My ratings of Nepalese restaurants in New England based on my dining experience at these places. These are the opinions of only one person, and each person's experiences and opinions about these restaurants could be different. I am putting this up based solely on my dining experience at these places and this rating/write-up bears no intentional malice towards anyone

Kathmandu Spice, Arlington, MA

Food: A-

Nepalese and Indian influenced fusion cuisine. Lots of Nepalese items on the menu - fairly authentic cooking. Everything I tasted on the menu was good - mutton, fish and chicken curries, momos, pakoras and kheer.

Ambiance: B

Decent Nepalese-influenced decor, fresh new look

Service:B-

There has been a remarkable improvement in service from when they first started. I can no longer say the service is slow. A bit disorganized, perhaps, but not as slow the last time I visited. It appears they are still working out the chinks and I hope they sort out the service issues quickly. But A for effort.

Himalayan Bistro, West Roxbury, MA

Food: A-

Limited Nepalese items on the menu with the bulk of it devoted to Indian dishes. All the Nepalese dishes I tried were delicious and authentic. A few more items would have gotten them an A

Ambiance: A

Pleasant decor, with a good collection of thankas and other decorative items from Nepal. The best amongst the three restaurants in this review in terms of ambiance. Also great value for money.

Service: A

Courteous maitre d' and wait staff. Prompt service except if you order the momos which take about 20 - 25 minutes (the waitstaff will give you a heads-up about it).

Cafe Momo, Manchester, NH

Food: B

Except for a handful of items on the menu, the food could have passed for eclectic American, perhaps an indication of the preferences of the local clientèle.

Decor: B

Pretty in its own way but some might find it a bit too hippyesque

Service: A

Very friendly staff.
