Kathmandu Nepalese and Indian cuisine. in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Literally the only decent restaurant left here in Launceston at an affordable price, if you're in town and looking for something to eat and food which is made by people who care, this would be your place.

Many menu items were authentic dishes from Nepal. The Gurkhali chicken was really yummy, similar to a sweet and sour dish. Great lemon rice and sag aloo. Many menu items were cooked without wheat, and our really helpful Nepalese waiter was helpful talking me through the menu options so I could choose the duck Tikka with Nepalese spices. Sadly no dessert options, but maybe that's more authentic (better for the figure too!)

Best Indian in Launceston. Glad they are open again. Great and quick service.

genuinely friendly, welcoming atmosphere with a lot of care and attention to customer requests such as spice level. the food was incredible, delicious and well cooked, onions buttery and sweet, naan fluffy and soft, paneer crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. we stopped by while travelling through and were so pleasantly surprised. just wish we lived closer so we could come again!

Beautiful food authentic Indian and Nepal chefs not the cheapest but that can be forgiven for the quality.

Really nice food with a very good service. Can't wait to go back.

Trip back to an old favourite: new decor; great cuisine; friendly service. Would recommend to anyone seeking good food!

Wife and I ate here tonight first time in a while..we can't believe we waited so long... food superb.. king prawn Kari so rich .. prawns perfect. Wife mentioned not liking coriander... no problem. We both had a delicious meal. Portions just perfect for me (I eat a large meal) Wife couldn't finish just too much. Highly recommend

I recently been there, food was so delicious Must try if u like Indian food.

Manager of the place was really nice and gentle and served us with real good food even when we went at the closing time. Would really suggest visiting the place

Tried this restaurant several times. Every time is excellent. Amazing food. Best Indian and Nepalese taste. This place needs more customers. Seriously good quality food. Highly recommended.

SIX STAR ACTUALLY. I was there with my friends on holiday. EVERYONE enjoyed. Thank you to the manager who helped us to choose dishes and also explained how its been cooked. WONDERFUL DINING EXPERIENCE.

Really delicious food - loved the vegetable balti and sag paneer. Service great and very attentive. The restaurant itself was very clean and nicely decorated. Would highly recommend!

We ate at Kathmandu a few weeks ago and really enjoyed our evening. The food was all delicious. Great service too!

Deliver to my door excellent cheese and garlic naan and a beautiful chicken tikka masala will be having it again!

We had a meal for 2 when we phoned to put our order in they were very polite and the service was excellent the food was amazing. We will do it again

Amazing food and great service! Asked for Lamb Madras extra spicy the guys didn't disappoint. I'll be back next year when we stay in the area again.

Amazing food and service, very friendly! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you!

WOW. Unreal, such lovely food . I highly recommend. AMAZING flavours.

Just a takeaway of Chicken Rezalla with lemon rice last evening……delicious

I love the food, it's great for vegetarians, there is loads of choice and it is always yummy and large portions. I recommend them to everyone and no one has been disappointed.

Super delicious food. Very nice service 😊👍

Very nice atmosphere and good food. Enjoyed our stay during our holiday here.

Lovely service and fabulous food. We came late in the evening and got generous portions and even very nice mango lassi (though it was not on the menu). Greetings from Germany.

The food here is amazing and the service is excellent.

Really tasty food and great service.

Fabulous food great service. Highly recommend

Ideal restaurant location when attending events at Launceston Town Hall. I ordered the LAMB MO MO and husband ordered BHUTUWA. Also had PILAU RICE a side of MUSHROOM BHAJI which was a large portion even for two people and was delicious. Staff were attentive and friendly and the restaurant was busy with people going to the show. Would book again - Thank you.

The owner (Chico) was very friendly, interesting and happy to help us choose and personalise our orders. Food was delicious and we were not dissatisfied with Chico’s recommendations. Loads of vegetables in the veg Karahi and really nicely cooked! All the other dishes were superb as well.

its good indian desi food available

Lovely meal food very fresh and hot lots of flavour. Service very good. Shame more people don't use them over the weekend.

