Warm, lively Nepalese/Indian spot with flavorful curries, kind service, and broad veggie options; value is fair to slightly pricey since rice is often extra and service can slow at peak or when delivery orders surge.

Restaurant Summary

This lively curry house near Campo Pequeno feels warm and bustling when the room fills, with staff who many describe as kind and welcoming. One diner summed it up: "They remembered us and seemed genuinely happy we returned." However, there are some review authenticity concerns around polarized opinions and occasional marketing-style praise, though overall signals remain positive. The cooking leans classic Nepalese and North Indian, favoring comforting curries like butter chicken, tikka masala, and saag. Heat levels are flexible, naan is a staple, and vegetarians are well served. Expect traditional flavors more than chef theatrics, with occasional misses on momos or dessert texture. Families do well here thanks to familiar kid-friendly dishes—butter chicken, mild korma, rice, and naan. The current menu shows many vegetarian and some gluten-free options. Rice is often separate, so plan portions accordingly for younger diners.
