About Nepal Dining Room

Chef Hem Ghale delivers genuine Himalayan warmth and fragrant curries on Waverley Road. The room feels easygoing and familiar—regulars head straight for the starter tasting platter before sharing plates of smoky chicken sekuwa and rich goat curry scooped up with warm roti. Parents appreciate the dedicated play space tucked in the back, while momo enthusiasts regularly pick up frozen take-home packs straight from the kitchen counter.

  • Sharing Tasting Platter: A multi-dish starter platter built for sharing lets tables sample key house specialties together.
  • Back Kids Play Space: A dedicated rear play area keeps young children entertained during family meals.
  • Take-Home Momo Packs: Ready-to-steam packs of chicken and vegetable momos are packaged to take home.

Accompaniments, regional beverages, and delightful sweets

  • Lal Mohan

    And because the menu begs to be shared (thank goodness), we somehow found room for dessert: Lal Mohan, those glorious evaporated-milk dumplings paired with vanilla ice cream, optionally scattered with mixed berries. A dreamy, sweet finish.
