We were in search of a restaurant open for lunch in downtown Asheville on Christmas Day. Kathmandu Kitchen was one of several open spots, and I'm glad we picked it! Good flavorful food, vegan choices. Enjoyed the atmosphere.

We ate at Katmandu for Thanksgiving dinner. What a nice change from the traditional. We had the dinner buffet, so many choices. I enjoyed all the choi es and loves the palak. The decor was selughtful and the staff helpful. I can't wait to get...back to Asheville and eat at Katmandu again.More

I think this place gets overlooked because it is sandwiched between other more popular places and it does not have a flashy facade, but eating here has never disappointed me. The place is decorated much like an Indian shrine; not fancy, but colorful and spiritual....Service can be slow when they are understaffed, but the food always is first rate and simply presented. Great vegetarian options. Your patience will be rewarded.More

I have been to Kathmandu a few times for the lunch buffet during the week. I was pleasantly surprised to find they were offering the buffet on a SUNDAY, so we went yesterday and had a glorious meal. From the minute you walk into this...place you know it is going to be a wonderful experience. The music, the decor and the aroma of the food are all cues that you are in the right place for a lovel meal. I always have a mango lassi because I love them. They always provide naan bread as part of the buffet, which is great. The offerings on the buffet line always vary. On our last visit all but two of the items on offer were vegetarian, so our vegetarian friends with us were very happy. I particularly enjoyed the 9 vegetable dish they served. This restaurant is near Pritchard Park downtown, so on-street parking is very scarce, but there is a parking lot (for a fee) right around the corner so don't be put off by lack of parking.More

I’ve never been here in the months I’ve lived here and now I have. I can’t tell you how amazing this food is in a review. I can only tell you I was having an out of body experience. It was very good. I had...the buffet and an iced chai and loved it. I apparently thought the dessert they provided at the buffet was a salad topping. It wasn’t. But it was really good on my salad. “You know something is good when you put it on the wrong thing and it doesn’t taste bad” -my co worker. I had a crunchy dessert. The staff was kind. The atmosphere made me feel like I was on a pit stop on the way to a spiritual enlightenment in Himalayas. (Racist?) DONT care. The food was terrific. Coming back again.More

My wife and I both ate Indian food. Will have to try the Nepalese dishes next time. Each of us ate at the lunch buffet which was the best value and had the most options. Desserts, Indian dishes, Mango Lassi. They serve plain Naan's, but...try the Katmandu Naan's with cashews and raisins. They are to die for!More

I had the Malai Kofta a vegetarian meatball in a rich cream sauce and loved it. Never had that before. Also the Momo which is a favorite of mine from Nepal and it was good. The food at the buffet looked delicious but we went...for something different. Right on Patton street a few blocks from Pack Square and worth the try.More
