Nepal House Indian & Nepalese

I like this place. I have been to many indian and nepalese restautants but this one stands out the most. I ordered chicken momo and goat choila as an appetizer. i think it was great. Chicken momo was medium spice and had tasted great. The choila was a little sweet but hey i am not complaining because i am not a big fan of too spicy food. I ordered lamb korma as my entre along with a garlic naan. The korma was as i expected it to be. Medium spiced. Creamy and big chunks of lamb with enough sauce for your rice. Now let me tell you about the naan. They have the best naan here out of all the places i have been to. It was fluffy. Crispy and perfectly cooked. It was not suggy at all. Would have given a 5 star but i felt like it was a little to pricy. But the quality of service and food makea it totally worth it.

I do not know anything about Indian food so I don’t know how this compares. However, the food is pretty delicious in my opinion. We have had the curry chicken, butter chicken and garlic, cheese and regular Naan so far.
My boyfriend and I tend to like a nice bit of spice and usually go with medium (because it does build) or hot. We were offered «Indian hot» and it was way too much for me! Haha I had about two bites of my boyfriend’s food and was done!
The staff is always friendly and when we order out it is always on time. I haven’t had their lunch buffet but I’ve heard good things about it!

This place is the best indian restaurant in downtown Chicago
I have been to this place lot of times and had deliveries also
First dinning experience — it is not too crowded or empty, staff is very friendly and have enough choices to choose from. Also our orders are served within 10 mins (thats a huge plus for indian restaurant), taste is ok (i wont say great)
Deliveries — they are always on time (i live two blocks away), they are packed well and always served hot
Pros: location, pleasant atmosphere
Cons: pricey

Ordered takeout from this place and it was ready within 20 minutes. The chicken tikka masala and chicken momo were absolutely delicious! The only thing is the naan was different from what I’m used to. It was more like a chip but still very flavorful.

Ordered chicken chili, garlic and cheese naan, butter chicken and Nepali dumpling. Loved the chicken chili but they gave such a small portion for the price it costs, the naan were really good but I think they should call cheese naan: panner naan instead because it wasn’t «cheese» naan. I didn’t like that one but the garlic naan was delicious! The butter chicken was very different from the ones we usually eat but it tasted really good. And the dumplings were okay, nothing like the authentic ones. This place is a bit fancy and expensive. I don’t know if I’ll go there again… But overall, it was alright.

I ordered chicken makhani, lamb vindaloo, and garlic naan for delivery. It was pricey, but I expected that after reading the reviews. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with my order and probably won’t be ordering from here again. The chicken makhani had great flavor, but it was extremely watery. The lamb in the lamb vindaloo was delicious, but I thought the texture of the sauce was a little off from what I’m used to. On a positive note, the garlic naan was amazing and delivery time was reasonable.

I love this place. It’s so delicious. Slow service for sit down but WORTH it. Grab takeout, you will be happy! I especially love the paneer makhani and the navratan korma. I wish more naan came with the orders though!

The phone in the resturant keeps ringing with order and ruins the quite environment. The food is very greasy and the dishes we ordered lacked essential ingredient (the more costly ones). The staff, although nice, has little understanding of the menu and of the basics of service.

Came here on Sunday night for a group of 4 plus one toddler. The wait for food was super long (approx 30min) after we ordered. Very mediocre food– nothing special. Since I was on a business trip, I wanted to ask for my portion of the bill separated when the check came but they said they couldn’t split the bill at this stage. I was supposed to let them know in advanced when I was ordering that I wanted a separate bill. Long story short, this place several lack warmth and customer service. One star for clean bathroom, one star for mediocre Indian food.

This place was such a pleasant surprise. I stopped by after work for dinner with my boyfriend’s sister and we were greeted promptly by the nice staff. We ordered a veggie and chicken samosas which were hot and well seasoned, served with tamarind chutney, mint chutney and pickled vegetables. DELISH! For our dinner we ordered butter chicken and chicken tikka masala, both very similar dishes but equally delicious. This came served with basmati rice. Overall pleasant experience. Will definitely be back and will for sure be ordering take out since my picky boyfriend who had never had Indian/​Nepalese food killed the butter chicken leftovers.

Been to this place twice and was impressed each time. The food was tasty and fingerlickin’ good!
The naan they bring out (or was it something else?) was deliciously warm. Some kinks was with the placement of the sign. I’m not sure if they were just misplaced but chicken and lamb is very different.
They offer a variety of meat (no pork… :P) and some choices of salads and dessert. Do give this a try!

I wanted to try this place since the day I saw its name on a Chicago tourist magazine. My experience:
Greasy samosas and dried meat … I’ve had better Indian food at other places. Food tasted reheated and old… Specially the rice and the meat/​chicken. I ordered delivery with grub hub and is my last time ordering from this place. It’s easy to notice when the food is fresh and when is not … Im definitely not ordering from this place again. 60 dollar dinner for two was a total waste of money. I eat better at chipotle for less.

