Absolutely enjoyed my experience and the food. It's a mix of Nepali, Indian food. They say they have Japanese food too; like sushi but we just came for the Nepali and Indian food. It was delicious. Everything was made fresh! Service was great, server was super nice and decided to open a little earlier for us. Atmosphere was pretty amazing, gave Nepali and India vibes with gold accents, temples as portraits, and also spacious inside. They had incents going so it gave a calming atmosphere. We ordered several dishes; lamb biriyani, chicken curry, garlic naan, momo plate. So good, if we were ever back in town, I'd like to come back. Till then, let's eat! read more

See all

Even though I live in the East End which is known for its Indian restaurants, I don't think I have ever had a better curry than in this restaurant located all the way West. The food served here is authentic and exquisite. I have ever only heard good things about it. The restaurant itself is quite nice and the service is very friendly, but since my friend used to live really close by we usually settled for takeaway. The curries are all very tasty and perfectly spiced. Kathmandu is not only an Indian restaurant but also serves Nepalese, as its name suggests. The best dish on the menu is a mild Nepalese curry served with mangos called 'Lamb Nepal'. I think I could live on this dish everyday if I had half the chance. Next time you venture out West, make sure to stop by this amazing restaurant. read more

Kathmandu Inn - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - London, XGL

Samosas and onion Bhaji to start, a couple of veggie dishes (3), naan, rice, wine (bottle house red). The whole dinner for three was under us$60. Service was good, an excellent place to have a nice value meal read more

Went on a Saturday night and it was full. To their word they called us in a nearby pub when a table was ready. We had prawn puri to start which was perfectly fine. Mains were chicken tikka masala and a chicken chilli dish described as "extremely hot". My companions thought that description spot on but having asbestos taste buds I disagreed. Each dish tasted fresh and different rather than coming from a base gravy. The masala was creamy and unctuous, properly made with chicken tikka pieces. The Bombay aloo was also nice. Now the downside. Though friendly the service was very sloooow. It took 20 plus minutes for the starter to arrive. The mains took even longer. They were busy yes, but it still took too long. So 3 not 4 stars from Mr hard-to-please. read more

Kathmandu falls very neatly between two stools. It has the look and feel of the local curry house. But it has the food of a very good Indian restaurant. Nestled in the middle of a number of very well renowned local Indian restaurants, this one could well lay claim to the 'best all-rounder' title. Not quite as posh as Zing, not quite as fiercely resolute as Sagar, not quite as welcoming as Potli. But maybe when you balance out the food, the service and the surroundings Kathmandu has the edge. It's up for argument and I'll happily go on a fact finding mission with anyone who wants to see for themselves! Anyway, it's not a competition. If you live around here you can employ the old rotation policy and do a different one each week. What you get at Kathmandu is a menu of Nepalese food which is delicately spiced and cooked with much more care than a normal curry house. Read through the literature on the menu to see how proud they are of their region, its people and its food. It's interesting stuff and sets the scene nicely. When a restaurant has a pride and a purpose you're on your way. All the usual good curry house fare is there. The dhansaks, the kormas, the bhunas etc. But it's when you swerve over to the Nepalese special dishes that the real fun starts. We've had plenty of everything and it's all been fab. Lots of cream, lots of spice, a fair bit of egg. Comfort food if you need comforting. Or lively as hell if your mouth needs a dance. What has struck us most has been when we've ordered a take away from there. You pay maybe a fiver more than you would at an ordinary take away, but the food is so much more subtly flavoured. Each dish tastes very different, which is something that can't be said of normal local curry house fare. Worth the little extra you pay without a doubt. Eating at the restaurant is a pleasant experience. It's small but comfy and there's always somebody there scoffing away. Kathmandu is everything you'd want from a local curry house. And everything you'd want from very decent Indian restaurant. In fact it's just everything you'd want. nb Matthew Norman, renowned food critic, raves about the place, so if you aren't convinced by my ramblings have a butcher's at his, he's much better at this than me. read more

