About Nanglo Restaurant

Bringing the Heart of the Himalayas to Bur Dubai

Welcome to Nanglo Restaurant,
where every meal is a journey back to the roots of authentic Himalayan and Indo-Chinese flavors. Tucked away in the vibrant heart of Al Souk Al Kabeer, we are a hidden gem dedicated to serving honest, soul-warming food to the diverse community of Dubai.

The Meaning Behind Our Name
In Nepali culture, a Nanglo is a traditional flat, round tray woven from bamboo. For generations, it has been the heartbeat of the kitchen—used to sift grain, prepare meals, and serve the bounty of the harvest.

Just like the Nanglo, brings together the essential ingredients of a household, our restaurant brings together tradition, community, and spice. We believe that food should be prepared with the same care and love as a home-cooked meal in the mountains of Nepal.

Our Culinary Philosophy
At Nanglo, we don't take shortcuts. From our hand-folded Momos to our slow-simmered Thalis, we use traditional cooking techniques and the finest spices to ensure every bite is packed with nostalgia and flavor. Whether you are craving the fiery kick of a Sichuan-style chili or the comforting warmth of traditional Dal Bhat, our kitchen is ready to serve you.

Where to Find Us
Located conveniently in the historic district of Bur Dubai, we are a favorite retreat for shoppers, locals, and tourists alike. You can find us right behind the Sharaf DG shop, steps away from the Astoria Hotel on Al Fahidi Street.

A Message from Our Founder

“Food has a unique way of carrying the soul of a place. When I first envisioned Nanglo Restaurant, I didn't just want to build another eatery in the busy streets of Bur Dubai; I wanted to build a bridge back to our heritage.

The Nanglo—the traditional bamboo tray—is a symbol found in almost every home across the Himalayan foothills. It represents the hard work of the harvest and the meticulous care that goes into preparing a meal for the family. It is a circle that brings people together. That is exactly what we strive to do here.

Growing up, I remember the intoxicating aroma of fresh spices being ground and the steam rising from a hot pot of Momos. At Nanglo Restaurant, we bring those childhood memories to life. We haven't compromised on the heat of our chillies, the depth of our lentils, or the authenticity of our techniques. Every dish that leaves our kitchen and reaches your table is a piece of our heart, prepared with the same honesty as a meal shared in a village home.

Whether you are a fellow expatriate looking for a taste of home, or a food lover in Dubai eager to explore the true flavors of Nepal and Indo-Chinese cuisine, we welcome you. Thank you for letting us share our culture and our kitchen with you. We don't just want to be your favorite restaurant; we want to be the place where you feel you truly belong.”
