Customer Review Summary

Diners most often point to the Nepalese specials, with the macha karahi called a standout and the Lamb Keema Special served with curried potatoes described as tasty with a gentle spice. Fried momos get repeated praise as a starter, and one reviewer calls the veggie momo the best since Kathmandu. Close behind is the staff, described as welcoming, friendly and kind to children, with one server's main course recommendation winning over a diner. Several mention the variety on the menu and trying new dishes, and the Himalayan Chicken arrives with rice and a naan. Vegetarian diners also describe authentic flavour. The one recurring caveat is heat: one reviewer found the spice quite intense and says low to medium would have suited better. Several describe turning up without a booking, and the restaurant seating them anyway, including a medium sized group on a busy rainy Monday night.

    “Stopped by on the off chance we could get a table, they managed to seat us and we are so grateful they did! The food was delicious, so much variety, I tried a couple of new dishes which I very rarely do when I eat out but I’m so glad I did! Staff were super friendly, all be it very busy bless them! Can’t fault it :)”
