plan to order again next week from Nepal House. read more

One of the most consistent Indian cuisine in the city! I eat here and The Chicago Curry house often. They are very clean, always nice, and most importantly, the food is always consistent. The butter chicken is a hard dish to make, but they have mastered it in my humble opinion. Also, few places get the mango Lassie right because they used less mango and more water with yogurt. But here, they use more mango which makes it taste fresher and the yogurt makes it taste creamier. The owner and staff are great hosts and know how to provide an excellent customer experience. Overall, one of my favorite restaurants hands-down! read more

We stopped in one day for lunch and ordered some lunch specials and some samosas. The samosas may have been the best we've ever had. My husband ordered momos and really enjoyed them. I don't eat meat, so I ordered a Veggie entree. It was extremely flavorful, fresh, and hot. We really enjoyed this place! The staff was also very friendly. read more

I ordered about $60 dollars worth of food, and I wasn't disappointed. Great flavors, a large variety of foods.

First time at Nepal house and I was not impressed. The restaurant looks really old on the inside and the food wasn't the best. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't something I would come back for. The service was overall good. read more

Ordered palak paneer and chicken makhani, both were delicious. Food came out quickly and our waiter was very friendly. We were even given a complimentary mango lassi. Will be returning! read more

Five Stars PLUS for the Chicken Biryani! Yes! Savory moist chicken embedded in yellowish orange spiced rice. Each bite is a taste of heaven. The raita with its spices, carrots, tomato, and other minced vegetables drizzled on top of the Chicken Biryani puts a pleasant and satisfying twist on the sweet heat. read more

Food has improved a lot over the last year. Maybe they have new chef or finally they are busy enough to get food to be fresher. Taste has improved with butter chicken. read more

Delicious meals and great service. We had the chicken tikka masala and naan. It has a relaxed family restaurant vibe.

Food? Delicious. Service? Great. Music? playing nothing but the hits. Atmosphere? Upscale but cozy 10/10 definitely recommended And the juice our waitress just gave us was so good. This is officially my new favorite spot for Indian food and now i can't wait to go back. read more

Delicious Indian food in the South loop- I haven't had Indian food in a while, and I usually had dined at lunch buffets only. However, this time around, we came for dinner and ordered off a menu. Luckily, I remembered some of the popular dishes that I enjoyed. The service was quick and only seemed to take a while because we were so hungry and excited to eat. We ordered the garlic naan- naan is a must along with the flavorful saucey dishes in the Indian cuisine. This was deliciously soft and perfect pull apart texture. We also ordered the tandoori chicken half portion and lamb tikki masala. This was the perfect amount of food to leave us very happily full. I couldn't even tell that the lamb was not chicken, but the sauce was flavorful and yummy. The tandoori chicken had nice spices and was also delicious when dipped in the sauces too. Overall, we had a great food experience here and were contently stuffed after this meal. Great prices for good portions of food. read more

We were cruising in lake michigan on Sunday night and found this place on yelp. We took the uber from the loop as it was closing in 45 minutes so thought instead of walking - took uber. We reached around 8:55PM and the person at the front desk was not at all welcoming. I would just suggest that if the time was running over - then please suggest your future guests 'we can't take you as we are closing in 30 minutes' instead 'we will be closing in 30 min' with a rude expression. Anyways, can't complain about the chicken momos- they were great and dip was amazing. We ordered garlic naan, paneer bhurji and dal for the entree. The bread was great but the vegetable and dal was bland (added salt in my dish). I wanted to give just 2 stars as the service was not at all pleasing but will give 3 as I loved the chicken momos. read more

I just had dinner at the Nepal House. I had come here as an always enjoyed the Curry House in Highwood and on Plymouth and knew they had good food. Alas, this evening was a problem, but it's not really the food. First off, the staff is lovely. Absolutely lovey. The samosa was delicious and the naan was as good as any I've had. The main was fine but not the best. HOWEVER, the place does a major delivery business and the Grub Hub, Uber Eats, Door Dash or whatever drivers were coming in and talking or watching videos on speaker phone. It really made the dining environment dreadful. The management needs to address this and tell these drivers to either wait outside or take their phones of speaker. Constantly having to listen to calls or videos (one explicit and profane, using the n word) while I dine just doesn't work. I can't recommend if you want a pleasant environment. Turn off the speaker phones and this gets two more stars. read more

worst butter chicken ever. chicken was very stale and they refuse to take ot back. It doesn't even taste like butter chicken

My go-to place for halal and desi food. The service is always wonderful and the food is great!

