Jyoti Kitchen Indian and Nepali Food — Restaurant in Kansas City

Dine in for a Nepalese feast! Jyoti Kitchen is a place I'll come back to again and again. They seem to do good business with carry-out, but it was a great experience dining IN! The prices are really reasonable. We ordered veggie pakora, chicken momo, goat curry (bone in!!), dessert of gulab jamun, lassi, and chai. Added sides of butter naan and mixed pickle.

Hey everyone! If you're looking for authentic Nepali food in Kansas City, Jyoti Kitchen is the place to go! As a Nepali, I can confidently say this is the only restaurant in the area that truly captures the flavors of Nepal.

The food here is absolutely delicious and made with so much care. What I love most is that everything is prepared fresh—nothing is pre-made or rushed. You can taste the authenticity in every bite, from the aromatic spices to the perfectly cooked dishes.

Been wanting to go to this Indian restaurant for a long time that is not too far where I live and it wasn't really actually busy and I was pretty much the only person that I was there around lunch time and also it mostly has their sodas and cans instead of by fountain machines and also the way it looks it might have been another restaurant before this place and also that I still have to wait to get my food cooked and also the food was really fine that I had that chicken curry and naan bread as the side and the chicken curry was alright and not really as spicy hot like what other Indian cuisines I had before and also recommend something to go for lunch and can get take out if you want something that's Indian and probably go back there sometime later and maybe get...