Really delicious food, and friendly staff, we ate in and were impressed by the freshly prepared curries, suitable for vegetarians and non vegetarians

Ordered a take away, came to the restaurant to collect. The staff were helpful and friendly. The food tasted excellent. We were very happy with the quality of all the food and found it to be very filling too. I would recommend eating here. Thanks

The best biryani I have had in the UK, I have had a some in India and this was authentic! My wife enjoyed her chicken jalfrezi which had a good heat and generous portion. We will defnatly be eating at the Kathmandu again.

We came here on a quiet Tuesday night but the food was excellent! Really enjoyed trying different dishes.

Chicken tikka bhuna was lovely and the meal arrived on time!

Fabulous food Great service Sadly had to walk through a horrible smell of cigarettes going in and out. Hopefully this can be resolved

The food is fine, the service is extremely poor. Order confirmation said delivery would be 45 minutes but was an hour and a half. When it arrived it wasn’t all there, the girl who answered the phone couldn’t have cared less, her boss said it would be approx. 30 minutes if we wanted the missing items to be delivered as the driver was on his way to the next delivery. The driver couldn’t have been very far away as he’d only left the door 5 minutes prior. Wouldn’t have minded the mistake if it had been dealt with efficiently.

Disappointing experience. Booked to dine in for first time as we were missing our previous Nepalese restaurant. We were the only diners for at least an hour. It took a while for anyone to take our drinks order and then I had to ask for mine when only my husbands was bought over. The young girls front of house were more interested in their mobile phones and openly moaning about how the manager would not let them have the heating on. Very unprofessional. We were warned the starter would be 20 mins. We waited forty five mins. They seem more interested in getting the take aways out and definitely at the expense of sitting in diners. Probably explains why it was so quiet. Very little authentic Nepalese on the menu. It was 1 hrs 35 before we got our main course. Food was ok but my husband had an upset stomach the next day. Would not return. Advice to management, please invest in some training for your front of house staff so your diners get better service and just advertise as Indian, not Nepalese

Had a lovely evening here catching up with old friends. Service was great and the food was delicious (far too much of it though!!) The owner was really committed to our enjoyment and even shared his recipe for the Takka Dahl!!

Went to pick food up it took a long time to be ready but it was well worth the wait if in the area again would definitely go back

Amazing food, great service, highly reccomend

Brilliant food, this place should be banged out!

We tend to go in early, so pretty quiet, but food is very good. Only slight complaint is that the last two visits they have not had the 'advertised' Nepalese beer.

Great food, highly recommend. Friendly staff and food was ready very quickly

Great quality food. Efficient service. We ordered in advance online and everything worked perfectly

Good food, rarely busybut the curryfor me is one of the best in the area

Top quality Indian restaurant and takeaway, probably the best I've had in Cornwall. Highly recommend.

Although I booked in advance by one hour when I got to restaurant I had to wait a further hour. Poor service also I did receive one complimentary drink while waiting. Food was average and the prices for a little higher for my expectations

Went here for a takeaway. 1 couple eating in the pub and yet we still had to wait an hour. If we had been told that when we ordered, we could have gone away and came back. Food average.

Excellent place the dry fry chilli chicken is one of the best things I've ever eaten

Nice menu, would recommend the delicious chicken gurkhali. Friendly service and lovely freshly cooked food. Thank you

Had a Indian couple nights ago for my friends birthday, I had a chicken phal and it was the best phal I've had. great service and great staff! Never had a problem with there food. Thank you

Good curry and value for money. Very prompt service

I've had 4 vindaloos from you and all have been exceptional, you've gained a new customer well done.

The food is excellent, it takes about 30-45 minutes waiting time but the quality is superb. Portions are generous, prices have gone up but hasn't everything of course Covid is blamed! Highly recommended.

