Gurkha Bhansa Ghar

You'll find yourself on Apsley Street heading towards the town centre when you spot this place, and honestly, it's worth the detour. Gurkha Bhansa Ghar does proper Nepalese food without pretence—the sort of cooking you'd get in Kathmandu, not something reinvented for British palates. The momos are excellent (pork and vegetable especially), and if you've never had thukpa, this is where to start. It's consistently busy because locals know what they're doing here, and the fact it's racked up 283 reviews at 4.4 stars speaks for itself. The room itself is straightforward—all the focus is on the food, which is refreshing.
