Hope this won't stay a secret in Pasadena! So delicious!

I came to Tibet Nepal House because of the extensive veggie/vegan menu for a friend visiting from out of town. I'd never been here before, so I really didn't know what to expect, but I was thoroughly impressed: contrary to the other reviews, our appetizers arrived very quickly, meals were served in a completely reasonable amount of time (no longer than any other restaurant I've been to), service was great, our orders were perfect, and the food was DELICIOUS. I'd go back again in a heartbeat and be enthusiastic about ordering something else on the menu instead of "the usual"! Portions were big, and the food was so good -- check it out! We loved our dinners and can't wait to go back.

• Pros: very close to the Memorial Park metro stop and Colorado shops, great food and service
• Cons: none

below average food

I wouldn't say service was terrible, but the servers were not very helpful. We had a lot of questions that they couldn't answer. We had the lamb curry and it was quite good. They recommended us yak meat, and ordering it was the worst decision we could've made. They brought out a small dish of dark cubes with a couple pieces of green pepper. It cost $17 for about 7 pieces of dried up, over cooked steak. Everything else was just average. Probably wouldn't go again.

LOUSY SERVICE, one good dish

by jimodo at Citysearch

This was my first time at the restaurant, and it was a horrid experience, except that the lamb curry was delicious. The waiter told me that I could order any of the chicken or lamb dishes as part of the Nepali Set menu, and then told me that I could only order a chicken or lamb curry. My partner tried to order his Chyamtango Pujaari spicy, and the waiter told him 'It's already spicy', and it was the blandest thing I've ever eaten: we could taste no spices at all. Certainly there was no dry chili, cumin or garlic in evidence. We asked for water, and 15 minutes later, had to grab another staff member to ask again. We ordered garlic naan, and we received plain. People around us were getting served while we sat waiting. Finally, in disgust, we asked for the check, and when the waiter told me that I still had dessert coming, I complained about all that was wrong and said I didn't want to stay any longer. There was no apology forthcoming, and the bill was for the full amount. We left no tip. I've never done that before, and I'm 54 years old.

All of this is too bad, because the lamb curry was delicious. I suspect that I'll come back some day and try to have a better time, but this was one LOUSY restaurant experience.
