Nepali Kitchen And Chai Garden

Stumbled upon this cute little nepalese gem of a place! Beautifully decorated and thoughtfully designed. Food was great, service was even better. Thank you

A lovely garden setting for eating. The food is ordered through a window and then you choose a table. There were outdoor tables and several small structures with tables inside. Several vegetarian options. The spicy salsa was delicious

When the day is hot and you have been out exploring… What you want is an oasis and that is what the Nepali kitchen and Chai Garden is, a magical and mysterious oasis. I cannot tell you how inviting and special the place is, how you come around the corner and how welcoming and mysterious it is. I was charmed from my grizzled and scraggy beard down to the tips of my ancient old toes. The owner was beyond kind and welcoming, patient with this old and exhausted traveler. I felt transported to a far off land. I have traveled often in my life, to many exotic and distant places and so in someways, it felt like I was coming home. And the food was great. I loved the Keema Noodles and how often do you find Momo outside the mysterious lands? I found the small private tea houses charming and the gardens to be the perfect place of refuge. Nepali Kitchen is such a surprise, such a little wonder, as if you had wandered into a small novel and you were the pilgrim off on a trek to the top of a mountain, or maybe it was a dream of peace and meaning. Whatever it was the people were nice and the food was good.

This is a smaller and very specific kind of restaurant. The menu is pretty small, but I think the options are good... If you like curry. The prices seemed reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. And, they have vegetarian options. Parking is street only. It's right on Fremont so, depending on the time of day, it could get very busy and tricky to find close parking. If you live in the neighborhood it is easier to just walk. (That's what we did) It wasn't busy at noon on a Thursday, though there is limited seating and the seats are all basically outside. They have cute little booths that are netted off and covered. It could get a bit hot depending on the time of day. You need to go up stairs to get to the restaurant, so this could be challenging for someone using a walker or wheelchair.

Awesome spot, the cheese momos and paratha were both amazing for lunch on a hot day. The chai is top notch, really love the screened in private tables outside. Definitely would recommend
