 Not many of us tonight, so not many choices.

We saw this restaurant in passing the previous fortnight and for want of any other ideas decided to give it a try. Nepalese, why not.  It's tucked away in Palmerston Lane, Manuka, and is well presented, nice and quite.  We basically liked the food,  weren't overwhelmed by it.  The curries were nice, fairly standard. We found the chhoela chicken and the soybean and peanut salsa very odd.  Both were had a very mustard hot flavour which was almost unpleasant. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be and we're just not up to it and we did want to try something different after all.

Still, I shouldn't be too harsh.  It's a nice little restaurant, the service was very friendly and helpful, the rest of the food your standard Indian subcontinent type, the diced lamb very tasty.  Ron REALLY liked his buckwheat pancake dessert which we've never come across before in Canberra
