Nepalese and Indian feast with curry, naan and tandoori dishes at Gorkhali Chulo

Gorkhali Chulo brings Nepalese and Indian cooking together in a Hillmorton dining room, giving guests more than the usual choice between a curry and rice. The breadth of the menu is the attraction: tandoor cooking, dumplings, slow-cooked meat dishes, noodles, breads and vegetarian curries can all share one table. Dine-in service is complemented by collection ordering, while the restaurant also caters for birthdays and corporate gatherings.

The Nepalese section is the clearest place to explore the restaurant's individual character. Momo come steamed, fried, immersed in jhol or finished in tandoori and chilli styles. Sekuwa marinates chicken or lamb with Nepalese herbs before serving it with crisp rice flakes and tomato chutney, while chhoila brings spiced grilled meat. Taas uses slowly cooked marinated meat, and diners can also choose goat curry, noodle-filled thukpa or a complete thali.

Indian favourites provide a second route through the menu. Tandoori chicken, prawns and kebabs arrive from the clay oven, with mixed platters making it easier for two people to sample several preparations. The curry list moves from creamy korma and spinach-based saagwala to tomato-and-capsicum tikka masala, sharp vindaloo, coriander-led kadai and coconut-rich Madras. Fish can take the form of a deeply aromatic Goan curry or a coconut-and-cashew Malabari preparation.

Vegetarian diners have a menu with real range rather than a single fallback. Chickpea chana masala, black-lentil dal makhani, yellow-lentil tarka daal, kadai paneer and vegetable curries cover different textures and levels of richness. Tandoor breads run from plain and garlic naan to stuffed keema, potato and Peshwari versions, and biryani offers vegetable and several meat choices. Gulab jamun, mango kulfi or chocolate naan can close a meal that readily shifts between the cuisines of Nepal and India.
