“ Best Nepalese food! They let me pick how spicy I could handle. I got extra to go with my leftovers for dinner the next night! Thanks to my coworker who suggested this great little hole in the wall! Mom and Pop place not a chain. ”

“ I'd never had Nepalese food before coming here for lunch a few months ago. I ordered the beef thukpa, a Nepali noodle soup. It was delicious and the service was great. I've since been back several times and the quality hasn't wavered. I'd recommend Chamling to anyone, especially if you enjoy Chinese and Indian food. ”

“ Chamling sits in the space previously occupied by the Empress of China, which was, at one time, my favorite Chinese restaurant in Louisville. It's old school inside. I came on a Friday afternoon for the lunch buffet. I was meeting a old friend for lunch and we chose Chamling partly because we used to eat at the Empress all the time. Memories. Serving Chinese, Nepalese, and Indian food, Chamling has a bit of an identity crisis. That didn't bother us one bit however, as we were up for sampling different items from the buffet. The lunch buffet is the small roll-out kind, but it had plenty to offer. I actually prefer buffets this size, as too many choices can often cloud my blonde brain. The buffet was fairly well-stocked, clean, and seemingly fresh. We watched the staff tend to it the entire time we were there; bonus points for that. The buffet had mostly Chinese and Indian food, which suited us both fine. We both liked everything that we tried. I particularly liked the crab Rangoon, samosas, pakoras, green beans, and the hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup was some of the best I've had from a buffet. That alone would warrant a return trip for me. The service was friendly and efficient. We both agreed that we would be up for returning, but make a note that I am not very picky or overly critical, and she is even less so. Having said that, I would recommend the lunch buffet at Chamling and I would like to return and order off the menu at some point. ”

“ I wanted to come here to try the lunch buffet. I mean: Nepalese, Chinese and Indian? That is a mix even I don't know how to choose. But I came on a wrong day: no buffet on Friday! Oh, well. I wasn't going to walk out on a mom-and-pop place. So I settled down and ordered a Nepalese dish: #147 Pork Shukute. The server told me it is "dried" pork? Huh?? I'm brave so I pointed to #147 and ordered. And please serve it like it should be spiced. I'm brave. While I waited for my food, I couldn't help but notice the remnants of the last restaurant: Empress of China. It is so very Chinese still. It is just like the menu: Nepalese family operates a restaurant in a former Chinese restaurant, with Indian food! But thanks to their geographical proximity...this might just work? My food arrives. So shukute is like jerky. The meat is dried like jerky, then deep fried, then stir fried with onion, peppers and spices. The resulting combo is very tasty and spicy. It was just spicy enough to make me sweat, but not enough to stop. While I thought the portion was a bit small...but it is just right. You need a set of strong jaw and teeth to chomp through an entire plate of jerky with few fillers. I can't wait to come back for the buffet...Monday through Thursday only. ”
