Himalayan Kitchen is a Nepalese restaurant and takeaway at 17 Penge Lane in south London. The family run venue prepares dishes to order and welcomes diners into a relaxed setting, while collection and local delivery provide convenient alternatives to eating in.
Momo dumplings are a local favourite, joined by lively starters such as chilli chicken, seekh kebabs and vegetarian platters. Traditional recipes, fresh ingredients and adjustable spice levels help the kitchen serve both gentle, comforting dishes and bolder combinations.
Curries include homestyle Gurkha Himali chicken, slow cooked meat preparations and paneer dishes. Tandoori chicken, salmon tikka and achari lamb tikka bring smoky flavours from the grill, while fragrant biryanis offer meat, seafood and vegetable choices.
The broad menu works well for sharing with family or friends, and tables can be reserved directly with the restaurant. Diners with allergies or dietary requirements should explain their needs when booking and confirm ingredients, marinades and preparation methods before ordering.
