"I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all. They call it Nepalese but it's just a fancy name for Indian food that I love. There are many excellent Indian restaurants here, but this is not one of them. Firstly, there were no other customers when we got there. Two parties came in after us and we are looked after before us. We expressly told the waitress everything mild. When we ordered a birayani she forgot to tell us until we complained that it is always spicy. We started with an inedible lentil soup. It was cold and salty. We asked for hot tea and she said they had gone out that afternoon. Our chicken tikka was all sauce and very little chicken. We sent it back and told them to add more chicken. The shrimp dish was the same - all sauce and hardly any shrimp. The sauces over the rice were pleasant, but overpriced for how little you got. We enjoyed the starter of Mo MO and the Chana Masala. I love Mango Lassi, but they just poured it out of a 1 gallon container. It was probably pre-made in the supermarket. Don't go here when we have such a large and diverse Indian community with excellent restaurants across the region."

"This place is a whole vibe!!! The outside patio is very cute, perfect for a date night or girls day drinking. Whew but I loved it. My husband and daughter had a great time. We started with some margaritas and the special of the day ceviche it was delicious. My husband had Ropa vieja and I had the Cochinita Pibil. My daughter had the cheeseburger sliders. We also had a side of rice and beans, Elote and dessert. We tried the cookie skillet with ice cream, churros and tres leche. The service was great thanks to Jayden (not sure how to spell his name) and the food was phenomenal. We will definitely will return!!!"

"This restaurant is undoubtedly the best in the near west suburbs. The food showcases a diverse Mediterranean flair, featuring tapas and mezze appetizers, bread served in charming Spanish tuna tins, and beautifully prepared entrees that are bursting with flavor. On the night I visited, I had the steak frites, and they generously seasoned those delicious potatoes with salt. The crispy pork belly is a must-try, and don't overlook the desserts either. The menu changes frequently, so it's worth coming back often. The atmosphere was vibrant, with a diverse mix of diners, and it has a welcoming, family-friendly vibe while still feeling upscale without any pretentiousness. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, showing a genuine passion for their work."

"Their new space is really beautiful and our food was good nothing special, but totally serviceable. We ordered caprese salad and I was surprised to see it served with picked tomatoes rather than fresh. I found the service underwhelming at our last visit it somehow felt rushed but also very slow. When we arrived, our table was covered in crumbs, which the host brushed off onto the floor which his hand. This resulted in the seats also getting covered in crumbs, so we had to clean those up too. Two of us ordered drinks a cocktail and a wine midway through the dinner the cocktail drinker asked a busboy about ordering a beer; he said he'd get the waiter, but then a while later the waiter just showed up with another of the same cocktail AND another serving of wine which he just started pouring. Nothing egregious, but just enough that it didn't feel like a relaxing night out."

"Italian restaurant in Elmwood Park, that's been around for decades. Good food , nice ambience and good service! The Italian bread and dip( parmesan cheese mixed with olive oil and a little pepper flakes) are goooood! For appetizers I started with 1/2 dozen Baked Clams- Whole littleneck clams on the half shell, topped with seasoned breadcrumbs, fresh herbs, garlic, , they were on the smaller side which I assume maybe because they're not in season- they were ok, I'll pass on these next time then I also ordered the Pasta Fagioli soup, which is Cannellini beans, small tubular pasta, and plum tomatoes in a light savory tomato broth with garlic and olive oil, very GOOD! You must try this !! Annnnnd I also ordered the Caprese Salad-thick sliced tomatoes, bocconcini cheese, and fresh basil drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar You can never go wrong with a caprese salad and here it's very good too So for dinner I chose the Rigatoni pasta with crumbled spicy sausage, tomato, and marjoram in a creamy sauce topped with parmesan. And let me tell you, this was a winner for me! my dinner partner ordered the Salmon Lemon Butter W/Spinach- Salmon fillet in a lemon butter sauce, served with sauted spinach.. omg this was SOOO good. A must to order it you like good Salmon !! To finish we ordered the in house made canoli- which was good too but the winner had to be the Lemon sorbet... nice and refreshning after a great meal! They just recently started opening for breakfast so I'll definately be coming back to try that out and give a review of that in the near future! Buon Appetito !!"
