Harden's survey result
Summary
“A gem!” – easily missed on the fringes of Westminster (not far from Vincent Square) – this welcoming Nepalese café realises its dumpling, noodles and other simple fare with a light touch. And if you need a lunchtime snack in Paddington, their truck in Merchant Square is also a handy option.
Summary
“Terrific Nepalese dishes in a basic setting” behind Victoria station. “The manager is exceptionally friendly and skillful – they were happy to make black lentils for us despite not being on the menu”. They also have a lunchtime food truck at Merchant Square in Paddington. Top Tip – “BYO, so don’t turn up empty-handed expecting a beer or glass of wine”.
Summary
“This cosy little restaurant behind Victoria station serves tasty home-style Nepalese cuisine”. It’s “well hidden, and surely dependent on word of mouth” – which makes it all the more impressive that it’s “mostly full”. “So book to avoid disappointment” – they’re “welcoming and keen to help diners explore the non-standard menu choices”. They also have a lunchtime food truck at the Merchant Square market in Paddington.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
