Description
St. Louis' first and only Nepalese restaurant has moved from the fringes of the loft district to the Forest Park Southeast's up-and-coming Grove neighborhood, but it retains much of its hole-in-the wall charm. More important, the food is still fantastic, from the simple pleasures of mo-mos (steamed pork dumplings from Tibet) to the complex interplays of meat, vegetables and spices that fill daal, bhat, tarkari ra saag (a complete Nepalese meal: rice, meat, vegetables, pickled mango, a lemon wedge and a slice of cucumber). Be sure to read the letter posted at each place-setting describing owner Devi States' remarkable life and commitment to public health.
