Sekuwa in Perth
Sekuwa is Nepali barbecue: chunks of lamb, chicken, pork or buff rubbed with spices and mustard oil, threaded onto skewers and grilled over flame until the edges char. In Nepal it is street food, eaten straight off the grill with beaten rice and raw onion. Here it lands as a starter, a bar snack, and the reason the table orders another round.
The good versions taste of the fire as much as the marinade. Order it with chiura and a wedge of lemon, and if the menu offers pork sekuwa, that is usually the kitchen showing off.

Lamb sekuwa
The most common cut in Australia. Charred outside, juicy inside.

Lighter, and it takes the marinade beautifully.
Pork sekuwa
Richer and smokier. Order it wherever you see it.

Frequently asked
What is sekuwa?
Nepali grilled meat: marinated chunks of lamb, chicken, pork or buff cooked on skewers over flame. Nepal's answer to barbecue.
Is sekuwa spicy?
Warm rather than fiery. The marinade brings spice and smoke, and the heat mostly comes from the achaar served alongside.
