Dinner @ The Hungry Buddha, Belconnen

Back in 2013 a visiting American friend introduced us to The Hungry Buddha Nepalese restaurant in Curtin, on the south side of Canberra. She's a vegetarian and had Googled for Canberra vego restaurants before leaving home! We enjoyed a lovely meal there, and I ended up on their email list as I'd booked online. Fast forward three years, and they've opened another branch in Belconnen. Andrew and I had dinner at the new place last night. Great food, cool décor and cheerful service.

For the entrée we shared:

Makkai fry (corn kernels sautéed in Nepali style with onion,

ginger, garlic and pepper timmur) and pakora (spiced mixed vegetables

in a chickpea batter, served with tamarind sauce)

and our main course was:

Bheda ko masu (boneless lamb cooked in traditional Nepali style 

with tomatoes, coriander, bay leaves and other spices) and

jogi tarkari (Nepali style mixed vegetable curry of cauliflower,

broccoli, carrot, zucchini, peas, potatoes and bamboo shoots)

Namaste!
