Loved the goat curry and the chicken curry! Definitely recommend this place for a good meal with a bit of difference :)
I can't recommend this gorgeous little restaurant highly enough. I love everything about Himali Gurkha, the very kind and generous owner Eskna, the sweet waitresses, divine food, and the ambience, Magnificent - such a warm, peaceful and loving vibe, I could have sat there for hours... can't wait until my next visit. �
Great food and experience. Friendly staff and welcoming decor. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.
My boyfriend and I love this restaurant. Absolutely delicious food and great service. Always the first place we think of when going out or getting take away. The beef choyla is a must.
Best of the best
This restaurant has the best quality in Perth
I hv been many other restaurants but these guys are the best in quality and service
Booked a table in advance...and lucky we did. Walked in, saw that the place was packed to the rafters, and people were constantly popping in and out for take away orders. So we knew the food must be good. And it was....absolutely delicious.
Food here is amazing - always just so tasty and excellent ... we just keep coming back! Xx
My wife and I love this place. Every dish we have tried is amazing and the crew are delightful. Thanks Himali Gurkha
We had our beloved daughter's 21st Birthday celebration and we were so well taken care of by Ozgur and Krishna. The food was amazing & has converted a few Nepalese newbies �
My husband and I love this restaurant! The food is delicious, the service is excellent. The staff are very friendly. We have been comming for many years now, and not once has the standard dropped.
I love this place. Great food, lovely staff
Amazing food especially the thali. Would definitely go again.

Excellent food and service- will definitely return!
Delicious Authentic Nepalese food , and great service great value
We eat here regularly the food is fantastic and the service even better, some of the nicest people you will ever meet.
I love this place.. The quality of the food and service is superb. Thank you for the awesome experience. Will definitely be back for more.
Very fresh and well prepared food consistently. Great lunch curry combo.
Staff are very friendly and informative. They have pride in their food.
Always outstanding food here, great service, lovely place. If I had to pick anything that isn't literally perfect is the chairs could be comfier haha. literally my fave place in perth to eat since I was maybe 10 years old.
It was a really busy Friday night, the whole restaurant was full but we managed to get a table. Ordered half fried half steamed momos, eggplant curry and chicken curry. Everything was so tasty! The fried momos were my favourite amongst all the dishes and the eggplant curry was a close second! Chicken curry was good but not outstanding

This is our first time trying Himalayan/Nepalese food and I'm in love thanks to Himali Gurkha! We ordered the Momos (half fried and half steamed), the Chef's special Himali Chicken, the Daal Ra Saag (Lentil Spinach curry) and the rice and Puri (soft bread).
The decor and atmosphere of the restaurant was outstanding, it was very nice and tranquil with beautiful and fitting designs and decorations that made the experience even better. The waitstaff were extremely helpful and friendly when giving us information and helping us decide which dishes to order.
The momo's were the best, the fried ones were perfectly crisp without being oily and the sauce that came with it was very special too. The Himali chicken was so tender and juicy and lentil spinach curry was very delicious and not too heavy in terms of flavour and spices. The soft warm bread and rice were also cooked to perfection.
Overall, a great experience and would definitely come back! The price is very reasonable too for a unique experience
Came here for the first time for my birthday lunch. Food was surprisingly good as this was my first time trying Nepalese food. Ordered their mild lamb curry, eggplants, deep fried okra (wouldn’t recommend this as it was a bit spicy and not that tasty), Momo (dumplings) and Puri (Deep fried soft flour bread). Portion looked small but it was more than enough for the three of us. Food was tasty and heartwarming. Recommend to have their food during winter. The ambience and decor was nice as though you were in Nepal as soon as you entered the restaurant. The price was okay as we used the entertainment book discount.
Delicious Nepalese fare.
What I loved - the spicy beef curry and tandoori style chicken.
What I thought was good - eggplant curry, chicken momos
What I might not order again - Lamb curry with spinach (couldn't taste the spinach really, the taste was not distinctly different from other curries we ordered)
Very interesting food, really enjoyed all the flavours even when a little spicey for me. Highly recommend both the fried and steamed Momo, you can definitely taste that they are homemade. The Puri bread could be a main meal dish on its own, it's that delicious! Lamb was very soft, chicken was cooked very well and the desserts were very yum. Even the complimentary nuts were interesting. It gets pricey if you order the large of a few dishes but then there's plenty of leftovers for the next day.
The restaurant can handle approx 40 people but it's a popular place so make sure you book a table.
The food here is fantastic. Recommend the banquet option to try everything. The lamb cutlets, goat curry and dahl with spinach are especially good.
We visited for the first time on Saturday night and we were very pleased with our meals. We had the thali which was great value with the refillable curries. The marinaded lamb and chicken are delicious as was the beef curry; really tender meat and a tasty sauce. The Puri was also good as were the chicken dumplings. The servos was efficient and friendly. Overall a brilliant meal: we will be back
We love the Himalayan Gherkin. The set meal is outstanding value and gives a really great taste of everything this cute little restaurant does. The naan here is spectacular, fresh and so very tasty. I love the naan. Staff are great. Dumplings are a winner. Highly Recommended!
Very good dumplings! A nice spin on favourites you may find at Indian restaurants. Good portion sizes and Entertainment Book friendly.

