Nanglo Momos & Curry — Restaurant in Appleton

I recently dined at Nanglo Indian and Momo, and overall, it was a delightful experience with some standout dishes and a few that didn't quite hit the mark.

I started with the Chicken 65, which I found to be flavorful and spicy as expected. However, the chicken was quite tough and hard to chew compared to other versions I've had across the U.S. This dish didn't quite live up to my expectations, especially given its reputation.

On a brighter note, the Chicken Qorma was outstanding! The flavors were zesty, the vegetables were perfectly crunchy, and the overall taste was solid. It really stood out among the dishes I tried.

Then the chicken curry, curry itself was verygood, but the chicken pieces could have used a bit more seasoning to elevate them.

The Garlic Naan deserves a special mention—soft as cotton and incredibly tasty. I could easily have eaten two of those!

The Chicken Chow Mein was another highlight, featuring perfectly cooked chicken with a fantastic blend of Indo-Nepalese-Chinese flavors.

As for dessert, the Kheer (rice pudding) was decent but could have benefited from a smoother consistency, as the rice was a bit too firm. On the other hand, the chai was ultra-tasty and a lovely complement to the meal.

The Chicken Tikka (grilled) didn't excite me as much, but my family members enjoyed it, so it seems to cater to varied tastes.

Chai deserve a special mention took me back to my south Asian roots!

The service was wonderful; the staff was kind and attentive, and the ambiance of the restaurant was great. Overall, I had a good time and a positive experience. I look forward to trying something different on...

I will be rating this establishment in three areas Food, Service, and Atmosphere.

As far as I know this appears to be the only functioning Indian buffet in Appleton right now. When I learned of its existence I had to stop in.

Food: 5/5 ✨ on my visit I had to try the chicken Tika Masala with naan and I have to say that the buffet serving of it is absolutely delicious. The naan also always comes out very fresh from there clay oven. Very good stuff! The sauce is very good and the chicken is very uniform.

Service: 5/5 ✨ The service is always prompt and pleasant always delivered with a smile. You are always quickly served with water or any beverage you might request. Tables are kept clean and they check the food often to top it off. The establishment is very clean every time I am there.

Atmosphere: 5/5 ✨ Being a new establishment everything is clean and pleasant. I am sure improvements will be made with time and in the mean time it is a nice place to sit for a meal. The only thing I can think of is that the TV seems to be playing video of landscapes but audio that’s describing food dishes. I am sure that there are plenty of relevant videos that can be played in the background of a restaurant that have audio that’s synced with video.

All that being said I have visited more than once and will be going back for...

Curries were excellent, the naan seemed to be made in house and was light, really nice and really flavorful and overall was a stellar experience. One thing that really rubbed me wrong though is the place is called Nanglo Momos. I would expect the momos to be authentic and excellent and to appear as they do on the image on the sign, and on the menu - round, sort of like a bao. But even if they were irregular or crescent or long, if they were clearly handmade that'd be great! These however seemed to be off the shelf frozen dumplings, I believe I know exactly the varietysteamed and served for quite a high price, in a very, very thin noodle. I love dumplings. I don't even mind frozen dumplings. But for a place with momo in the name, they were quite disappointing, and from looking through the other photos this appears to be typical, and I see no authentic looking momos. That's all fine, the curry was excellent and I look forward to trying more of the menu, but be warned on the momos, it's an off the shelf...
