You’ll want to try the momos and Nepalese-spiced lamb curries in particular. Here for lunch, I recently tried the tandoor salmon special but found it disappointing in that it was still cold in the center and the outside didn’t have the charred, crispiness that I expected. It was only ok, although the charred onions on the side almost made up for it. The special included a lovely lentil soup and a very good crispy-yet-soft nan. My dining partner ordered an excellent chicken birayani. Between us, we had enough leftovers for another lunch at home. The menu offers a decent selection of vegetarian items. Spicing is mild, so ask for additional heat if that is what you like.
