Food was fresh and tasty but slow slow service. Only 3 tables occupied and took over an hour to get our dinners. Lots of takeout orders and they were taking care of those at the expense of the dine-in. Would return for takeout but not dine-in

This has become our favorite Indian restaurant in the Bay Area, worth the 40min drive to Half Moon Bay. The food is consistently good, the portions are generous, and the service warm and friendly. One of my key criteria for Indian restaurants is the quality of their bread, and I am pleased to report that all their nan breads are fantastic! I always order extra so I can take some home and enjoy them the next day.

Oh my goodness! This meal was delicious! My husband and I took our two children (10 & 7) to dinner and we all loved every bite. We started with chicken MoMo which the kids gobbled up. Then had 2 types of naan bread - very yummy. I shared the coconut curry chicken & basmati rice with my daughter. Our son had the full meal with lamb curry, spinach, lentil soup and rice pudding (best rice pudding I’ve ever tried!). My husband had the goat and ate every last morsel. It was all scrumptious and we will definitely be back for more!!

A hidden gem in HMB. While the Coast was packed with traffic on a rare warm and sunny day, we veered off route 1 to visit this great lil spot, tucked away in a mini mall off Main Street. Inside, the restaurant is decorated with prayer flags crisscrossing overhead and permeates with the aroma of familiar Indian spices. If you have never had Nepalese cuisine, it is much like food from India (tandoori, curries, etc), with a regional spin. We ordered palak paneer, tandoori salmon, fried rice dish and goat stew (there were 4 of us). All were delicious and the service was friendly and attentive but not intrusive. We’re so glad we found a new local favorite!
