Welcome to Little Nepal Indian Cuisine

“ I want to preface this by saying I am NOT an expert on Indian food. I maybe get it once a year. I was looking for someplace open within walking distance and placed an order for takeout The gentleman working there was very nice and helpful, the atmosphere was very friendly and inviting. The restaurant itself was very clean but homey. I thought the food was pretty good, I got chicken tikka masala with garlic naan and thought it was great, but I’m no expert. ”

“ Visiting a friend who lives in the neighborhood, so she’s been here before. We ordered two vegetarian dishes and some garlic naan, all to share. Everything was really delicious. Portions are not enormous, so we didn’t have to take leftovers with us, but we were both full when we left the restaurant. Lovely decor with beautiful cloths under glass at the tables, and attentive but not overbearing service. Lovely little spot! ”

“ Such a little gem in the Bernal Heights area. We love the bright colors outside and inside. Our server was very sweet. The food was delicious- not your standard Indian restaurant fare. I recommend getting the lunch special. Although it’s $25 it is absolutely worth it. Our party of 3 orders 2 of them and still have leftovers. It includes: a wonderful salad, naan, papadam. choice of rice and 2 curry dishes. The sauces for dipping were sensational- we especially loved (and devoured) the green curry (mint/cilantro). ”

“ Had a wonderful meal here! The vibe of the place was lovely, and the service truly stood out. Vikas, my host and server, was incredibly kind, attentive, and quick to respond to anything we needed. He made the experience feel welcoming and smooth. Definitely a place I’d love to come back to. ”

“ The food is delicious and atmosphere is so welcoming ”

“ Excellent Indian food — per my western taste. Thoroughly enjoyed the tandoori chicken, spinach dish, pompadom’s, chai tea, and rice. Very good customer service—though they didn’t automatically refill my water. Beautiful decor—someone took great joy decorating. Enjoy! ”

“ Went there for lunch - ordered the set lunch with lamb vindaloo and tandoori chicken. It came with basmati rice and naan- the naan was thin and very good also ordered an extra ala carte aloo gobi. Overall experience was good. The lamb vindaloo was tasty and tender. ”

“ Again I wish that Google would allow me to give out 1/2 stars as this place would get 4.5 stars all around. So we have all been to either an Indian or Nepalese restaurant before, I assume, and we all know that feeling, the first few bites were very tasty and then I started to feel like a pregnant mountain duck... Well not here at 'little Nepal' . Let me back up, I ate here just about 20 years ago for the first time. No I have no recollection on how good the food was. But it was the same location, same restaurant name and cuisine, that I know. 20 years fast forward, who knows how many changes in ownership and chefs I went back to try the place which opened just 5 weeks ago. I love it , the food is light, a great blend between Indian, Nepalese and some Californian. The staff at first is a bit reserved and shy but opens up quickly as you talk to them. We must have chatted with the head chef for almost an hour, going over recipes, up-bringing, mountain and restaurant names , it was a delight to say the least. Now to the food. We worked ourselves through the menu. Fig salad, mango chicken, coconut rice. Lemongrass chicken, curry salmon, naan... None of the dishes disappointed and we didn't feel stuffed or pregnant like a mountain duck. I love this place and highly recommend it. I will go back and it won't take me another 20 years. ”
