Great place for Nepali/Bihari cuisine. It is a fast food joint and they have food prepared for service, like a buffet. The portions are very good and the flavour is great. Ample seating options available. Clean washroom with a dedicated kids changing area.

A great place with a really good price. The owners were so kind, they were looking out if we enjoyed the food and they gave us an extra snack. We ordered chicken curry without bones with basmati rice which was a fantastic choice. So it's a good cheap place with really hardworking and gentle owners.

The food at this Indian restaurant was absolutely delicious! I was pleasantly surprised by the moderate prices and excellent service. The interior was also quite charming. It was incredibly hot when I visited Rome, but the amazing food more than made up for it. They even provided fans, which was a nice touch. I spend €23 for 2 people Nearest MRT station VITTORIO EMANUEL

This restaurant was less than 5 minutes from our AirBnB. We found it appealing and quaint. Food was delicious. The service was a bit slow. But then again, Europeans are not in any rush. Eating outside the establishment is also available As the evening approaches, the atmosphere became more lively

Been to several Nepalese restaurants in Italy and Europe but this Kathmandu restaurant has a very authentic taste of Nepalese food!! Felt the taste of home when I tried their dishes and the portions are also generous. Must try : Momo’s, Durelli di pollo and their Nepali thali is the best! Foods are not spicy as other places if you want spicy you can ask for hot pickle sauce or fresh green chillies. Excellent service and the staffs are kind and gentle. If you are looking for an authentic Asian cuisine with spices to spice you up this is the place to Visit!!!

I really enjoyed the food here – the momo and khaja set were both delicious and authentic, definitely a highlight for anyone craving Nepali flavors in Rome. The staff was friendly and the portions were satisfying. However, I do want to point out that the area around the restaurant didn’t feel very safe, especially late at night. I noticed quite a few homeless people nearby, and during my visit a man started singing and then demanded money from me in a forceful way. While the food itself was excellent, I would recommend visiting earlier in the day or being cautious if you plan to go at night.
