Annapurna Nepalese Restaurant in Shepway

Literally the best and so cheap

Fantastic food and very reasonably priced, lovely friendly smiley service, have never seen so many vegan dishes in any restaurant before, I love that I was asked how spicy/hot i would like my food. And to top all that they sell a great Melbec 🍷. So will definitely be going back. Thank you.

Had a business meeting here either a group of 9 local businesses, different to your usual curry house, fantastic service, wonderful fresh dishes and we will be back in the near future. Very reasonably priced too. We have to say loved the translation of “least recommended” in fact it made us order and was delicious. Apologies our photos are not to the usual standard.

Brilliant service, knowledgeable fantastic staff. Great atmosphere and a brilliant night. Thank you so much. Food was out of this world, highly recommend. xx

Very tasty Nepalese food, one of my favourite restaurants in Folkestone.

Excellent authentic food and very friendly staff. Definitely get the thali set!

Fantastic food and even better service! The owner and his team gave us great recommendations and the food was absolutely delicious. We’ll be back the next time we’re in Folkestone!

Excellent food. Excellent staff. Excellent prices. Would highly recommend. We travelled from Canterbury to find good Nepalese food, and we weren't disappointed!

Were made to feel very welcome with great service and excellent food. Wide selection of traditional Nepalese cuisine.

I've travelled across Nepal and this is food really brought back some great memories, it is EXERLENT and very very delicious and typical of the food you get in Nepal itself... Felt like I was back in Kathmandu. You must must try the Momo, as good as any I had in Nepal.

Excellent vegan thali that comes with a wide range of different interesting and tasty dishes, and at a good price. The vegan paanipuri was great too. Very friendly staff. The restaurant itself is quite lofi but in a way I find charming and welcoming. My second time visiting after loving it last time I was in Folkestone two years ago and I'll definitely be back again.

Fantastic food, served by the loveliest people.

We were s group of 5 adults. Booking was easy and our table was ready for us when we got there. The staff were welcoming and helpful as some of us hadn't eaten there before. The food arrived quickly and hot. Amazing. If i had room I would have seconds.

First time for us tonight group of 5. The food was really great, fresh, hot and they cater for all spice level requirements. Service very good. And just wasn't expensive, £85 for a group of 5. Considering what we had, that's very good. Recommended.

Not very nice for a family of 7 to turn up on Boxing Day to find a note in the window saying the restaurant will be closed for several days when a booking had been made over a month in advance! There was no contact to inform us. Very unprofessional and disappointing.

From the outside it may not look like much, but the food served from this restaurant is spot on. Cooked to a spice of your choice, everything is presented very well & tastes amazing! The team here are welcoming & appreciative of your custom. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great fusion of Nepalese, Indian street food and Chinese food.

Outstanding food, strongly recommended

Just had a lovely meal there, table for 5 , it’s my favourite restaurant and as usual the food was amazing, staff so friendly and so reasonable, thank you will be back soon

Friendly service and good quality authentic food.

A more traditional Nepalese restaurant you won’t find locally. We were seated quickly and given our menus and some time to choose our drinks. Then the important part, choosing the food. We chose momos for starters and were told there would be a 20 minute wait as they were freshly prepared. It was just under 20 minutes and the wait was so worth it, absolutely delicious! We all followed this with a traditional Nepalese curry, be it lamb, pork or chicken. Again there was no disappointment, the taste was amazing. We all had a fantastic evening and will be going again. Thanks to the owner and his staff 🙏🏼

Perfect once again!! Went as a couple and the food did not disappoint again!! Food portions were perfect for us, we were quite hungry before we arrived. Our waiter Rosit was also brilliant and treated us with respect .

We visited Annapurna once again and the quality of food was amazing as usual. The wait time was perfect and the food portion was absolutely brilliant for us. Our waiter Nubasha was so kind to us both. We will definitely visit again some time soon!!

There is not much to say really other than the food is fantastic, the service is good and the staff are helpful in guiding you through the menu. Well worth a visit.

First time I’ve tried Nepalese food, and I’ve really enjoyed it. Lovely food and friendly atmosphere. Definitely coming back again.

