Me and my friends with in to eat 2 weeks ago,(from when I’m posting this review), it was very busy, the server got our table ready after 10 minutes of waiting. WE WERE WALK INS - NO BOOKING so we were happy to wait.

Other than that, it was just top tier. We will be back. Hope...

We had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful family-owned Nepalese restaurant, and it was a truly heartwarming experience from start to finish. The food is freshly cooked with care and packed with authentic flavour — you can taste the love in every bite. The service was absolutely amazing: warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive without ever feeling forced.

It’s clear that the family takes great pride in what they do, and it really shows. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and the prices are very affordable for the quality you get. In a world of big chains and fast food, it’s so refreshing to support a local gem like this.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious food, great service, and the chance to support a hardworking family business. We’ll...
