Family Vansa Ghar Restaurant & Bar

After exploring Cuyahoga Valley National Park, my friend and I were craving some authentic Nepalese food and this place did not disappoint! We ordered two Veg Thalis, opting for the spiciest level available. Every bite was bursting with flavor — from the rich, comforting Daal to the perfectly seasoned Tarkari and fresh Saag. We also tried the Onion Pakodas, which added an extra layer of crunch and taste (though they did use a bit too much food coloring). The Veg Thali, on the other hand, looked and tasted completely natural, full of earthy, home-style goodness. To finish off, the rice kheer was aromatic and absolutely satisfying, the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. I’d definitely come back here the next time I’m in Akron. Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine Nepalese flavors!

The best Indian food in Akron and surrounding area thus far!! I’m spoiled coming from the west coast where we have plenty of amazing Indian restaurants and after trying about 5 here locally I was super disappointed and almost gave up until today, when I placed a to-go order from Family Vansa Ghar. Everything we ordered (which was a lot) was great! Their butter chicken was tender in the sauce which is hard to achieve. Gobi Manchurian had the perfect amount of spice, and flavor. Mango Lassi and Masala Chai were sweet but delicious. Other dishes we tried Chicken Tandori, Paneer Sag, Chicken Vindaloo, Vegetable Samosa, etc. were all freshly cooked and wonderful tasting. The only drawback I have is the location is a bit dicey but you can get your food delivered if this bothers you.

The food is fresh and bursting with flavor, the Samosas are huge and the Naan 🫓 is excellent. Very generous servings! A hidden bar inside as well..

This was the worst food I have ever received and it was a waste of money. Please don’t order take out from there. I ordered a mango lasso and it was tomato juice. The naan wasn’t even cooked, so much food coloring that makes it inedible. They sent something that resembles bath water and it was the only decent thing. I basically threw it all away and I have read similar reviews about their take out. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!

This place is great, the best Nepali food I've ever had in a restaurant. Also the fact they had Gundruk soup was truly amazing. The service was great, friendly, prompt, helpful. My only complaint was it was a little hard finding the front door, the double doors on the right side of the building looked more like the main entrance, and even though there was a sign saying to use other door, since it was on the right door of the double doors it looked more like a sign saying you use the other door of that set.

While looking for an Indian restaurant, we stumbled upon a spot with very good authentic Nepali food. Our party enjoyed vegetable Samosas. We asked the server to select dinner for us. I had the Nepali Thali set titled Mutton. The Mutton was very favorable and spicy just how I like it. The set included greens, soup, dal, salad, rice, and Naan. I had no idea what to expect with the Mutton. It was tender, but boney, and it could be a standard preparation, I really didn't know. The only other opportunity area was the rice. It was firm, I like it less firm. My plate was so clean that there was no need to wash it. I can't wait to visit again.

My wife ordered the Butter Chicken and it was one of the best curries I've ever had. The Gobi Manchurian was a delight as well. The sauce was irresistible. I ordered it hot and it had a wonderful flavor, but wasn't crazy spicy. The Mango Lassi and Garlic Naan are both things I've had at many, many places and were both superior here. I also enjoyed trying the Sekuwa (pork). It's amazing how much flavor is packed into the coating and how juicy some of that pork was. Outstanding experience overall. I would eat that Butter Chicken every day of the week. We will be back many times, I'm sure. Please note, the ambiance is very laid-back, which was perfect for us.

Amazing food! The lamb vindaloo had great depth to the spices and the meat was tender. The Nepali soup was so delicious and different, great heat to it!

Stopped in tonight with my family! Great little unassuming spot for authentic Indian/Nepali food. I think it used to be a bar which they converted. We ordered the lamb korma, goat curry, sag paneer, and chicken tikka masala (I know I know...I'm basic, but it was good!) The service was friendly and accommodating. I believe they will start offering buffet on the weekends. My only critique is that there isn't much seating for groups over 4 so they had to do some seat arranging to fit our group of 5. I definitely recommend a visit if you want some authentic cuisine!

Everything we have gotten here (momos, curry, chicken tikki masala, naan) is off the charts excellent. Perfect spice level at medium. Service is very good. Spotlessly clean. Highly recommend.

I have ordered from Family Vansa Ghar twice when I've come to town and the food is always excellent. This is a gem of a restaurant on North Hill. The Chicken Korma is excellent.

I just happened to come across this Himalayan restaurant. I choose this dish to sample several items.Everything was absolutely delicious! Fresh, hot great flavor and nice presentation. You could tell the chef was proud of the food. The service was fast and correct with the order. The owner informed me they will bee having a buffet next week. I will definitely be back for that. They have only been open for about a week so I expect it to be very busy when word gets out about the food and the buffet. I think they are working on finding a bartender and more work on appearances. It was very clean but a little empty feeling inside.

Food was great and service too. The portions were quite big for the price. Small parking lot on the side. Will go back when in Akron.
