Spiced salads tossed in mustard oil — aloo, bhatmas, sukuti
Sadeko is the Nepali technique of tossing cooked ingredients with mustard oil, onion, tomato, green chilli, coriander, lemon and spices — served cold as a snack or side. The most common versions are aloo sadeko (potato), bhatmas sadeko (roasted soybeans) and sukuti sadeko (dried meat), but almost anything can be made sadeko. It appears on nearly every Nepali restaurant appetiser menu in Australia.

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 Sadeko, 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.
Ask how Sadeko 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 Sydney 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.
