Northern Himalayan Café: Reviews & Ratings
The Nepali Cafe is a delightful spot with a cozy atmosphere and authentic cuisine. The momos are a must-try, and the thukpa is wonderfully comforting and don't forget to try Nepali thali if you are hungry. Friendly service and reasonable prices make it a fantastic dining experience. A true gem for anyone craving Nepali flavors! Highly recommend!
We were just walking by on our way to another eatery in downtown North Bay when this place’s name caught our eye. We asked to look at the menu and quickly decided that there were many dishes that we would like to try. Our waiter was very helpful in helping us decide. We ordered the Dahl, butter chicken, sauteed vegetables and appetizer sampler. Everything was delicious! What a happy find for us.
I am a regular customer in this cafe that it has become an extension of my kitchen. The environment has a warm, homey feeling with the delicious smells escaping from the kitchen. The restaurant is clean and the staff treat you like family. I have not only become friends with the staff but also with the customers. If you’re wanting an authentic and relaxing dining experience, I highly recommend you try this cafe.
This restaurant was truly a little gem we found when traveling through North Bay, Ontario. It was a nice way to finish our road trip. We were there during non peak hours, so the restaurant was not busy at all. Service was great Waiting time was reasonable. We could tell all the dishes were made fresh to order. Foods were authentic, and they all had unique tasty flavors.
I just wanted to try something different and........ Wow! I was not disappointed. I wanted dumplings and got steamed chicken momo and fried pork momo and both are very delicious. I also got pork belly curry with garlic Naan and Dahi Puri, everything was so delicious. Highly recommended!!! I can't wait to try other dishes the next time I order.
This women-led small business feels like more than just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of Nepali culture. For the first time in Canada, this establishment made me feel unapologetically proud of my heritage. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant's interior was beautifully designed and well-utilized, with clean washrooms. I was impressed by the menu as it was a mix of many Nepali cuisines and had dishes like Sikarni, Shaphaley, Malpuwa, Chatpatey and Dhindo. We ordered the Newari Thali and Chicken Thakali sets. The Thali was satisfying, featuring Bara, Vatmas, and egg, while the Thakali tasted homemade and light, not overly oily. We were content with the food. A couple of suggestions: adding wedge jimmu timmur alu to the Thakali would elevate it, and the Thali could benefit from more garlic chunks and perhaps swapping the pakora for fried fish. Highly recommend! We will be visiting this place every time we are around North Bay. And kudos to Laxmi Jee and team.
