Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the most popular Nepalese dishes?

    Popular Nepalese dishes include momos, dal bhat, Gorkhali lamb, and sel roti. Momos are dumplings, dal bhat is lentil soup with rice, Gorkhali lamb is a spicy dish, and sel roti is a deep-fried rice bread. 


    These meals highlight Nepal’s bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and cultural diversity.

  • What makes Tibetan cuisine different from Nepalese food?

    Tibetan cuisine is influenced by its high-altitude climate, using simple ingredients like tsampa, yak butter tea, and thukpa. Nepalese cuisine has more spice variety, incorporating lentils, vegetables, and meats. 


    While Tibetan food is milder and hearty, Nepalese dishes blend bold flavors with aromatic spices, offering a wider culinary range.

  • Is Nepalese food spicy?

    Nepalese food can be mild or spicy, depending on the dish. Common spices include cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili. 


    While dal bhat and momos are milder, dishes like Goruko Masu and chicken chili offer a spicy kick. Many restaurants allow customers to adjust spice levels based on preference.

  • What are some common dietary options in Nepalese cuisine?

    Nepalese cuisine offers vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Dal bhat, vegetable curries, and aloo tama are vegetarian-friendly. Rice, lentils, and chickpea flour replace wheat in many dishes. 


    Vegan choices exclude ghee or dairy, while gluten-free diners can enjoy rice-based meals. Always confirm dietary needs when ordering.