We hadn't had Nepalese food before, so we can't compare, but we loved it here

The decor is not what I am used to but the food was amazing, service was excellent and a nice cold bottle of Gurkha beer. I opted for 7/10 spice level which was perfect for me but if you like some real heat, you’ll probably need an 8 or 9.

Fantastic food! Had the Lamb Thali, amazing portion sizes for the price. Our waiter Rajat was brilliant, great service and great food! Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Great food! Lots of vegan options and the food was delicious. Good portions and great value for money. My partner had some meat dishes and loved it too. Really recommend this place.

It's a couple of weeks since our visit I have waited until now to review as if I'd done it immediately it would have been a lot harsher. I had booked and assumed there would be a table ready or a very short wait. I gave my name and was asked to wait, the couple in front of us hadn't booked and were lead off after a few mins. Eventually someone else came and asked if we'd booked! I said yes and gave my name again, we were lead through the restaurant and garden area to what was a glorified outbuilding, we've eaten here previously but always in the main restaurant, it was awful, no atmosphere at all, I kept my jacket on all evening as it wasn't very warm. As for the service and food I was shocked at how different it was to previous visits. Drinks orders taken promptly but a long wait for them to arrive, when we asked later on for more drinks they took so long we had to ask if we'd been forgotten, another 10 mins and they finally turned up. The menu seems to have changed, new things added and others removed, not a problem. What the main issue was 2 of our party ordered lamb curry which was inedible, chewy and fatty, I did try a piece myself and it was truly bad. The pieces of meat were cubed and looked as if they'd come in a bag from Iceland! We didn't receive our starters together, as a result some of us had finished before one of our group got his. I was so disappointed as one of our group hadn't been before and we'd said how great the restaurant was. Unfortunately we have probably paid our last visit, the food along with being stuck in an outhouse lead to a very disappointing evening.

This restaurant is superb. The food was delicious and good value for money. The staff were friendly and attentive. We booked this restaurant based on the excellent reviews and we were not disappointed. Highly recommend.

Brilliant service from the staff here, very friendly, food was excellent as usual!! - name of staff - Rosit Limbu

Amazing service as usual from the staff here, very kind and was a pleasure to be served from them!! staff name - Nubasha subba

Five star :) and I could actually end here, but I will add a few details. each dish is a feast for both the eyes and the body! We ate here for the second time and will return at the next opportunity. Taste, service, prices! and once again the taste! Good draft beer and a simple Malbec for £22... what more do you need to be happy... I know, more free time to enjoy this place... Delicious.... Only one photo:( Normally would do a few, but couldn't resist to start eat. When I wanted to take a photo was too late as all the food was gone:) And very important. If someone gave this place one or two stars, it's either not their cuisine or they're just a snob.

First time visit. The service was superb, very friendly and informative about the menu. That said we didn’t order the best choices for the mains, particularly for one vegetarian guest, but the starters were superb, two mixed plates. Would go again to try other things. It’s authentic and was busy which is good to see

Delicious food at very reasonable prices

Great curries and enjoyable food all round. Quick, friendly service too.

I hadn't tried momos before moving to Folkestone, but I'm obsessed with the chilli momos, Annapurna has been a favourite restaurant for the 3 years since we were recommended the place by friends. In that time, the food has been consistently fantastic. The restaurant it's self has an extremely charming family run vibe. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I've been to large parties in the restaurant and recently put in a large food order to cater for a 30th birthday party, the food is good value for money anyway, but when catering for large groups, the value is unbelievable. For both dining in and taking away, this is a phenomenal place, and I feel lucky to have this restaurant in Folkestone

Annapurna catered a birthday party for us and the spread was STUNNING. Food is top tier + great value

Nothing ever stops me dancing - that’s until I tried an Annapurna Nepalese Restaurant takeaway! KaBoom!!! 5 Star Nom.

The best food! Veggie options to die for! The kindest service!

Best food ever. I loved it. It was amazing. Deviously spicy in the best way possible. I would eat every day if I could

This place is just amazing. The food is incredible and the staff are just lovely. It’s our absolute favourite and I can’t recommend it enough

definitely not for the healthy eaters unfriendly manager or whatever the mature guy was, not sure why the drinks are added in a separate bill anything to do with tax?! overall not the best experience

The most incredible meal….so much food, great atmosphere and a wonderful price. 100% recommend for a fabulous meal. Loved it!!! Will travel from Belgium for this food again and again!!!

