Why it's worth checking out

Lakeside Gurkhas sits on Eastlake Parade at Kingston, in the popular Kingston Foreshore precinct by Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra. A popular Nepalese restaurant, it brings the warm, flavour-packed traditions of Nepalese cuisine to a lovely lakeside setting — the kind of welcoming, sociable spot that's become a genuine favourite for a hearty, distinctive feed with a view.

The appeal is that combination of quality, authentic Nepalese food, a great atmosphere and a beautiful lakeside location at the Kingston Foreshore, ideal for a relaxed dinner, a group meal or a satisfying feed by the water. Nepalese cuisine offers something a little different, and with its lovely foreshore setting, Lakeside Gurkhas has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,900 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular foreshore restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or keen for a spot with a lake view in Kingston.
