About Khukuri Restaurant Adelaide

Khukuri Restaurant pairs Himalayan comfort cooking with live weekend Nepali music right in the heart of Adelaide. Diners gather around steaming goat momo poured straight from the pot, while platters arrive alongside smoky chicken choila and street-style chowmein. Specialty dumplings turn heads here—simmered inside bamboo tubes or whistled to order in table-side pressure cookers with rich spiced jhol. Nights regularly build around a full stage setup, where Nepalese bands draw singing crowds over cold Khukuri lager.

  • Specialty Momo Cookery: Goat and chicken momos prepared in bamboo tubes or tableside pressure cookers with spiced jhol broth.
  • Live Evening Music: Weekend evening sets feature Nepali bands on a dedicated dining room stage.
