We tried this place for the first time about 3 weeks ago. The customer service was awesome. Their food was good but I just felt that my Chicken Tikka Masala was too spicy for my palate. It might just be subjective as I'm not really good with spicy food so maybe just request your level of spice tolerance when you order if it can be requested to be less spicy. However, their chutneys with the papadoms were lovely! We even requested to take away the remaining chutneys but the lovely lady gave us a fresh batch. Great value for money too! Would recommend that you try this place! :)

I came here with my family for an evening meal. Beautifully decorated little restaurant. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. This was the first time I tried Nepalese food and I was so impressed, especially with their starters. We all had a wonderful meal! I will definitely come back again. A real gem in Didsbury.

As a Nepalese, Momos being one of our favourite food and finding all the different types of momos in one platter was the absolute dream come true. We absolutely loved the momo platter. It was authentic. Atmosphere was cosy. All the food prices were reasonable. Excellent communication from the staff and the owner was really friendly. We will visit again. We were really please. Definitely recommended. We will be back soon.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was authentic, flavorful, and freshly prepared — every dish felt like it was made with care and love . The mutton and chicken thali set was delicious and satisfying. What made the visit even more special was the warm hospitality. The owner was incredibly friendly, welcoming.Even the decoration painting are wonderful remains you about Nepal. If you’re looking for a place with amazing nepali food and a true sense of community, this is it. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be coming back!

For those looking to explore Indian and Nepali flavors, this restaurant is a gem, especially when it comes to momos and chaats. The momos—whether plain, Chilli Momos, or the flavorful Jhol Momos—are simply amazing. Each variety has its own distinct, rich taste and is a must-try for any momo lover. The Indo-Chinese starters also shine, offering the perfect balance of spices and flavors that hit the spot for those craving fusion cuisine. The Dosa, while decent, might not impress if you're a South Indian expecting the traditional taste and texture. It's good but doesn’t quite live up to the authentic South Indian dosa experience. Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit for its standout Indo-Chinese starters, chaats, and especially the diverse and delicious momos.

Durbar Square offers a truly authentic Nepalese dining experience. I have been here a few times & yet they manage to impress me every time This time, i went for newly introduced dal bhat with chicken curry. It was a flavorful delight with all the traditional sides. The staff was warm and knowledgeable, making the meal even more enjoyable. If you're looking to explore Nepalese cuisine, this place is a must-visit!

Family owned by lovely folk from Kathmandu. Many Indian dishes on the menu, presumably cos Brits are familiar with these dishes. We had amazing momu (dumplings) platter and chicken biryani. The parata breads are flaky and freshly made. All the food is served piping hot. I would say the dishes are on the spicy end
