What’s not? It took a little while to get served drinks on previous visits — though on this occasion it all went like clockwork.
Vibe: Warm; all deep reds and dark woods. The walls are adorned with prints of Nepalese scenes like mountain vistas, pack-laden mules and farmers working the fields, and the service was friendly and efficient.
Who’s picking up the check? The (hefty) main meals were around €18, naans €5 and a dish of dal about €13. Get all of that and you’ll be full for days — you’d be perfectly well-fed with a main each and sharing rice and naan. Not cheap, but not bad given the bougie location and the lack of competition for good curry restaurants in town.
Spotted: A rather sad-looking, perennially empty “Indian soul food” restaurant just across the road.
Insider tip: The faintly orange Nepalese beer is off the chain delicious.
Fun fact: Nepal is one of only three countries in the world to have a nonrectangular flag. The other two are Switzerland and Vatican City, both of which have square flags. (And worse food.)
How to get there: Step off the tram or bus at Vleurgat on Avenue Louise and you’re meters away.
