The food they serve has so much comfort and homely. Out Must have includes Steam monos, puri tarkari, and macha bhaja. If you are looking for authentic nepali cuisine food, then you just found one. Loved the food, atmosphere and courteous staff.

I do enjoy coming to Sapna Home, for central Reading it's reliable on price and quality. You have to come here expecting relax place, food is decent for price paid. I tend to stick with momo, chow mein and couple other items on the list. Preference is to sit upstairs, it is better. Over the years I've noticed fewer vegetables in their chow mein, as well as removal of salmon curry on their Thali dish. I can imagine much is being economised, if prices go up on these dishes (as they have) then keeping couple of mix veg on chow mein would be better. Overall good place.

Our all-time fav for momo’s. Absolutely love their chilli momo’s. Puri tarkari is nostaligia, such authentic flavours and they never disappoint.

On a bustling Friday evening, I decided to grab some takeaway from this place. Despite the high activity, they seemed indifferent to the takeaway orders, informing me of a 30-minute wait. Interestingly, on weekdays like Wednesdays, their service is notably more considerate. When I requested a spot inside to escape the cold, they suggested going downstairs, only to find it fully occupied. Regrettably, no chair or apology was offered for the inconvenience. Needless to say, I won't be returning.

Came to this restaurant for a quick simple lunch. Ordering process was fine although not very friendly service. My meal came very quickly however my partner was left waiting for half an hour, after being told it would be arriving in two minutes when we asked if it would be coming twice during this time. My food became cold during this time too. Eventually gave up and left, waiter was unapologetic throughout. Still made us pay full price for this and no apology given when we explained why we were leaving. Extremely disappointing and would not recommend (unless you’re not hungry and would like to sit and watch someone else eat for half an hour)- WASTE OF TIME

We went there for lunch, and one of our friend got stitch (metal) in momo. Luckily he didn,t swallow it, which was very dangerous. When we told about the incident, the server looked and took it away, as if they gonna take any action. But he never came back. No apologies at all. Thats very dissapointing and charged us for that particular food as well. We were not expecting free food, atleast they could say sorry and change the food. They didn,t bother to do any.

What an amazing experience! Its a small restaurant with sitting on ground floor and basement. Food is delicious, service is quick. Vegetable chowmin is just perfect! Very well made with their special spices. We also tried their Pan Fried Momos and Jhol Momos… very good taste. Jhol means gravy, so it was like a soup with momos. Really enjoyed the food and overall experience was great! Will definitely come back soon!

One of the best places in Reading - delicious food, big portions, good value. I recommend getting the Chow Mein and then some boiled Momo to share for the table. The vegetable options are delicious for vegetarians. Make sure you ask for mild spice if you don’t like spicy food! Service can be a little slow when it’s busy as everything is made fresh. They also sell on Deliveroo but it’s a bit pricier (though the portions seem a little bigger when getting it delivered), again though it can take awhile at peak times.

Visited 2-3 times at this nice little restaurant. Staff is polite and welcoming. I prefer their chicken thali for warm homestyle chapaties & daal and ghee bowl. But I don't like their idea of cooking chicken curry with the skin on. Probably, it's a Nepalese thing, or just laziness of the chef to remove the skin on a £4 whole chicken from sainsbury :) Skin on curry can be disgusting/off putting for Indians. Anyway, the curry still tastes good after the necessary peeling. It would be great if they could increase the curry and daal quantity by 25% and extra cost to the price reasonably. Those serving bowls are cute, but just too small to compete the meal. Ambience is alright for a quick afternoon meal. They could make some effort to avoid stale odour on the ground floor.

Very rude staff. Went there in evening time, the place was quite empty and there were few tables empty downstairs but the staff from that floor sent us upstairs saying the tables were booked and we went upstairs and stayed in one table and literally in 2 minutes the staff from downstairs came and said to the lady working upstairs - oh these guys stayed here and laughed in the corner. Felt like they made a joke of us. Throughout our dinner time nobody came for the downstairs table . The staff gave us only one menu in a rude way as were two persons, can’t say they maybe short of menu as the place was quite empty. Few minutes later a couple came with a newborn and sat next to us where the staff treated very nicely and we can see the difference how the serving lady treated us and them. Maybe the staff thought we were young and she doesn’t need to be nice with us. Anyways one of the worst experience, the staff didn’t knew how to treat customers no matter their age, looks or any colour. Will never go back again.

Worst customer service and hygiene. We found a hair on the momos and the owner or cook instead of being apologetic came out of kitchen in fighting mode. She was upset we cancelled the order and said it happens sometimes,hair can fall in the food but we shouldn't cancel the order. That was super rude. I am never stepping in to this place again because hygiene is not their priority.If she can say that finding a hair is normal for her then am not sure what happens in the kitchen behind closed doors

It's OK but disappointing based on these reviews. Setting/atmosphere is poor, takeaway type environment, the opposite of intimate. Service was poor. Tables not cleaned, disinterested waitress. Quick enough to order but very very slow for food to arrive (depending on what you order) meaning your meals will not come out at the same time. It was 1 hour after arriving before my thali arrived, the place was quiet and my friend had already finished and was ready to leave. Food was OK. Don't order the thali, took ages and really disappointing (also dont order the buffalo, really very chewy and dry). Dumplings are nice, we had pan fried. Prices were ok (thali is expensive for what it is).

A wide Nepali menu especially I like fried rice and veg Thukpa. Average price 7-8 pounds per dish. Simple ambience with seating arrangement at ground floor and in the basement. Maintained but space is bit crunch. Still, it's Worthfull to try authentic Nepali cuisine at least once . Highly recommended!

Ordered the momos and waiting for my order, observed that the lady at the counter is making momos and managing the counter at the same time. After a while she gets up to clear the table's, wipes the table with a blue cloth and straight away goes to the counter and starts making the momo's without washing her hands, felt sick with the handling of food. I immediately cancel my order, she was initially reluctant i told her the reason and she cancelled and gave the refund. Not a place I would visit.

Poor Presentation - we ordered our 1st and the last dish- vegetarian momos. our food was presented worse than you would serve to anyone. Just Thrown into the plate! Oh and The presentation depends if you are Nepalese (both the tables next were served with good presentation). So a racist behaviour as well what we observed. Poor Hygiene - starting from floors to tables including highchair, it was filthy. The taste of the only food we ordered was nice but the overall experience spoilt it and we just left the place and ate somewhere else. So 1 star for the chef thats it.

We have been to this restaurant one too many times and absolutely love their food. But my biggest disappointment is service. The service is very bad, at time you don't even get water for 10 minutes after you asked for it. They really should improve upon their service aspect. It's really shame that even though they have delicious food, I feel like giving low rating only because of service.