Love their Chicken makhni, Dal makhni, Chicken dum-​sum and Garlic Naan.
Best thing about them.
— Love their delivery service at home.
— Always on time.
— Food is always amazing.

I really love this place. The only thing that could possibly knock it down for me is the price. Around $ 14 for each meal. But they do have good portion sizes, which somewhat makes up for it.
We’ve come here more than once, and always have gotten seated right away — there are always people in there, but it’s not overly crowded. They start you off with a serving of papad, which comes with a couple different kinds of chutney. Good, but it’s obviously been made some time back. I’ve tried three different dishes here: the Chicken Makhani (butter chicken), Chana Masala, and the Chicken Madras. I enjoyed all of them, but the best was definitely the butter chicken.
There’s pretty much a 100% chance of me coming back here.

4 stars for food but overall 3 stars for service and attitude. Here is the short scoop…
This was our first trip to Nepal House and we wanted to order their Lamb Sekuwa since its chef recommended (in red font and all on the menu), but sadly they didn’t have it since its a ‘new menu’. I didn’t understand the correlation of a new menu and non availability of their chef recommended dish. That said, we were pleasantly surprised by the food that was available. Although, not authentic Nepalese, our Chicken biryani, the Lamb Khasi and keema nan were all well prepared. The food alone would warrant a visit again!
However, between their service and certain charges such as a $ 7 corkage and $ 2 for a few slices of raw Onions (a staple with Indian food), we might only do takeout or delivery. They don’t close until 10 but by 9:15 during our meal, the server came twice to remove the pickle and chutney container, since it had to be washed before closing. Did I mention, we were still only half way through our meal?
For a restaurant that’s almost always empty, they can make some very minor tweaks that would earn them repeat customers including myself… oh, well one can hope!

Pretty decent lunch buffet for $ 12 on a weekday. It’s within walking distance of the museums, and a lot cheaper than most of those cafes. But Gulab Jamun only gets you 3 pieces for $ 3.95. Should be less than $ 1 per donut hole IMO.
Service was a bit slow. All food was ordered to come immediately, yet the appetizer Vegetable Momo came about 10 minutes after everyone was done eating. I was about ready to just have it taken off the bill.

Got a few curries and the spinach with cheese
Not bad, but a little pricey for what you get.

This review is for the lunch buffet. After an appointment near by I randomly decided that I wanted something other than a sandwich for lunch, so I walked into this place. I was low on time, so the lunch buffet was ideal. There was a good selection of both meat and vegetarian dishes here, and everything I tasted was wonderful. I see reviews on here saying that the plated dishes are top notch as well. I’ll have to come back sometime and try those as well

If I could give negative stars I would. We ordered food 2 hours and 10 minutes ago-​at 6:45. They told us that the food would arrive from 7:50 — 8:15. Then, at 8:00, they contacted us saying the food would arrive between 8:15 — 8:25. We were annoyed, but thought, «oh well». At 8:35, there was still no food, so I called. The woman I talked to told me Lake Shore Drive was closed and it was taking her driver a long time to get to us. She said she would call her driver and get back to me. She never did. At 9:00, I called her and back and told her the food STILL had not arrived. She told me she would call her driver again and get back to me again in 5 minutes. It has been 5 minutes with still no phone call.
What makes matters worse is that Nepal House is 2 miles away from our house. They could have walked her and been over on time. FURTHERMORE, one does not need to take Lake Shore Drive to get to our house. She knew where our address was, because she asked me when I called her the first time. That means she lied to me, in order to buy herself more time.
They did not offer any reimbursement for delaying our meal for so long, either. After waiting for over 2 hours (and 1 hour later than the original time), that is the very least a restaurant could do.
I mean I hope the driver is alright, but the customer service was just awful.
EDIT:
We finally got the food. It is completely cold, but they refunded our money, which is the very least they could do.

A very good friend told me this was her favorite place for Indian food. I am a big fan of Indian food so when I hear that I have to give it a shot.
She lives nearby so we did pickup. Checked the menu before I stopped in and saw lots of goodies. The Fish Tikka Masala looked the best and came highly recommended on Unilocal.It was definitely a treat along with the garlic naan… very good flavor. My friend got the Chcken Tandoori and it was pretty good as well. Came heavy on the onions though lol.
The nice girl at the door excepted my 15% off Unilocal check in special and then gave me a 15% coupon for whenever I returned. The place itself is pretty small but has a charm to it. I am now a fan of this place

The food here is okay. I don’t see how their version of Nepali food any different from Indian food. The waiters here at super pushy. They came to check on my friend and I at least 8 time during an hour of period. We ate light and wanted to have a nice conversation but they kept on wanting to take our plates away. It was obvious we had not finished out meal yet. I will never go back again.
