If you are in search of a Nepalese/Indian restaurant that embodies Eastern ambience, then look no…read morefurther. Kathmandu, opposite Colston Hall, offers diners an authentic Nepali/Indian experience. On entering the venue, your senses are immediately indulged: subtle aromas of burning incense, infused with rich spices, create a mystical vibe, in addition to the warm candle light and captivating Indian art, making you feel as if you are actually in India. Run by a Nepalese family who import indigenous spices from a village in their home country, the restaurant produces a diverse range of curries. My favourite is the chicken Pasanda, a dish simply oozing with creamy, yogurty goodness and unique blends of spices. You can expect to pay more than is usual for Indian cuisine, but your experience is guaranteed to make those extra pennies seem worthwhile.

I really like this restaurant. The food is good and the service impeccable. When I first walked in,…read moreI thought that the room was much bigger than it actually is, due to one of the walls consisting entirely of mirrors. They must polish these things day and night, because I was totally convinced, until I noticed one of the join lines a good few minutes later (and it wasn't just me, to note, I heard another couple say exactly the same thing as we were leaving). I must recommend the vegetable tikka massala - I know, I'm not very adventurous - but I have a policy of always judging a place by its massala. Once that test's been passed, I'm willing to come back and try something a little more exciting. I expect the staff at Kathmandu will be seeing a fair bit more of me in the coming months, then.

The food is delicious and prices are in line with other Indian restaurants in the area. Parking is a bit limited though. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars from me though is the wait time. Every time I've been there has been a substantial wait for food as the restaurant also runs a take away service which I think compromises the efficiency of the restaurant.

I liked the steamed momos but thought the veg filling was too soft for my liking. The curry was good but sadly way too spicy for me. The restaurant had a small seating area and more of a self-service feel. One of us saved our seats, while the other went up to the counter to order. The servers brought out the food item by item as soon as each one was ready. One of the servers kindly asked us if we were done with our meal if they could give our seats to the next people in line. We were more than happy to since the space was small. I highly recommend House of Momo!!

Especially for the price, the chili noodle (£7.50) and the steamed momo (£6) was quite filling (plus 12.5% charge for dine-in), but it's a bit too greasy and not as spicy as I expected. It wasn't crowded when I ordered, but the indoor space filled up as I was finishing up. Would definitely come back to try their other options.

Oh my gosh! If they were open on today (Monday), we would have come back to dine here again. It was…read morejust that amazingly good! As you enter down the stairs to the entrance, pause and take a deep breath. As you enter in, you are greeted warmly, enveloped in warm decor, gentle Nepalese music, and a sense of someplace exotic and relaxing. There are a few rooms for dining inside and a garden patio area for enjoying the outdoors. My husband and I have never had Nepalese food before. We thought this would be an interesting taste amid our British journey. And indeed it was! The flavors were so tasty, ranging from subtle to vibrant. There were flavors I could not identify and yet wanted to continue eating because they were so unique and flavorful. I don't believe we left a crumb on our plates! And then there was the dessert. I have truly fallen in love with the flavor of the marinated oranges and yogurt that I had for dessert. I've never tasted anything like it before. I literally closed my eyes to block out all else so I could simply savor the delicate flavors. What a treat! When back home, I am definitely going to see if I can find a Nepalese restaurant to enjoy, but doubt it can replicate the deliciousness of this dining experience.

They played Nepalese music softly in the background. We each ordered the house dish: I got chicken and my husband got beef. You can choose mild, medium, hot, or very hot spices. We got medium and it was perfect. My husband had ale, and I had a limeade that is offered to thirsty pilgrims. Delicious! We would definitely recommend it!

Ample parking and free after 6pm (Gurkha opens at 5.30) Two thumbs up!
