Frequently Asked Questions

On the home page, tap “Use my location” to sort listings by distance, or search by city/neighborhood (for example: “Jackson Heights”, “Queens”, or “downtown Denver”). If you know what you want, search by dish like momo, thukpa, sekuwa, or dal bhat.

Yes. Try searches like “momo near me”, “jhol momo”, “thukpa”, “thakali thali”, “sekuwa”, or “dal bhat”. You’ll usually get the best results by combining city + dish (for example: “momo in Chicago”).

Your browser asks for permission. If you allow it, we use your approximate coordinates to compute distances and show nearby results; we don’t require an account. For more details on data handling, see our Privacy Policy.

Distance is calculated from your location to each restaurant’s latitude/longitude using a standard “as-the-crow-flies” formula (Haversine). Real driving time can differ based on traffic and routes.

For “near me” results, we sort by distance first. When we highlight “best” or “featured” spots, we generally favor stronger Google ratings and higher review counts, then lean into clear specialties (momo, thukpa, sekuwa, thali sets).

Our directory is built from public business information (for example, Google Places data like name, address, hours, photos, and ratings) plus community suggestions. If you notice something off, please tell us — corrections help everyone.

Some searches can return Google Maps “grounded” suggestions (helpful for broad or out-of-area queries). In-site restaurant pages are available for places that exist in our directory dataset.

Very common. Many restaurants serve both Nepalese and Indian dishes, especially in larger metro areas. If you want that style, search for “Nepalese & Indian” or look for listings tagged as “Indian Fusion”.

A great first order is momo (steamed or jhol) + thukpa. If you want a full meal, look for dal bhat or a thakali thali set. If you like grilled flavors, try sekuwa.

There’s overlap in spices and some familiar curries, but Nepalese cuisine has distinct staples and styles — especially momo variations, thukpa-style noodle soups, achar/pickles, and regional thali traditions.

Email us with the restaurant name, city/state, and a Google Maps link (plus what should change — hours, phone, website, address, etc.). We’ll verify and update as quickly as we can.

Our on-site directory currently focuses on California. We’re expanding coverage over time, and search can still surface relevant options via Maps suggestions when available.
