    Unfortunately, this place has poor service that heavily impacts the dining experience. We came here for lunch on a Friday, and we were the only people in there for a while. When we sat down, the booth was dirty (see pic). Throughout the meal, my water and Diet Coke were left empty. We were never checked on. I had to get up and find a server to ask for a water refill because my party and I were thirsty and realized no one was coming to check on us. The food is tasty! However, some of the buffet dishes were lukewarm. I will go here again because I want to see if they were perhaps having an off day, but today's experience was disappointing.

    I got the Chana masala (spice four) + rice + coconut naan for less than the price of the lunch buffet! It was super good, and I loved everything. The Chana was the best part! My friends liked the buffet.

    Thanks Kathmandu for handling our large group and making the food portion of our teacher development day amazing! Thanks for all you do. The food, the space, the service=all excellent!

    friendly staff and delicious food. If you're in the area and craving South East Asian food, I'd stop by and get your fix.

    Veggie Vegetable Momo (Vegan)
    Corynn B.

    This is my go-to for delicious Indian and Nepalese food. I've thoroughly enjoyed every meal I've had here! I always start off with their veggie momo - it's the tastiest little dumpling of deliciousness with a wonderful dipping sauce. It comes with 10 momo and is a perfect appetizer to share. As a creature of habit, I always get their saag paneer. It's a delicious blend of spinach, onions, paneer, and seasonings. All of their dishes come with a side of rice, and it's a huge portion of rice - I always have leftovers. They have regular naan, garlic naan, and cheese naan. I would recommend upgrading to the cheese naan, it's SO good! The service here is quick and the dishes come out fast and fresh. I've had a great experience every time I've come, and I always look forward to coming back.

    Love Kathmandu, it's great we live so close by as it always satisfies the cravings for great Indian food. Medium spice is just perfect here, our to go is the Saag Paneer, Mixed Veg Coconut Korma (theirs is honestly perfect), and the Chicken Tikka with Naan. Service is always fast. We don't dine in often but the ambiance is quite nice.

    Chicken Tikka Massala
    Annie B.

    Staff was friendly! Very clean place, comfortable booths! I ordered chicken tikka masala, the curry however didnt strike me, it does not have the curry flavor I was expecting. The spicy level I got was 5 it was a really good spice level for people who love spicy food! The chicken pieces were really big. The naan was naan I haven't had before, it was more like flatbread. There's better places, I haven't tried their nepal food tho.

    We've been coming to Kathmandu for over a decade and it remains one of our favorite India restaurants. Today we had the garlic chicken, lamb dumplings, naan, and spiced tea for lunch. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and peaceful. It's a perfect place for business meetings. Service was quick.

    No wait time when we went on a Wednesday evening around 6pm. The service was speedy, the food was DELICIOUS and priced very well. We shared two dishes and had leftovers to take home. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

    Honestly, this place is really gone downhill. I'm not sure what's going on in the kitchen, but I do know, everything I ordered via Uber delivery today was tasteless and watery. Dissatisfied on many levels. Not to mention $68 later.

Inside the restaurant had very lovely, eye-catching decor. I was greeted and welcomed warmly immediately by what seemed to be the owner. Inside was somewhat busy for lunch but I was seated right away. When my order was taken, I planned on getting the same items as before, but my server was kind enough to suggest some new dishes to me. He recommended the paneer masala and garlic naan. Convinced me on the spot, and the flavors did NOT disappoint. I like my food spicy and had the paneer masala made very very hot. The gravy was perfect. The naan was fresh, crispy, airy, and paired nicely with the paneer masala. My order came with a side of rice, which was a nice alternative to the naan. The employees made their rounds often to make sure all customers were satisfied and enjoying. For dessert, I decided on warm gulab jamun. The order came with four, and was very yummy. Highly recommend if you're craving delicious Indian food in the area. I believe they also have other locations in nearby cities/towns.

We went in without huge expectations since the menu plays it pretty safe, but the Chicken Mumbai Masala genuinely impressed us--rich, flavorful, and easily better than the Tikka Masala. The Lamb Biryani was decent, though not particularly memorable. Garlic Naan was fine: soft and approachable, but missing that charred, tandoor-kissed flavor I love. Service was warm and friendly, and the owner personally stopped by to check on our experience--a nice touch. The ambiance is interesting too: warm, almost mountain-lodge vibes decked out with Indian cultural décor. Reasonable prices, a great location, and reliably good food. Mumbai House may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a dependable choice when the Indian food craving hits.

My flights were delayed and I was happy to find the place open on the way to my hotel. I was greeted by a handsome young man who seated me immediately and filled my water.

I was hoping for something more in line with other Indian places I've been that have chicken tikka masala, but most of what we saw here were bowls. It's a fast casual concept-you can either order at the counter and watch your meal be assembled in front of you or order at the large screen inside the entrance. Ordering at the counter seemed to be much faster-which is what my mom and sister did. I used the screen to order and waited about ten minutes after they had their food for mine to be ready. My mom, sister and I each got different bowls and found them to be ok. I was a little disappointed at the ratio of chicken to rice-there was so much rice! The flavor was good, although a touch too spicy for my liking. All in all, I think it might be a great place if the menu is what you like. I might return and try something different.