This is an awesome place, great food, great service! Recommend the Thali as value for money. The lamb cutlets for meat eaters are excellent. The vegetarian options are yummo! Been going there for years and never had a bad meal or experience! 👍👍
Loved the food, authentic, fresh and i didnt feel like i was breaking the bank to have a good meal. I was also just stopping in for lunch and found myself dining alone, the staff were friendly, welcoming and made sure i didnt feel uncomfortable being the loner.
Ill be coming again for sure!
Really sweet little place. The food was simple, traditional and tasty. The chef definitely knows his stuff. Great starters, mains and desserts - lovely goat curry and baklava. Really kind, considerate and prompt service.
Tasty, authentic food and charming, homely atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful, even when they had to kick us out at closing time because we were having such a great time we didn't notice how late it was! Entertainment card meant we spent about $30 each for a combination plate that we could restock as much as we liked. Will certainly come back here again.
A very pleasant dining experience overall. It's one of only a few places open on a Monday night, and perhaps that's why it already had several tables seated only 15mins after the 6:00pm opening time. By the time we left at 7:15pm, I counted 17 patrons, including my wife and I. The service from the two ladies was both friendly and helpful. The food was quick to arrive, and was very tasty. We had the chicken momo, hot beef curry, seasonal vegetables, lentil dahl, and plain rice, and every dish was tasty, fresh and served hot. The mango lassie was on the bland side, and could have done with more mango in it, but otherwise, good value for money, and we are certainly keen to return to try out other items from the menu
Haven't been here for so long, but the cheeseballs are still as good as ever...which I was thankful for as I had raved about them to my work mates I was going with all week prior. With our table of 9 we started with a large cheeseballs just so they could try them. They loved them! Then we all had the meat thali plate...great value and heaps easier for a big group! The thali doesn't come with cheeseballs, just order them as well...trust me!!
Must try the himali gurkha beef!! It comes in cute little steel bowl, like rendang style... But packed with tones of flavour :D my kids like the dumpling momo and the lollipop chicken... Most of the menu is spicy, but they have kids menu like bbq/grilled chicken or fish n chips.. This restaurant is usually fully booked on the weekends, be sure to book early or dine on weekdays...
Went with friends on a wednesday night. So busy! Small restaurant. Staff friendly. Had thali, which is a mixed platter which can be filled again and again- bit like a tasting plate. Food was to die for. Byo wine. Boys had few beers and the total was $176.
Best Nepalese food in Perth. The best momo, chicken lolly pop, good service and we r always been looked after very well.
Not to forget gulab jamun
Amazing Food, but there's a wait when busy. I've eaten here a few times now and the food has always blown me away. Except the fish curry, it was bland and definitely won't be ordering that again. But I always try something new and 90% of the time, spot on. The wait for food can be long if it's crowded, not sure if the kitchen if big enough for how many tables they cram in. The service is good and we are always treated very well, even when we had to wait for a table. Highly recommend and will be back again soon!

