Tama - Auckland

Had the Nepalese tea, tofu chowella and the vegetarian curry bowl and my companion had the seafood chow mein. The Nepalese tea had a pleasant mildly spiced taste and wasn’t sweetened which was nice. The tofu chowella was spicy and beautifully flavoured and vegetarian curry was mild and packed full of fresh veggies. It’s different to Chinese and Indian curries so would recommend giving it a go even if you’re not usually a curry person. The seafood chow mein also had a nice mild flavour. The portion sizes for the mains were huge (the curry comes with a HUGE portion of rice on the side) and good value weren’t overly oily. Loved the ambience too!

Really nice food in an inconspicuous location. The place was a bit dark but the food was great for the price. The lamb chowella and the bone in chicken curry were amazing. For two people we got 10 momo, the lamb, the fish fry, and a ne-thali set

First time trying Nepalese food and I was blown away by it. I love that they have so many vegetarian options to choose from. We tried the momo, mushroom curry, chowmein, burger, saag and sides of rice flakes and roti. They are all very tasty, my daughter cannot handle spicy food, she was content with the roti, momo and saag. I cannot wait to come back and try more dishes. It felt like everything was made fresh, I think it was as it took some time to come out. The place was very busy on a Wednesday night. Thanks for a great meal!

Such great food and service!! Definitely recommend the momos and the lamb curry. Loved the chicken nibbles, but they have a kick to them! Yum! Will definitely be back.

The Lamb Chowella was a standout with its incredibly seasoned tender lamb cubes, toasted rice flakes, and fried mung beans creating a delightful crunch. The Dumplings were tasty, especially paired with the sesame tomato soup, although the filling could have had a bit more flavor. The Curry was tender and light in flavor, although slightly dry and with an imbalanced ratio of curry to rice. The Tacos, while ordinary, were elevated by perfectly cooked chicken tenders and a sweet spicy sauce. Overall, the dishes were flavorful and on the salty side, making for an enjoyable meal. The prices were reasonable, but we were disappointed when a dish we ordered was unavailable and we were only informed after our other dishes had arrived.
