Himalayan Gurkhas - Dee Why

First time at this restaurant. Service was slower than it should be, beer was not cold enough, servings were small, but the food was delicious. So many different flavours. We all agreed that the egg plant, potato and spinach stir fry vegetarian dish was our favourite main and the Bara (pancake) with egg entree also vegetarian were the groups favourites.Prices are very good so don't be afraid to order an extra dish or two. Will probably go back again now that we know what to expect.

I have eaten in and had take away quite a few times and have never been disappointed with the food. It is very disappointing to find the place frequently empty though as this is not a reflection of the cuisine. If this restaurant were in a different location (ie with more passing trade), I'm sure it would be full every night. I love the chicken curry, momos and everything else I have tried has been excellent. I have certainly been to more chic Nepalese restaurants but this one has by far the best food and very good service.

My partner ordered the Beef Curry and I opted for the Lamb Bhutuwa. We requested our dishes to be medium-hot, but I found the lamb to be rather mild. Though tasty, it was also tough. I jokingly thought about ordering a goat dish instead, but reconsidered as goats are such lovable animals. The highlight of my meal was the Roti - a Himalayan style garlic Naan with coriander. Despite the slow service, which was attributed to a health inspector visit, the staff were attentive and the prices were reasonable. Next time, we'll skip the meat dishes and try the vegetable options as they seem to be the preferred choice by many reviewers.

This Nepalese restaurant is the only one I know of on Sydney's Northern Beaches. The sauces here are distinct from Indian cuisine, with dishes being cooked longer. We compared it to our favorite Indian restaurants by ordering Roti with garlic and coriander, which was similar to Naan bread but with a unique twist - the coriander was mixed into the dough, giving it a slightly different color but still delicious. I enjoyed the Beef Curry for $17, with an additional side of plain rice for $3. Unlike nearby Indian restaurants, this place charges for condiments and rice separately. The beef in my curry was tender and well-cooked, indicative of the longer cooking times. However, the "tomato gravy" sauce was milder than I expected. My partner ordered the Lamb Bhutuwa, which she found to be medium hot as requested, although I found it a bit tough. While I rate the beef curry as very good, my partner's dish was enjoyable but not excellent. Overall, this restaurant is a great choice when you're looking for something similar to Indian cuisine but with a unique Nepalese twist.

Great service and food. Plenty of variety to choose from. We found the restaurant by accident and were pleasantly surprised. Owners were lovely.
