Malinggo Restaurant

Malinggo on Station Road is one of Aldershot's most characterful Nepalese restaurants, serving the town's substantial Gurkha community and beyond. The menu is rooted in the hill cuisine of Nepal: mutton momos with house chutney made from charred tomatoes and spices, chicken chowmein with garlic, ginger and sesame oil, thali sets with rice, lentil dal and vegetable sides, and chicken lollipops to start. Weekend evenings bring live music, lifting the atmosphere well above the typical takeaway-and-sitdown formula. Reviewers praise the momos as absolutely delicious and the thali as deeply satisfying; prices are considered extremely reasonable for what arrives on the table. An honest, lively taste of Nepal in the heart of the garrison town.
