Was great but the restaurant is now gone and has been replaced by an excellent Thai restaurant called Thai Delight.

This food is quite authentic, except the tandoori prawns, which are more Indian than Nepalese. If you like firey, spicy food, then Nepalese cauisine is not for you. If, however, you want a good sampling of food from the Himalayan Kingdom, then give Kathmandu West a try.

Food is average and leaves a lot to be desired. Would be okay for

someone who likes bland food. Service and ambience are good.

We were totally unsatisfied. The dishes were exceptionally bland (perhaps thats how Nepali food is ;-)) and the potions weren't very large. If you like Indian food, I would strongly recommend that you do not try this restaurant.

I was very disappointed here. The portions are small, and the price atrocious; and while the menu may sound exotic, the food is not. Quality of cooking is very uneven.

Nepalese cuisine is very interesting. Indeed, while they it uses spices similar to Indian cuisine, the taste is different.

Service at the restaurant is good, and the food is tasty though not even close to hot. Also, they have a tendency to use too much salt. The portions they save are VERY SMALL by American standards, and this is a big disincentive. I would call the restaurant overpriced for the quality and quantity of food it serves.

Another great find in Cupertino. Excellent service and terrific food at very reasonable prices. Not as spicy as Indian food with all the flavor. We eat there at least a couple of times a month.

Really enjoyed eating here. The decor was absolutely lovely, with very detailed wall hangings. Wonderful atmosphere. It was our first time, so we ordered the Hermit's Feast - both vegetarian and carnevors version - both were excellent. The Charo Ko Ledo Sekuwa was my personal favorite ( I substituted for the combination that came with the Hermit's Feast), but my stepson loved the combination. My husband loved the vegetarian version, and even my 8 year old raved about the dahl. We will definately be going back - soon.

I found this place a few years ago, and still rate it as one of the best restaurants in the area. Portions can be somewhat small, but the food is excellent. For anyone who hasn't experienced Nepali food, it's like Indian, but without the strong spices. Most dishes are fairly mild, but extremely flavorful. Favorites are the Charo Ko Ledo Sekuwa and the Mismas Sekuwa, but we have tried many of the dishes and all were good. Lunchtime buffet it good, but unfortunately my favorites are not normally on the menu! If you like mango lassie, try it here, it's pretty good:-)

1. The service is great. You feel really welcome. 2. The food was great. Appetizers, are delicious, and main dishes superb. There are many things to try and I shouldn't stick to only one thing. 3. My favs? Tandoori Chicken for main dish, and Momo for apetizer. 4. The only catch is the price. But its worth it.

I eat here at least once every couple of weeks (for good reason). The best things are the grilled lamb dishes which are available in several ways, and a kind of dumpling called Momo. If you like Indian "Chai" you'll also like the Nepali "Chiya" tea. The servers are also amongst the nicest people I know!

Dinner was disappointing, as the food was too bland. It needed curry or other spices. Lots of potato dishes if you like that sort of thing. Poor wine list for the cuisine.

The Charro ke Ledo Sekewa (sp?) is my all-time favorite chicken dish. It's chicken in a creamy tomato sauce, and it tastes wonderful. The portions have gotten smaller during the last year, but it's still excellent!

We tried the lunch buffet and were very pleased with the variety and quality. The mushroom and eggplant dishes were particularly good, well-seasoned but not too hot. An excellent value!

Decent food with the minimum of oil. They do not have as much variety as Indian restaurants do. The decor and service though, are excellent.

A great place to visit particularly for the people who like Indian kind of food but prefer to go little of the beaten track.I have tried a couple of vegetarian dishes and liked 'Gundruk' the best.(Cabbage & potatoes cooked in spicy tomato sauce.) I strongly recommend 'Chia'- a Nepalese tea made up of milk & mildly flavored with spices.Portions are little small.The place gets full on Friday evenings & sometimes you need to wait.But it's worth waiting!

The food here is very good, and consistent. Like the others here, I definitely recommend the dahl, and eggplant dish. Service is erratic.

This place is great. Been there for lunch buffet many times and will be back. The food is similar to the Indian buffets that are so popular. They use fresh ingredients - not frozen, and it is prepared fresh each day starting at 8AM. The results show. Highly recommended.
