Contrary to some of the unfavourable reviews below, I enjoyed eating at this restaurant. If you come to Newtown regularly or live nearby, it is a tasty change (from all the Thai!!). Different food, a quaint dining atmosphere and excellent service.

Service: The service was definitely outstanding. Ambience: I liked the layout of the restaurant - it doubles as a shop, selling a lot of Nepalese trinkets and there was nice Nepalese music playing in the background. Some may call it tacky - but I thought it was cute! Food: The food was not amazing - but it was definitely different. If you live in Newtown and dislike Thai . . . it was a welcome change! Aromatic and tasty.

Value: I thought it was fine for value! Others have complained about the value, but I didn't notice that the portion sizes were small at all. Particularly if you have the vegetarian dishes, which (if I remember correctly) were about $10 each.

This Napalese restaurant is an all time favourite of ours, it is a true hidden treasure of Newtown. The food is aromatic and extremely tasteful, the tomato archar and the pork dumplings are divine. The portion sizes are adequate and reasonably priced. The owner and his family provide outstanding service and are always attentive and friendly. The restaurant rarely has more than 2 or 3 tables seated, making it ideal for an intimate night with your partner. The only criticism would be that the menu is quite limited and the specials rarely change. I thoroughly recommend this dining experience.

The service was friendly and good. The entree dish MOMO was very delicous and better than most of the usual Chineese dumpling. The main of Goat Curry was alright too.

Went here recently with some friends. This was the first time I had tried Nepalese food and I was surprised at just how aromatic and flavoursome it was. The service was great and we came away all commenting on the exceptional taste. The ambiance could have been improved by some lower lighting but apart from that it was a great choice for dinner. Will definitely go again.

Visited this place last night, and to be totally honest, we shouldn't have walked in after seeing that there was only 1 table seated inside, the sign on the outside mentioning how they are willing to open the store during the day if you called them. Prices were ridiculous a serving of main around $15 for a portion less that of an entree. It was served as if they were trying to save their sauces, by watering it down, and then having the guts to charge 50c a glass for tap water...

This restaurant/retail shop should really make its mind up to what it really wants to sell, it should focus in on one as its not doing a great job multi-tasking.

I certainly did not share the experience of the others on this site.

The food was mediocre - dull, underportioned and watery.

The ambience was tacky - literally everything was for sale and a sign of desperation on the window: "call up during the day if you wish to buy anything and we will open for 'u'".

The service was the only respectable part, the (i assume) owner was quite attentive, very apologetic when he didn't have enough beef to serve all of us.

The value was terrible, for a restaurant of this quality, ~$18 for a small main plus $3 for rice (ridiculous) is bad enough, let alone having to pay for tap water. This was without a doubt the worst restaurant i have been to, and I do not plan to make a return, in fact I would warn others not visit either.

This was my first Nepalese experience and it was absolutely fantastic. The restaurant is intimate with a very authentic Nepal feel to it. The food was fresh, tasty and well present. We were served by the owner and he is just a delightful man and very attentive. Overall this is one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time! Will return.
