  This is hands down the best Indian restaurant in Lincoln! The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful. I love that you can choose your spice level — perfect for those who enjoy a kick of heat. The garlic naan is made to absolute perfection — soft, buttery, and full of flavor. Every dish I’ve tried has been amazing. Highly recommend

  Have eaten both takeout and in the restaurant a a number of times. Every dish is seasoned well, piping hot. Such a large menu my wife and I try a new dish every time, none have disappointed us. A shining star in Lincoln.

  This is by far the best Indian Restaurant I've ever been. The gluten free and dairy free options are absolutely delicious. Im travelling from different states just to come here. If you want to try something that's safe and easy before delving into their other amazing dishes give the honey chicken a try it was delicious.

  Finally there is a great spot for Indian food in Lincoln. IDK about the Nepali side of the menu, assume it’s amazing as well. This was our second trip to Kripa and it possibly holds as some of the most enjoyed Indian foods we’ve had. The garlic naan was loaded with fresh garlic. Honey chicken is a tasty and addictive sweet dish and we absolutely love it. Kadai chicken was loaded with onion and green peppers that were cooked nicely. They are very generous with the white rice. Both times we received papad with 2 sauces - both yum! Good service, decent atmosphere, nice employees, on top of amazing food will keep us coming back - even with a 20+ minute drive one way.

  Date Night Recently made it over to the new Kripa. I had my Hopes set High for this one... Luckily they came through on nearly every level! They were fairly busy but we were seated right away. Not ordering Every starter was hard but we decided on a few. I knew I wanted the Onion Pakoras. I've had my fair share of Pakoras in my day but these were Easily the best! Seasoned well and crispy, I can't imagine the other varieties (chicken, shrimp, veggies) being any different. Next the Samosa Chat. Chopped up Samosas are the base layer, topped with Chutneys and Raita, etc. It looks like a hot mess but is Delicious! Think Indian Nachos... Their open floor plan made it impossible to hide my Happy Food Dance and Yum Yum Sounds 😋. My husband Loves dumplings. Their Steamed Momo was exactly what he was looking for, tons of filling, Amazing sauce! We also got the Bread Basket so we didn't have to choose from the various kinds of Naan. It comes with Original, Garlic, and Cheese. These are thinner and come with 2 Chutneys, Mint and Tamarind. Both full of flavor and soooo good! For my Main Dish I chose Vegetable Mango Curry. I tend to gravitate to tropical flavors (coconut, pineapple, mango) in savory dishes. I got mine mild, cuz I'm a baby, and it may have been the lack of heat that made it just too sweet for me. I took it home to my kids and they absolutely Loved it! I strongly suggested to my husband that he select a Thali for his main. Normally meant for more than one person it's a great way to sample a bit of Everything! He went with the Mutton, also no surprise, with a spice level of Hot. Totally in his Element he combined This & That and was incredibly happy! We took an order of the dessert Gulab Juman to go. It's little balls of dough soaked in syrup. Kids enjoyed them as well! The place stayed busy both with patrons and take-out orders the entire time we were there. Several people helped us and checked on us. Food took a little while but we also ordered a Ridiculous amount. There are many more things on the menu we'd still like to try. While it won't replace any of our other favorite places, it is a Fantastic addition to the Lincoln Food Scene and will be a frequent stop ❤️. Originally posted to EAT IT in Lincoln, NE on Facebook
