About Us

WHO WE ARE

A couple, a kitchen, and eighteen years of serving people.

In Nepal we ran a restaurant and a pharmacy business. Alongside that, we worked in social service: an orphanage charity (Mamta Childcare Trust) and medical mission work in communities that needed it most.

We have been in Bathurst for the last three years. We worked very hard and saved carefully for one dream, to establish “Nepalese Food Hub”. Finally we met our dream, in the heart of Bathurst.

Nepalese Food Hub is our platform to introduce authentic Nepalese food, share our culture, and inspire people with the story of our life.

Spices from plants, never packets

Our dishes are naturally flavourful and aromatic, crafted with spices extracted from wholesome, beneficial plants.

Your spice, your way

Every meal is cooked to order so we can match your taste fiery hot, medium, or very mild. Gluten-free on request.

Service in our blood

Mamta Childcare Trust and medical missions shaped how we host: everyone is family at our table.

The family moved to Bathurst and launched Nepalese Food Hub, using their business to support communities in Nepal.
