There's something special about walking into a restaurant and immediately catching the scent of simmering spices. It's the kind of smell that promises warmth, flavor, and maybe a little nostalgia. That's what you'll find at Nepali Kitchen-a small but lively spot in St. Paul that serves both Indian and Nepali favorites with the kind of care you can taste.
The heart of Nepali Kitchen's menu comes from two traditions. On one side, you'll find the bold, colorful dishes of Indian cooking-think rich curries, fresh-baked naan, and fragrant rice dishes. On the other, the comfort-driven flavors of Nepal, including our hand-folded momo dumplings and warming soups.
If you're a fan of Indian cuisine, you'll feel right at home here. The butter chicken is velvety and balanced, the biryani is full of layers and spice, and the tandoori items come out of the oven with just the right amount of char. Vegetarian options aren't an afterthought either-our chana masala, palak paneer, and dal are as satisfying as any meat dish.
In a fast-paced world, Nepali Kitchen takes its time. Sauces are built over hours, not minutes. Spices are roasted before grinding to deepen their flavor. Even the bread is rolled and baked to order. It's a slower way of cooking, but it's the only way we know to get the taste right.
We don't believe in drowning dishes in heat for the sake of it. Instead, we build flavor with layers-sweet, tangy, spicy, and savory all working together. Whether you like your food mild or fiery, we'll make sure it's balanced.
Food is only part of the experience. Nepali Kitchen has become a meeting spot for friends, families, and coworkers alike. The dining room is warm and inviting, with tables that work just as well for a quick weekday lunch as they do for a long dinner with company.
Guests often tell us it feels like eating at a friend's home. That's exactly the feeling we aim for-good food, good conversation, and no rush to leave.
While the dine-in experience is special, we also serve plenty of takeout for those nights when you want to enjoy flavorful food at home. And if you're planning a gathering, our catering menu makes it easy to share Indian and Nepali dishes with a crowd. From trays of tandoori chicken to platters of momos, we can put together a spread that leaves no one hungry.
We're located in a convenient part of St. Paul, making us an easy stop whether you live in the city or are just visiting the Twin Cities. Parking is straightforward, and once you're inside, the staff is ready to help you choose something you'll love-whether it's your first time trying Indian food or your hundredth.
Regulars will tell you it's the combination of flavor and feeling that makes Nepali Kitchen stand out. Some come for the momos, others for the lamb curry, and plenty just want a fresh, hot naan to tear and dip into something delicious. But everyone leaves with the same thought: they'll be back.
If you've been searching for a place in St. Paul that offers authentic Indian cooking alongside unique Nepali flavors, Nepali Kitchen might just become your new favorite spot.
Come with an appetite, bring a friend, and let the spices do the rest.
