Fodor's Expert Review Himal Chuli

This cozy little Nepalese eatery is a staple among State Street's many ethnic restaurants. Kick off the meal with a cup of dal or plate of samosas, followed by a hearty vegetarian tarkari (spicy vegetable stew) of the day. Several poultry dishes, like chicken simmered in Nepali spices or prepared barbecue-style, will satisfy meat lovers. The combination platter is a veritable culinary tour of Nepal and includes momochas (steamed vegetable dumplings packed with peanut paste), a samosa, roti, and cup of dal. Be forewarned that while the waitstaff is kind, the service is slow.
