My wife stumbled upon this little Nepalese restaurant (apparently Nepalese is similar to Indian food). We got the eggplant dip appetizer, the vegetaruan paneer lunch entree, and the 1/2 sandwich and soup combo. Our server was funny, kind, and energetic and the decor was homey, tasteful, and very pleasant.

Our appetizer was prompt. It was a warm eggplant dip ( Eggplant Bharta) on wonton style chips. The portion was very good, the dip was delicious (especially with a bite of the cilantro) and the chips were fresh. Will order again.

The paneer entree came with a lentil soup and seasoned basmati rice (Paneer Tarkhari), but what stole the show was the soup and sandwich. The soup and sandwich came with a steamed bun to dip in the soup. The soup (Ema Datshi) was a Brie soup with onions, potato, Shitake mushrooms, and I suspect poblano peppers. It is quite possibly the best thing on the menu. The sandwich (Besan Gyaw) is a vegetarian Wonder. It comes on Parmesan crusted Panini bread, with slices of smoked gouda cheese, pressed fried chickpea lentil Mash that is Smokey and savory, a wonderfully spiced mayonnaise and rivaled the soup.

The only thing my wife and I regret about our visit is that we fear we may not try anything else besides that soup and sandwich.

Our bill was over $40 yes, which means we won't be doing this every week, but it was worth every penny.
