Spice Of Gurkha

I first had Nepalese food at Jojolopa in Birmingham, and now whenever I go to Birmingham that's the restaurant I head for. I next had Nepalese food in York, so I was delighted to discover that King's Lynn has a Nepalese restaurant. To be honest,...the menu only has a few items of genuine Nepalese food on it, the most of it being straightforward Indian, but I urge you to ask for the Nepalese items. The establishment is modest in size and does well to keep within the bounds of achievability. It does this by cooking everything fresh as ordered. The aim is not to have buckets of sauces and half cooled chicken/lamb etc hanging around on the off chance that someone will sooner or later ask for it. This was evidenced by having the moistest Tandoor cooked chicken I have ever had. Whenever in the past I've had Tandoor chicken it has been easy but dry, but this was so freshly cooked that it was a mouthful away from a cluck. Nepalese cuisine is distinct in character in that there are subtleties of flavours that I can only compare to how Thai food is compared to Chinese

Please note the restaurant has not just changed its name it is a completely new team. The news owners are from Nepal.. and are trying to be different. They do seem to be using quality ingredients and have some Nepalese dishes as well as...some usual favourites. My bread was perfect light and pillowy. Yellow dal with spinach was delicious. The staff were very attentive and noticed I had gone for healthier options so... so also avoided the use of butter or ghee etc. Will be back.

Firstly the service is very friendly and polite , but I question a menu which has cheesy chips as a starter and something called chicken ? As a main dish ?. The rice n breads are very nice and our group of four all...enjoyed the starters of prawn puri, my main madras) had a real undertaste of tomato soup and I asked a fellow diner to confirm. It was not like a madras I’m used too and was just hot tomato soup with nice) chicken .. I won’t be rushing back

Sunday night was busy probably due to the special deal allowing very wide choice of starter and main for a single price. Food and service was excellent. One of the best Indian meals we have enjoyed in recent years.
