About Chulesi Nepalese Resturant

Kathmandu street energy right in Moonah. The open kitchen cooks every order fresh—no steam tables, no shortcuts. Expats across Tasmania track down the buff momos, served in spiced broth alongside chowmein with a sharp noodle-and-onion crunch. Arrive late from the road and the staff still treat you like family, dishing up goat curry with rice, lentils, and braised greens.

  • Buff Momo Specialties: Traditional water buffalo dumplings served in rich, spiced broth alongside buffalo fried rice.
  • Traditional Thakali Sets: Multi-dish platters piled with dal, ghee, saag, and slow-simmered goat curry.
  • Open-Kitchen Hospitality: Dishes cooked fresh to order in full view, backed by warm, family-style service.

    Visitors stranded by interstate travel delays receive gracious hospitality and hot meals even after regular kitchen closing times.

    We came all the way from Adelaide and, due to travel delays, arrived past their closing time. Despite that, they graciously welcomed us in and served us without hesitation.

    Diners arriving late due to interstate travel delays have been welcomed in and served full meals without hesitation past official closing time.

  • Personal Chef Greetings

    The kitchen team takes time to step out from behind the line to warmly greet dining guests directly at their tables.

    When ready-made mango lassis ran low in the fridge, front-of-house staff promptly blended a fresh, extra-thick batch so dining companions would not miss out.

Before you head over

Helpful advice on kitchen pacing, portion sizes, and parking—book your table today to enjoy authentic Himalayan dining in Moonah.

  • Expect Fresh-to-Order Kitchen Timing

    Plates are cooked fresh to order in an open kitchen rather than reheated from pre-batched meals, so allow a little extra time during busier dining periods.

  • Pace Orders Around Generous Portions

    Servings are hearty and filling; if you want to sample both momos and a full traditional thali platter, bring a serious appetite or ask for takeaway containers.

  • Take Advantage of Ample On-Site Parking

    Located right on Main Road in Moonah, the venue features ample on-site parking, making it an easy, accessible stop whether traveling from Hobart or across the island.
