Winners of the coverted  readers best indian restaurant in the UK award.But, It wasn't always like that.....     Great Kathmandu Awards Gopal Dangol was already gathering a name for himself as one of the finest chefs in Kathmandu and it wasn't long before the word spread to England. Soon after he was pin pointed by a restaurateur in the North West to cook for him in a new and exciting project. Word spread fast and Gopal started a new venture with several collages this was to be a milestone for Asian dining in the north west. Nepalese food had finally arrived in Manchester in the form of The Kathmandu. With the Kathmandu gaining almost Cult status things took a turn for the worst and slowly the partners drifted apart. After the Kathmandu ceased business in '86 Gopal begin work on a new project, an altogether 'Greater' project, The Great Kathmandu Tandoori Restaurant.  Head chef cooking a flaming dish Some say that it was fate that Gopal came to England but I know it was sheer determination and hard work. Even today those same recipes are used today in all our curries. That recipe is Nepalese Courage and adaptability.   Front of Great Kathmandu(2003-2007) |