4 stars for food but overall 3 stars for service and attitude. Here is the short scoop..... This was our first trip to Nepal House and we wanted to order their Lamb Sekuwa since its chef recommended (in red font and all on the menu), but sadly they didn't have it since its a 'new menu'. I didn't understand the correlation of a new menu and non availability of their chef recommended dish. That said, we were pleasantly surprised by the food that was available. Although, not authentic Nepalese, our Chicken biryani, the Lamb Khasi and keema nan were all well prepared. The food alone would warrant a visit again! However, between their service and certain charges such as a $7 corkage and $2 for a few slices of raw Onions (a staple with Indian food), we might only do takeout or delivery. They don't close until 10 but by 9:15 during our meal, the server came twice to remove the pickle and chutney container, since it had to be washed before closing. Did I mention, we were still only half way through our meal? For a restaurant that's almost always empty, they can make some very minor tweaks that would earn them repeat customers including myself....oh, well one can hope! read more

I love Indian food and have recently moved to the city so I figured I'd give this place a go. I wanted to love it, but the food here is severely underwhelming. I ordered the vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan for takeout. The samosas were ok if a little underdone. The garlic naan was really doughy. The chicken was so dry, the sauce super watery, and the rice was not cooked enough. I also found a black hair in my food... Very disappointed. read more

First off the food was lovely and they adjusted spice levels. They were extremely knowledge and careful about verifying and offering gluten free options. Not only that, they were attentive and friendly. I would go back again! read more

The food here is truly excellent. Went with my gf and we got the goat biryanis, Mahi Mahi, samosa, and garlic naan. All of the food was bustling with flavor. Adding to the experience is the really great and friendly service. Can't recommend this enough if you are looking for great Nepalese food read more

Food was great! Everything was delicious. We ordered the meal for 2 non vegetarian. The service was awesome. I will be returning

The food was amazing, staff extremely helpful and kind. The atmosphere is really lovely, I would definitely return here again.

We ordered takeout through postmates getting palak paneer, veggie samosa, tandoori naan, vegetable chow mein Nepali style, chicken makani (butter chicken) and the cheese pakora. All i can say was it was delightful. Perfectly done! Best Indian food I've had since moving to Chicago. Will be ordering again! read more

Best Nepali restaurant in Chicago! Food was portioned very well and just as delicious. Our server Alina was so sweet and well versed on the menu. My family had the veg/ non veg combo and veg momos ( one of the best veg momos I've had) . read more

Sometimes you just have to drive the two and a half hours into Chicago to eat at your favorite Indian food place. We discovered Nepal House on a trip to Chicago a few years ago and now literally make up excuses to eat there. Oh, you need a ride to the airport? Awesome, we'll take you (and then eat at Nepal house ). No seriously though, the food is that good. Very nice atmosphere too (clean, quiet, attentive). We've been there on quiet days and busy days and the food and service are always good. Try their spiced tea or Mango lassis too with dinner. read more

Probably the best Indian/Nepali type buffet I have had in a long while.....everything tasted authentic and fresh. Love their Lentils, basmati rice, tandoori chicken, samosas and lamb. The mix of seasonings and flavors are done very well. One of the ladies seemed overwhelmed with patrons, she was supposed to give us a YELP discount and she did not, I had to ask for someone else to honor the 10% off coupon. You will not be disappointed. Located on 13th and S Michigan. If you are taking public transportation, easily accessible by bus 3 or 4 ..or.. the Roosvelt CTA station. read more
