From Hong Kong Island you have to trek deep into the New Territories to find it, but rest assured that if you are on the hunt for an authentic Himalayan experience then Shangri-La Curry House in Yuen Long is about as close as you’re going to get. Of course the food delivers on expectation, with lashings of rich, colourful Nepalese and Indian curries alongside some of the softest naan bread you’ll ever try, variously dressed poppadums and some hearty Central Asian-style meat and rice dishes. Our pick for anyone would be the baingan bharta, a gorgeous vegetarian curry of minced, tender eggplant and fragrant spices that even carnivores will come back for. The true Nepalese experience you get here on On Ning Road doesn’t end with the food, though, it’s also the peaceful ambience (largely set by colourful murals of Nepalese mountain scenes) and friendly, passionate, helpful but non-invasive staff, who make you feel right at home – if your home happens to be in the Himalayas.
