    Amazing restaurant to have Indian and Nepali food. Great place where you can smell the deliciousness as soon as you step in through the door of the restaurant. We had take away. The sheek kebab was light, spicy and well cooked. The chicken momo’s made us nostalgic, it was delicious and very well cooked. The chicken tikka masala stole the spotlight though. What an amazing spicy dish. The chicken biryani could’ve been better but one thing not on the mark out of 5 isn’t that bad. The roti was nice and flaky. Will definitely be returning to try more dishes.

    Went on a Sunday evening and was surprised restaurant was choc a bloc. Able to sneak in to get a table within 10 minutes, which was good. Alot of take-ways being prepared and staff was at their toes. Menu presented and we are big fan of Nepalese Momo's which for us could have been the highlight but to my dismay it went a bit downhill. Chicken Momo : pic in photos, Momo's look good and the chutney they offered was a made for each other combo. But unfortunately the Momo's missed the mark ‼️ they were dry and lacked that juicy meat filling inside. Have been eating Momo's all my life and this absolutely could have been done alot better as being Nepalese restaurant, Momo's are like one of the main star of show, not this time 👎 Chilly Chicken : pic in photos, was absolutely delicious and prepared in very different way, which is very smart and hats off to make nail it so good, highly recommended and it's worth every penny. 👍 Chicken Noodles : pic in photos, good preparation and different taste, well balanced taste. Overall, it was okay as we're expecting more as per the reviews....If the portion size is so controlled, highly suggested that the management should look into with Chef's that why Momo's are so dry and maybe a clear soup alongside will do more wonder's. Service can be slow in peak times but that is not being accounted in this review as good food could have overcome that for us in past but sadly this was other way round.....Hope this review can be taken into account.

    Bought takeaway from here on a Saturday night. Didn’t take too long (20-25 mins) and the butter chicken and naan were delicious!! So packed full of flavour. I ordered coconut rice and got normal rice which was a bit of a letdown, hopefully next time they get it right. Will definitely be back

    Authentic Nepalese/Indian food, really love Indian food. My wife and I ordered the Nepalese Goat Curry, Garlic Naan and Veg Briyani. The Veg Briyani is already delicious by itself, with the curry it is perfection. The waiter is very friendly and courteous, a customer at the next table spilled their drink all over and he was so cool, calm n collected. Cleaned the mess with no fuss and very polite, really good service. Ambience is okay, a bit too romantic for me but still pleasant. Will come back again. 👍

    Excellent food with each dish having its own taste and flavour. Naan were supersoft and fluffy. (However at $5.50 it's pricier than comparable restaurants). The ambiance is good with pictures of Himalayan ranges on the wall.

    The foods we ordered were all delicious with each bite bursting with flavour. The menu was diverse and offered a variety of options to choose from. The momos were mount watering. The staff was incredibly friendly and offering helpful suggestions and ensuring that we were comfortable throughout the meal. Loved to find both Nepalese & Indian cuisine in the same place. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!

    The best Indian food around! We had the lamb Vindaloo (Very Hot) and Butter Chicken with samosas, garlic naan, basmati Rice and Potato pickle, couldn’t fault the dishes! The Vindaloo is the best Ive ever had and the butter chicken is very authentic! keep up the good work. I would recommend having the type of Cider listed on your menu and a water jug instead of getting glass refills. Thank you!

    Had the $45pp Indian set menu and it was fantastic! Really good quality food. Hands down best naan I’ve had. Also the fact you can have ‘refills’ on your curries and naan etc is just awesome! Most importantly, the efficient, kind and fantastic customer service provided by Bhisma was undoubtedly why we will return very soon!

    My partner and I are both vegan, they had lots of vegan options clearly labeled on their menu and it was some of the best Indian food we have had. Look forward to coming back!

    We tried this restaurant on a recommendation from my son. We ordered seekh kebab, chilli momo, samosas, beef madras, rice & garlic naan. All were excellent. We will be back to try other menu options.

    The food was Amazing but I wasn’t very happy with the customer service . We had to call the waiting staff multiple times to take our second order but he still wouldn’t come to our table so I ended up going near the bar to place my order . They might have been understaffed but they can Definitely improve their customer service . Also they ran out of all the pork delicacies and chicken Tandoori ( one of the most popular Indian chicken dish) at 7 pm in the evening which was a little disappointing . The food though was really tasty and I would definitely go back to this place and hopefully recieve better service next time .

  • 1/5 Caleb L. 1 year ago on Google
    Service ar front desk was excellent. The food tasted very strongly of refrigeration gas or some other chemicals. The rice was flavourless and was like it had been washed as the safron color was faded out and it had a chemical taste. The Tandoori chicken was cooked but cold inside indicating it was reheated and not cooked fresh in the oven as we expected. We both felt sick half way through the meal and had to stop eating . A very strong chemical taste kept getting stronger and we both felt unwell.

    Considering how tough small businesses are doing, i am giving this restaurant a 5 star but read my review below. I ordered a Vegetarian Chow chow & Veg momo last night. It was one of the worst vegetable noodles i had eaten. The taste was bad, quality of noodles were worst, eating the noodles i was getting a weird smell. Very very bad chow chow. The momos were average, i wouldn’t call it good or bad. The chutney along with it was good and tangy.

