How we read reviews →Malvern East's intimate Nepalese dining room where momos and sekuwa win over suburb regulars.
Warm and intimate with a homely Nepalese sensibility. The dining room is cosy and welcoming, with an atmosphere that reviewers compare to a family home. Busy weekend nights get noticeably noisy. Owner Hem is often present, personalising the experience for regulars.
BYO wine (corkage applies); handmade momos prepared on-site. owner has been spotted making them by hand; Nepalese beer on the menu; tapas-style platter makes for an excellent shared starter; dessert options include milk dumplings with ice cream.
Genuinely Nepalese-owned and operated, with dishes like sekuwa, tarkari, chow chow and dal bhat that have a distinct Nepalese identity. Authenticity reviews are split. Nepalese community reviewers sometimes note the spice profile is calibrated for a broader audience, while non-Nepalese diners consistently find the flavours distinctive and genuine.
Priced in the mid-range for the style. not cheap but considered reasonable by the majority of satisfied regulars. Some first-timers find it pricier than expected. BYO wine helps manage the overall bill. Corkage and cake charges have caught some diners by surprise.
