The BEST butter chicken I've ever had. I've put all my friends on it too. I literally think about this chicken all the time and crave it like no other. I normally get takeout here but have also dined in and the service is great, personable, and super friendly. Cozy hole in the wall vibes. A fave spot for sure.

Delicious food and consistently excellent quality. Some favorites: samosa chat, tandoori chicken, palak paneer, chicken tikka masala and of course the naan.

This is a regular dinner spot for me and my girlfriend! After eating here so many times, I can confidently say that I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great indian food at a reasonable price. The customer service is always on point and the food has never disappointed us. 10/10 recommend.

Pretty good spot, but I don't have this cuisine much so my standards aren't high. Good selection of naan to select from. Easy menu layout to navigate. Had lamb saag and chicken tiki masala with garlic cilantro and basil naan

Great good and very friendly staff. My family reserved table for large group party. The restaurant accommodated for our requests. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our Birthday party went well. They offered extra table to have cake & presents on, offered to help us quickly decorate, staff seemed happy and not frustrated with a large group. Mind you, the restaurant was open to the rest of the public so they had regular customers as well. I know it wasn't their job to help us setup or offer extra table (which they could have used for more customers) but they were super accommodating. This place treated us like we were their family and wanted to make sure we were happy! The food is delicious. This was my second time eating here. We ordered several entrees for our group. I highly recommend this place. It's a small restaurant with family vibes, amazing food and friendly staff & owner. I know my family will come here again.

I've visited a couple times and I love this place! I'm tried their butter chicken, chicken tikka marsala, garlic and regular naan, chicken momo and basmati rice and all of it was amazing. The butter chicken has an incredible rich red color and depth of flavor. The tikka marsala is a bit less intense. With both if you are not a big fan of spice I would recommend mild because even the medium is not super hot but just hot enough that it distracts a bit from the flavors. Service was very kind and the decor was very vibrant and colorful.

My visit to New Kathmandu Kitchen was long overdue. I love Himalayan and Nepalese food and have been wanting to try their momos since I first passed by this spot while running errands. I finally had my chance and stopped in for an early dinner with a friend. While I knew I was going to order their Chicken Momos ($15.95 for 10), we also decided to try more of their options. We ordered the medium spicy Chicken Tikka Masala ($16.95) and the Butter Chicken ($16.95) along with rice ($2.95), garlic naan ($4.95) and a Masala Chai ($4.95). I always feel a bit basic ordering things like Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken, but it's a great way to judge flavors with familiar dishes and people love these dishes for a reason. Definitely comfort food! We were there early, so we were the only diners for most of our visit, but it did seem like a lot people were ordering take out and delivery. The wallpaper was gorgeous and they had a fun mural on one of their walls as well. I think next time I'd try to get a seat by the windows for slightly better lighting on my photos, but it was still great where we were sat. The food came out hot and fresh and everything was delicious. The momos were super flavorful and I loved the sauce with them. The butter chicken was SO RED, I wasn't ready for the color but it was striking and tasted wonderful. Even though both the butter chicken and tikka masala was medium spicy, we felt the butter chicken packed a bit more heat. It really will be hard to order different items to try because the tikka masala, butter chicken and momos were so good. The garlic naan is always a nice addition and my friend enjoyed her masala chai. They do have their own parking, but it is TIGHT! Also there is no indication that it is one way so people were turning in from J and 37th and the way the spots are set up it can create a bit of an issue. I was VERY careful as I was leaving and will probably opt for street parking next time.