Fantastic food, lots of vegetarian food options and great atmosphere! Possibly some of the nicest food I've eaten would definitely recommend *****

What a lovely experience! We asked for recommendations because we were all at sea with the menu and the food did not disappoint. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the friendly efficient approach from the staff. We'll be back.

Excellent food, excellent service, really friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant

WOW!! We've been frequenting Annapurna for a while now and have always enjoyed it! For our wedding we asked Tej to create a lovely varied menu for our eclectic guests. It was, amazing, delicious, and complimented by the guest through out the day. How incredible!!...

The food is fantastic in this family-run restaurant. We have been here several times and the standard is always high -from the chilli momos which are an absolute must-have - to the great range of curries and chow meins. LOVE this place, don’t miss it!

We didn't have a booking but the fitted 9 of us in at very short notice. Excellent & friendly service Food was superb, the best curry I've ever had Would strongly recommend

Great services, a good variety of momos nice and spicy 👍🏿 would highly recommend. Has always welcomed large groups and good value for money.

Food was amazing, service was great, all round a really good place. Brilliant Momos, really good selection

Have reviewed before but this is really a great local resterant family run a bit eccentric allways full of Gurkhas and I assume pretty authentic food which is a hybrid Indian chinese spicy don’t expect Chicken tikka ect

Top notch food and amazing staff. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The service was fast and food came out great. We had prawn and beef starters followed by chicken and pork curry with potato filled bread. One of the best curries we ever...

Fabulous food and so much to choose from. There were meat eaters, veggies and vegans to cater for and the menu did not disappoint. Fabulous service and a check in from the owner too. Will definitely be back!

Had a great evening with our friends. The food is top notch. There were eight of us and everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. We liked the fact we could choose the spice element for each dish on a 1-10 scale, this really suited our...

Great food, and good atmosphere, family friendly, and party friendly. Parking right outside too. Would recommend. :)

Amazing food. Friendly atmosphere. Definitely coming back in the future for a repeat performance...

Thukpa soup was lovely and lively. Will not disappoint. Nepalese flavours with a light touch. My goto restaurant.

The food is excellent! The absolutely nail the correct amounts of spice and seasoning. Service is quick, and good quality once you've ordered. We were with a table of 8 with a Stag Do, and everyone ordered something different. Everyone was exceptionally happy with the...

The best place to eat. Great service, great restaurant. You have to come and eat. Five stars. If you don't come here you will regret it!!!

Amazing food and amazing staff. I have never tasted food so different and tasty in my life. Staff were very attentive and great report.

It was DELICIOUS! A very good surprise! People were nice, we ate late... and it was open!... And food was very good!

Delicious as usual, great friendly service and always willing to go the extra mile. Always look forward to a revisit!

11/10. Always a delicious meal here. All the staff are so lovely and made my birthday extra special. Hot tasty food and plenty of it and always come away feeling very happy and satisfied and usually with a little take away bag too as the...

Fantastic authentic Nepalese food and very accomodating staff. Our absolute favourite restaurant. Will be back again and again

A must visit if you crave some authentic Nepalese flavors. Over the past year, I have become a regular at Tej dai's restaurant, and I am constantly captivated by the delectable dishes and exceptional hospitality offered here. As a vegetarian, I am particularly impressed by...

Absolutely delicious food. A jewel hidden just off the seafront in Folkestone. Not pretentious, nor expensive. Generous, warm staff

Been here more tha 10 times. Normally good value and great tasting food, however service could be more hospitable and actually welcome guests. Lamb curry always come with just 2 or 3 pieces of meat? Also for the sekuwa the portion for £9 is really...

Oh wow! As borderline veggie/vegans we gave it a shot snd weren’t disappointed. Very generous portions, fresh and clearly well prepared. Had Aloo Nimki and Pari Puri to start, cannot recommend these enough. The little balls so full of flavour. Insane. I had the Chilli...

Absolutely fantastic service, the food is delicious. The menu is very inclusive, it has a good selection of vegan options. Highly recommend

Good food and good helpful suggestion of the best meals for our party. Tasty and a fair price. Would certainly return.

