Review:

This place has been open for a month. The staff is very friendly and the ambiance is great. Quiet, tv's showing the Nepalase landscape in high resolution video and the seating is comfortable. Nice cutlery and just gives the small place an upscale feel.. No chili's or fast casual vibe here at all. This is a throwback to dining the way it was.

Started with complimentary Papadum bread served with 6 different sauces. Everything from mango chutney to mint to pickle to chili to sesame seed sauce. Very good.

The momocha chicken dumplings were very tasty. We chose the chicken but they also have a veggie option. The sesame sauce pairs well with this and the flavors are amazing. A little touch of back end spice heat... perfect.

The 2 lamb dishes could not have been any more different in flavor and presentation. Lamb Rogan Josh (ordered medium) with the mix of their regional garam, yogurt and masala was tasty.. and those kabobs came with their own unique sauce. The kabobs (ordered medium) were served over a bed of grilled onions and green peppers and served with a fresh side salad.

White rice was served with the entrees.

The Naan is typical Nepalese. The native crispness is there but this particular bread had a soft edge to it. Very good.

They bring you your own vat of water for refills and they were fairly attentive and very cordial and helpful with boxes toward the end of the meal.

A slight criticism and really the only one is that the kabobs were a little over cooked for my taste but were still amazing. They also have goat on their menu and that's next on the list.

Overall this is a welcome and much needed addition to the Fort Collins food scene. Give them a try.. trust me.. its worth it..... and the pricing is very reasonable for this type of food. The best food we have had in this category locally and we have been eating in Fort Collins for 31 years.

They are open 7 days a week:

11:00 - 9 Monday- Friday 11:30 - 9 Saturday & Sunday.

Peace and...

The food was tasty and they probably have one of the better naans for the restaurants in town (light, a little crispy on one side from the tandoor, but still soft on the other). We had the momocha appetizer. The skins were thin and filling substantial and a good texture. For entrees, we got the Kukhura Ko Sekuwa and Lamb Kabobs and both were flavorful. This place feels authentically Nepalese. The dishes that they make that overlap with Indian restaurants still have a more Nepalese flavor profile; generally lighter and more subtle in flavor, with a greater emphasis on fresh herbs and vegetables, while Indian cuisine often features more intense flavors from a wide range of spices. If you want your dishes spicier, make sure you emphasize you can take the heat because I do think they err on being more careful about that. A good addition to the Nepalese offerings in...

Chulo, a new Nepali restaurant, has quickly become a favorite of mine. Having visited a few times already, I'm consistently impressed by the quality of the food and the warmth of the staff.

The menu offers a delightful array of traditional Nepali dishes, each bursting with flavor. From the comforting Dal Bhat to the tantalizing Momo, every dish is prepared with care and attention to detail. The spices are expertly balanced, creating a symphony of tastes that leave you wanting more.

Beyond the food, the service at Chulo is exceptional. The staff members are incredibly polite and friendly, always ready with a smile and eager to assist. They create a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

If you're looking for an authentic Nepali dining experience, Chulo is a must-visit. With its delicious food and outstanding service, it's a true gem. I highly...
