Best WLM Reviews
Have not ordered any heavy meal there in a while because I believe going to a Nepali restaurant and not ordering their momo is a sin. So do yourself a great favor and next time when you go there, order their aloo dum and steamed chicken momo or jhol momo and get yourself completely lost in the bliss of its flavor and warmth. And of course. Do not at any cost forget to order the chaa. Cause otherwise the meal is simply incomplete. For dessert do order their rice pudding. Probably the most authentic and tasty rice pudding I’ve ever had outside of the one my ma used to make. Also, don’t miss out on their chicken pakora. Another absolute banger. The staff is very sweet. Did you also know that they sell multiple authentic Nepali jewelry and small bags in there? Also some spices and green tea? Definitely check those out too on your next visit.
Food is old, no flavor and no personal interactions with anyone. You have to order through QR code and pay before getting your food even to dine in. Once food got here the rice was old and hard, curry had no flavor.
I have to say this is an amazing Indian food, I would say it stands up very well to others I’ve had in Europe and throughout the US. The samosas were perfectly cooked and had an excellent balance of flavor. The Chicken Vindaloo had the perfect level of spice. It was so good I had to force myself to stop eating. The Chicken Tikka Masala was also amazing. The favor was perfect. They can hit the spice levels exactly to what you order! The garlic naan was outstanding too. I would highly recommend this place. It’s worth the drive from Pensacola any-day!!!!
Interesting place that I'm curious about and will be back. Very much a locals place and low brow but not a fault. Service seems to be a constant issue, hence the signs?! Honestly it's more of a concept issue and the fact there was only kitchen staff and one front end person for a fairly large and busy dining area. It was divided into two sides. On the right appeared to have smaller tables and booths with dividing walls for a more intimate setting. But make no mistake, this is not date night atmosphere. On the left where we ended up were larger tables and booths. In the back is pick-up orders and a small shop with food items etc I didn't get a chance to browse. They do have physical menus but you order through a QR code, which isn't new but is kind of confusing and can be off putting to some. They also have a kiosk for ordering if your interwebs aren't cooperating. Just order everything dine-in to your table number, but it doesn't communicate wait times. Also couldn't find alcoholic drinks, but maybe we should've used the tablet? The food isn't strictly Indian, but honestly I don't know what is anyway. If you're here I'm assuming you have a open mind, especially given the lack of anything similar in the area. I traveled from Mississippi. So nothing was really 'familiar' and I'm good with that. For apps we had the papdi chat and bhatmas chura, the former of which was the star for me. I would describe them as 'Nepolease' spiced captain crunch berries (served cold) and trail mix respectively. I don't understand it myself but would come back for the chat alone. The bullet and garlic naan were standard but good. The momo vegetables were this mix of a samosa and a fried Chinese dumpling. The saag while good, was a disappointment. This may have been due to expectations as I palak paneer is a favorite. It also may be due to me ordering the mild version. I've never ordered Tikka masala, but the medium spice version, which was similar to previous dishes but levels above in terms of flavor. Long story short, you may need to up the spice level to maximize flavor. You may also need to double check your order before you press send, as I had to order the Tikka separate togo after the meal. If you've had a better initial experience, or have had the patience to enjoy it for what it is, I see the loyalty. But I also understand the low reviews given our service and the fact that using an impersonal website to order dine-in isn't a popular choice given the unfamiliarity most people would have with the cuisine. Given all that, I want to come for buffet hours to try a bunch of dishes at once. I also later talked to a local at oyster city that raved about it, so it definitely deserves a return trip.
Man, food wasn't terrible, wasn't great, would order again at an early time in the day to see if quality is better, I recommend try it if you like north Indian food
Just be warner, I have a HIGH tolerance for spice, and the EXTRA spicy tikki masala was ~almost~ too hot for me to eat.
Wife got the least spicy option and there wasn't much flavor naan was great and food was done fast.
Order carryout and usually very good but today was different everything was gross. I ordered fish and goat curry and the fried veggies was stuck together even the Nana bread was off. Will give it another try because usually good.
Northern style Indian food that tastes good. We stopped here to eat lunch. We were seated promptly. We placed order by using QR code. We ordered samosas as an appetizer, tikka Marsala, garlic nun and mango lassi as a drink. The food was good. I really liked samosas and mango lassi. Tikki masala had a bit too much tomato sauce for my liking. None the less, extensive menu, prompt service and good food. I’d eat here again.
This was my first time trying at this restaurant and I’ve always have high hope. As I went in there the first time after covid and it was disappointing. Me and my bf went in and we had to wait, there wasn’t enough people to come out help us. My boyfriend he is from Nepal and also had been eaten at this place before, and he told me that this place used to be so much people and the food was good. But what we had there was a bummer… We had the momos was good, but other than that it was alright. The coconut chicken I ordered was salty and I don’t taste any coconut, and the lamb curry my boyfriend got also kinda salty. It’s just wasn’t as good as the other Indian restaurants that I’ve had. We also try to get some Buffalo momos or any Buffalo meats but they didn’t have that. The chow main to me it was good but he doesn’t like it. Chicken choila I didn’t like it because it was dry and they used chicken breast was kind of a bad idea. And the desert I had at the end, I think it was the mango ice cream but it’s very small and all I tasted was ice no cream… I hope they can do better next time so I can try the best food over there, but for now was disappointing…