We auditioned these guys in our never ending search for the perfect Friday night curry delivery. (We sacked the last guys, Rajput in Goldhawk Road, after they delivered our order three hours late one too many times. Damn we miss their grub though). So, a word of warning before we begin: when it comes to Indian food, we are super demanding. The Wife is Indian, and The Husband (having worked in India) has serious William Dalrymple pretensions. Anyway, The Father in Law has taught us that the ultimate test of a good Indian restaurant is their vegetable samosas. This one definitely failed the test. The pastry was almost certainly Readyroll, the contents Birdseye, and the seasoning bland. 6/10, comparable to Waitrose samosas, but rather more expensive. We then had two chicken curries, because this is another test - do they look alike, or do they look as if each one has been cooked separately, with distinct spices? We went for the Himali Chicken and the Karahi Chicken. The coriander was very fresh and the meat looked and tasted like chicken (a change from most Indian restaurants), but the sauces and flavours were virtually identical in both taste and appearance, which is really not good. They were also very greasy, and neither flavoursome nor rich. There was no subtlety of flavour, and though we ordered medium hot curries, there was no 'kick' in either one. 5/10. We had plain boiled rice - it was almost spot on, but not quite. It was not Basmati, despite the claim on the menu, but a generic version without the fluffiness or the famous aroma. 8/10. The garlic naan was superb - very freshly baked and possibly the very best The Wife has ever had. The garlic was fresh and almost crunchy, the butter real, and the texture just right. 10/10 Service was seriously impressive. Admittedly, we only live five minutes down the road, but it was at our front door within 20 minutes and everything (as you'd hope) was hot. The chap who delivered gets an extra pat on the back for bringing it up to our flat, rather than making us make the long journey down a flight of stairs (it's Friday kids, we've had a long week). So overall, curries are meh, rice and naan are great, and service is excellent. Sadly, the food is the most important element for us, and these guys just didn't make the grade. Next! read more

I ordered food for delivery from Katmandu Inn and I must say, I was impressed. Momo, Katmandu Chili Chicken and Prawn Bhuna were all delicious and didn't disappoint. Delivery time of 45 mins at 8:30p on a Sunday night wasn't too bad but could've been better. However the food was worth the wait. I will definitely be ordering from them again and soon. read more

In my view this is the best Indian or Nepalese restaurant in West London. The quality of the food is excellent well spiced and tasty. The sauces are excellent good flavours and can be as spicy as you want or enjoy. The service is friendly and good, the waiters are happy to discuss and explain the dishes and it is clean and tidy restaurant. They do a take away service but we have not used it as we enjoy going out for a meal. Great place but busy in the evenings, not surprising as the food is so good. read more

We went there the other night for a quiet dinner. The atmosphere is delightful with very friendly and helpful staff. The food was amazing, every bite was devine. One of the best curries I have had in London and that is saying a lot!! Be sure to give it a try - i know I will be back!! :-) read more

I pass by Kathmandu Inn every day on my way to work but had never considered stopping in until Nigella herself posted an Instagram of takeaway from here! After seeing that I knew I had to try it and I was not disappointed! The place is normally fairly empty but I can't understand why. All of the food was delicious and very well priced. The poppadoms and dips at the beginning were delicious and had a nice range of flavors including one nice and spicy one. For my entree I ordered the mango vegetable curry (one of the chefs specials) and it was fantastic. It was just the right amount of creamy and sweet while still having a nice strong flavor. Definitely one of the best curry dishes I have had in London. I also went with the coconut naan which was incredible, I could eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. I left feeling sickeningly full but happy. Everyone else seemed equally pleased with their meals and I will definitely go back soon! read more

I've tried a lot of curreis around London (Manchester and Sheffield), from quite cheap to very very expensive, and I have to say this is the nicest I have had, It has not been "anglosised" so every dish is full of flavour, and I always go for something I've never had before. The place is spotless, food fantastic, reasonably priced, good quality meat and the service is not pushy. Comes highly recommended by myself. read more
