Reviews for Base Camp Cafe in Hanover, NH
The ambiance, I liked the pleasant atmosphere of Nepal and it's related photos and items. The place is one large hall and thus... may be noisy but It did not bother me. As to the food, I liked that it was not Indian and not Chinese but a wonderful flavor ofit's own; Nepalese. Because we were not sure if and when we'll be back, we ordered several dishes to have a better idea on thiscousin. The vegetable Momo (dumpling) was excellent, although I'd like the dough to be lighter (but that may make it notNepalese). The Dal (yellow lentel) soup delish with many pleasant flavors, such as Cumin seeds. The {Takari tofu and eggplant}and the {Chili tofu and mushroom} were was very good. In both dishes the green ???? peppers were too dominant but the flavors ofboth dishes were supreme. I had to taste something from the grill and decided on lamb chops which again did not turned me down.It was very good with wonderful flavors. The service and the entire operation were smooth, fast and on time. In summary, wehad a symphony of new cousin and will certainly enjoy again. Read more
Cute vibe, super attentive staff, and amazingly delicious food!!! Would absolutely be a regular if we lived in the area.
My daughter and I went here for dinner. It was the first time there for both of us. The first thing that strikes you is how... clean and well decorated it is. The second thing was how peaceful and serene it was. Thirdly, the staff was very friendly andattentive. The food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Nice little Nepalese place with TONS of vegan options. The staff was very friendly, and the service was quick. The food was... fresh and tasty. It seems very popular for takeout. There is a parking garage very close that only costs about $1 for an hour.Highly recommend, and I would love to go back if I am in the area again. Read more
You would think a Nepalese restaurant would be on the top of the building, so it was almost disappointing to find it located in... the basement. Not to worry, there is little else to harp on! Base Camp is a charming little bistro w excellent menu items. Allthat I?ve had were well made and presented by an affable wait staff. Service was generally quick at lunch time. The onlyslowdown was the time it takes to eat all of the food they bring. The other day I enjoyed the (lamb) momos as an app. Steamedto perfection, and generously plated. Still, so good I ate them all! Then, the Goat & Mushroom Chili arrived, and I knew I hadmy work cut out. I asked for ?medium? heat. Overhearing from a neighboring table, they considered that 7 out of 10. It wasdefinitely spicy, but not at all uncomfortable. The meat was sweet and juicy. The veggies cooked appropriately. My onlycomplaint, and it is a small one, was that it was tough to find the mushrooms in a dish named for them. They kept the waterglass full. The iced tea, though delivered late, had a really strong tea flavor w hints of something I couldn?t easily identify.Delicious! Read more
Great service, great food; and very affordable. I loved the herb bread and the momo! Would be happy to come back anytime.
We had planned to go to another restaurant, but with the wonderful aromas coming out of the Base Camp Cafe, we called an... audible, and took a table for three there. Two of us opted for cocktails, one Muddy Base Camp and one Sunny (both delicious!)and our third opted for a Mango Lassi, also wonderful. We started with Lamb Momos, a very tasty dumpling, and loved them. Wewere all in bird moods, so followed up with three entrées, stir-fried noodles with chicken, a duck chilie, and a grilled spicedchicken and vegetables, all perfectly spiced with distinctive variations in flavor. We were so satisfied with the meal thatdessert was a tough call, but rather than pass altogether, we opted to share a single serving of the Blueberry Haluwa, which wefound to be just about perfect. Next time, I'll plan to leave more room for dessert. Highly recommend, and we plan to visitagain. Read more
