Most Indian restaurants around Balwyn don’t cook Nepalese food. At Avatar, our head chef Laxman Sapkota brings the dishes of Nepal to the same menu as our Indian classics, so you can share a plate of momo before your butter chicken.
Nepalese cooking is lighter and fresher than many North Indian curries, built on ginger, garlic, tomato chutneys and Himalayan spices. Read how Indian and Nepalese food differ.