Excellent food, top class service and very comfortable environment. Nut allergy friendly too!!!. A group of 9 of us came here to celebrate our friend's birthday. The waitress was extremely friendly and polite, catered to all our needs. Food came out really quickly (20 mins) despite 9 big orders of mostly the Set Menu.
And wow, what a treat it was. All sides were perfectly tasty, not too salty or spicy but very aromatic. Loved the Momos and we all liked how they weren't reluctant to refill our sides and even Momos. When they say it's refillable, it really is. They don't take half an hour to bring out your sides to save themselves money, they actually want their customers to eat and enjoy their food! The waitress came around every 10 minutes or so asking if we wanted any more sides and she took orders like that to ensure no-one was left out. Oh... and the Momos were refillable too!!!! I really liked the curry vegetables and the chicken curry. The puri (fried bread) was delicious and fresh, just perfect with the daal. 25% entertainment voucher makes the dinner even more enjoyable.
All in all, all 9 of us agreed we'd definitely come back even without the 25% voucher. The owner even gave the birthday boy a special Nepalese hat and a free cocktail to celebrate. Also, as I'm allergic to all nuts, I didn't have a problem with any of their dishes! Just magnificent and my hat goes off to the owners of this fine restaurant.
A wonderful meal. What a great little neighbourhood restaurant tucked away in Ardross! My husband and I ordered take-away from Himali Gurkha and enjoyed every dish. The rice balls were cooked to perfection, the beef curry was lean and tender and perfectly balanced, the bread was delicious and the vegetable curry was delicious. This was our second experience eating the food from this little restaurant and we will definitely return.
Fantastic Food and service.. Will be back soon
A Lovely Experience. I had dinner here last night with a few lady friends. The service was friendly, the food came out in a timely fashion, and it was all delicious -- very reasonably priced too.
Happy Diner!. Went there last night, there was 8 of us. They fitted us in which was great due to our late booking. Food was great & the staff were friendly. The service was excellent. We will be back for sure!
What a great experience! Booked a table of 9 for my wife's birthday. From the very start - the service was exceptional (even though it was busy). The food was also exceptionally good. We will be back for sure - recommend it highly. Great work Himali Gurkha.
Went here last minute on a Friday night and they managed to fit us in. Restaurant looked fully booked and the staff were friendly and happy. We order veggie momo's, beeh himali Ghurka and the lamb cutlets.. sorry can't spell the Nepalese version :). All food came out quickly dispite how busy they were. I'm particularly a fan of the lamb cutlets, so flavoursome the Sweetlips will be back again and will bring some friends.
Me and my husband are regular customers. Tonight we were here again our food came out late but we thoroughly enjoyed it and our food was great as usual! I commend the manager and the staff for coping with extreme pressure and some unhappy and very rudecustomers who were trying to provoke other customers to complain! The food and service is definitely worth coming back for :)
Very Enjoyable. We went here with friends a couple of Saturdays ago for the first time in a long time. We shared a mixture of dishes we selected from the menu and didn't find one that wasn't tasty. The service was good, we stayed until stumps and the prices were extremely good for Perth. We will be back.

