Best Nepalese restaurants in Canada

Chicken Jhol Momo a must try, flavourful and very tasty. Everything was good but the man on the front desk was not as we expected.( was arrogant and tried to argue with us). My friend was just having fun by joking and clicking a photo, my friend was trying to be friendly but the man didn't look happy. Other wise our visit was good.

We ordered a variety of dishes including a Non-veg Platter, Chili Chicken, Veg Biryani, Veg momos, and bread. The Non-Veg platter comprised Prawns, Tandoori chicken, Malai Chicken, and Lamb kebabs. While the Prawns and Malai chicken were satisfactory, the lamb kebabs and tandoori chicken were extremely disappointing, possibly the worst I've ever had. I'm not exaggerating when I say this.

I returned the order, and after a 20-minute wait, they brought the platter again, which unfortunately only made it worse. I ended up eating only the prawns and malai chicken, leaving the kebabs and packing the tandoori chicken, which I later threw away.

On the other hand, the Veg Biryani and Momos were enjoyable. However, the sauce that came with the momos was not up to the mark.

Although the Chili chicken was edible, the chicken pieces were not tender. I've had better chili chicken at several places in Calgary.

Overall, I left as an unsatisfied customer with an upset stomach and have decided not to visit again.

I recently dined at one of the best biriyani spots in town, and it was fantastic! The manager and chef were friendly, and the biriyani was bursting with authentic flavors. I highly recommend this place for anyone living in downtown.

Been going to green chilli from the 2000s since they opened their first take out location. The 17 Ave location is my favorite neighborhood kitchen. The owners and chef are all amazing, friendly, great service and great food. 💯 Recommend.

Cockroach in my dish (see photo)... Discovering a dead baby cockroach in the corner of my meal was beyond disturbing. The presence of a baby cockroach suggests a breeding population that is likely entrenched and probably a widespread infestation — the result of ongoing neglect of a clear pest problem. It's hard to imagine they weren't well aware of this.

Technically, I ordered this dish from Proud Vegan, which is essentially a front for Mt Everest — they share the same kitchen and facilities. A glance at their DineSafe records shows a clear pattern of infractions that speaks to a history of poor food safety practices.

As well, the fact that 'Proud Vegan' operates out of a kitchen also preparing meat dishes is a significant concern. This isn't about personal dietary preferences; but transparency and honesty in how a business presents itself to its customers. Failure to disclose this information is deceptive and undermines the trust diners place in them. This is an important detail that many vegans would want to know.

In posting this review, I expect the standard “we are investigating” response from the owner; however, given their record, such claims seem to be empty damage control rather than a commitment to real change. I urge fellow diners to avoid this restaurant (Mt Everest and Proud Vegan — same place) at all costs. Their kitchen just isn’t sanitary and their “investigating” the matter is an empty promise (I’m not the first to voice this complaint).

Have always done take out here. It's fine if you like raw heat, but sadly lacks flavour. This evening we paid extra for the larger shrimp dish, but it was the same sized helping as we've had before when ordering the standard size, despite specifically checking with staff before leaving with the take-out bag. Gonna give somewhere else a try.

Loved chili chicken momos, sauce was amazing. Definitely recommend chilli chicken momos.

A must visit place for the food lovers. If you are a person who loves to try food with lots of flavours. The food open all the taste buds and the place can have all the stars for sure.

We waited for 45min-1h to get a seat. But truly worth the wait. The service was super fast. This is not a place you can go out and enjoy the time hanging out with your loved ones. This is a place you just go for the good food.

Servers were really nice and helped us to get the best items from the menu. We tried the Delhi Masala Momo, Pork Chili and Himalayan Kitchen Special Chow Mein. The pork chili comes with white rice as well. All the dishes were top notch. We were 2 people and we had more than enough food. The portion sizes were great. I think the Momo and the Pork chili would have been more than enough for 2 of us.

I would definitely visit them again with friends and family as i want everyone to try this place.

Green Chili's delivery via Skip the Dishes brought the vibrant flavors of their kitchen directly to my door. The highlight was the Chicken Momos, a delectable taste sensation that nearly claimed the title of the best I've ever enjoyed. The momos, delivered hot and steamy, were a testament to the authenticity and care put into their food. The delivery was seamless and quick, ensuring that every morsel was as flavorful as intended. Joining the chorus of other diners, I echo the sentiment of satisfaction and culinary excellence. Green Chili has mastered the art of combining convenience with gastronomic delight. A strong 4.5 stars from me, alongside the high praise of fellow food enthusiasts.

I spotted Himalayan Kitchen on Google Maps while visiting Toronto. After loving my first experience eating momos earlier this year and seeing how good the reviews were for this place, I knew I had to pay a visit. They have a variety of momos, including steamed, fried, and even specialty ones like the Delhi Masala Momo. Personally, I still prefer the traditional steamed momos, but they were all excellent.

