Beautiful food in a lovely place with friendly attentive staff. We've never had Nepalese food before but have looked at this restaurant for at least 10yrs. Today we decided to try it and we are not disappointed. Really unique flavours (cross between chinese/indian/thai) from the starters to the mains and they were all fantastic. Sure we'll be back in the future.

If you want to try something a bit different to standard Chinese and Indian restaurants, I would highly recommend this place. Great value and authentic cuisine.

Came here a couple of days ago for dinner. It was my first taste of Nepalese cuisine and I was not disappointed! It is very similar to Indian food. I had a set meal (a metal plate filled with curry, daal, rice, poppadom, and various other bits) which is like an Indian Thali. Food was very tasty and I enjoyed it. One star knocked off for price (for York, I thought it was quite expensive) and also for cash only.

First time we tried Nepalese food and we loved it. This is a hidden gem in the central of York, unless you are a local. The food was delicious. Service was great. The price was reasonable too. Highly recommended.

Stunning food at great prices!
Starter were spicy buffalo MOMO, the flavour was "banging" (my wife's words) & steamed lamb MOMO the minced lamb was very good.
Mains were just as excellent I had the Gurkha pork curry, maybe best I ever had andy wife pork dish was mouth watering. I also had the Gurkha spice tea (black) it's like mulled wine without the wine, it nice. I also hah the homemade lemonade which was perfect to cleans my pallet. We both had the Nepal liquor coffee to finish, it's very strong (not sure where the coffee is lol).
Overall, I highly recommend!
