The Chili Momo was very hot. Regardless of heat level, the food was incredibly good. The flavor was off the charts. The Pork Kaan was so hot, it was giving me runway model lips. But it was still sooooo good. Smoky flavor, crispy/chewy texture, etc. The momo had a decent amount of filling and the dough was very thin. The samosa chaat was probably the lease impressive . . . but it was still good. The food was nicely packaged in metal to-go containers with plastic lids. It was already stacked well in a plastic bag. The price wasn't terrible. I was out of there for under $50 for 4 dishes. I only have one complaint. The guy taking my order tried to talk me out of the spicy and unique dishes. He said I wouldn't like the Kaan because Americans don't like it. When I said I wanted some dishes extra extra spicy, he tried to talk me out of it multiple times. I didn't mind the guidance, but I don't like the assumption that people like me don't like spicy food. And if I confirm I really do want it spicy, please don't keep trying to convince me otherwise. Despite having to argue for spicy food, the food itself was absolutely fantastic and I can't wait to go back and try some of their other dishes. I was offered two small bottles of water to drink while waiting for my food to be cooked. Definitely a two thumbs up experience regarding the food.

Tried Guras spice house yesterday for the first time and was actually very pleasantly surprised! My…read morehusband drives past here often for work so we decided to give it a try to see if it might be a good takeout place in the future. Ambiance 2/5: a little weird (game machines on the left of entryway when you come in, a "good vibes" neon sign with its lights off, doors a little run down) but the food is very delicious! And inexpensive (eg. a large serving of onion naan for ~$3)! The prices were so reasonable we ended up ordering way too much food. I would come back. It's its own building with a parking lot in front with plenty of spaces to park. Service: only one waitress who was manning both the register and serving all the tables. Service was a little slower since she was running everything but she was very friendly and working hard so we didn't mind. It seemed to be authentic as a lot of the other customers dining in were speaking Nepali! Food wise: My husband ordered the papadum (this is the dried lentil chips you sometimes see as appetizers at other restaurants--it it was served here with tamarind and I think mint chutney?). I'm not really a fan of papadum in general, but the sauces here were good. If you like it at other places you probably will like it here. I think this could probably be skipped (order something else as everything else we tried was quite good). House Muldani Soup: a delicious lentil soup. We were offered multiple spice options -- no, mild, medium, hot, or super hot. We picked mild which was a little too spicy for us bc it turns out we are still wimps to spice but still delicious. 4/5 Next we had the chicken biryani in mild spice level-- the chicken thigh meat was very tender and the rice well spiced. Large portions! It fed us both until we were stuffed and I'm eating it again today as leftovers -- still pretty good. It also came with cucumber raita (cucumbers in yogurt sauce) which was yummy as well and helped bring down the heat level and balance everything. 4/5 But the amazing standouts that really made Guras spice house a 5/5 overall was the incredible onion naan and malai kofta. They were DELICIOUS. This is the best naan I've ever had and it came in as a large flat bread cut into 4 quadrants -- with perfect texture and the onion flavor bursting forth. It tastes AMAZING when dipped into the malai kofta sauce -- which mind you was perfectly dreamy and creamy with a nice balance of tomato flavor. The homemade paneer dumplings were also so soft with a great texture, pairing perfectly with the sauce. Value: 5/5 - The total came out to be $42 or so for all this food and we were stuffed with plenty of leftovers. In summary, get the malai kofta and onion naan!! Also looking forward to trying the mango lassi in the future! (They also have rose water lassi which looked interesting as well)

At first, we were disappointed by the momos because the photos showed them as soup dumplings (similar in style to Chinese xiaolongbaos), so we were expecting them to be steamed and soupy inside, but it was actually just fried. However, it tasted really good with the sauce and spices they added! I would recommend it. The chicken tikka masala was also really rich in flavor and the curry was delicious.

We started with the pork momos as an appetizer. They were big and stuffed with a mixture of meat and some vegetables. The wrapper wasn't too thick or thin. I absolutely loved dipping it in the sauce, be careful as it is way spicier than we thought! If you've never had a momo, I would compare it to a dumpling that you may have in other Asian cultures. The pork thukpta soup was delicious. The broth was flavorful and although it looks spicy, it actually wasn't! There was a good amount of meat in it. The noodles are unique, they taste almost like a pasta. Regardless, everything was delicious and I would check it out if you're looking to try a new cuisine!

Once she gave us a table briefly went over the menu and their specialties. Listed as a Himalayan/Nepalese food place, it's more of a food from Bhutan. Their menu was very impressive. A lot of good options and the food wasn't that expensive either. Ordered Gobi 65 and Samosa Chaat for appetizers. Shrimp Fried Rice, Puri Sabji, Chicken Chow Mein and Goat Curry for the main course. Also ordered a few Mango Lassis. Even before we order, she warned us that the food will take some time to arrive since they prepare it fresh. In around 10 mins, the appetizers arrived. We opted for the Medium spice level for all the food. But it wasn't spicy at all. She give us the chili paste and the hot sauces on the side to cover it. In another 5-10 mins all the dishes were at our table. Really loved the appetizers. Flavor was really strong and loved it. Also enjoyed the Goat Curry and the Chow mein. Very flavorful. The Puri Sabji was a surprise - it was totally different from what we expected. Absolutely loved it! We were so happy that we stopped here instead of a pizza or fast food place. A worth remembering experience. The hostess was so nice and friendly. Amazing service! It's small place, but very well maintained. Casual ambiance. Locals should be really lucky to have such a nice place in their neighborhood. 5 stars from me. Highly recommended place!

Really clean and modern on the inside with entrances on N. 3rd St. and through Strawberry Square. Naan was tasty and crispy as were the samosas and onion rings.
