    🌱 Holy Smokes, Folks. The buffet here has close to 10 vegan options of DELICIOUS GOODNESS! Ask a worker what is vegan, and I guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised! (Well I guess I ruined the surprise, but you will be in vegan heaven!) There were vegan samosas, fried spinach, eggplant curry, lentil soup, noodles with veggies, white rice, rice with veggies, black eyed pea something or other, another veggie mix, and I believe the sweet potato dish as well, but you should double check. And the guy made me some vegan naan bread without me even asking for it! So I'm sure you could ask for it if needed! I can't wait to go back here.. 🌱🌱😎👌

    A nice weekend buffet (available for lunch and dinner all days) for $18 with a nice selection of chicken based dishes (only meat available) and plenty of vegetarian and vegan friendly options. Food is decent, ambience is quite good, friendly staff and tons of parking. My favorite dishes were the chili chicken, chicken tikka masala, carrot halva and vegetable curry. The

    Some of delicious foods i have ate on this restaurant.Such an unbelievable taste! The whole acting thing is a buffet. One, in terms of role choice and movie choice, I like to do lots of different things, and I think that's the whole fun of it. But I also see it as a buffet in terms of the character.I'm a fast foodie - like, a foodie, but with food courts. I'd love to go with all my friends to a food court that's also a buffet.Its a good place for buffet lunch.

    The buffet lunch is a good option considering they have decent options in both vegetarian and meat sections. Few of the vegetarian items tasted good whereas few were outright bland and lacked spicyness. The desserts were the best part with mango custard and rice pudding stealing the show.

    Nepali and Indian food. Good lunch buffet. Watch out the spicy food. No joke. When they say it’s spicy… it’s in another level. Even the salad dressing was spicy.. maybe it wasn’t salad dressing.. anyways… highly recommended. Going back there tomorrow.

    I like the buffet here. Delicious food and lots of options (including for people with dietary restrictions). I also like the large metal cups they keep filled with water! This is a great stop when passing through Boulder!

    Not a bad Buffet , great if you wanna try some new and magical flavors. Service was great maybe they come too many times to the table to refill the water but nice people. The Food was hot and fresh. Very filling .. nice beer options

    This quaint place is one of those “best bangs for the buck” restaurants I absolutely love. Multiple friendly servers work together to take care of me, the atmosphere plays gentle spiritual music, and the buffet is quality over quantity. Every bite was delicious….mostly vegetarian and vegan selections, and a variety of yummy chicken selections. A large sake was ten bucks. Yup! If I lived here, I would be a regular.

    The food is awesome and super savory. Also has super good vibes. I really loved their aloe plant in the front. Their manager was super kind and the staff was really nice:3. Overall I look forward to going back there to essentially enjoy their outstanding food. I love the foo dogs they are super cute 😍. There is plenty of space for big parties and also free parking. There is even some awesome landscaping with vines on it and rock sculptures too. I really loved their water too was super delicious 😋 😍 Overall was pretty laid back and had awesome vibes. 😗😁😘

    A great Indian buffet offering a variety of delicious delish for every type of pallet. Some of my favorite dishes are Chili Chicken, Sweet Potato Masala, Spinach Saag, & Curry Chicken. For dessert I recommend the Mango Custard with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in it. The food is excellent and we'll spiced, the only down side is it's usually cold or just barely warm. They need to fix their steamer trays and it would remedy this situation. The staff is usually very attentive and will keep your drink of choice refilled for you.

  • 4/5 Souvik S. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried the dinner buffet here. At 19.99$, the price is a little bit on the higher side. The starter items like samosa and spinach pakoda were absolutely on point. The choice of non-veg entrees was however limited. Only two chicken entrees (curry and tikka) and one shrimp curry were available. At this price-point I would expect a mutton dish or at least more chicken dishes.

    It's a great place to try out some Nepalese-Indian cuisines. They have a wide variety of choices to pick from, they also offer a good selection of vegan food items. The reason for 4 stars is because the food was good but not great! They no longer have Lunch Buffet option in view of COVID. The place is well maintained specially cleanliness wise. Happy with the service and staff!

    This is the only Indian buffet we have found open sense the Covid nightmare. Everything was very delicious. Service was outstanding. Rice pudding was exceptional. Highly recommend the experience and the flavors. I made a vegetarian dish from the buffet.

  • 3/5 Suvra R. 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered chicken momos and Nepali meat meal from here for dinner. The tea which came with the meal increased our expectations as it was pretty well made, although the fact that we got a single glass of it when the menu says dinner for two was little perplexing(A glassful of tea though was a lot, only if we were ready to share from the same glass). Next came the best part, the momos were the best, spicy to the right level, as tasty as they can ever get, accompanied with the tangy and hot tomato dip made the day, if you are a momo connoisseur then you must try this. However, there ended the fairy tale, the tandoori chicken smelled stale, the shrimp fries were ok, lamb curry was well done with a good number of pieces, but the chicken tikka masala and the mixed veg curry had the same sweetish sauce and chicken again did not taste fresh. I would visit again just for the momos.Not so much for full dinner

    Went here with my family for the lunch buffet. Paired with the Mango Lassi this was one of my top 5 buffet experiences! The dishes were delicious! For starters I had the veggie samosas with tamarind sauce and pakoras. For entrees I tried the chicken tikka masala, chicken curry, and for sides I had the creamy saag, eggplant curry, sweet potato curry. All of this served with a bed of basmati rice. All these dishes were great tasting but my favorite was the chicken tikka masala! The chicken was so tender! Would recommend to anyone who would like some delicious food (flavorful but not overly spicy).

    Loved the food. I didn’t expect the food to be that good in Bolder CO. Also, buffet food usually not that good but Kathmandu’s food surprisingly well cooked.

  • 4/5 JT M. 2 years ago on Google
    Lunch buffet with an array of vegan and gluten free options. Very tasty. Not sure how covid safe the whole operation is however.

  • 5/5 Karolina 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious! It was quiet (which we liked), with a few small parties around. The menu was extensive and service was excellent. We ordered the chicken korma, chicken momo, chicken soup, roti, curry, and a Stoli mule. I think the cocktails should be served with ice but other than that, everything was great! Flavors were rich and everyone was very kind. Would recommend this place to anyone in the area!

    I had the buffet around dinner time on a weekend. Usually, that's the best time to eat from a hot bar. The saucy foods were hot, but all the fried stuff was no longer crispy. There was no naan when I arrived. The chicken in the Tika was low quality.. but the bone-in chicken and in the Curry was great. Desert options were underwhelming. The food wasn't terrible, but makes last place of all the Indian buffets I've eaten at. The kicker was the price. The ticket came to almost $22 for just 1 meal after tax, BEFORE tip. That's... too much for what was offered. For that price, the food should have been more fresh and the service should have been better.

  • 5/5 Steven R. 2 years ago on Google
    The dinner buffet for $18 is an incredible deal. They have tons of variety of curries in their buffet and if the food isn't spicy enough for you then they have plenty of sauces on the side you can add to spice it up. There was barely anybody here which surprised me because the food is amazing. All the curries I tried were great. Naan bread game on point here. The only thing I can think of to improve the experience would be adding some Nepalese/Indian music to the ambience (it was quiet). I will definitely be back!
