“A small Nepalese restaurant in Stafford. Lots of choices on the menu. I'm on a low or no salt diet. They were so kind to speak to the chef and not add any salt to my food where they could. I recommend reserving a table it is a small restaurant. We had starters of vegetable samosa, lamb steamed mono and calamari. For mains we had chilli dry chicken, chicken noodle, barbeque prawn with Nepali roti, a plain naan and a shawarma naan. We just realised we paid for pilau rice, but didn't receive it. The bill came to £103.68 for three ciders, a cranberry juice and two glasses of red wine. All the food was nice, and piping hot. I brought some of mine home to eat the next day. Definitely go back the food is nice and the service is very good.”

“Me and some friends came here for dinner on a saturday night in Stafford. We were booked for 630pm due to having a comedy show later on. Place was basically empty in the front but full at the back. We were right by the door which meant getting blasted with cold air when ever it opened. The place is a small family owned and the staff are very attentive and helpful. I had one of the Gurka beers which was nice but felt quite heavy as a beer. It wasnt to my personal taste and was more like a ale then a lager. I then had the Rupa Ko Hans from the chefs special. The duck was cooked very well and melted in your mouth. The rice was nice but nothing special. The potatos with it were excellent and I wish it came with more then 4 smalls pieces. The poppadoms were good. I would go there again and try something else. For the four of us it came to about 115 quid which I thought was a fair price.”

“Small family owned restaurant serving authentic Nepalese food sounded to me like a good idea for dinner during a rainy night. Their menu has a wide variety of choices, which left me a bit puzzled as a tourist. They indicate the spice level next to every meal, which I found useful even though I had my doubts that it will be spicy adjusted to the English taste, unfortunately my doubts were later confirmed. Since I was in doubt which meal to order, I decided to go for a meal that serves several different curries in small sizes so I get to try as much as I can. Honestly, the food was tasty but I was expecting better for some reason, nevertheless I don't regret my experience there, maybe Nepalese food isn't just really my thing. We arrived a bit late for dinner so I had the feeling they were trying to rush us a bit so that they can close for the day, which even though I understand, but I still felt a bit unwelcomed. Maybe I will get a chance to try this restaurant another time and get to change my perspective.”

“This is such a lovely little place. Not only do you have the delicious food but you also have attentive staff who really love to share their culture as well as give great recommendations for the food. Everything we ate was delicious with great portion sizes. The child's meal was demolished by my little one. Would highly recommend”

“Took my partner last night, who is not a lover of foreign food, however, he absolutely loved it, and said ‘We can come here again’. Hooray! The staff were absolutely lovely, helpful, and genuinely caring people. They went out of their way to help us choose the right thing, which they did very successfully. A really delightful experience, thank you.”
