There is was, tucked within a row of shophouses which were mainly either garages or hardware stores.
Given its location, it's a marvel that this restaurant has managed to survive beyond a year. For Serangoon Road is at its busiest at dinner time with traffic at a painful crawl, so unless one has got no option but drive thru at that hour (like I do on daily basis), few would venture near enough to know of Mini Nepal's very existence.
I always check out the menu and give a place a chance, and was there for the third time last week.
Ambience is functional. They could do with less lights and some makeover. Patrons are often fit able-bodied Gurkha men with their families.
This is what the menu's like...
Portions are decent sized and may be too much for just two unless you've got a ravenous appetite.
If its a pair of you, you'd do best to just order two dishes: one dry and another with gravy, with naan (unleavened bread) on the side.
Garlic Naan
was simple the way its meant to be, fragrant, soft on the inside, crispy on the outside with little charred bits here and there.
Two
Curries...
The yellow dish is Cottage Cheese with Ginger & Coriander Leaf, and the orange one is Chicken Tikka Masala
Mild but flavorful and creamy, these went marvelously with hot crispy naan.
Oven Baked
Fish with Spices...
I would've liked the fish to be a little more firm and flakey.
Tandoori
Chicken
This is a generous serving enough for company of three to four, with 2 thighs and 2 breast portions.
You might like chicken done tender with flesh almost falling away from bone, but again, I'd prefer firm fleshed.
House
wines
were relatively cheap. I'm no wine connosieur, but for $28 per bottle, this Argentinien white was good enough to take the lot of us through the dinner.
