OMG. Don't walk to this place. Run!! This place is the real deal. I wanted some momo so stopped by. Ordered the small chicken momo, and thinking that wouldn't be enough I ordered a chicken skewer with rice. The momo came and was fantastic. Bigger than I thought so I stopped at three. Then the skewer came and I was expecting one small skewer and a little rice. To my surprise it must have been two large skewers and a large mound of excellent rice. And broccoli, brussel sprouts and peppers!! The flavor of everything was amazing! They also brought a large bowl of a spectacular sauce. All the spices and flavors were simply amazing!! I come to Santa Clara for work from the east coast and can guarantee I'll be back here every time I'm in town. I can't recommend highly enough! Nice low key location. Excellent service. And very friendly people. You can't go wrong here.

What a wonder owner Julie is. She had the perfect venue for my friends daughter birthday . Plenty of eating, dance floor and room for a mechanical bull. 2 bathrooms which was a plus. I plan to keep her place in mind for future events.

Went here for lunch. The friendly host helped us find a table. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and is spacious. We ordered the veg and chicken (kothey) momos along with the mustang aloo. Everything was very flavorful. The momos frankly didnt need any sauce with it. Also the green covering of the veg momo actually had spinach instead of green food color that some of the other places use. Mustang aloo was also tasty. Spicy, kinda crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Will be back here for more.

My husband and I recently visited this Nepali restaurant, and overall, we had a really good experience. We ordered the chicken Jhol Momos and the combo skewer platter that came with both chicken and lamb, served with a side of rice. The food arrived fresh and well presented. The chicken Jhol Momos were absolutely delicious — rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. They were easily the highlight of the meal for me. The skewer platter, however, was a bit of a mixed experience. The chicken skewers were juicy and flavorful, but the lamb was unfortunately very tough and hard to chew, so both my husband and I ended up leaving it. Our friends ordered the veggie Jhol Momos and the Nepali Thali, and they really enjoyed their dishes. The restaurant serves halal food, which is definitely a plus. The ambiance was lively and welcoming, and it seemed quite popular since most tables were full. Portion sizes were generous, and the prices felt reasonable for the amount of food served. Overall, it’s a great place to try if you’re craving authentic Nepali flavors. I’d happily return for the chicken dishes, especially the Jhol Momos, but I’d skip the lamb next time.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked especially the momos, which were juicy and full of authentic taste. The staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome right away. The restaurant was clean and had a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. You can really tell they care about quality and customer satisfaction. Definitely one of the best spots in California for authentic Nepalese and Himalayan food. Highly recommend trying the chicken and veggie momos they’re incredible!