Go there for the veggie thali!. Totally love this place, especially their amazing veggie thali. For ~$30 you get a huge plate with mini silver dishes on it, stuffed with interesting tasty dishes. They're all great but you get the added bonus of free refills of your favourites. Yup, free refills. Also included is a great little rice pudding to finish your meal. Totally recommended.
Delicious!. Himali Gurkha is one of my favourites places to eat in the Applecross Restaurant hub. The flavours from each dish are unique and make my mouth water just thinking about it right now. Had the chicken and vegetable dumplings to start. This was followed by the Beef, King Prawns, Mixed Vegetables and rice. Sometimes when I have Indian food I can feel bloated after, however with this Nepalese cuisine I feel fine after. Looking forward to going back in the next couple of weeks. A great place for a first date. Until next time ... 8.5/10
What a great place. I went for a midweek birthday meal and the whole experience was just brilliant. We were made to feel very welcome, the food was fantastic and the atmosphere was wonderful. I almost forgot where I was while eating here, you just sort of drift into the ambiance. I can't say enough about Himali Gurkha and the wonderful people who work there.
Yummy. Our first time dinner was really nice we had the 36.00 banquet which by the way included topups as you please..
Great value, yummy food and pleasant service..would go back again.
ALWAYS GREAT. Nice little place hidden away in applecross. the people in here are so friendly! it was almost 10 oclock and they let my gf and i in, the chef personally came out and let us know what was still available to cook! such a great experience, to think he would still cook for us, especially when most places are closed by 9! have been here countless times now and never disappointed!
DELICIOUS. Delicious, fresh food, great menu, reasonable prices, fantastic service ALWAYS with a smile. Highly recommended
Love it. I have been twice in the past week, plus once before for takeaway. Most things I have had are really good.
The momos are a must have. I prefer the meat but vegetable is good too. We had a beef curry which was average, most of the vegetarian dishes are great though. The eggplant is the best.
This place is definitely worth a try.
Too long between visits. I returned here recently after not eating here for many years...the service and food was just as good as I remember. Will definitely be back sooner next time.
Fantastic + Friendly. Came here last week with my vegetarian friend, we decided to get a mixed platter ($30 each) which had rice, 2 dumplings and 5 curries plus a rice pudding dessert. All were delicious and had different flavours and textures. There was free re-fills of all the curries but to be honest we were too full after the first lot. I would recommend the platter when there are only 2-3 people dining. If more than it may be easier to order a number of dishes from the menu to share. Definitely the best Nepalese I've had in Perth.
Good, interesting food!. Interesting food, excellent service and good value - really enjoyed it!
OUTSTANDING.. This has got to be the best food i have had in perth ever.
with out a dout this will not please all people but the food will.
dont be fooled by the size of the place and by the decore.
If you have not tried this then you are in for a treat, with all the flavors from napal and out standing.
left me wanting more and YES i had more.
GOAT was out standing and a first for my Girlfriend and we both loved it, will with out a dout be going there once.....twice okay most weekends now for a night out.
(must have CHICKEN MOMO'S)
thank you so much
New favourite?. Good service. Great food. Had the Thali plate which was fantastic. Restaurant is byo so take a bottle of wine. As someone else said, very busy restaurant so not that quiet and intimate. Will definitely be back.

Great food, crap service. So as with most of the previous reviews I say that the service is shoddy but the food more than makes up for it.
We had a table of 8, we all got the thali (set menu tasting plate). We also ordered 2 large servings of momo's but the waiter said 'You westerners always order too much' and only agreed to bring out one plate. Um slight racism aside, we finished all our food off and could definitely have done with the 2nd plate of momos. (I guess they have never heard of the italian way of life, which is eating a 2 plate minimum but I'll ignore this). Also flagging down a waiter for drinks is impossible. They scuttle between tables deliberately not making eye contact so you can't get their attention.
But the food, oh the food! TRY THE MOMO's! That is all. The thali plate was great, the beef curry was to die for. The vegetables were the tastiest I've ever tried. And the bread, the oily-crisp-yet-soft bread was perfect.
I'll definitely be back, for the food, not the service. Try not to get served by the male waiter, the females were fine, but the guy was the one with the attitude.
Excellent meals, great waiters. I love the momos and cheese balls. Deserts are authentic, but not to my taste.

Loved the food - can't wait to go again. On a quite, rainy Tuesday night we were origionally planning on having dinner in the italian restuarant across the road, but they had a function on so we found ourselves in Himali Gurkha - and thank god we did!
We just loved the food, its a beautiful mix of indian and asian flavours, without the greasy, slightly guilty feeling that comes from eating either of those cuisines.
The mix of spices and textures is fabulous and the menu is so extensive that we will be going back time and time again without having the same thing twice. The Momo's were a real highlight and the goat and rice was fab.
The restaurant itself is very small and cosy. The service - well as people have mentioned before, the service is a little on the lacking side I have to admit. But that doesn't bother me at all - I have had fabulous service before with very mediocre food - so give me mediocre service and fab food any day! Can't eat good service can you!
We are so happy that Italian restaurant was not taking customers that night, because it led us to our new favourite restaurant :)
Nice place to try. Ate here last night with a friend and I must say service was quick, food came out quick and all that was on my plate was very tastey. We choose the $36 tasting plate which included refills of everything but bbq. It was my first time eating this style food so to me I could only compare it to indian food without the extra sprices and cream/butter - which is a good thing! Only downside was the rice pudding at the end was less then average which was included in the deal. In summary worth the visit, food was clean the highlights for me was the roasted potatos - joy!

