About Kheer

Kheer is rice slow-cooked in milk with sugar, cardamom, cashews and raisins until thick and fragrant โ€” Nepal's everyday dessert and a required dish at pujas, birthdays and Shrawan fasting days (kheer khane din). Served warm or chilled, it is the gentle sweet that ends most Nepali set meals. Restaurants in Australia list it simply as kheer or rice pudding.

Finding Kheer in Perth

Use the restaurant listings above to compare locations, menus, opening hours and contact options before travelling. A listing indicates that the business is associated with Kheer, but recipes, portion sizes, fillings, spice levels and daily availability can differ. Contact the restaurant directly if you need vegetarian, vegan, halal or allergy-related information, and confirm whether the dish is available for dine-in, takeaway or delivery on the day you plan to order.

What to ask before ordering

Ask how Kheer is prepared, what accompaniments are included, and whether advance ordering is recommended for groups. Prices and menus can change, so treat directory details as a discovery guide rather than a guaranteed current menu. You can also browse all Nepali restaurants in Perth or compare other Nepali dishes.

For catering or a large takeaway order, provide the number of guests and required collection or delivery time. Confirm quantities, packaging, reheating instructions, dietary labels and the final price in writing. This is especially useful when ordering several dishes for a shared meal or community event.
