About
Lali Son: Nepalese Restaurant
Welcome to Lali Son: Nepalese Restaurant, a culinary gem nestled in Leander, Texas, located at 1500 S Bagdad Rd. As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I am excited to introduce you to this vibrant haven that beautifully encapsulates the essence of Nepalese culture through its food.
From the moment you step in, you are greeted by warmth and authenticity, traits that mirror the passion of owner Surya Shah. His enthusiastic engagement with customers and dedication to quality create a dining experience that feels personal and heartfelt. Lali Son has carved out a special niche as a HALAL restaurant, catering to diverse dietary needs while ensuring that every dish respects the authentic flavors of Nepal.
One of the standout offerings is the Chicken 65 Biryani. This dish elevates the traditional biryani to a new level, boasting perfectly balanced spices that dance on the palate. The chicken is tender, the rice fluffy, and the aroma is nothing short of intoxicating. Each bite transports you on a culinary journey, proving that this biryani is more than just a meal; it is an experience.
Chili Momos have also garnered rave reviews. Customers like Nihila Kamaraj highlight their vegetarian chili momos as a true revelation, ideal for anyone searching for the perfect mix of spice and flavor. The accompanying rasamalai adds a delightful sweetness to balance the meal, showcasing the kitchen's ability to marry distinct tastes seamlessly.
For those who crave adventure, I recommend opting for the Lali Special Spice; it amplifies the heat and takes your dining experience to the next level, as suggested by Jayanth Krishna. Be prepared, however, as the spice levered can be more intense than you might expect, as noted by Ashley Stone regarding the Chicken Chowmein. This restaurant provides a robust representation of how Nepalese spices can invigorate classic dishes.
Despite its humble beginnings, operating from a gas station, the journey of Lali Son to a food truck park speaks volumes about its resilience and community support. Customers have found delight in reasonably priced and meticulously prepared dishes that champion authenticity over pretension.
Whether you are looking to satisfy a craving for Nepalese cuisine or eager to explore a new flavor profile, I wholeheartedly recommend Lali Son: Nepalese Restaurant. Each dish embodies a rich culinary heritage, making it a must-visit for both veterans of Nepalese food and those eager to embark on a new culinary adventure. Get ready to indulge in an experience that transcends mere dining; it's a celebration of culture and community!

“ Lali Son is fantastic. We've never actually been to the brick and mortar location - we always order via Door Dash. The food is great and consistent. I highly recommend. Now, this is my ONE complaint: Every time I order the Chicken Chowmein (kid friendly on door dash description), it's so spicy, I can't eat it. Only leaving this in the review because I'd like the restaurant to know that maybe the description on Door Dash is incorrect.OR maybe I'm just a baby and I should shut my mouth :) ”
“ Pleasantly surprised by the wonderful food we ordered via Uber eats from here! We were craving Nepalese momos and we usually order from another place . But wanted to try this new restaurant for a change . We ordered the vegetarian chili momos (medium spicy), chicken biryani (medium spicy) and rasamalai. Everything tasted great! The spice level was so apt for us and we usually do not prefer biryani that is heavy on the masala and this one was just right with the correct amount of spices for us and really tasted good . Rasamalai was soft and well made . Chili momos were the highlight and were really good ! Will definitely order again from here or go in person to check out the ambiance and service . ”

“ Excellent food. Very authentic spices. Many time spicy means more chillies, but this was different. Highly recommended. We tried the Chilli Momos (veg), Chole Bhature and chilli paneer. Edited about couple of years after my first post, food is as good as before and the flavor continues to enamor my family!! Here is my second edit, continues to be great. If you are going here, you are going for the spice. If you are going for the spice, better upgrade all the way to the "Lali Special Spice", costs a or so more, but worth every penny. They have moved to a food truck park from the gas station. The park itself is less than impressive, I really hope they find more success here. Disclaimer is that all food that I have had from here is vegetarian. ”
“ I wasn’t expecting too much coming from a takeout in a gas station. But it was surprisingly good. We had 4 different dishes and all were delicious. I ordered through their website for pickup and it was done on time. ”
“ Great for a food truck stop. They have a nice covered area with a large screen tv set up with speakers. Very friendly and the food was top quality. Very pleasant surprise for a random stop. ”
“ I stumbled across this place while I was looking for a closer Indian restaurant online and decided to try it since the reviews were so good even though it’s inside a gas station. I ordered the chicken tikka roll medium spicy, veggie samosa and the buttered naan bread. The employees were very helpful, I had asked about the size of the roll to make sure it’s not the size of an egg roll and it’s the size of a regular wrap thank goodness! It was so good, fresh veggies good seasoning, it did come with a green sauce and a red. I have no idea what the sauces are but the green kinda tasted minty maybe and the red is a sweeter one (my husband ate all of the red sauce.) The veggie Samosa was medium spicy, plenty for us, they were good too. The naan bread was buttery as I ordered but are just a little thinner than I like. They weren’t fluffy like I’ve had at other places, it was more like a homemade tortilla. We will definitely be back I can’t wait to try the buttered chicken! Online ordering was super easy. I didn’t see any table and chairs inside but they did have a couple outside. ”
“ One of Best food place I have ever been to. We really enjoyed the Chicken Jhol Momo, Fried chicken MoMo, Chicken Biryani, Mango Lassi and Chai. The service and atmosphere was awesome . You should visit this place with your friends and family. I am definitely coming back again. ”
