"We love this place and eat here all the time. Everything is fantastic whether you're eating there or getting delivery. And the owners, Prem and Kumari, are fantastic people! Highly recommend the jhol 1. Steamed Dumplings/ Himalayan Momo with soup (jhol) if you haven't tried it. That and the 23.Tofu Green Bean Curry/ Tofu Tarkari and 27. Spinach Cheese Curry/ Palak Paneer are our favorites"
"This place is the best. Always get the combo, and always get extra Naan. They have great portions for takeout, and the quality is super consistent. The 9. Chicken Cashew Cream Curry/ Kukhura Ko Ledo is incredible. The Momo is better at the restaurant as opposed to takeout. Great place!"

"Top notch - I love any of their kormas, and the Momos are exceptional. their sauces, curries and dips are so fragrant and authentic - tastes like mom's cooking but slightly more elevated. Despite all the amazing food in the Richmond district, this one serves a very important niche as comfort Nepalese / Indian. Would also suggest dining in."

"Darn good...tender Chicken Tikka Masala, good sauce, light color but rich flavor in the right way, no sweet or sour overtones, just straight up. "Extra Spicy" was mild for me but I def welcome the little bit of bite. The tamarind sauce is thin but legit, the green chutney is thick and also not too sweet or sour, exceptional. Nan is nan but they do that right too. Excellent quality meal."
"I ordered the Palak Dal combo, and it turned out to be a really satisfying meal! The Palak Dal was flavorful and comforting — rich, perfectly spiced, and had that homemade taste that’s hard to find in takeout. The Basmati rice was fluffy, aromatic, and paired beautifully with the dal. It wasn’t oily or clumpy — just clean and well-cooked. And to top it off, they included two papads instead of one — fresh, crisp, and a great crunchy side. Everything came neatly packed and still warm. It’s simple food done right — healthy, hearty, and full of flavor. Definitely something I’d order again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)"

"5/5 for Chicken MoMo (10 pcs). Their momo are full of chicken, soft, flavorful, and have thin dumpling wrapper which gives a really nice texture. You get full after eating 6-7 of them because they're huge. I love their portion size and taste. It's worth it for $15. Plus they're halal too. "
"The Baigan Bharta was extremely oil. I spent 10 mins just trying to drain and scoop the oil out. The pulao was a very small quantity for the price and tastes just okay. I would not recommend. "

Distinct spice and a bit expensive for the amount (4 pc) but would order again for a special occasion Pork momo (4 pc) - always amazing but was definitely better when we had them in house. "

"Delicious! The beef is cut in large cubes, and melts in your mouth. It's tender enough to shred with a fork if you prefer smaller pieces. As for the coconut rice, it's always delicious and not too sweet. It's even great just to just order to have for breakfast (heated, served with an egg on top that's been cook over easy). Stewed Beef Noodle Soup Coconut Rice"
"Pros: excellent packaging for the Thai Iced Tea, and overall. There were no spills, and even if there was, the bag was ready. The bag and Pad Thai box were clean. Presentation was as good as it could possibly be for takeout! Instructions were also followed (non-spicy). Cons: The Pad Thai was sadly a let down. The noodles were acceptable (only a little powdery), but the chicken was like floss (tough, and flavorless; like it was not prepped or marinated at all), spring onion was also flavorless and paper-like, the sprouts tasted acceptable but oxidized (less than fresh, a bit old). The egg was acceptable, but chunky - resulting in a tougher texture and with less sauce able to coat it (the egg was probably cooked in a rush while multitasking - thrown into the wok in a rush, then left to sit and toughen). Overall, the experience was not terrible, and it was only my first time ordering from ThongLor, and on a Saturday night about an hour from closing. Maybe it was just a bad night."
