Such delicious food and amazing service! I very rarely finish a meal and my partner was very sad that I did on this occasion. I had the Nepalese curry and my partner the surf & turf, both great. Finished off by the tiramisu which we shared and was equally tasty. The staff were so friendly and attentive and always noticed when we needed a new drink or were ready to order. Highly recommend!

Service is always friendly from Rosh and the team, always greeted with a smile and the team is always flexible if the food needed to be altered to serve my dietary needs. Atmosphere is great, traditional Nepalese decorations and images which I love looking at while dining in. And the best thing is the food is halal! Always a pleasure coming here. And one of my favourite places to have dinner. Thanks team!

This place calls itself a Nepali restaurant, but aside from the name and a disappointing momo, there’s nothing Nepali about it.
From the start, the welcome was cold and unfriendly. It felt like we were treated differently based on how we look—something I've seen in places that cater more warmly to white customers. Sadly, the person who greeted us was also the owner.
We ordered a starter and a main, and the waiter oddly clarified that the dish was “individual,” which felt unnecessary and awkward. The momo arrived after 15 minutes—bland, tasteless, and lacking any authenticity.
Then we waited over 45 minutes for our main, which was cold, small portion, and equally flavorless. When we paid, the cashier mentioned the chefs are Nepali, but honestly, that just made it more disappointing. If this is how you represent Nepali food, it’s better not to call it that.
The atmosphere was the only decent part. But if you’re looking for real Nepali food or warm service, this isn’t the place.

First time trying Nepalese food! Tasted new flavours and enjoyed them all.
The chicken Nepalese curry needed a bit more depth of flavour, but overall, everything was quite nice.
The lamb chops on the tandoori plate were the most tender ive ever eaten.
Staff for friendly, the place was clean and food was served in a timely manner.
My favourite dish was the Nepalese chilli with fish.
Parking on the road can be challenging if busy but if you turn left down the large hill, there's parking near the water then a short but steep walk back up.

This is the type of review I rarely write. From the moment we walked in we felt we had made a good choice.’it was fairly busy and my first reaction was what a nice restaurant we had walked into. Within seconds we could smell really nice smells of food. and looking at the tables I could see it looked as good as it smelled. We were warmly greeted and shown our table. We had a mixed mezze starter for two at &27. It was worth the money and was plentiful and tasted good. I then had a sizzling tandoori mixed grill which was packed full of flavour with the meat cooked perfectly. My wife had chicken fajitas. She said it was delicious. We had 4 drinks. The bill came to $131 which we both felt was a fair price for the quality of the food and the lovely surroundings. I would add I rarely see a restaurant so immaculately clean. Never before in 40 years of marriage have we enjoyed food so much during our travels that we decided to go back the following night, but we will be back there tomorrow to try some other dishes. Hopefully they will be just as good! If your in town, this pace is definitely worth a visit. Whilst it caters for children I’d say it would be slightly more suited for adults, or couples looking for a nice romantic meal.
