" Absolutely loved my meal at Little Kathmandu! The chicken tikka was flavorful, and I can’t get over how well they handle different spice levels. The staff was friendly and made my dining experience truly enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving Nepalese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been here multiple times, and I can confidently say that Little Kathmandu serves the most authentic Nepali food I have ever tasted in the Bay Area. During my last visit, I tried the jhol momo, which was served steaming hot with a tangy dipping sauce that made my taste buds dance. The staff treated us exceptionally well, making sure we could adjust spice levels according to our preference. While the ambiance is quite casual, the food quality overshadows that. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for real Nepali cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were looking for authentic Nepalese cuisine and found it at Little Kathmandu. The food was simply delicious and reminded me of the flavors from my travels in Nepal. I ordered the lamb curry and it's exactly how I remembered it — rich and deep in flavor. The atmosphere is cozy but lacking some decor, but I didn’t mind the simplicity when the food was this good. It's a place I would love to return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best momos around! I can’t emphasize enough how satisfying their dishes are. It’s as if each bite brings back memories of food from Nepal! Their service is impeccable and the prices reasonable. The ambiance is quaint and comfortable for casual dining. I am definitely glad I made the trip here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Little Kathmandu is highly recommended if you're after authentic flavors. While the setting is uninspired, the flavors speak volumes. The spice was just right for my palate, and our server was great with recommendations. I particularly loved the vegetable thali which offered a great variety! I’ll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled across Little Kathmandu and was pleasantly surprised by the authentic flavors! The lamb curry was tender, and the tandoori was succulent. The service was fine but can be improved, as we waited a while for drink refills. Nonetheless, a pleasant dining spot overall. " (*Curated Review*)
