Το στέκι της Έλενας κρατούσε ένα επίπεδο , παραμονή πρωτοχρονιάς το κλίμα όμως είχε αλλάξει , απίστευτο κρύο εντός του μαγαζιού και το φαγητό επιεικώς απαράδεκτο, ελπίζω να ήταν τυχαίο γεγονός και όχι ο κανόνας

For some reason, I've been riding the Nepali Express lately. No, it's not a clickety-clack train through the Himalayas. It's an exotic culinary journey that makes two stops in the East Bay (Annapurna in Oakland and Mount Everest in Berkeley) and a final stop here over the course of a month. OK, I just made that up, but that's still a lot of momos in a condensed amount of time, don't you think? Advance praise on this compact place has been overwhelmingly favorable, and in one of those rare instances when the reality matches the hype, the food here is excellent. The ambiance and staff certainly make it feel authentic, but what do I know?
The cynic in me was wondering if they hired the elder woman in the native costume as a prop (photo: bit.ly/2dfKbnY), but no, she was real and so was the food. The true litmus test came with the $6.99 Himalayan Momos, the indigenous steamed dumplings that I have favored since my own trip to Nepal seventeen years earlier. A half-dozen plump ones came my way stuffed with minced pork and shredded cabbage and accompanied by a unique sesame, chili and tomato chutney sauce that I didn't have at the other two spots (photo: bit.ly/2czFm4J). They passed my test with flying colors.
Picking a main was no easy task as there were tantalizing variations on curry. From Atlantic salmon fillet to radish ginger chicken, their palette was bursting with flavors. I chose the $15.99 Chicken Cashew Cream Curry (Kukhuraku Ledo) a la carte. The chicken was clay oven flame-roasted and diced into big chunks and bathed in a lightly blended cashew cream sauce that was like ambrosia (photo: bit.ly/2cMmZN4). It came with a hefty portion of butter naan and basmati white rice (photo: bit.ly/2cDVHYa). It was awfully quiet when I dined here on a Saturday afternoon, so hopefully the five-star reviews will draw in business despite its relatively isolated location on Mission. All aboard for the Nepali Express!
FOOD - 5 stars...luxuriant curries and grade-A momos put this Nepalese spot above the rest
AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...native decor is not too overwhelming here though quite authentic
SERVICE - 4.5 stars...quite attentive
TOTAL - 5 stars...hopefully not the last call for this Nepali Express!
