Gorkha Palace

What is Gorkha Palace? Situated at 1 Oak Street in Regent Park, Gorkha Palace is a casual, sunlit neighborhood restaurant dedicated to regional Nepalese home cooking, tandoori specialties, and Hakka comfort staples. Led by Head Chef Rajesh Pandey—whose background includes extensive experience in luxury hotel kitchens like the Taj Hotel—the kitchen focuses on authentic Himalayan spicing and made-from-scratch staples. The space is relaxed and unfussy, offering straightforward table seating well-suited for solo diners, students, and family gatherings.

Gorkha Palace Menu & What to Order Handmade Nepalese momos are the primary draw, especially the chicken jhol momo steeped in a warm, spiced sesame-and-tomato broth, and the deep-fried, battered kurkure momos. Traditionalists should order the Thakali khana set, an expansive brass platter featuring fragrant rice, rich lentils, fresh greens, house achar, and tender goat or chicken curry. Sizzling tawa mutton and wok-tossed Hakka chilli paneer are equally reliable choices, supported by certified halal meat preparations and an expansive array of vegan options.

Know Before You Go Seating is casual and almost exclusively walk-in friendly, with takeout orders moving briskly throughout the evening. The restaurant is easily reached via the 505 Dundas streetcar route, with paid and free street parking scattered throughout the surrounding residential blocks. The kitchen stays open continuously from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. seven days a week, making it a dependable stop for late-night Himalayan cravings.
