Kathmandu Newa Chhe'n — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Been going to this place since 2016, but every year the standard seems to be going down. Visited on 29/01/22, we called to book a table at around 7:30 as we were driving from the Gold Coast. We arrived at 8:00pm and ordered 5 items at around 8:15pm, we requested all items to be brought together. At 9:15pm we were served with one item. We inquired about the remaining items, the wait staff said she would talk to the kitchen and get back to us. At 9:35pm, we see the same wait staff serving other table, perhaps she forgot about us. We didn't have the patience or time to wait more so we decided to leave. I did see the signs about low staff situation when leaving but does it justify the 1.5 hr wait? If you cannot serve, don't take the order, it's simple as that. We had no other options as it was close to 10:00pm, we resorted to drive through burgers. It was a shame on Nepalese hospitality as we had and an Aussie friend who was excited to try his first Nepalese meal. I hope the owner reads this and takes it seriously. It is not 2016 anymore where there are few Nepalese Restaurants in Brisbane, I've been to some exquisite Nepalese Restaurants in Brisbane which is better in quality, price and service. This will be the last time I go to this restaurant and will not recommend to anyone...

Absolutely outstanding! The best restaurant we have been to for a long time. The highlight of the night was the lovely young waitress "Nabina". She greated us with a big smile and a sofly spoken voice as soon as we arrived and we felt most welcome. She attended to our ever need and even gave some free samples to try. We had We started off with an entrée of Kofta Balls, with a nice sweet chilli sauce.A nice Mango Lassi, Bhuteko Kukhura (marinated chicken with garlic, onions ginger and capsicum) and basmati rice, Dhal Bhat Takari Saag ( dhal soup, yoghurt raita, pappadam, basmati rice, cucumber, kauli matter – cauliflower, potato and pea curry, achaar – salty sour pickles and saag - spinach, we finished off the night with some Chea (Nepalese, milky sweet tea). The restaurant has a really nice relaxed ambience and NO annoying loud background music (which ruins a meal at many resturants these days) We dined inside and had the whole room to ourselves. Plenty of off street parking at the rear of the restaurant. Oh - and they happily accept cash. Please give them your business...
