Gift Tips
- Try the lunch buffet if you want to sample a wide mix of Indian and Nepali dishes in one visit.
- Ask about the Nepali items on the menu, especially if you want dishes you may not find at a typical Indian restaurant.
- Set your spice level when ordering, since dishes can be prepared mild or with more heat.
- Start with the complimentary naan and sauces to get a feel for the meal right away.
- Consider ordering momos, biryani, or chicken tikka masala for a mix of popular house favorites.
- Ask for the garlic naan, which is often a strong match with curries and buffet plates.
- Explore the Nepali dishes like momos, kwatti, or Nepali thali for something a little different from a standard Indian menu.
