This is the best Nepali food in Reading at a far more reasonable price than more central restaurants. We will be back.

This little gem is THE place you want to go to when you would like great and friendly service, chilled atmosphere and amazingly delicious food! I have never had Nepalese food but thoroughly enjoyed the superbly combined interesting flavours with the traditional spices and great recommendations from staff, who own the restaurant. Thank you for the lovely experience! We highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely go back!

Omgs… The food 🤤 and the service 🤌 We ordered kothey chicken momos, chatpatey and aalo ku achar… loved all three dishes and we had the best chatpatey so far. Highly recommended!

Ordered takeaway over the weekend. We were really disappointed with the taste. The lamb dish we ordered was overcooked and far too dry. The momos was nice but unfortunately the red sauce had a sour taste to it.

Met Chef/Owner Kamal who embodies hospitality! Nothing was too much trouble and he took really good care of me choosing some small plates. The Thicheko Aalu was fried creamy potato slice slathered in a spice/sichuan pepper mix - fantastic start. Veg Samosa Chaat was tasty, crunchy with just the right heat. Lamb Momo (dumplings) served with a tomato/garlic sauce were juicy and tender with tons of flavour. Great variety flavours when so many places’ food all tastes the same. Kamal was so proud of his food, it made the whole experience put a smile on my face walking back to the car. Go try it!

We booked for 4 for Sunday lunch but sadly we’re the only people there…. The staff were helpful and attentive. We started with chicken and lamb pan fried Mo Mos which were great with a spicy dipping sauce… Followed by a selection of their curries to share… the buffalo one was the favourite… and we loved the lentil pancakes… Overal a very enjoyable lunch we will return…

Love the food, the service and the ambience (comfortable and clean). I was given lots of helpful info when selecting the food, they were very generous with the extra sauce on my curry and best of all, the pan fried momo taste amazing and my chicken curry is so flavourful and hot! It says spicy and it didn't disappoint! A little pricey but I may go back once a while. Thanks!

Excellent service and delicious, tasty, piping hot, fresh food. Came here for dinner with colleagues and we all found the dishes superb. Really deep flavours, and cooked to perfection. Really well-priced. Thanks to the team for their suggestions of small plates to try. The chilli chicken, fish fry, spicy soy, aloo tikka, and buffalo dumplings were really yummy. Excited to come back here soon!

Soooooo much flavour! I visited here on a Monday night hence the lack of atmosphere. I was staying down the road at the Crown Plaza and fancied stepping out of the hotel. This was my first Nepalese and it certainly didn’t disappoint! I’m guessing it’s family run, it certainly feels that way. Fantastic service, quick but not in a way that made me feel rushed. I had the Pyajis for starter and Veg Nepalese Rice dish for main. The Pyajis were amazing. They had a sprinkle of a type of black salt on the top and were served with a green chilli and mint relish/sauce. I’d definitely recommend Kamal’s and will visit again if nearby. It was the perfect place to have a meal for one and watch the latest Rick Shiels video. 😂 Decent pint of Cobra too!

This place was recommended by a friend. We decided to order just a couple of starters for 5 of us as we wanted to enjoy our mains with loads of different dishes that was recommended to us. The member of staff seemed clearly off with our starter orders as we wanted to share. We felt very uncomfortable throughout then night. We ordered rest of our food, ate and left.

Looking forward to returning soon! Give yourself a change and try this wonderful food!

Update In regards to your response I can confirm it was 100% your restaurant. Please check with your staff as they might not be aware of your policy regarding use of your toilets.

Opening without any fanfare from the ashes of what was the Standard Tandoori this place is good. So much so I've been twice in a week. I've really enjoyed going through the menu and will have to go again to further my knowledge on momos and thukpa. We're pretty lucky in Reading to have some excellent Nepali restaurants and this is a fine addition. Edit; we've been back a couple of times more and they're excellent. One of the rare restaurants that make you feel at home and really get into the food.

We went this place along with the families and friends. We loved every bits of our evening with lovely foods. So called authentic food are often blended with western taste to make favourable for British tongue. But anyone honestly seeking for genuine delicacies that can truly match the tastes from the traditional localities of Kathmandu, then you are spot on at Kamal’s Kitchen. You can enjoy all sort of authentic delicacies in cosy, family environment at this place. Yes, I would like to recommend this place, whoever wants to teleport Nepalese authenticity of food to their tongue.

Excellent food and service! My girlfriend and I went here earlier this month and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They guided us through the menu (we've had Nepalese food only once before) and advised us on what we should have and how much - their recommendations were spot on. We chose the vegan options.The currys, rice and vegetable dishes were delicious, but the best dish were the fried dumplings (momos).

I have been here twice now, and the food is consistently tasty and enjoyable. The only issue is that on my last visit, we were sadly seated upstairs, which was tiny and pokey. There are too many tables too close to one another which made my meal and experience non-enjoyable.
