Nestled along Jalan Datuk Ooh Chooi Cheng, this charming establishment brings the rich flavors of Nepal to your plate. With a simple yet inviting setup, Gorkhali boasts a menu full of delightful dishes that highlight the unique influences of Indian and Tibetan cuisine on Nepali food.

I came here the first time. Very simple set up for a restaurant, simple menu, most of the items I had to google them to know more about the food. The staff speaks fluent Malay, and she can explain the food well. I am a big fan of Momo, and so I ordered one to try (takeaway). The momo has thin skin (not as thin as xiao long bao), but one of the thinnest I have tasted among many Nepalis restaurant. The fillings are satisfactory, and I absolutely love the sauce that comes with it. I have no idea what ingredients constitute to the sauce. But it has some peppercorn smell, which gives a very subtle numbing effect. It was very good. A set of 10 momos cost rm12 which is kinda reasonable. I will revisit to try other items. ----------------- Second visit update. I tried their chicken curry rice set. It comes with the same sauce I mentioned above, love it. The rice can be added at no additional charge. There are many nepali / north Indian products for purchase. One of my favorites was the pani puri papad.

They have nice tasting "momos" here. Right pitch of salt. Better than the ones I had in New Delhi last year.

A taste of Nepal Today we really dove into the Nepali food culture fully, and tried most of the available dishes. Nepali food is really interesting to me, it has a lot of Indian and Tibetan influence, but Nepali people have really made the dishes their own.
