5 /5 Nekhel Sahay: Had an excellent dining experience at Sapana Nepalese Restaurant in Reading city centre. This place truly delivers authentic flavours with great quality and generous portions.
The chilli chicken momos were outstanding — perfectly steamed and then tossed in a spicy, flavour-packed sauce with just the right balance of heat and tang. Easily one of the best momos I’ve had in the UK. The parantha and chicken curry combination was comforting and delicious; the curry was rich, well-spiced, and tasted freshly cooked, pairing beautifully with the soft, flaky parantha.
We also tried the sel roti, which was spot on — lightly crisp on the outside, soft inside, and wonderfully nostalgic. The samosa chaat was another highlight, loaded with flavour, texture, and a perfect mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy elements.
The vegetarian thali deserves a special mention — a wholesome and well-balanced platter with a variety of curries, dal, rice, and sides, all cooked with care and authentic seasoning. Every item on the thali had its own distinct flavour.
Service was warm and attentive, the ambience was welcoming, and the location is very convenient in the city centre. If you’re looking for genuine Nepalese food with bold flavours and great hospitality in Reading, Sapana Nepalese Restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
