Craving Nepali Food in Adelaide? Here's Where to Go in 2026

Let's be honest about why you are reading this. You are not browsing. You are not researching. You are craving Nepali food, and you want to know where to get it in Adelaide right now.

That is a good place to start. Adelaide has 25 Nepali restaurants, which is more than most people expect for a city of its size. The scene is spread across the CBD, the inner southern suburbs and even regional SA. And the quality is solid — several restaurants hold Google ratings above 4.4.

So let's cut straight to it. What are you craving?

If You Are Craving Momo

Start at Momo Mates City in the Adelaide CBD. It has 929 Google reviews — the most of any Nepali restaurant in South Australia — and a 4.2-star average. The name tells you what they do. Momo in every style: steamed, fried, jhol and C-momo.

If the CBD is not convenient, try Bhoye Chhen in Edwardstown (4.6★, 448 reviews) or KUTUMBA LOUNGE in Unley (4.4★, 384 reviews). Both do excellent momo and are well-reviewed by locals.

If You Are Craving Dal Bhat

For a proper dal bhat or Thakali khana set, Taste of Nepal in Kensington is a strong choice. The 4.4-star rating over 384 reviews is consistent, and reviewers frequently mention the dal bhat and the Thakali set. Namaste Nepalese Restaurant in Parkside (4.6★, 66 reviews) is another good option for traditional meals.

If You Are Craving Sekuwa

Sekuwa Sansar in Morphettville literally has sekuwa in the name. The restaurant specialises in grilled marinated meat, and while the rating sits at 3.7 stars, the sekuwa itself gets positive mentions. If you specifically want grilled Nepali skewers, this is the most dedicated option in Adelaide.

If You Want to Try Newari Food

Bhoye Chhen in Edwardstown is your best bet. "Bhoye Chhen" translates to "feast house" in Newari, and the menu includes Newari specialties like choila, chatamari and bara alongside the standard momo and curry options. The 4.6-star rating with 448 reviews makes it one of Adelaide's top-rated Nepali restaurants.
