45 Minutes for Breakfast? What a Joke.
We waited 45 minutes for our breakfast — completely unacceptable. To make it worse, my wife's meal arrived first, and I had to remind the staff two or three times before mine finally showed up. By the time my food came, she had already finished hers.

What’s the point of going out for breakfast with your partner if one person eats alone while the other just waits?

The server didn’t seem to care when I asked about the delay — no apology, no explanation, just a disinterested attitude. We expected decent service and good food based on the high ratings, but this experience was nothing short of frustrating.

Even in a busy café, a 20–25 minute wait might be fair — but this place wasn’t even crowded. Definitely not coming back, and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed breakfast out.

Lovely cafe amongst retail precinct so easy parking. Coffee was excellent and food looked amazing - we shared the Oh Fluffy pancakes and both of us were full!

This place has the best food quality for brunch in the Darwin Northern suburb (if not the entire Darwin). They fact that they survived for years and always pack with people, it shows that they consistently offer good quality food. The dishes are decorated nicely, good portions The ingredient quality shines, not too salty/sweet. They are mostly offering western style breakfast although the name indicates Nepalese restaurant. They do have momos and 1-2 other Nepali dishes, taste good (best momo in Darwin), but not an extensive array of Nepali food.
They use real ceramic plates, including real big cups for coffees and glass for free tap water. The service is great, although it can take a while for the food to come out, worth the wait. They also don't charge the eftpos fees, amazing.
If you only have a day to have a breakfast/ brunch in Darwin, this would be your best bet. Yes the atmosphere is ordinary but the food quality is good. It has aircon. Plenty of car park. Not so wheelchair friendly, pram can enter, not sure about wheelchair. Vegetarian options available. The service is great, they are so kind and make you want to come back more.

Good menu selection, we had the momo salad which was very fresh and had good flavour. Also recommend the tropical smoothie. Very friendly and helpful staff.

TASTY AND AFFORDABLE DISHES
I was very impressed with the creamy garlic linguini with huge prawns and chorizo and Parmesan that I had to write a review. And only $24 for this huge serving. Fruit smoothies are also pretty good, can’t wait to try the goat curry or biryani next time I come back. Beautiful art of the Himalayans on the walls too. Thanks

A hidden gem in Darwin!
Tucked away in a busy area, but I’ve never had trouble getting a table. The staff are always lovely, and the meals are big and full of flavour. Their coffee is consistently great never misses a beat, just like the food. They used to serve even bigger portions, but honestly, I can’t complain. Still one of my favourite spots.

Best Nepalese restaurant in Darwin. They got varieties of options and service fresh and quality dishes. Despite of being a busy Monday, they prepared our order quickly and we were really happy with the food and service. We were glad to see Aussies enjoying their breakfast too.
Thanks for today and we Will be back soon.

Outstanding service. The coffee and my burger were amazing. Came here on Saturday and couldn’t wait to come back. Here again today and just had the steak sandwich on Turkish bread and it was delicious. Highly recommend. I will definitely be regular here from now on.
