After winning hearts with four acclaimed outlets across Kathmandu, Nepal’s beloved Jimbu Thakali makes its India debut in Gurugram, India, bringing with it the rich culinary traditions of the Thakali community from the Himalayan region of Mustang.
Located at M3M 65th Avenue, Sector 65, the restaurant offers more than just a meal, it presents an authentic taste of Nepal’s cultural heritage. At the heart of the menu is the iconic Thakali Thali, a thoughtfully curated platter that celebrates balance, flavour and tradition. Featuring aromatic lentils infused with the rare Himalayan herb Jimbu, fragrant rice, seasonal vegetables, crispy potatoes, tangy radish pickle, fermented gundruk, tomato chutney and the choice of succulent chicken or mutton, every element is prepared using time-honoured family recipes.
Beyond the signature thali, the menu showcases standout dishes including Buckwheat Fries, Mutton Momos, Chicken Choila Wings, Sukuti Sandheko, Timur Chicken and Baked Buckwheat Nachos, each offering a distinctive glimpse into the bold, comforting flavours of the Himalayas.
The restaurant takes pride in sourcing signature Himalayan ingredients such as Timur, Nepal’s prized pepper known for its distinctive citrusy aroma and gentle tingling finish and Jimbu, a rare high-altitude herb cherished for both its unique flavour and medicinal value. Together, these ingredients lend every dish the unmistakable essence of authentic Thakali cuisine.
Inspired by the historic salt trade routes that connected Nepal, Tibet and India, Thakali cuisine reflects centuries of culinary exchange while remaining deeply rooted in Himalayan traditions. This philosophy extends beyond the plate. The restaurant’s interiors draw inspiration from the heritage homes of Mustang, featuring beautifully handcrafted Newari-style wooden windows that celebrate Nepal’s rich architectural legacy.
While the spotlight remains firmly on authentic Thakali fare, the menu also includes a curated selection of continental favourites inspired by international hospitality.
With warm Nepalese hospitality, soulful Himalayan flavours and a truly immersive cultural dining setting, Jimbu Thakali, with its 2,500 sq. ft. space, 80-cover dining room and its prime location at M3M 65th Avenue, Sector 65, promises to be Gurugram’s newest destination for those seeking an authentic mountain dining experience.
