Hidden Gem in Town: A Heartwarming Nepalese Delight 🇳🇵 Tucked away in a cozy corner, this small Nepalese restaurant surprised us with a big burst of flavor and hospitality. Despite its modest size, the food was absolutely outstanding, both in quality and quantity. The fried rice and soup noodles we ordered were perfect for the chilly weather, warming us up from the inside out. Every bite was rich, authentic, and deeply satisfying. The staff were incredibly polite and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We ended up spending a lot of time chatting with them, and even received some lovely compliments that added a personal touch to the whole experience. It’s rare to find a place where the food and the people both leave such a lasting impression. This spot is truly worth every penny. If anything, they deserve a bigger space to match the greatness of what they offer. I’ll definitely be going back, and next time, I’m bringing friends. We tried dumplings, noodles, and fried rice at Little Budha in Amsterdam, and it was such a pleasant surprise! Most places around here are pretty pricey, but this spot was both affordable and really tasty. The food was fresh, the portions were good, and the dumplings were definitely my favorite so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The staff was friendly too, and the whole place had a nice, cozy vibe. Highly recommend if you’re looking for good food in Amsterdam without spending too much. Solid food at a good price. If you’re looking for a quick, satisfying meal and enjoy the fun of fried rice/dumplings/noodles, this place is for you. It’s quite small, and the air inside can get a bit heavy from all the frying oils and spices. They usually keep the door open, which can make it a little chilly at times, but that’s part of the atmosphere in a way. The place has a very authentic Asian vibe, like a tiny noodle bar tucked away in Hong Kong. The staff are friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. I found most of the fried dishes a bit too oily or greasy for my taste, so if you’re the same, I’d recommend trying the soup instead. Otherwise, you’ll likely enjoy their fried noodles, the seasoning is spot on.
