Quick info
About Himalayan Cafe & Takeaway
Himalayan Cafe & Takeaway sits on Cheriton High Street in Folkestone, running as a Nepalese restaurant with collection and delivery alongside the dine-in space. The kitchen focuses on momo, with pork dumplings as the main draw, alongside Nepali plates such as chowmein and chilly salty ribs, plus a kids' wings option. The dine-in room is small and often cramped, so seating is limited. Booking is not part of the setup, and orders run on a walk-in and counter basis. Delivery covers the surrounding streets from the same kitchen.

Customer Review Summary
The space itself draws a mixed response: one diner found it small and a little cramped, while another flagged an experience with overcooked kids wings and loud music with explicit lyrics playing during a family meal. Beyond that isolated complaint, the tone across reviews is one of warm, friendly service and consistently flavorful cooking that keeps customers coming back.

“Best nepalese food in folkestone. chilly salty ribs is the best”
- Brian Christopher Jones
“Excited to try this place but was pretty disappointed. Kids wings were overcooked and almost inedible. Our other food was okay but nothing special. Also they were blaring music that contained profanity and overly sexual lyrics and didn't seem to mind doing this with kids in the restaurant. Would not recommend.”
- Anshu Shrestha
“genuinely the best pork momo I have had in the entire UK <333”
- Prance Rana Magar
“While we were out exploring, we came here for food. The food was absolutely delicious and we really enjoyed it. The Nepali food was especially tasty and full of flavor. Highly recommend pork Momo”
- Lars Koehler
“I am not that familiar with Nepali food, but I have to say, I liked it here a lot. Food and drinks were all very nice. If you come from vacation in the bigger cities, the location might seem small and a little cramped, but don't let that impression scare you off. We had a very friendly and delicious experience here for a very good price”
