Himalayan Gurkhas - Dee Why

Boy, do I like free stuffMight be my hobo heritage, but free stuff rings my bellsShould see me on council cleanup day.

My partner ordered the Beef Curry and I opted for the Lamb Bhutuwa. We requested our dishes to be medium-hot, but I found the lamb to be rather mild. Though tasty, it was also tough. I jokingly thought about ordering a goat dish instead, but reconsidered as goats are such lovable animals. The highlight of my meal was the Roti - a Himalayan style garlic Naan with coriander. Despite the slow service, which was attributed to a health inspector visit, the staff were attentive and the prices were reasonable. Next time, we'll skip the meat dishes and try the vegetable options as they seem to be the preferred choice by many reviewers.

This Nepalese restaurant is the only one I know of on Sydney's Northern Beaches. The sauces here are distinct from Indian cuisine, with dishes being cooked longer. We compared it to our favorite Indian restaurants by ordering Roti with garlic and coriander, which was similar to Naan bread but with a unique twist - the coriander was mixed into the dough, giving it a slightly different color but still delicious. I enjoyed the Beef Curry for $17, with an additional side of plain rice for $3. Unlike nearby Indian restaurants, this place charges for condiments and rice separately. The beef in my curry was tender and well-cooked, indicative of the longer cooking times. However, the "tomato gravy" sauce was milder than I expected. My partner ordered the Lamb Bhutuwa, which she found to be medium hot as requested, although I found it a bit tough. While I rate the beef curry as very good, my partner's dish was enjoyable but not excellent. Overall, this restaurant is a great choice when you're looking for something similar to Indian cuisine but with a unique Nepalese twist.

We went to this restaurant for a quick meal. When we arrived, the restaurant was empty. The food was very average and the beef was not tender. The flavor was okay, but considering they were not busy, the service was slow. We decided to have dessert, which we shared. The mango ice cream was $7, which we thought was expensive. Overall, we would not return to this restaurant.

Great service and food. Plenty of variety to choose from. We found the restaurant by accident and were pleasantly surprised. Owners were lovely.
