This place has a great selection of Indian food. I had the lamb keema (medium spicy level) masala with garlic Naan. Although the price of this dish is 20.00, it was worth it. This has a creamy lamb curry flavor with lamb cubes. I felt the portion could have been bigger due to the price. I recommend this ace and will be a returning customer.

Mango Chicken (medium) is literally one of the best dishes we have had and is now one of our top favorites!! Previous visits we noted a pretty big difference between mild and medium on the spice but that's pretty common. The server was very friendly and the service was good. They were really busy so it took a little while for the server to get to us but that is understandable. The atmosphere is very nice. Downtown parking in Rapid City can be a bit tough but not always a bad thing to take a nice walk through downtown. We parked in a lot across the street since it was after 5. The cheese naan was some of the best we have had.

Visit cute bistro! Garlic cheese Naan was hot and delicious. I recommend the Alligator Bhuna and Chicken Biryani; both are generous portions. I couldn't take my leftovers because I didn't have a place to safely put it, so I was very sad to leave all that food behind. Excellent food and service!

LOVELY LOVELY PLACE. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS AND FLAVORFUL. I APPRECIATE IT ALL BEING BROUGHT OUT TOGETHER. THE KIDS - picky picky eaters - ATE UP THEIR CHICKEN LOLLIPOPS. We came at busy hour so it took some time to be seated and served BUT it was worth the wait. The mango lassi 😱 best one EVERRRRRRRRRR. I’ve never had one where I could actually taste the damn mango. It was thick. It was amazing.

Very good! Got the momo and the goat curry + papadam. Highly recommend their food especially if you’re interested in Nepali food over Indian type food. Enjoy!

I found a post on Reddit with restaurant suggestions in the Rapid City area. The Kathmandu Bistro was mentioned several times so I decided to try it. The service was outstanding - very attentive and the food arrived piping hot! I ordered the chicken saag (best I've ever had and I've tried a few!) and the bistro naan (with coconut, cherries, nuts and raisins - so yummy!) The portion size of both was generous and I only ate half of both items. Certainly looking forward to the leftovers. Would highly recommend if you are in the area! Very reasonably priced as well. Thanks for a great meal!

The food was delicious and very filling. I had the Himalayan chai to drink and enjoyed it. My husband ordered the lamb curry and I had the goat curry. They were both excellent and went well with the garlic and cheese naan. The server was very good about refilling our waters and bringing us more rice. We will definitely eat here again.

This place is delicious! The food was quality and fresh, and I highly recommend. The servers were so nice and kind. We forgot to leave a tip, so we came back to leave one. It was when they were about to close, but he was still ready to take an order even then, though we didn’t even want to order. We will definitely be back, and we highly recommend!
