    This restaurant serves excellent food and we've been coming here for years. Can get very busy and the service sometimes suffers as a result. Don't let that put you off though because the food is worth it.

    Excellent food and service as usual and a very good atmosphere which is unlike most other places particularly midweek and we come from all over Stockport and Warrington

    Important Update:

    Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

    Best curry in West Dids! Do yourself a favour and go now. Chilli Paneer is a must, staff are ace and the Kathmandu Lager is great!

    Excellent curries, in my opinion the best in south Manchester. The chilli paneer is especially tasty, even though I am a meat eater! Very spicy though, be careful!

    Convivial atmosphere, attentive waiters, reasonable bill, scrumptious food! What more can one ask? Well, one thing. The wine was a disappointment, we chose the S African Shiraz. Not a patch on its Australian counterpart, started rough and had only marginally improved by the end of the bottle. It felt like the sort of bottle you could pick up at a cut-price outlet for £2.99. Those of us drinking it agreed, a £4.99 equivalent from say Aldi or Lidl would be much better and surely at £16.95 the restaurant could afford that slightly reduced profit-margin. It didn't spoil the meal though, which was top-notch.

    The mackerel starter was a little burnt and dry and not as well marinated as usual and the lamb in one of the dishes was a little tough but otherwise usual good standard

    Busy Nepalese restaurant with a lively atmosphere. Decor is bright with a welcome nod to Indian restaurant style of the 80s. Service is efficient and friendly. Food is exceptional, with all 6 dishes on our table very different-unlike many lower end Indian restaurants where most dishes seem to be produced from a single common base sauce. We have been coming here for years. Standards are consistently high.

    Previously We have been out as a big group to Kathmandu and the whole thing was great - slick - good food and great service led by a fantastic hostess but this time it was completely different. The service was really poor and the food quality poor also. Three different people brought us menus despite being told we were having a set menu and we continually had to repeat requests. The organisation was shocking and it seemed short staffed. I wouldn't rush back.

    We waited almost 2 hours to get seated. Service appalling. A group of seven people who hadn't booked got seated before us and served before us. Two of our party had to leave to catch their tram home without eating the main course as it was so slow to come out. The food was good but service was atrocious.