Really tasty food, a great atmosphere and a lovely staff that helped us pick the top dishes. My favourite pick was the Pani Puri it was delicious and fun. When I'm next down in Folkestone I am definitely going to visit again.

Absolutely adore this place and we go there regularly. The staff are friendly, the price is great, the food is fresh and exciting. We tend to just have the starters as they’re so delicious and different from anything else you can get locally. You could...

Lived up to expectations- which were high. Fresh and lively flavours that distinguish it from the average curry house with a special mention for the starters and momos. Great team with genuine smiles - thanks.

We've been to Annapurna half a dozen times now and wow, this place is faultless every time. Beautiful rice and chicken curry, black daal, pork momo, momo noodle vegetable soup, veg paratha and a couple of Gurkha beers for £45. What an absolute bargain. The...

The excellent food was only surpassed by the sparkling service. Truly incredible, authentic cuisine that I will come back for time and time again.

My first Nepalese meal! Very good food, lovely friendly waiter, guided me to food he thought I could handle and the spices too. Lovely

Delicious fresh food definitely worth a visit! I’d heard great things about the restaurant but this was my first time and the food didn’t disappoint, a lovely evening catching up with my friends, I’ll certainly be back 👏🏻

Had heard about this place and the experience lived up to it. Authentic dishes we will be back. Thank you, Cathy

Came here early on a Saturday evening with family, this was our second visit. As a party of 3 adults we found the prices very reasonable. Good choice of food and generous servings, we actually had too much and took some back in containers as...

I was a bit disappointed. After reading all the rave reviews I was expecting something really special. I ordered the lamb thali, consisting of a lamb curry, with not very tender lamb, and a average Indian flavour with too much ghee, some vegetables, nicely al...

Sehr gut und authentisches Restaurant. Wir waren zu viert für 68 Pfund, sehr günstig incl. Getränke. Allen hat es super...

Unfortunately not the best experience. The waiter struggled to understand basic English and the food we ate didn't taste great and I'm pretty easily pleased! I think we chose the wrong food options sadly. Won't be returning any time soon.

I had a momo plate which had a massive quantity of chile, even though I requested medium. Due to the large amount of chile it was almost inedible. The pastry on the momo was too thick in my opinion, and the 'soup' was a thick...

the food was delicious and lovley sized portions. staff were very friendly and accommodating and a great experience in general

Delicious food, great service. Loved all the dishes. Definitely recommend this place. Will keep coming back.

This place is with out doubt the finest Indian restaurant we’ve been to. The food is simply outstanding the flavours are out of this world. We weren’t sure of what we were doing, so we explained to the staff what we wanted I.e., prawns, lamb,...

We visited this last Friday on a recommendation and despite not knowing too much about Nepalese food had a good meal. Quite an extensive menu but could do with a bit of a guide as to what to order a bit like a Tapas menu.......1...

Extremely good quality food. Very small unassuming place. Book ahead!! Run by former Gurkhas, these guys can cook! Try the Momos and Thali dishes. You won’t be disappointed. Bring cash! They are moving away from cards due to rising costs.

The food here was really very good! Nice and spicy (like spicy food!) but could still taste the subtle flavours in each of the dishes. The service was great with good recommendations from the manager (I think!). Each of the dishes he recommended was delicious...

Amazing food - particularly the vegan mixed starters which are plentiful and really nice. Really nice atmosphere and great service.

Wow! Absolutely amazing food and fantastic service! Staff were great; Really lovely vibe, highly recommend! Thanks!

Went with a group of people and the food and service was amazing. A fantastic vegan selection. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic venue family views and great service.would recommend the restaurant to local and visiting people as the food was amazing and lots of

Food was amazing as usual , pani puri to start and chilli mono for main meal , my partner had different , tried his pakora starter also amazing , staff and service outstanding, very reasonable definitely my favourite restaurant, thank you

Great immersive experience into Nepali culture transported through Food! Fantastic meal! Warm welcome and good service!

The best Nepalese restaurant around! Everything we was so tasty, and the variety of food was fantastic! Will definitely be returning.

Omg - pleaaaase do not hesitate to go this restaurant. The food is amazing and is the best food I have eaten in a long time. We came on a really busy evening, but we didn’t wait too long for food and the quality was...
