Nepalese food is all about bold flavors, rich traditions, and shared moments around the table. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, festival, or cultural celebration, food plays a central role in bringing people together. At momo@penrith, a trusted Nepali restaurant in Sydney, we often cater for events across the city — and here’s a look at some of the most loved Nepali dishes that make every event memorable. 🥟 Starters: A Flavorful Welcome Nepalese events usually begin with a mix of savory starters to awaken the appetite.
