What Our Guests Say

Absolutely the best Nepalese food I've had in Amsterdam! The Momo dumplings are incredible — so authentic and flavorful. The cozy interior with Himalayan art on the walls makes you feel like you've been transported to Kathmandu. Surya and his team are so welcoming.

We stumbled upon this gem in Kinkerbuurt and now it's our regular spot. The Gorkha Curry is unlike anything else in the city — bold, aromatic, and perfectly spiced. The Butter Chicken is also divine. Great value for the quality you get.

We celebrated our anniversary here and it was perfect. Intimate atmosphere, attentive service, and the food was outstanding. The Nepali Biryani and Tandoori platter were the highlights. The Khukuri Rum was a fun discovery too!

Really authentic Nepalese cuisine. The spice levels are real — when they say hot, they mean it! Loved the Chicken Vindaloo. The restaurant is small but charming with beautiful Nepali decor. Definitely recommend booking ahead for weekend evenings.
