AI image by LocalRankSingapore's Nepalese and Himalayan dining scene is small but rewarding, clustered mostly around Little India near Mustafa Centre with a few spots further out in Toa Payoh, MacPherson and Bukit Timah. This guide gathers eight restaurants and eateries where you can find Nepali staples such as momo dumplings, thukpa, sekuwa and dal-based meals. Several also serve North Indian food, which we have noted honestly. Treat it as a shortlist rather than a strict ranking, and confirm opening hours before you visit.
1. Gurkha Palace
Gurkha Palace is a long-standing Nepalese and North Indian restaurant on Chander Road in Little India, part of the cluster of Nepali eateries near Mustafa Centre. Business records place its opening in the early 2000s, and its kitchen is known among diners for steamed and chilli chicken momo, dal, and home-style curries such as butter chicken. The setting is casual and unfussy, with a menu that runs from Nepali snacks to familiar tandoori and gravy dishes, plus vegetarian options. The group also runs a stall at Changi Business Park.

2. Everest Kitchen
Everest Kitchen sits along Chander Road in Little India and leans into its Himalayan theme, with photographs of Nepal on the walls. The restaurant says it was started by a former British Gurkha, and alongside North Indian curries and naan it lists genuinely Nepali plates: chicken momo, and a Nepali khaja set with choila, sekuwa, achaar and beaten rice. It is a sit-down spot with indoor and alfresco seating, popular for group meals, and remains active on food-delivery platforms. It is also listed as New Everest Kitchen, so confirm opening hours before visiting.

3. Himalaya Kitchen
Himalaya Kitchen is a neighbourhood Nepalese and North Indian restaurant on MacPherson Road, a little away from the Little India cluster. Longtime diners single out its momo, and the kitchen also serves Nepali items such as choila and sekuwa alongside a broad Indian menu of tandoori, curries and freshly baked naan. The room is casual and the service is often described as warm and attentive. It is listed on major delivery apps, making it an option for both dine-in and takeaway when you are in the Geylang or MacPherson area.

4. Godhuli Sanjh
Godhuli Sanjh is a small Nepalese eatery on Syed Alwi Road, near Mustafa Centre in the Little India area. Among Singapore's Nepali restaurants it is frequently pointed to for leaning towards home-style Nepali cooking rather than a mainly North Indian menu, and diners recommend its momo and a sesame-dressed potato dish sometimes listed as a Gorkha-style chatni. Expect a simple, friendly, canteen-like setting rather than smart decor. It offers dine-in, takeaway and delivery, and suits a casual, inexpensive meal while exploring the Mustafa and Serangoon Road stretch.

5. Tims Restaurant & Cafe
Tims Restaurant & Cafe is a long-running heartland eatery in Toa Payoh that pairs Nepali cooking with Western comfort food. Media coverage traces it to a Nepali-Singaporean couple who opened it in the mid-2000s, and the menu sets momo, thukpa and other Nepali dishes beside steaks, ribs and seafood. The old-school room, with brick walls and warm lighting, has a cosy neighbourhood feel. It is an easygoing all-day option if you want Nepali flavours outside the Little India cluster, and it draws a steady local following.

6. Lomba The Gurkha Bistro
Lomba The Gurkha Bistro is a compact, family-run spot tucked inside Bukit Timah Shopping Centre, serving Gurkha and Nepali home cooking. Its menu highlights momo in vegetarian and chicken versions, thukpa noodle soup, and a jimbu-scented butter chicken, and the kitchen emphasises fresh, unfussy preparation. Because it is small and run by a tiny team, service is personal and the atmosphere relaxed; it opened around 2020. It closes on Mondays, so check the current days and hours before making the trip out to Upper Bukit Timah Road.

7. momo.sg
momo.sg is a stall in Tekka Centre in Little India that specialises in momo, the steamed Himalayan dumpling common to Nepali and Tibetan cooking. Its own description bills it as one of Singapore's first dedicated momo stalls, serving the dumplings with an achar-style dipping sauce. This is a hawker-stall experience rather than a sit-down restaurant, so it suits a quick, affordable plate of dumplings while you are in the Little India or Serangoon Road area. Check the operating days, as hawker stalls often keep their own schedule.

8. Amber Tandoor Restaurant
Amber Tandoor is a casual restaurant on Serangoon Road in Little India, beside the Broadway Hotel, serving a mix of North Indian and Nepali dishes. While much of the menu is tandoori and curry, it is widely mentioned by Singapore diners for its Nepali-style momo, served steamed or fried with a spicy Nepalese chutney, and for chicken sekuwa. It is an unpretentious, wallet-friendly spot open late, with delivery available. Treat it as an Indian restaurant with a strong momo following rather than a dedicated Nepalese kitchen, and order the Nepali items to sample that side.

How to choose
- Decide whether you want a dedicated Nepali kitchen or an Indian-Nepali crossover: some places here lead with North Indian curries and add a few Nepali dishes, while others lean more towards home-style Nepali cooking, so scan the menu for items like choila, sekuwa, thukpa and dal-based sets.
- Little India, especially the streets around Mustafa Centre, has the densest cluster of Nepalese eateries, which makes it easy to compare a few in one trip; head to Toa Payoh, MacPherson or Bukit Timah if you want options nearer home.
- For most people momo is the gateway dish; ask whether it is steamed or fried and what filling and chutney are used, since these vary noticeably between kitchens.
- Many of these are small, family-run spots with limited seating and their own rest days, so check current opening hours (and whether they close on a weekday) before travelling, and consider calling ahead for larger groups.
- Confirm dietary needs directly: vegetarian momo and dishes are common, but ask about spice levels, and about halal status or specific ingredients if that matters to you, rather than assuming.
- Prices and menus change, so treat online listings as a guide and check the latest with the restaurant; several outlets also appear on delivery apps if you would rather try the food at home first.
