What better way to experience traditional Nepali food in Surry Hills than with a trip to The Nepalese Kitchen. Quietly tucked away on Crown Street, this Sydney restaurant, akin to a Nepalese house, radiates with warmth and beckons you to enter; inside, the aromatic fragrance of spice wafts through an intimate split level restaurant, set with dark wood and golden hued lighting. Take your pick from a menu of authentic Nepalese cuisine, on which you may find traditional street style snacks like panu puri - crispy bite sized semolina puffs stuffed with potatoes and chickpeas, served with a tangy mix of green chilli, tamarind and mint – and main dishes such as malekhu maccha – fish in a spicy batter with sesame seeds and mustard, served in a roti with salad.