Simply put, an authentic taste of Nepal. Amazing tasty dishes that will not disappoint. Highly recommended 👍

A great meal out. Quick service and good food. Vindaloo was really well done. Nice and spicy without killing you! The kids loved the butter chicken, coconut rice was nice and the bhaji was decent too. Maybe the people 1star reviewing it for delayed delivery should also comment on the actual food? Maybe pick up a paper and see how much hospitality/restaurants are struggling at the moment! Would visit again!

I decided to try the Kathmandu for the first time last night. I ordered a takeaway online around 6.30pm. They gave me a choice of time to collect. I chose collection at 7.15pm. My son was collecting the takeaway for me on his way to my house and when he hadn't arrived at mine by 7.50pm I rang the Kathmandu to be told he had just left with my order. Although you expect to wait for food to be freshly prepared I would have thought ordering it 45 minutes in advance would have been sufficient, obviously not. Had I known in advance that it would be 1 hour 20 minutes from ordering I wouldn't have ordered.

Absolutely delicious food and great service. All staff are friendly and helpful. Will definitely return here and recommend any lover of Indian cuisine

Visited with family including small children. amazing food, lovely staff would highly recommend. One of the best India meals we have had, great presentation also. Thank you

Ordered a takeaway for our last night on holiday as a treat for our daughter. Curry arrived an hour late so ended up having to cook anyway and left with a disappointed toddler. When my husband called they refused to remove the £8 delivery charge or offer a discount without having to drive in and get it. A courtesy call to say they’re running late, or a discount would have been the polite thing to do. Would not recommend.

Nice place to have Indian cuisine. For vegetarians, they have got some good variety to order from. We especially liked momos and the dip it comes with. Paneer and Dhal Tadka were also nice. The staff is very friendly and and also provided some pickles n sliced onions on request. We visited the restaurant based on Google reviews while in Cornwall for vacation and would rate the same. 4stars for food (not what you get back home in India but still close) and 5stars for staff’s hospitality. All the best guys.

Great food and really friendly service. Really enjoyed the meal we had here and the owner was lovely 👍🏻

Lived in the city most of my life and I know a good curry when I taste one and Kathmandu has never let me down, food is always consistent and very very tasty

We dropped in here when visiting friends nearby. The food was absolutely excellent and the staff were lovely and really friendly. Would visit constantly if we were local. I had the Hariyali chicken which was one of the best things I've ever tasted.

Visited as a large group (8 of us) The food was amazing The service was friendly and unhurried Gurkha beer 🍻nice but strong! Really enjoyed this meal - to be honest its one of the best curry ive had - cooked spot on, well presented and service with a smile If im in the area again i will definitely re visit this place and highly recommend it

Briyani could be better but otherwise good food?

An average curry, and below average service. I’d advise that you pay cash on collection, that way if your food arrives (very) late and there is no offer of compensation at least you can refuse to pay the full price.

Ive had many deliveries from these guys. Food has always been excellent and always on time. Definitely reccomend

I ordered from off the menu, asking for a traditional daal bhat fit for a sherpa. Hands down, the best daal bhat I've had this side of the Ganges. Really authentic, great quality & quantity at a competitive price. These guys are the real deal. Thank you!

Had a really good meal last evening. The food was delicious and the staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. We will definitely be visiting again.

We were walking randomly around the town looking for a nice place to dine, and that was a lovely discovery! Is a fortune when the person who is welcoming you to a restaurant is making sure that everything you get is fresh and with tlc. Thank you again

Happened upon this gem of a place by pure fluke (the only place open). The head waiter rotates as head chef and knew all the dishes inside out, gave excellent recommendations. Everything made to orde, fresh, tasty. Couldn't fault it. Hasta la vista, baby.

Yummy food 😋 and great Hospitality. Next time when I will visit Cornwall definitely come again 🙆,

Great place with great food. Very attentive staff. Great option for vegan food, staff were super accomodating and tweaked dishes to our needs. Would absolutely go back again and recommend to others. Thanks so much guys!

