The Nepalese Kitchen

Here we serve the food of Nepal. In order to experience the subtle taste and variety of Nepalese food it is important to select several dishes, which then should be shared. To share a meal is the traditional Nepalese way. It is customary for Nepalese food to be mild, the inclusion of achars (freshly cooked relishes), which are either hot and spicy or cool, and refreshing, highlights the flavors of the dishes. All prices are GST inclusive
