Nepa Indian Cuisine is a lively and welcoming spot that fills up quickly during dinner hours, creating a great atmosphere. There's street parking available, as well as a nearby garage for added convenience. The moment we walked in, the energy of the restaurant was inviting, with friendly staff who were incredibly attentive throughout the meal. They genuinely care about customer satisfaction, frequently checking in to ensure everything was to our liking and keeping our water glasses full. One thing that stood out was how accommodating they were--they even allowed us to add palak to their paneer naan, which turned out absolutely amazing!
My group ordered a variety of dishes, and everything came out fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. They also have a nice wine bar, making it a great place to enjoy a meal while sipping on a drink of choice. My personal favorites were the chicken tikka masala and the goat biryani. The chicken tikka masala had a rich, creamy sauce with the perfect balance of spices, and the goat biryani was incredibly fragrant, with tender pieces of goat meat that paired beautifully with the fluffy, aromatic rice.
One of the highlights for me was the eggplant pakora. I absolutely love eggplant, so I was excited to see it on the menu. The pakoras were perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, and paired beautifully with the accompanying chutneys. Each dip added a different layer of flavor, enhancing the dish even more.
The naan was another standout--it was light, fluffy, and easy to tear, making it perfect for dipping into the curries. We found ourselves reaching for more throughout the meal.
If I had to nitpick, I'd probably pass on the tandoori chicken and lamb next time. While everything else was excellent, the tandoori meats were on the drier side. I think they could have been perfect if they had been marinated with more yogurt, which would have helped tenderize the meat and keep it juicy. With that slight adjustment, I could see these dishes being just as amazing as the rest of the menu.
Overall, Nepa Indian Cuisine delivered a fantastic dining experience. Between the welcoming staff, flavorful dishes, and thoughtful accommodations, it's a place I'd happily return to. I look forward to coming back to try more items from their menu!
