Jimbu Thakali serves Nepali thali in Gurugram’s Sector 65

A mound of rice, ghee, dal, curries and pickles anchors the Cheli Jwai Thakali Thali at Jimbu Thakali in Sector 65, Gurugram. Named for a meal Nepali families prepare when a daughter and her husband visit home, the thali includes mushroom, chicken, mutton and paneer curries, saag, aloo jimbu, fried karela, fish, papad, salad and accompaniments including gundruk ko achar, made from fermented leafy greens.

At LG 27-31, M3M 65th Avenue, the restaurant also serves mushroom choila with ginger, garlic and Nepali spices. Kanchyamba, a fried buckwheat snack, comes with timur ko chhop, made with Sichuan pepper, dried chillies, cumin and coriander. Chicken and vegetable jhol momo arrive in yellow gravy, while the wood-fired chicken wings use Newari spices.

For dessert, the menu includes chilled Juju Dhau, often translated as “King of Yoghurt” and served in the Newari style, alongside churros and cheesecake chimichanga. The approximate cost for two is ₹1,500.