Ordered takeaway from here last night for four of us. The restaurant was packed when we collected our order and with good reason, the food is delicious. Lots of fresh spices are used in all the dishes and the flavours are amazing. Love this place and will book a table again soon.

Give it a go. Went here Saturday night with another couple who highly rate this restaurant. With the gold card, would have to agree that for the price, the meal is highly satisfactory.
A tiny place in the precinct at the end of the road (past Garden City), it was really busy and apparently usually is. We chose the tasting plate, that at $36 is very good value. Each portion (curry, lentils, momo's - tiny pork dumplings which can be either steamed or fried) is able to be refilled for free. With rice a skewer (the choice of beef, chicken or lamb is available) the taste is similar to that of Indian food but it packs a milder punch.
Dessert is also offered but all 4 of us were too stuffed to fit in another bite.
Service was prompt and efficient. With BYO on wine on offer, this place is a winner. Not somewhere I would frequent often, but would def. recommend it for a novelty factor and something different.
Made a booking for 2 for dinner around 7 and when we arrivedins they gave our table away and we were only 3 mins late. Poor service! They were also super busy and didn't take our order until very late. Other than that i love the food. It's lighter than Indian food as well. Would recommend the Lassis they were too milky and tasted weird. Def have had better lassis. Despite the service te food is very yummy, hence they r always full. So I highly recommend this place
Really tasty food. Nice and spicy but not overpowering. Try the goat curry with puri bread- excellent. Was packed on Friday night. Reservations are a good idea. Cashier could smile a bit.
Fresh and well priced. Tasty, fresh and not too expensive. A local favourite
The photos of the Nepalese royal family have long since disappeared from the walls, but the food is as great as ever. We've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. If the menu seems overwhelming, try the thali (mixed plate) to sample a wide range of flavours.
Been around 4 > 10 years. Avg food. Try once.
Excellent food and service was so good so respectful and environment was awesome. It was calm and peaceful. Price for dishes and everything was good. Loved it. Highly recommended Nepalese restaurants so far
Excellent taste, authentic Nepalese place. Went there with a group of friends. The chicken was soft and tender, tatsed yummy with puri.
We popped in for a lunch and enjoyed the set lunch menu with momos, curry, and BBQ with rice and vegetables.
This was an excellent meal, and I had the lamb curry. Big, tender chunks of lamb with a delicious aromatic gravy. Not spicy hot, but SO good. My wife enjoyed the goat curry too.
We live 90 minutes away, but guaranteed we'll be back to select of their diverse menu.
Warm, friendly staff and amazing chefs! 5/5 would highly recommend!!
Really nice place for some Nepalese food. Definitely somewhere to go when you just need something quick but not through the roof in bills. Delicious and will be coming here for the next 40 years! 🤗
Our dinner was amazing! We didn't know what authentic Nepalese food tastes like but since our Nepalese friends brought us there, it must be pretty close to the real deal. We had a great time and the staff were very friendly in helping us accommodate our kids as well.
Came here on a recommendation from a friend and it was fantastic!! We were seated right away on a busy Sat without reservation. The set dinner menu had a great diversity of dishes and flavors. The momos and bbq chicken were so good. Loved it and would definitely recommend.
I love this place! You can tell by the regulars who have banter with the lovely owners that it is a firm favourite! The kids menu was fantastic! Lollipop chicken for the win...I may order that for myself :) really amazing service great place to meet friends!
Outstanding and friendly service ,great food selections. Taste of authenticity in every dish. Definitely worth it!
