The Nanglo

What is The Nanglo? Anchoring a lively stretch of Eglinton Avenue East in Scarborough, The Nanglo is a soulful neighborhood destination devoted to authentic Himalayan comfort food and bold Indo-Chinese cooking. The dining room balances rustic wooden accents and vibrant, modern touches with occasional live music that energizes the room on weekend nights. Seating is generous and unpretentious, equipped with wide banquettes and tables well-suited for sprawling multi-generational gatherings or casual solo diners.

The Nanglo Menu & What to Order Momos are the primary draw here, executed in over a dozen styles ranging from Delhi-style cream-drenched dumplings to crunchy Kurkure chicken momos and steamed rounds dunked in tangy, sesame-scented Jhol broth. The centerpiece of the kitchen is the traditional Thakali Set—a balanced brass platter piled high with spiced goat or mutton, fragrant dal bhat, gundruk, and house-made achar. Rounding out the menu are smoky, skewered Goat Sekuwa and fiery Hakka staples like Dragon Chicken and spiced Nepalese chowmein, leaving omnivores and vegetarians equally well covered.

Know Before You Go Walk-ins are standard, though reserving a table is wise on Friday and Saturday nights when dinner crowds converge for live tunes and family celebrations. Strip-plaza parking makes driving simple, while TTC riders can hop on the frequent Eglinton East buses running between Kennedy Station and Scarborough GO. Note the schedule quirks: the kitchen serves from noon until late throughout the week, except on Tuesdays when doors open at 5:00 p.m.
