Guide to Nepali & Indian Food in Zambujeira do Mar

Zambujeira do Mar is known for the coast, but it is also a good place to try warming South Asian food after a beach visit or walk. At Gorkha Restaurant & Bar, the menu combines Nepali comfort dishes with familiar Indian curries and breads.

Start with momos

Momos are Nepali dumplings, usually steamed or pan-fried and served with chutney. They work well as a starter, shared plate or quick takeaway option.

Choose a curry and bread

Butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, daal fry and paneer curries are practical choices with plain naan, butter naan or garlic naan.

Try a full Nepali thali

A thali set gives you rice, lentils, curry, pickle and sides on one plate. It is a useful order for anyone who wants a complete meal instead of several separate dishes.
