A classic family run Indian, not professional looking but rather, Indian, waitress wearing authentic Indian dress and restaurant looks more like an indian eatery. The jungle I.e. "Camp" curry, one of the nicest I've had!. Highly recommended from the Indian food critique that happily gives 1 star reviews. I will certainly be back!, you've not seen the last of me!!!.

I Delivered A Pallet Of Kathmandu Beers Yesterday And Helped Them Stack Them Away. Cheekily I Asked Them If There Was Any Lunch I Could Have And WOW. It Was Too Good To Eat In Me Lorry, Got Home Put On A Plate And Was Probably The BEST Lamb Jalfrazi With Long Grain Rice, I've EVER Eaten. Lovely People And Absolutely Gorgeous Food. Thank You Gurkha Chef Hopefully I'll Be Delivering Some More Beers In The Very Near Future HEHEHEHE XX.

It was our first time here and we will be coming back. Service was lovely and the food tasted amazing. Had the Peshwari Chicken and the Lamb Pasanda with a Naan and really enjoyed! Also loved the decor inside and it had a really nice atmosphere.

Great food; friendly staff. There’s lots to learn about Nepal, so ask questions. P.S. the papadams and pickles are delicious, but they are not free.

Superb food with a huge selection to choose from. Very friendly and efficient service. We had been recommended this restaurant and very glad we ate here. Shame we live so far away but we will be back as we visit 3/4 times a year. It is only a small space so I would recommend you book!
