Unforgettable and authentic!
The warm hospitality and beautiful scenery on the walls made us feel at home from the moment we entered.
The service provided was attentive and friendly, with the staff eager to explain the menu and provide suggestions for dishes.
The Dal Bhat was an authentic and soothing dish, with scented rice, hearty lentils, and seasonal vegetables that reminded me of a meal made at home.
The momos were incredibly delicious – juicy, perfectly spiced, and served with a delicious dipping sauce.
The size of one double black shot in a black-label drink surprised me compared to other Nepali restaurants in this area. ❤️
If you’re looking for authentic Nepali cuisine, this place is highly recommended – you’ll want to come back every time!

After exploring Cuyahoga Valley National Park, my friend and I were craving some authentic Nepalese food and this place did not disappoint! We ordered two Veg Thalis, opting for the spiciest level available. Every bite was bursting with flavor — from the rich, comforting Daal to the perfectly seasoned Tarkari and fresh Saag.
We also tried the Onion Pakodas, which added an extra layer of crunch and taste (though they did use a bit too much food coloring). The Veg Thali, on the other hand, looked and tasted completely natural, full of earthy, home-style goodness.
To finish off, the rice kheer was aromatic and absolutely satisfying, the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal.
I’d definitely come back here the next time I’m in Akron. Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine Nepalese flavors!

I live in north hill, about 2 min from this place and never tried it until today. My son was visiting from Washington state and I mentioned that there was a high population of Nepali in north hill. He suggested that we go to have some Nepali food and we picked this place. So glad we did! The chicken biriyani was the best I’ve had in the area! Also got chicken momo which was just as good. We were the only ones in the place since we went at a weird time on a Sunday. The waitress was so sweet and helpful, even showing us the brand new carrom board they just got. Had never heard of it but it looked a little like a cross between air hockey and pool. Will definitely return here soon!

The food was absolutely amazing and it was yummy. While the service was really good but I have seen better but it’s still much better than most. And the atmosphere was the songs were playing with paintings of the mountains

The best Indian food in Akron and surrounding area thus far!! I’m spoiled coming from the west coast where we have plenty of amazing Indian restaurants and after trying about 5 here locally I was super disappointed and almost gave up until today, when I placed a to-go order from Family Vansa Ghar. Everything we ordered (which was a lot) was great! Their butter chicken was tender in the sauce which is hard to achieve. Gobi Manchurian had the perfect amount of spice, and flavor. Mango Lassi and Masala Chai were sweet but delicious. Other dishes we tried Chicken Tandori, Paneer Sag, Chicken Vindaloo, Vegetable Samosa, etc. were all freshly cooked and wonderful tasting. The only drawback I have is the location is a bit dicey but you can get your food delivered if this bothers you.

This place is great, the best Nepali food I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Also the fact they had Gundruk soup was truly amazing. The service was great, friendly, prompt, helpful. My only complaint was it was a little hard finding the front door, the double doors on the right side of the building looked more like the main entrance, and even though there was a sign saying to use other door, since it was on the right door of the double doors it looked more like a sign saying you use the other door of that set.

The food was amazing! Everything came out hot and tasted fresh. The wait staff was very friendly and the restaurant is so organized and clean. I highly recommend not only the food but dining in also!

While looking for an Indian restaurant, we stumbled upon a spot with very good authentic Nepali food. Our party enjoyed vegetable Samosas. We asked the server to select dinner for us. I had the Nepali Thali set titled Mutton. The Mutton was very favorable and spicy just how I like it. The set included greens, soup, dal, salad, rice, and Naan.
I had no idea what to expect with the Mutton. It was tender, but boney, and it could be a standard preparation, I really didn’t know. The only other opportunity area was the rice. It was firm, I like it less firm. My plate was so clean that there was no need to wash it.
I can’t wait to visit again.

My wife ordered the Butter Chicken and it was one of the best curries I’ve ever had. The Gobi Manchurian was a delight as well. The sauce was irresistible. I ordered it hot and it had a wonderful flavor, but wasn’t crazy spicy. The Mango Lassi and Garlic Naan are both things I’ve had at many, many places and were both superior here. I also enjoyed trying the Sekuwa (pork). It’s amazing how much flavor is packed into the coating and how juicy some of that pork was. Outstanding experience overall. I would eat that Butter Chicken every day of the week. We will be back many times, I’m sure. Please note, the ambiance is very laid-back, which was perfect for us.
