Kathmandu Kitchen

Those who fancy the cuisine of Nepal whilst in Reading can leave their backpack and hiking boots at home, as Kathmandu Kitchen has come to the rescue. This comfortable, laid-back restaurant, featuring photos and artefacts from the homeland on the walls, leads both confirmed cravers and newbies on a culinary journey through Nepalese and Indian specialties. Favourites include traditional Nepalese noodle dishes and Kathmandu momo (minced lamb wrapped in pastry, served with Kathmandu pickle). Vegetarians and vegans are particularly well-catered for here, and the Kathmandu Kitchen also holds a ceoliac certificate. With a combination of nearly twenty wines under the £20 mark and well-priced, hearty dishes, Kathmandu Kitchen is also kind to your pocket.