Best Curry in Launceston. Chico and team provided great service and food. A hidden gem not to be missed. Wish we could rate more than 5 stars :-)

Best place to eat. Friendly staff, customer service and tasty food with calm atmosphere makes it one of the best in town.

Visited this restaurant on my short visit to Cornwall The location was absolutely amazing, food was fabulous, service was brilliant. Well decorated painting on the wall makes the restaurant really beautiful 😍 thank you 👏

Ordered a take away online, it came early and was delicious! They did forget my popadom... but the quality of the dhansak, peshwari naan bhajis more than made up for it! Will order again!

We ordered a takeaway on Wednesday evening to be delivered and were very impressed! The food was delicious, it arrived hot and within the specified time. We would definitely use them again and visit the restaurant as soon as we can.

Absolutely loved it. Top notch. Madras was hot as hell

Someone told us to try here as the food was meant to be very good but actually it's amazing! The food was the best we have ever had. Full of flavour, fresh and hot. Service was slow but not surprising as they had orders coming from everywhere so clearly popular. Allow more time than they suggest

Excellent food, would definitely recommend

Very surprised not to see more review's, this place certainly turned around, we have had a few curries since opened so decided to use them for a little birthday party, the service was first class, and every one one off the 25 curries and accompaniments were amazing, the lamb was especially popular, everything was so good.

We've ordered take away from Taste of the Himalayas twice now and on both occasions have been really impressed by the taste, authenticity and variety of flavours, particularly given our purely vegetarian choices. We have recently moved to the area and we're delighted that good curry is within easy reach. We will try eating in the restaurant next time hopefully. Highly recommended.

Just had a takeaway,absolutely fabulous.Thankyou so much.Happy New Year!

Just had a takeaway from here tonight. Flavours are different from any other curry you can buy in Launceston or Bude. Will be using them again.

Eat here often and normally excellent! Not tonight!! Waited 45 minutes in an empty restaurant- food arrived cold-bland and tasteless!!!! Politely complained-said I was prepared to pay for the drinks and popudums etc but not the cold horrid mains-offered to pay 1/2 toward our uneaten mains. Chef came out and apologised and explained that it was his religious festival and he wasn't meant to touch any food so hadn't tasted it!!!!! I said we could accept that BUT....He got very cross and said I owed nothing and would I now leave!!!. We will NEVER go here again! Shame as has always been so good!

Great food, slightly longer wait than normal..but the wait is surely worth it, can tell its freshly made, better to wait and get great food in my opinion.

Brilliant food, actually authentic, rather than the pieces of meat in a non descript sauce you get in a lot of Indians these days. Really recommend giving it a try and reasonably priced too

Great place amazing food and great staff

Great food, well-prepared and takeout are quickly dealt with. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing! One of the best curries I've ever had. Tried the lamb and spinach curry and it was delicious, tender meat and wonderful flavours. Service also good.

Excellent food and service, wine and beer was lovely, staff very friendly and helpful, prices very reasonable, highly recommended and will definitely dine there again

I cant give '0' stars so I have to give 1 star... so 1 positive being that food arrived pretty quickly, unfortunately I didn't eat the chicken as you may aswell have eaten a rubber duck.... did Express my opinions about the left over chicken but waitress was or just didn't care and still charged me... Tbh should have read previous reviews on here and went to the neighbouring Indian restaurant!

Lovely staff and very tasty food.

Very friendly staff, knowledgeable about their menu and delicious fresh food. I eat curries quite frequently, have eaten here 3 times now,t and the food here is exceptional.

Ordered to takeaway. Our food was ready within 30 minutes and the staff were friendly. The food was excellent, some of the Himalayan specialty dishes were tasty and interesting. We ordered a range of dishes and they were all of high standard.

Unfortunately the food was not edible and we threw it all away. Real shame. :(
