The Chana masala ended up being my favorite, and the butter chicken was my boyfriend's favorite, and the portions were big enough that we could've shared.

The decor and friendly staff made the restaurant very welcoming. Can't wait to come back and try new items.

The outer layer was nicely crisp without being too greasy, but the dough was a bit on the thicker side. Inside, the chicken filling was mild but still flavorful. The sauces on the side were decent.

We went around 6pm and were able to find parking and no line for ordering. We ordered fried momo, steamed momo, chili momo, and butter momo. Took about 15 minutes. Young man at the counter was incredibly friendly and helpful with our questions. The chef is from Nepal I believe and he's kind and a wonderful cook! Chill momo was the of the show. Bursting with the flavors and spices. Each momo is coated. You'll get onions and bell peppers as well. This was my favorite of all the momo. It is spicy-ish, but everyone's spice level is different. I love spice so this I'd recommend to anyone who also enjoys spicy foods. Butter momo would be the closest to first place for me. I'd suggest this one for someone who doesn't want spicy. Similar sauce to the curry that comes with butter chicken. Sweet and creamy. They give you plenty of sauce and it's delicious. Fried & steamed chicken momo were wonderful and classic. Our friend who dined with us is from Nepal and said she believes this might be the most authentic place for momo. our/her other momo spot is Indian-Nepali kitchen. This place also had fried rice and chow mein and a couple of other options that we will certainly be back for to try. You won't regret coming here, there's no bad option on their menu and you'll leave feeling happy and full.

Shahi korma - I did not try this because my friend ordered this as spicy but she said it was good.

We may go higher next time. Samosa was delicious. Ratio of filling to wrap was perfect. The Aloo Gobi was perfect! The chicken Tikka Masala was excellent. Overall a great experience.

Vindaloo came with rice and I would try 4 star next time. Zesty as listed in the menu is spot on. Love it! I was worried the momos (10ish) would just be standard dumplings and was pleased with the ingredients before trying the sauce which complimented them nicely. The dish would be an excellent appetizer to share for 3-5 easy. I would have ordered a smaller portion but maybe I missed it. Take home it is! Big enough place for several groups and the tables are spaced so it doesn't feel crowded. I arrived towards the end of the night so not busy, but still several parties. Prompt service, cozy lighting, and casual pop sounding music at conversation volume. Part of Lake Forest Park Town Center, there's plenty of parking. Temperature was a bit warm for my liking but not a distraction.

We tried their chicken momocha, steamed dumplings, 6 pieces for $13. Unfortunately, they were only lukewarm. They had a long line; I suspect the dumplings are not getting reheated for long enough. I know they are all fully-cooked/steamed and brought here to be warmed and served, so I wasn't concerned about food poisoning. Each momo is well stuffed, densely packed and meaty (much better than the momo food truck in Tulalip) with a pleasantly thin skin. Overall quality of the momo is in fact very good. We are only disappointed that they are lukewarm. The medium sauce is excellent. The pop-up menu has less options compared to the physical restaurant and cost more. The same chicken momocha, steamed dumplings cost $14.95 for 10 pieces if the online menu is accurate. That is a much better price. I still want to try their pan-fried version. Those look good.

Coconut curry, sandheko aloo (potatoes) and chicken followed - and did I mention the sandheko was amazing? We were in & out in 45 minutes, and timed things well, it really filled up by the time we were done.

But Indian-Nepali Kitchen is one of Seattle's most sought-after spots for affordable eats. But don't sleep on the rest of INK's broad menu of South Asian fare -- The Infatuation magazine even considers it to be one of the best restaurants in the city, full stop. INK shares a strip mall with a bodega and nail salon. Black cushioned chairs are pressed up to lacquered wood tables, and the tan walls are decorated with an assortment of cultural tchotchkes. Bollywood music videos play on the main dining room's single flatscreen, while images of Nepali mountain ranges flash on the screen in the accessory dining room. My partner and I dined at INK for weekday dinner on our drive up to the North Cascades, and we had the dining room to ourselves. Only a handful of takeout patrons rolled through during our visit. We kicked off our meal with the Mixed Appetizer. The Vegetable Pakora component was a consensus hit. The rich, crispy bites functioned well on their own and were fun conduits for the fragrant mint sauce and the tart tamarind sauce. In comparison, the samosas were forgettable, sporting overwhelmingly thick shells and hit-or-miss fillings. Of the three varieties, only the earthy ground lamb was worth finishing. Next, we tried the Combo Momo platter. Admittedly, the signature momos were surprisingly mediocre. Across the varieties, the wonton-like Fried Momo was the clear winner with its exciting texture without overpowering the delicate filling flavor. Meanwhile, the standard steamed momos tasted like something out of the frozen section, the Chili Momos were dominated by fast-food-quality sweet-and-sour sauce, and the Sandheko Momos had an unassuming, generally savory curry flavor (which was far outdone by the tangy side of house chutney). For our entree, we were very impressed by the Butter Curry Lamb. The thick curry broth was vibrant and dynamic; we sipped it by the spoonful. The tough lamb felt like an afterthought. The Garlic Basil Bread wasn't particularly basil-y, but the naan slices were pillowy, flaky, and addictively buttery. To drink, we shared an Iced Chai. The tea was more spiced than sweet; the average Starbucks patron might turn their nose up to it, but the light drink was a welcome contrast to the dense entrees. For dessert, we opted for the Gulab Jamun: the ping pong-sized cheese balls were deceptively dense, each packing a rich, syrupy punch. The service was quick and efficient, and our bill worked out to about $75 (after tax and tip). The flavors topped out at very good, but never quite achieved greatness. The portions were generous -- we probably could have done without the momos and still had a satisfyingly hearty meal. For a no-frills meal that will, at a minimum, be tasty, INK is a safe bet.

Prince was working front of house by himself literally running to get to everyone and making naan as well. Anyway our worries were for naught because we were thoroughly impressed by the food. We got the tandoori chicken which was juicy and tender, with a good char to it. The sauce to complement it was perfect too. The chili garlic naan was crisp and great for dipping into all the different dishes we got as well. Bhindi masala was bursting with flavor and we chose tofu as our protein which soaked up all that savoriness. Saag paneer was creamy and generous with the amount of paneer. We also got a small side of basmati rice but it was enough for 3 of us and cooked perfectly. The mango lassi was not too sweet (the highest of compliments!) They seem to be a family business so I feel extra great supporting them. The place was decorated nicely and the seating was comfortable. We thought the prices were fair for such delicious food and portion sizes. There was a bit of a wait to get the food but it was well worth the taste! I look forward to returning to try more of their menu.

The onion bhaji was nicely done, and the pakora was especially good with a subtle chili kick. For the mains, it was a mixed bag.

The malai kofta, on the other hand, was just average and not something I'd order again (it came with rice). Big plus: parking and seating were both easy. Overall, a good spot with some real highlights.
