What to Order in Hobart

Hobart's Nepali restaurants tend to do a few things particularly well:

• Jhol momo — Sakri Crunch and Chulesi are both known for this. The broth is what sets it apart from regular steamed momo.
• Sekuwa — grilled marinated meat, available at most established restaurants. Try it at Mirmire or Kathmandu Cuisine.
• Dal bhat — the everyday Nepali meal. Everest Eatery and Himalayan Tandoor both serve solid versions.
• Chatpate — a spicy street snack. Chulo on Wheels in Launceston is a good place to try this.

Why Hobart's Nepali Food Scene Is Growing

Tasmania's Nepali community has grown steadily over the past decade, driven by migration, international students at the University of Tasmania and skilled workers in hospitality and agriculture. Restaurants have followed the community. Moonah and Derwent Park, in particular, have become small hubs for Nepali food on Hobart's northern fringe.

The quality is what stands out. A 4.9-star rating with 500+ reviews is not easy to maintain. Sakri Crunch and Chulesi have managed it, which says something about both the food and the local appetite for it.
