Even though there are several places to choose from, Palungo is rated as the best Nepali restaurant in Brockley due to our genuine dishes and consistency in quality.

Momo are a type of Nepali dumpling, usually steamed or fried, and filled with spiced meat or vegetables. They're typically served with a tangy, slightly spicy tomato-based dipping sauce called achar. At Palungo, momo are one of our most popular dishes, loved for their comforting flavor and satisfying texture.

Dal bhat is regarded as national meal of Nepal, which consists of lentil soup, rice, vegetables, and pickled vegetables. This is a hearty, healthy meal, which has been part of Nepalese households for many years. Dal bhat is cooked traditionally in Palungo, so you can experience Nepalese cooking firsthand.

Nepali food is mild to moderately spicy, but tends to be more balanced than is commonly believed. Here at Palungo, we are happy to make any adjustments to the spice intensity based on your taste preferences, as you may like something that is a bit spicier, or more mild. Simply inform us of your preference at the time of your order and we will ensure we deliver this on your taste.

Although Nepali and Indian cuisines share some spices and cooking techniques, Nepali food tends to be lighter and less oil heavy overall. Dishes like momo, dhido, and thakali thali reflect strong Himalayan and Tibetan influences rather than the richer curry based dishes common in Indian cooking. At Palungo, our menu reflects this distinct Nepali identity rather than blending it into general South Asian food.