    Great little restraunt. Staff were excellent and all food was top notch and bought out in a timely manner. Will happily return again when back in the area. Thanks.

    We had the best meal, Everest Steam Momo for entree. The goat meat curry and kashmiri naan are a match made in heaven. Make sure you try this combination when you visit the place.

  • 3/5 Grant H. 11 months ago on Google
    Messed up my order, I come at least 3 times a month... I was at work, so couldn't ring, their emails aren't read, nor messenger.. Time to embrace the 21st century guys .. customer service, isn't just front of house.. Normally 5 stars all around. I will have a word next time I'm in !!

  • 5/5 Rich L. 1 year ago on Google
    Good variety of lovely Indian style food. Nice atmosphere and friendly people with fast service. Very popular when we visited on a Thursday evening. Mild flavours, no real chilly heat, but acceptable to most oz customers.

  • 5/5 Justin P. 1 year ago on Google
    If you read the owners description of their business, it is true to every word. This is the best Indian food I have ever eaten. And the quality is the same everytime. I always get the family pack for my wife and I and enjoy the left overs the next day for lunch!!

    Update: Do not post lies about my experience. In response to your reply, we did speak on the phone twice. Once to your staff member and then once with the Manager on shift. On both calls your business was insistent there was no other alternative that you were willing to consider. After those 2 phone calls, Uber Eats called and processed a refund that will occur in 5-10 business days. Meanwhile, we were out of pocket for the dinner and my family still didn't get their meal. I don't understand the calls your business was trying to make to my phone afterwards? You were already very clear about not willing to come to a different arrangement, and there wasn't anything that can be done after the refund (that I won't get for at least a week). It was 8pm by the time this whole fiasco finished and I still needed to get dinner on the table. Original Review: I would give them 0 stars of I could. I am a regular, well-paying customer, but the delivery person delivered to the wrong address. The restaurant gave me excuses of why they could not send out another order, but honestly, if you care about your customer you'd figure out a way. Not worth the pathetic experience and I definitely will not order here again.

  • 2/5 karl r. 1 year ago on Google
    Had dinner with the family,, the atmosphere was open, cold & None existent , we were about to leave because there was no heating, the waitress started her shift and didn’t wash her hands,, the Uber and phone was ringing constantly.. anyway we stayed because of the 4.6 rating hoping it will be worth it.. the Tandoori chicken came out in a slizzing plate which looked spectacular and the kids enjoyed the experience, however it did not taste like it came from a tandoori clay oven.. the curry dishes were soo sweet, however the meat was cooked good, but the texture was so lumpy and sweet something you would get out of a jar from Aldi or something,, im so disappointed as I looked at the 4.6 rating , I expected soo much better..

    I recently visited this Indian and Nepalese restaurant, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and welcoming, and the decor gave it an authentic touch. Moving on to the food, the dishes were nothing short of amazing. From the appetizers to the main course, every dish was bursting with flavor and spices. The tandoori chicken was cooked to perfection, with the right balance of spices and tenderness. The momos were simply delicious and were a hit among everyone at the table. The curries were rich, creamy, and full of flavor, and the naan bread was soft and fluffy. The service at the restaurant was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure that we had everything we needed. The restaurant was also very clean and well-maintained, which added to the overall dining experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this Indian and Nepalese restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food and a great dining experience. The food is authentic, flavorful, and reasonably priced, and the service is top-notch. I will definitely be visiting again soon!

    By far one of the best curries and naan in town! They also hit the spice levels correctly where medium is medium, not mild😀

  • 5/5 Georgia H. 1 year ago on Google
    The best pumpkin masala I’ve ever had! Every single one of their curries we’ve tried we have loved, we visit regularly. Sometimes the flavour falls a rung down into the range of good but not amazing, but even then it is still yummy and enjoyable - maybe this is just my tastebuds anyway. Always friendly and accommodating staff as well.

  • 5/5 Brian Y. 1 year ago on Google
    We randomly picked this place. The meals are good. We got free papadums and two dips at the start.

  • 5/5 Patricia Keiko S. 1 year ago on Google
    The best Indian food in the area, we always come back with our favourites: butter chicken, eggplant and potato curry, and butter naan.. the butter chicken is to die for, I cannot stop eating it, the sauce is just delicious. The eggplant and potato curry is creamy, the butter naan is soft and chewy. We also ordered online and the online ordering system is very easy to use, our food is always ready on time for our pick up. Highly recommend!

    Really high quality Indian and Nepalese food coming out of this unassuming restaurant. Flavours are deep and satisfying and the chicken Tikka masala is one of my favourite dishes full stop. Momos are amazing too. This is my go-to Indian restaurant when I have time. Emphasis on "when I have time". Past few visits, for dine in and take away, the service has been rather slow, waiting about 30-40 minutes for all the food to come. Must be taking their time to hone in the flavours I guess 🤔. Still worth the wait though.
