Tucked inside Forest Lake Shopping Centre, this kitchen turns out genuine Nepalese comfort food anchored by spiced dumplings and slow-simmered curries. First-timers usually start with the twenty-piece tasting platter—a mix of steamed and pan-fried momos flanked by fiery house chili-garlic chutney. The real insider order is the buff sukuti, dried buffalo meat flash-fried with aromatic mountain spices and peppers, or a bowl of rich goat curry with seasoned rice. Guests often end the meal with sweet chocolate-stuffed dumplings.
