Nepali restaurants in Victoria
Melbourne's Nepali food lives in the west. Footscray, Sunshine and St Albans have long been the heartland, and the newer estates out at Tarneit and Point Cook now have their own momo locals.
The city does everything from weekend jhol momo to full Thakali sets and Newari feasts. It is second only to Sydney for choice, and closing the gap.
We have mapped 94 Nepali spots across Victoria, with the biggest clusters in Melbourne, Glenroy and Coburg.
