With its three dining spaces, congenial staff and authentic Nepali cuisine, Fulbari is particularly full on Fridays with local Nepalese family celebrations. The momo (dumpling) soup comes highly recommended, perfectly spiced with vegetables or meat. The dumplings are boiled, not fried, which makes them deliciously light. Also good are the chow mein and thakali (a selection of curries and rice).
