Best Nepalese Restaurants in Upper Lake

Came here for my birthday and it was great! The staff were so kind and had great recommendations to accommodate 7 people sharing food. The food was delicious, along with their cocktails having such a variety. I would definitely come back

We very much enjoyed our dinner and found the wait staff to be very friendly. I would comment that the wine list is limited and quite expensive. we will definitely return.

I can’t say enough about Base Camp. The food is authentic and full of flavor. The staff are kind and welcoming. My love for the comfort of Nepalese cuisine has been completely fulfilled by this place. The ribs, mo mo’s, and street style lo mein did not disappoint. Can’t wait to go back and try their curried dishes! It’s a popular spot, so reserve in advance and tip generously ~*

Always good food and great service. We’ll be back.

Tried Rara for the first time with my family. I’ve had Nepali food before, they have not. All of us enjoyed Rara. Service is casual, so it can take a bit of time to flag down a waiter, but it’s on par with other similar restaurants. Cozy ambience. Some of the food is very spicy, and not always clearly marked as such, so definitely ask before you commit. Standouts for us were the gorkhali lamb shank (fell off the bone and the rice was great too), the momos (we didn’t think there was a need to get the sizzler, so we just got the regular momos), and the very spicy mushroom chhoila. We also enjoyed the goat taas (also pretty spicy) and the paratha. The lassi was also good (and helpful with the spicier food). We didn’t try the curries but they also looked very good; it seems like they do a really good job with slow cooked meats or really anything that has to braise/simmer. Definitely a good place to order family style so that you can try everything (they don’t make it obvious that you can do it that way). Flavors were rich and deep, but the food wasn’t overly heavy either - really well-cooked. Will definitely go back!
