Monkey Temple is a neighbourhood restaurant on Askew Road devoted to the food traditions of Nepal and India. Its philosophy treats food as a way for people to share and connect, creating a warm setting where the satisfaction of a meal extends beyond flavour to the comfort of dining together.

Nepalese specialities give the restaurant its clearest identity, introducing diners to dishes that are less familiar in many London curry houses. Steamed momos, spiced chhoeyla, Thakali style combinations and robust Gurkha inspired curries reflect a cuisine shaped by mountain regions, trade routes and varied local communities.

Indian favourites, tandoor cooking and biryani broaden the selection, with fresh spices and seasonal ingredients used to build depth and aroma. Vegetarian and vegan choices make it easier for groups with different preferences to share the experience, while a range of heat levels keeps the cooking approachable.

The simple dining room and friendly service give Monkey Temple the feel of a dependable local restaurant rather than a formal destination. Guests can settle in for dinner or order for collection and delivery, making its Nepalese and Indian cooking part of both special evenings and everyday meals in Shepherd’s Bush.

Address: 92 Askew Road, Shepherd’s Bush, London W12 9BL, United Kingdom
