We came to this restaurant for the first time based on google reviews. The food was just average but the wait time for food (after getting seated) is high. We ordered several things starting from the drinks which had more water and less of the juices/spirits, jhol chicken momos were cold from inside (since the server got ours and someone else’s order together, so I’m sure not if ours were cooked and waiting), chicken chili momos were good but they could’ve been hot (temperature wise) as well, chicken chowmein was again average, chatpate (rice puffs) were missing so many ingredients as compared to the traditional recipe.

Cannot say enough great things about this little restaurant. Very friendly staff and delicious food and drinks. Father in Law had the Chili chicken stirfry, I had the traditional curry platter and my wife had the chow mein which she also loved.

Great food, nice patio at the back and looked nice inside. Very friendly server and good selection of food and drinks.

Fantastic food. Great service

Amazing Might be the best food in Vancouver

Friendly staff polite service. First time in a Gurkha restaurant. Impressed with the food, simple but good.

As i sat, eating my meal at this restaurant, a couple called the owner over and said this was the best food they’ve ever had in Vancouver. I just want to balance that out a bit. The goat curry was far from being traditional and was mediocre at best, the lentil soup and the mango lassi were disgusting. The momos were decent. I’d probably go here again at some point but it’s a pretty average place in my opinion.

We wanted something different while on a staycation in downtown. The chicken Momo was recommended by a good friend, and so we took the opportunity to try it. We ordered take out to bring back to dine in our hotel suite. Along with the Chicken Momo (steamed) we also ordered Lamb Momo, Lamb and Spinach curry and Mustang Wings (Sweet & Spicy). The momos were better than advertised - the fillings was very generous. The dipping sauces served with them were delicious and paired well. Of note, the spice level we opted for was mild - there was almost no spice, so if you may want to up the spice level if you enjoy spicy food.The Lamb & Spinach curry was one of the best curry dishes we've had in a long time. All was balanced, lamb was tender and the spinach plentiful.The Mustang wings were ok. Mostly sweet and not too much spice (mild option). They were like a solid pub-style fried chicken wing.All in all a wonderful meal and we look forward to a return visit.Of note: we first tried to order via Doordash, but was unable to do so. We then called in our order for pick up and there were no issues with that.

I have been a vegetarian for almost a decade and this is hands down some of the best food I’ve ever had. The tofu momos were DELICIOUS and the bamboo shoots, omg! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. My fiancé ordered the goat curry and he loved it. We also got some delicious naan and Tibetan bread. Surya, our server, was very nice and polite from the beginning and he also recommended several dishes. We will come back to Vancouver just for this restaurant! The vibes, music, and indoor design are a plus too; very beautiful and serene. Y’all deserve a sixth star!
