had this to say:
The best Nepalese food I’ve ever had. I came in shortly before close and still received impeccable service and incredible food. I was in Des Moines for one night only and I’m so grateful this was the restaurant I chose!

Online Order Pickup, mostly Indian food:
No fees, no card fees, no service fees from their site.
Food was ready quickly/by stated time
Food was hot
Service was polite
Parking was good
Heavy, chewy, fluffy naan, not tortilla-like
Take it easy on your teeth, chew slowly 😄
I did not get any unpleasant char or coarse bits that can sometimes be transferred from the tandoor to the naan
Basmati was good, not overcooked
This is my first online order at any restaurant where the requested spice heat levels were taken into account, Major props.
"Hot" was hot, without detracting from the flavor Always order hot if you can.
Chicken tikka masala is creamy, the chicken itself is very good. Easy to eat a lot of it, broadly appealing
Samosa Chaat is good, though I prefer my samosas whole, they chop theirs in. Best when dining in. Chutneys were slightly thin, but tasted great
Restaurants is clean, does not smell like a deep fryer or wok.
Prices were fair to good.
I'll definitely be back.

I have been here for both buffet and a-la-carte. I have enjoyed the food each time; ate buffet recently - there were great choices and the food was great. Great representation of South Asian culture. Pricing is reasonable too!!
