" My experience wasn’t ideal. The service was slow, and the staff seemed overwhelmed. However, the food made up for it! The chicken momo was incredibly juicy, and the sauces were perfect. I would give it another shot, hoping for a smoother experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best Nepalese food in town! The tandoori chicken was juicy and the spices were just right. I thoroughly enjoyed the jhol momo—definitely the best I've had so far. The ambiance is cozy, perfect for an unplanned dinner with friends. Also, major points for the generous portion sizes! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a gem! I've ordered from Kantipur multiple times, and each dish has not only been authentic but also bursting with flavor. Their chicken biryani is one of the best I've had outside of India. The service has been consistently great, and the portions are generous. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a taste of authentic Nepali and Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kantipur Cafe has a casual vibe and a solid menu. The biryani was good, but I expected it to be spicier. The momos were excellent, however. If I’m craving a low-key lunch, this is definitely a place I’ll return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Kantipur Cafe! I've been a frequent visitor, always finding something new I love. The spicy paneer kadhai is my favorite—so rich and vibrant in flavor. The service is top-notch—always welcoming and friendly. The prices are reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kantipur Cafe has become my go-to spot for Indian food. I love how I can customize the spice levels, which is great as I prefer my dishes to be spicy. The samosas and pakoras are to die for, and I've never had a bad experience with the service. It's a casual atmosphere perfect for a quick meal. The price is budget-friendly too! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Kantipur is pure comfort! I can't get enough of the warm, fluffy naan and the flavorful chicken curry. Their prices are fair, which is always a bonus. I love to sit and enjoy a meal after a long day at work here. It's one of my favorite spots! " (*Curated Review*)
