Great Nepalese Restaurant

We had a very good & cheap Nepalese just next to Euston station, especially for vegetarians with aloo caule and gundruk ko tarkari. Good if you want to discover a different kind of spicy.

Excellent place with great food.
Had the momos the mutton starter and the chicken chilli. So delicious!
Beware though the chicken chilli is beautifully fiery.
Service is fantastic, everyone is so nice and friendly. Great atmosphere too!
Had the rassmalai and the pistachio kulfi as well. Sooooo good. Tasted like home.
They also serve Kathmandu beer. Yum
Will definitely be back!

Great food. Given what my friend and I have ordered, I would say the portions was generous and the food very tasty.
Never had a mutton near so tender (traditionally is very strong).
And given the fact we were just us and another small group of people, the amount if time we waited for the food to be delivered is only synonym of freshly cooked food.
The owner is very gentle and supportive. Will be back again at a certain point.

Eversholt Street is bizarre-it’s like a tiny sliver of Brewer Street’s strange and/​or seedy shops, together with regular businesses-​such as the Great Nepalese. This establishment is sandwiched between a cross-​dressing store and a sex shop. It has been here for decades, however despite using Euston constantly, I hadn’t visited since 1987!
We chose this place as some friends had limited time before they caught a train. I’m very glad we did. We entered around lunchtime on a Saturday and were warmly greeted. I was disappointed to learn the waiter didn’t recognise me from my last visit, but he indicated he wasn’t waiting tables when he was seven-​his age on my last visit (God, I’m old!).
The interior is very nice-​muted colours and very tastefully done. It definitely doesn’t fall into the Indian «Flock wallpaper» brigade of Indian restaurants. There was only one other table taken at that time, though it filled up later on. For starters, we had an excellent prawn puri and sheek kebab. Both were very tasty. For mains, I had the chili chicken, described in the menu as «very hot». I’m afraid I will be the judge of that and it was merely-​meh! to my palate (in terms of heat). Others with less asbestos on the tongue may find it hotter. However, it was clearly tasty and had a deep, rich chilli taste. My son pronounced the chicken tikka masala as excellent and we also had a chicken sag which was good. The food tasted freshly prepared. We took so long over the mains that the waiter said the restaurant should be closing soon, but if we wanted desert they would stay open as long as needed. We thought this nice and couldn’t fault the service. For deserts we had kulfi which were not like set concrete-​a problem sometimes with kulfi. This restaurant is too good to simply be a quick meal before a train. It is a bit of an institution and I promised out waiter I would not wait another 29 years before I visited again.

Great tasting food. Arrived at 10.45pm so happy to be seated and fed as was well hungry. Staff friendly and very efficient. Had Chicken Chat and Tilka dish with nan and rice. No complaints here with the food

This place is an incredible find.
It is like a ray of light in a squalid corner of London, like a hummingbird in a nest of starlings.
Eversholt street, Euston is a seedy affair now, it has perhaps become even more so over the last decade, yet The great Nepalese Restaurant stands out in the hope that it may, one day, get better again. Nestled in amongst the strip clubs, lap dancing venues and dingy ‘massage & tanning’ shops, you possibly wouldn’t expect such an authentic and salubrious institution.
I had the distinct pleasure of dining here tonight with my dad, a great place to shoot the breeze and get a substantial, yet not expensive meal.
The restaurant is tidy, if not completely contemporary in décor and there was a regular stream of diners. We turned up unannounced and were seated right away, on some nights I imagine you would need to book.
We started the evening with a Nepalese classic: Masco Bara — deep fried lentil pancakes (not thin and flat but small and plump) with an accompanying curry sauce, which complemented the crisp pancake shells without overpowering the lentil flavour. Our other starter was Lamb Momo: little meat-​filled dumplings drenched In a finely balanced spicy chilli sauce. Both dishes were delicious and not over-​filling.
Next up was Chicken Lasoon and Duck Kathmandu Tho. The duck came sizzling, tender, meaty, juicy and bathed in a sauce rich with onion and garlic and finely nuanced spices. Often I have found duck fatty and heavy, seeping oil onto the plate, but not here, it was just right, lean and cooked excellently, the sizzle bringing out the incredible aromas. The Chicken, drier, but still succulent in a medium hot sauce, plenty of flavour without being sloppy or stodgy, onion and ginger themes with more well weighted spices.
Washed down with a Kathmandu beer each, which represented itself surprisingly well, the evening was capped off beautifully by the attentive, friendly staff who were helpful and polite.
I can’t recommend this place highly enough.
And I can’t see why other reviewers have marked it down when nobody has a bad word to say about it!

I can’t tell from the menu here how Nepalese is different from your standard Indian food, really, but it was a good dinner!
There’s not much in the way of restaurants in the Euston area and Great Nepalese is sort of on a block of sex shops and table dancing venues. A friend recommended it after a trip to the Wellcome Collection and it’s very near the station.
Service was friendly and attentive, seating was cozy but not too tight, dishes were on the small side but everything was tasty and pretty inexpensive.
One thing to note – a lot of the food is in creamy rather than tomato-​based sauces. Probably not the place to go if you’re lactose intolerant unless you’re there for the mixed grill and aubergines. A solid restaurant.

Handy place for a meal before taking the train from Euston. Friendly service and lovely Indian food, distinctly different from the standard Indian menu in the uk. Intersting sour and smoky flavours, and spicy!

Summary based on a couple of dinners:
–good if in the area
–friendly service that will explain the food on offer
–often seating is available without booking
–inexpensive
