Overall, the food was amazing! I would recommend others going there and trying it out. The biggest problem was with the waitress.. She didn’t speak any English, whatsoever. She didn’t even try to acknowledge us. (I have nothing against people who can’t speak English, but at least try to say “Hello” or when I’m ordering food, look into the menu and watch what I’m pointing towards..) Anyway, she ran away and called the chef, who was preparing other people’s food and made him talk to us, and take our order. He was really kind to do that. Congrats on him! Sorry, but the thing about the waitress wasn’t cool at all.
The Manager/Owner should talk to their staff about this and at least make them learn basic conversations in English.
(Because, for example, if I was allergic to something and the waitress would not understand me that could end up badly..)

This looked like an interesting dinner choice. We called and asked about handicapped access. We were assured that it is, Even the bathrooms were supposed to be accessible. When we followed the directions to their address we quickly discovered "you can't get there from here". Only stairs to get it! Clearly NOT wheelchair accessible! Why did they tell us that they were?

Terrible service. The menu does not correspond to reality. Some food is only done on some days. Waited for nothing. Just waste of time. Ruined the mood for the rest of the day.

Although not really an authentic Asian restaurant but rather a westernized mildly Asian-inspired fast food joint with very predictable menu - food is still good (for what you might expect from a place like this.) Would rate one of the best so-called Asian places of Tartu.

Atmosphere is quite cheap and tasteless (tries to give sort of Asian feel I guess), does not really make one want to stick around for more than a fast meal or just a drop by to pick up take-away. Plates and glasses are made of plastic and quite worn out. Fortunately they have a really nice terrace.

Waitress was very modest and doubtful - probably not a good qualities for that particular job as the service has a great influence on overall experience. She did not smile or anything just wrote our order down and got out as quickly as possible. I did not mind that she did not pour us drinks (or as a matter of fact did not bother to open caps of our beverages) as it is obviously no place of fine dining but asking for a feedback and/or whether we needed something more (or at least sticking around so we could ask) would have been much appreciated. Paid the bill at the counter as the waitress did not care about whatsoever and did not even check on us after bringing the main course.

All in all - would recommend as a fast food take-away.

Food is far from real Nepalese and service very unprofessional and poor. Discrace for Nepalese food and kitchen.
