The stuff of great memories Reminiscing about your travels in exotic Nepal? Wanting to try something unusual? The Hungry Buddha is the perfect choice for anyone interested in a genuine experience of the Himalayas. Nepalese cuisine distinguishes itself from its sub continental neighbours by using fewer and more carefully selected spices in order to preserve the other flavours and textures of the ingredients. A traditional menu is complemented by modern presentation, décor and service. The restaurant is located in the Curtin shops, making it relatively accessible. Globetrotters who are really feeling nostalgic may be particularly attracted to the grass-green and mountain-scree landscapes painted on the walls, reminiscent of the grassy meadows of the middle ranges, or the high-mountain scree slopes above Tengboche monastery in eastern Nepal. Teak tables and floors and comfortable chairs add warmth, while the relaxed ambience is further enhanced by Nepalese instrumental music playing softly in the background. Meals are hardy enough to satisfy the most hardworking Canberran, including black lentil Maas Ko Daal and potato with cauliflower Aloo Gobi. Best dish: Nepalese Salmon
