Nanglo Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Washington

A brand new Nepalese / Indian restaurant on the H Street corridor. Situated on H & 13, Nanglo is tastefully decorated. Bright open windows and hanging beaded ropes give the restaurant an open ambiance.

Let's talk about the food. The portions are generous - come ready to EAT, DC! The prices are fair. I can't think of when the last time I said that was, can you?? We (party of two vegetarians) got the mango lassi, virgin mango mojito, cauliflower bezule (breaded fried cauliflower "wings"), sev batata puri (aka "pani puri" at other Indian restaurants - rice puffs [puri] filled with vegetables and crunchy thin sev and with a delicious sauce), samosa chat (deconstructed samosa), paneer makhani (paneer in a tomato cream gravy), and garlic naan. We had leftovers and probably didn't even need the entree, but have no regrets.

With the goal of supporting newest local businesses along H Street NE, a friend and I did a lunch crawl on a Thursday afternoon. Out of the four spots we visited, Nanglo was one of our favorites. Here's why.

1. Food: The menu focuses on Nepali and Indian food with many options. To feed two of us, we ordered the Nanglo Set for Two for $48, which was a great price for the amount of food you get. (It can feed three people.)

It's chicken heavy with chicken wings, chicken on the bone, biryani with chicken, etc. However, there are a few other dishes like potatoes with an incredible sauce and more. Everything had incredible spice and flavor and was well prepared.

2. Space: It's large with many tables, booths, and a bar.

3. Drinks: The Nanglo Set for Two comes with two mango lassis that were delicious! I'd go back just for that!

Overall, we...

My first time eating Nepalese and it won't be my last! I am so grateful for the staff who helped us decide what to order on our Saturday lunch date. Although I'd had palak chat before, this was by far the best I've ever had. I'll go back to Nanglo even if it's just to eat more of that!

Knowing we were noobies, the kind server recommended a Thakali Thali, a popular, complete Nepali meal, so we chose the "Nanglo Set for Two Non-Veg" because we'd just finished a workout and needed protein. The entire dish was delicious, but the momos stood out as it was our first time having them. If you don't get the Thakali Thali, you must try the chicken momo and veg chilly momo. It was more than enough for two people, so we took the chicken biryani and veggie...
