Good lunch buffet. Very busy place. Tea was delicious but didn’t get refilled very often.
Chicken and naan great. The don’t always pay attention to you for water refills, just waive the server down.

Please do yourself a favor and eat here. DELICIOUS FOOD!!! I used to order from Nepal house and the food was subpar.
This is my new Indian cuisine spot. Every time I’ve ordered its been hot and delicious and you can taste the freshness.

The lunch buffet is my favorite and it’s super cheap ($ 9.99). I go here regularly with my coworkers for lunch and usually leave with a food coma. The restaurant is pretty no frills and it’s easy to miss on St. Paul Street, but the food is always delicious and filling, plus there are lots of vegetarian options. The service by the wait staff can be spotty and leave something to be desired, but overall I would continue to go back and to tell people about it.

Not sure what happened recently. Have had the same order multiple times within the past 2 months without fail. I usually order the Rogan Josh and the momo soup. Today, I got the same order, but the momo soup consistency was off – more like it had congealed and become a darker yellow color than normal, and the soup itself was just so bland. Also, pretty certain that they gave me something aside from the Rogan Josh that I normally get (it’s a dark orange color; I remember a creamier looking color from my past experiences of eating this). I can stand an hour plus wait for delivery of good Indian food, but not this.
Pretty disappointed. Might not order from this restaurant ever again.

Excellent food and service. Nepali khaja was an unusual dish with flat rice (poha). Unusual in a good way, it was very interesting to see plain poha as an appetizer. I had Aloo tama which was a delicious soup with surprising amount of potatoes. And Ofcourse, for main course had dal bhat, my favorite Nepali dish.

I was there for the lunch buffet with friends. The service was friendly and it was tasty and certainly not disappointing, although nothing special. A perfectly good choice, although I personally prefer Akbhar just down the street.

Have had Kumari multiple times now. The food is good, and definitely one of the better Indian cuisine restaurants in the Mount Vernon Area. I will say though, eating in is definitely better than delivery.
Delivery is just so-​so. Usually, if you order the chicken Tiki-​Marsala or anything of the like, you get a takeout bowl that’s pretty much 85−90% Sauce, 10−15% chicken. For a dish that costs about $ 15, I’m not sure if its worth it for delivery. The food is good though. I feel as though the portion sizes have progressively gotten smaller though, while the prices have steadily increased.
I would definitely eat here again, and all-​in-​all, it’s a good restaurant.

One of my favorite Indian restaurants. I work at Mercy Hospital so this is my go to delivery place. I’ve never actually dined here so my review is based off their delivery/​carryout service. They serve big portions with their carry out and the food is DELICIOUS! Their naan is okay but sometimes it was a bit hard. I like it soft and buttery. My favorite dish from them is their chicken tikka masala. The gravy of it is so rich and the perfect amount of cream. It’s seasoned nicely and the spice is adjusted according to your liking. My next favorite is the lamb korma also very nicely flavored. Seriously anything you get here is sure to be delicious! Wish I had some right now. Hope this helps, enjoy! :)

This was my wife and I first time here. Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Our table provided a fantastic second story view overlooking the street!

This has recently become one of my favorite lunch spots. I feel like it’s a well kept secret. I have had good service and even better food. When I get my deliveries they are always warm, fresh and make me want to try something new. Yet, I seam to always order the same thing because I can’t get enough. However, where I work the crew seams to feel the same way. Two thumbs up !

I love this place so much! Great service and food. I always get the meat samosas with plain or garlic Naan.
The owners are so sweet and nice. I always order pick up and it’s ready way faster than what the expected time will show on Eat24.

Kumari’s probably offers one of the best Indian lunch buffets in Baltimore.
Prices are inexpensive (around $ 12). Seating is plentiful. There’s a good variety of food. Quality is great. It also offers the most meat I’ve seen among the Charles Street Indian buffets. Big fan of the goat curry and the fried fish. Naan, of course, is a beloved staple. The Nepal tea is quite sweet, which is definitely up my alley.

Delightful place with gentle décor and food that will indulge your palate. They start with a delightful medley of chutneys and crisp papadums (attentive waitstaff replenished the papadums we quickly devoured — an extra star just for that). They are less than a mile from Baltimore Penn station and there are a couple of other Indian restaurants in the immediate vicinity but we found this to be, by far, the best
We ordered chat papadi and all the ingredients were fresh and savory. Yellow lentils were cooked to perfection and had the right aroma. Palaak Paneer was just ummm good — fresh paneer and Palaak tendered to perfection. Tandoori rotis were thin and crisp — no lumpy uncooked batter that is typical of many other Indian places.
To top it all, the staff was about the most polite I have seen. Parking can be a pain but there are private parking lots for $ 10. Overall, wonderful dining experience — keep it up!

I came for the $ 10 lunch buffet. Honestly, the place isn’t very different from the typical Indian restaurant in America. The food is okay, but it’s very heavy and you end up feeling full for the rest of the day.
Good for a quick, cheap buffet, but don’t expect anything amazing.

HAPPY!
I am a big fan of this place. The food is always fresh, the helpings make my tummy happy and the prices are very realistic. That is what I am aiming for — places that do not cut corners.
This will be my *Go-​to* when I go out for Indian.
Late time I ate here, I got salmon tikka masala (Yumm, I should get it spicier next time) and a side of garlic naan. 21 bucks.
Boom — 2 helpings of goodness. Just for me because sharing is for suckers.
VERY happy

LOVE this Indian buffet!!! So many options and everything is so delicious! The price is so reasonable too and the service is really warm and efficient. This is the perfect place to sit and enjoy a wide variety of different Indian foods. If you want to only eat chicken tikka masala and naan you can, but I would say this Indian buffet is a great place to try some new dishes too without having to order full orders of meals.
Surprisingly, one of my favorite things about KUMARI is their tea! It’s really milky and sweet and yummy, but it’s addicting and the perfect complement to your food.
I love coming here for an early lunch on some weekends and having a long, luxurious lunch and then drink some tea and chat for a little longer. You’ll definitely need some time to digest, this place will make you so full for the rest of the day!
One last note, my friend said this place is very vegetarian friendly and he still has lots of dishes to choose from.

Froze my bottom off while eating lunch here a few days before Christmas.
Not sure what all the wonderful reviews were, as the food here was just average. chicken was a bit dry, but naan was nice and fresh.
The servers were very prompt though and picked a dirty dish off of my table right away, and refilled the water glass quickly.
Wish they had samosas on the buffet for lunch.
I heard people at the table next to me also comment about it being cold. Did they not pay their heating bill this month?
If I wasn’t so cold eating my lunch, I may have had a more enjoyable experience.
