"I heard about this place from a friend. He said it was Nepalese cuisine. I got curious. I know Nepal shares a lot in common with India, in terms of culture. But didn't know what was different in terms of food. So I decided to check it out. Went their with my wife, a pure vegetarian. She knew she would find something there as it was Nepalese. Any culture with a bit of Hindu influence serves proper, pure vegetarian dishes that are spicy and full of flavour and aroma. Salads are the last thing that an Indian vegetarian would prefer to have for lunch or dinner. So now you know why there are so many vegetarians in India. We took a good look at the menu. There were familiar names and there were some totally unheard of items which we knew had to be authentic Nepalese. So we tried jogi tarkari, an unusual vegetable curry with mushrooms, cottage cheese, spinach, green peas, beans, chick peas and potatoes. The aforementioned items aren't usually mixed together in one dish in India. So this sounded weird but tasted really good, which was what we wanted after all. We also tried the biryani. It was different again but delicious. They usually serve biryani with mutter (green peas masala on the side. But I thought I'd try some Raita (indian version of greek tzatziki, but spicy and less thicker . The biryani was brilliant. But I quickly realized that the raita they serve in the restaurant used sweet yoghurt as the base, which tasted more like dessert than a side for biryani. When asked why Nepalese has sweet raita to the waiter, he said it was only for British people. If I had requested for normal raita they would have served the non-sweet version. If only I knew that the version they were going to serve me, a brown man with an Indian accent, the British version of Nepalese Raita. I couldn't have made myself any more obvious. Anyways, they had their reasons. And hence we saved money on desserts by not buying anything else. It is a classy restaurant, prices are reasonably high. Great quality of service and lots of drinks available. They do buffets for lunch on weekends (I'm not aware of other days which comes with naan, vegetarian and non vegetarian starters, sweet chutney and spicy chutney, rice, vegetarian (daal [lentils] and aloo palak [potatoes and spinach] and non vegetarian (lamb and chicken curries for 9.95 per person. It is a bargain! I totally recommend. If you like spicy do mention that when giving your orders, you don't want to be served sweets instead of curries."