To be fair Quality of food was overhyped or may be it was weekend so they didn't put much efforts. Ordered Mango Lassi but it was more like Mango buttermilk. There were various variations of momos which tastes almost similar.
(4 people - 3 momos plate, 1 honey chilly potato - 64$)

Worth the drive from any part of the city. The portions you get for the price can't be beat. The service was incredible and the atmosphere is very calming. Quiet music playing in the background, beautiful paintings on the wall. Now to the food. The portion size alone for price makes it worth it but the flavors are tantalizing and savory. I've tried both the beef curry and butter chicken lunch combos and both are top notch cooked with love and care. Highly recommend making the trip to Green Chili!

Attentive service. Excellent recommendations.
The flavours and spices made this meal very satisfying. We had appetizer chicken lollipops,
Manchurian fish and sizzling Tandoori beef momos with rice. If you want a delicious meal, come try it!

Mixed review.

The food was just awesome. Really tasty and mouth-watering and spicy for sure. There was good area parking available on the meter right outside the restaurant. Quantity of the food is just right.

The atmosphere was a little too crowded. Lineups are huge we had a 45-minute wait time on a Saturday. They don't take reservations. A little too small for a restaurant.

The service was fast they would bring food out very quickly but the only thing odd we found as soon as you finish your plate they would come to say "Would you like a bill" basically like get out of here if you're done eating. And we observed that we 3 different tables. It's like they want people to enjoy the food and time they just want them to eat and get the H out of there.

I would recommend the food but not the service or dining in.

Butter chicken is decent but the chicken was a bit dry. Wasn’t happy about the burnt naan (takeout)

Update - owner politely reached out to me and asked to make it up. I appreciate the effort so we’re gunna give it another try :)

This is my first time eating at Green Chili my experience was excellent. The food was great It was perfect for my taste not too spicy. The vibe of the place I love it. I love the music they were playing. The staff was so nice and friendly always welcome everyone with a smile.

We heard alot about this place and the famous $8 breakfast. Finally gave it a try along with some veggie Momos. This meal was amazing! The food came out fresh, the portions are very generous and the service was amazing. We asked to exclude the egg and they even offered more of the chickpea curry. We'll definitely be coming back!

Had to wait 40 minutes since we had a party of 6, but all the food was so delicious! We were stuffed and the flavors were so strong too. I think the honey chili fries were my favorite!

Start of the day with this delicious chicken momo at a Nepalese restaurant... What a taste 😋😋❤❤😍😍

A must visit place. Highly recommended... The owner is polite... You will love being here 🙂

I’ve eaten from here twice, and both times the food was delicious. I usually don’t like sweet curries but their paneer do pyaza was so flavourful that I didn’t mind some sweetness. The peshwari nan is also a bit on the sweeter side which is something I’ve never experienced before but it was quite good too. I would recommend chicken momos as the accompanying chutney had a good blend of spicy and tanginess!

Authentic Nepalese dish, service was great and very friendly. I really like the momos.
Washroom really need cleaning up!!!

Got the garlic ginger chicken (left) and mixed momo. Very good, simple, tasty food, but nothing particularly special or different (especially the chicken dish). Excellent value for the price which hovered around the $10 mark per dish before tax. Service could be more attentive and without the attitude. I kept asking for hot sauce on the side and the person kept repeating it as "hot sauce" so I was concerned they would put it right on the food. When I asked for clarification that they understood the hot sauce was to be put on the side, he raised his voice and hung up the phone.

Really enjoyed going there for momo and food there! We order only 2 main+deep fried bread and a yummy drink, was still a lot left at the end!
Really good 😊 quantity of food, need to go back to try more flavours for sure!

We came to green chili for the first time, and had a great experience. Arjun was very kind and gave us great service. We tried a new dish that we had never had before, which was delicious, instead of tandoori chicken. My mom was still craving tandoori chicken and he surprised her with piece so she could still get her tandoori fix.

Service was fantastic! So warm and generous. Helped us choose delicious items on the menu. Food was fresh, perfectly balanced spice, good portions. Atmosphere is cozy and intimate. Very homey. Highly recommend!!

Green Chilli Downtown Calgary exceeded our expectations with their fantastic snacks! The paneer tikka was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, and the steamed veg momos were a delightful treat. The taste and quality of the food were exceptional, and the service was top-notch. The staff was attentive and friendly, making our dining experience truly enjoyable. I highly recommend Green Chilli to anyone looking for a place with great food and excellent service in Calgary. We'll definitely be returning for more culinary delights!

