Gorkha Palace

If the saffron walls and Buddhist murals don’t give away the eastern influence of this family-run restaurant,the chilled-out vibe will. Service is genial and the menu flavour-packed,filled with authentic savoury gems. Thick,fresh Kathmandu-style lentil pancakes make a heart-warming start to the meal,followed by the ever-popular steamed momo dumplings,loved for their stretchy,bouncy pastry. For mains,savour the spices of an aromatic Gorkha lamb curry or tuck into a handsome chilli chicken with rich crimson sauce. For something more rambunctious,book a party in the cushion room upstairs. Also in Gladesville.
