Posted on beccaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hidden gem people! If you love a good dumpling, try the dumpling soup. Creamy goddahm goodness! I ate it so fast I surprised the lady 🤣 Fried rice, chow mein, very good Nepalese food. Hidden away so you have to look, but worth it. Don't go past the dumpling soup!!! Only $19 too.. Good, cheap and fresh!Posted on Roma CampbellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely wee joint, great service and tasty food. I had the dumpling soup, it was delicious. Looking forward to seeing this place thrive, and rooting for it. No license yet but I believe they're working on it. Would recommend checking it out.Posted on Tane Hubert-BassettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me and my partner have been here multiple times now and the food is amazing and the staff are all so welcoming and happy to help. My partner has been to Nepal and says it reminds her so much of her time she spent there. 10/10 recommend to anyone considering coming to eat here!Posted on HarryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow!!! Incredibly good comfort food here. Authentic Nepalese street food done well. Very friendly and informative about the dishes on offer.Posted on Keith LyonsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tasty food from Nepal and normal cafe drinks. I had the momos which were healthy and hearty in a rich tomato spicy sauce. Clean environment and modern interior. Worth the visit to New Brighton.Posted on Michael CleaverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very quiet midday on a Tuesday but the food was delicious and the service was greatPosted on Karen HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It didn't have Cabinet food so it was not ideal at the time x
