HiLife restaurant has received mixed reviews from customers. Some were put off by the poor presentation of the food and desserts, while others raved about the outstanding vegetable momo and perfectly cooked garlic nan. The service was highlighted as excellent by some, with friendly servers and attentive staff. The quiet atmosphere of the back area was appreciated by some diners, allowing for enjoyable conversation without distraction. While some customers experienced issues with burnt food or overly salty fries, others praised the delicious food and great deals offered at the restaurant. Overall, it seems like HiLife offers a unique dining experience combining Italian, Asian, and tiki lounge influences that works well for some customers. The restaurant is recommended for those looking for Nepalese cuisine, a pleasant dining experience, and a welcoming atmosphere.

We always have a great time here. Every server has been helpful and sweet, the menu is diverse, and there is just a nice vibe.

Just FYI, RE: noise level near bar moderate. We ate in the outside: alcove, which is quiet. Very large selection of food options but lacks a fine dining atmosphere if looking for that type of experience.