Very delicious and Awsm food, best place to visit in Calgary.. customer service 12/10…… they did great job on serving us.. highly recommended ❤️

Great service and amazing food! The Khasi Ko Maasu is a MUST try! Went really well with the Piyazi Kulcha naan!

This place is elegant with an awesome vibe. I went for dinner with my friends and the food was amazing. The service was speedy and friendly. Their variety of momos are absolutely incredible! No doubt this is one of my favorite spots for Nepalese Cuisine. Highly recommended 💯

We ordered some Samosas and their signature Veg Paneer starter dish.
Firstly, for the Paneer dish portion size was good. However, where it lacks is the flavours and aroma. Secondly, Samosas were average to say the least.

This would be good for most but if you are looking for genuine mouthwatering Indian-Pakastini /Nepalese flavours then be sure to be disappointed.

The pictures speak for themselves but let me add my 2 cents anyways. The staff is very friendly and the food here is absolutely delicious. Many other dishes should be pictured here but they were eaten before the thought of pics crossed my mind. The momos are some of the, if not the best in the city. Make sure you try the chow mein, ask for a fried egg on top of if you really want to kick it up another level. The house tea is also delicious, don't forget to ask for a cup. Will be going back to try the Kotthu roti next!

Such a hidden gem! Very unassuming, but the atmosphere was so nice and the food was delicious. Staff were kind and had great recommendations. We enjoyed Tibetan tea, mutton curry, and veggie momos. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting good food!

Overall, i found the place good. I had heard a lot about the food here, so maybe my expectations were very high.

Pros:
1. Tibetan owned place so the food and flavours seemed authentic. This is a small place with 5 small tables, and a kitchen at the back
2. Price is good
3. Food is alright: while I have had better Tibetan food and momos, the food was decent. I had the momo platter, and thupka here.
4. Good location in little Tibet in Parkdale

Unfortunately no more buffets all locations of Green Chili:(
Lunch combo 2 (butter chicken, vegetable curry, deep fried something, rice and naan:) was huge portion and all tasty! Super satisfied!

Amazing food, good service and generally great experience. We got the non veg bohjan special. It comes with a couple of appetizers, naan, basmati rice, two curry dishes (kahdi chicken and butter paneer) and a mix of tandoori and two other meat on a sizzling place and dessert at the end. (~$65 with tip and tax). The khadi chicken curry dish is as exceptionally tasty. Highly recommended.

I visited this place for dinner with my family to try nepali food.
Good:
1. Variety of nepali food options
2. Fair ambience
3. Quick service
4. Polite and welcoming staff
5. Genuine pricing.
6. Nice presentation of dishes

Not so good:
1. They don't serve salt and pepper
2. Food taste:
- Tandoori momos: no salt, filling of momos were tasteless
- veg soup: tasty
- malai kofta: tasteless, no salt and gravy was like water with some spices
- garlic naan and roti: super tasty
- Aloo Tama and Bodi: tasteless, no salt, no spices

Overall, not worth for 2nd visit.

Wednesday night take out
Butter naan - super dry and inconsistently thick causing dry an doughy parts. It being dry was odd since it was ‘buttered’
Butter Chicken - super sweet version of the dish. Not for our family. Prefer something much more savoury.
Beef Roganjosh - it was ok. Not authenticly spicy though.
Malai Kafta - 4/10 - sauce too milky
We got two ‘flavored’ rices - just get plain from here. Not worth the charge.

Overall meal was 5/10

Will not return

Visited here to try the authentic momos, and it was really tasty. Especially their chutney. Also, tried jhol.momos for the first time and it was also good. Taste of momos was same as we get it in India.
Ashwin's service was wonderful.

We had the chicken curry with some rice, the mixed momo plate and the tingmo bread. Nicely plated. Great flavours. There isn’t much seating and it’s not fancy but it was nice getting it hot. Definitely returning.

It may look like an average neighbourhood joint, but Green Chilli surprised me in many ways!

We went as group on a Friday night, and were immediately greeted by the staff and the incredible aroma of the indian food. The restaurant was cozy, and neat and the tables were ready and prepped with napkins, cutlery and the service was extraordinary right from the beginning.

We ordered Chicken tikka, Chicken Momo, Chicken chilli, samosa, butter chicken, dal makhani and butter naan. Everything we ordered was delicious with a perfectly balanced taste including spices and seasoning. The chicken chilli is definitely my personal favourite and a must have at this place! The chicken momo is also a must have as the stuffing was juicy and delightful and packed with flavours. The chicken tikka (sizzler item) had the perfect smoky taste which we craved for! We also ordered mango lassi, which was personally the best lassi I have tasted at a restaurant- a very authentic taste.

Green chilli serves authentic dishes and we were overwhelmed with the hospitality. 100% recommend if you are trying to taste an authentic indian/nepali cuisine in the city of calgary.
