Best PlaceJuice Reviews
This place is a little gem in Liverpool. From the cozy and warm environment, to the service that is absolutely outstanding. The food is delicious, well presented and absolutely satisfying! We came back twice. We are lucky that this restaurant is close to our home, but it is definitely worth a trip. Ask advice to the waiter regarding the food, they will be able to guide you through Nepalese cuisine. Well deserved 5 stars.
Just got home from the most amazing meal I've had in a long time. The food was amazing everything was so flavourful and tasty. Would definitely recommend the fried vegetable mini ball starter hands down best vegetable dish ever ????. The grilled meats are seasoned so well personally the poleko chicken it is still delicious. The gurka bread is such a nice refreshing bread to go with the grilled meats.
When I first mentioned that I had booked there to someone they told me it was hands down the best restaurant on South road and now I'm going to have to agree.
10/10 would recommend
100% will be returning
Very friendly atmosphere. Lovely food very well presented. Would come again. Hospitality amazing.
2022: It was our first time going here and we didn't know what to expect, but honestly it's was mouthwateringly delicious.
It seems Nepalese food likes to use mint a lot, which I very much love. It's similar to Indian food in a way, if I had to choose what it was closest too, but it's way nicer. The spice levels do range but each dish tells you whether it's mild, medium or hot and you can ask for it to not be spicy if you prefer.
The price was actually well worth it, it wasn't expensive, for how fancy the restaurant and the food presentation was I expected it to be more, but actually it's not. The starters ranged between about £3-£8 depending what you got and whether you had the meat/fish starters. Mains on average were between £10-£15 and sides, such as the ghurka potatoes, bread and rice, which we had, were around £3.
And on top of that you get free poppadoms and dips, amazing!
The service was excellent and the servers were kind, caring and very prompt.
Definitely one of my favourite restaurants, we'll be going back there soon for sure.
Also to explain my pictures; one is of the side dishes, the ghurka bread, the ghurka potatoes, the ghurka rice, the last two both came with their own bowl of curry like dip.
Another is my main, the lamb and chicken grill, it comes with what tastes like sweet pickled beetroot, carrot and cabbage in the middle.
The last one is a picture of our starters, Nepalese dumplings (called momo) on the long black plater, they come with a curry sauce on top. Poleko chicken, which was so tasty I wish I had it as a main. Then finally tarkari or tarkeri, I'm not sure how to spell it but they were divine (also on our plates in the photo). They sort of tasted like a mix between an onion bhaji and a pakora but so much nicer and with veggies in the middle. I definitely recommend them but they are a little bit spicy, but in a nice way.
Update 2023: We went back a year later and it's still just as amazing, the food was exceptional and as last time, the staff were so accommodating and friendly.
Definitely would recommend trying here if you haven't!
For the extra pictures; the orange sauce in the bowl with cream swirled in it was called lamb nauni gedi, I believe. It had lamb chunks which fell apart so easily and the sauce/curry was delicious.
The next one kebab and chicken on the grill, with it's sauce.
Then Gurkha bread.
Then Rambache chicken, which is a starter. It was hot, but not too hot, and tasted to me like satay chicken minus the peanuts. It was gorgeous.
The four crispy balls on the slate is called Tarkari Gedi, something we got last time. They're mixed veg with spices in balls.
And lastly, the picture of Poleko chicken on a black hot plate. Another repeat from last time.
Incredible food. Incredible service. Flavour is there and well presented, get the customer favourite hot lamb dish if you want your mind to be blow.
Oh also it's very affordable!
Great food and lovely ambiance. Very friendly staffs. Superb experience.
An excellent restaurant...run by a family which was obviously from Nepal and the host was from the gurkha regiment (retired).
Extremely welcoming and a fantastic meal.
I would certainly recommend here for an evening meal.
Lovely friendly greeting at the door by the Captain (owner) seated at our table then 2 x complimentary papadams with 4 delicious dips came out. Mint and honey, beetroot and lime, a fresh salsa and blow your socks off chilli dip. Such a beautiful touch as these days you do not getting anything complimentary. Had Chicken for main and it was delicious with a thick curry sauce, lamb was delicious that my friend had with cashews, cream and honey. Gurka bread and 2 shared Gurka rice. All 6 of us so enjoyed our starters and mains.
The owner is such a happy and jovial man and a good entertainer. The staff are lovely and they gel well as a team. Hugs goodbye and would highly recommend this beautiful restaurant and incredibly delicious ???? food. 5 stars ???? Gurka from the Aussie and family who dined on Friday night.
PS I forgot to pay you $35 for the photos you took of us Lol at $5 per photo lol ????
Thanks again for your kind and delightful hospitality and of course compliments to the wonderful Chef ????
