Christmas is just around the corner, and we all know what that means—festive lights, family gatherings, and plenty of delicious food. But here’s the thing: not everyone wants the traditional roast turkey and Brussels sprouts this year. Some of us are craving something different. Something warm, flavourful, and a little bit special.
That’s where Durbar Square comes in.
If you’re looking for a Christmas celebration that breaks away from the ordinary, our authentic Nepalese and Indian restaurant in Didsbury, Manchester, is the perfect spot. We’re bringing the warmth of the Himalayas right to your festive table.
Christmas dinner doesn’t have to be boring. It can be exciting, full of flavour, and something everyone actually looks forward to. Whether you’re planning a cosy family meal, catching up with old friends, or hosting your work Christmas party, we’ve got everything you need.
Our menu combines the best of Indian and Nepalese cuisine. Think rich, aromatic curries. Freshly baked naan bread. Sizzling tandoori dishes that arrive at your table still smoking. And of course, our famous momos—those little pockets of joy that everyone falls in love with.
Plus, we’re in Didsbury. That means no crazy city centre crowds. No struggling to find parking. Just good food in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Perfect for those who want to enjoy Christmas without the stress.
We’re not just serving any old curry. Every dish at Durbar Square is made with fresh ingredients, traditional spices, and recipes that have been passed down through generations. Our head chef, Hom Nath, has over 13 years of experience cooking authentic Indian and Nepalese food. He knows exactly how to make every bite memorable.
Here’s what you can expect when you join us this Christmas;
Kick things off with our crispy vegetable samosas or tender chicken tikka. Want to try something truly authentic? Go for the momos—steamed dumplings filled with spiced meat or vegetables. They’re a Nepalese street food classic and a real crowd-pleaser.
Our menu has something for everyone. Meat lovers will enjoy our Gorkhali lamb—slow-cooked in traditional spices until it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender. If you prefer chicken, our butter chicken is creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. Vegetarians aren’t left out either. Our paneer dishes and dal makhani are packed with flavour.
And if you’ve never tried dosa before, Christmas is the perfect time. These crispy South Indian crepes come with a variety of fillings and are surprisingly light, even after a big meal.
We’ve got a full drinks menu too. From ice-cold beers to Nepali rum, and even some unique options like Highlands Blue (a Nepali whisky). Whatever you fancy, we’ll make sure your glass is never empty.
One of the best things about Durbar Square is how welcoming it is for groups. We’ve got plenty of space, a family-friendly vibe, and staff who actually care about making your experience great.
Planning a Christmas party with your mates? We can handle it. Want to bring the whole family, including the kids? No problem. Need a quieter spot for a romantic Christmas dinner? We’ve got cosy tables for that too.
And here’s a bonus: we offer catering services. So if you’d rather celebrate at home but still want restaurant-quality food, we can bring the feast to you. Imagine serving up authentic butter chicken and garlic naan at your Christmas party. Your guests will be talking about it for weeks.
Let’s be honest, some restaurants try too hard at Christmas. Tacky decorations. Cheesy music. Staff forced to wear elf hats. That’s not us.
At Durbar Square, we keep things simple but special. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The lighting is just right. And the service? Friendly without being over the top. You can relax, enjoy your meal, and actually have a proper conversation without shouting over loud music.
We know Christmas is a busy time. That’s why we’ve made booking as easy as possible. You can reserve your table online in just a few clicks. Pick your date, choose your time, and you’re sorted.
Not sure if you’ll make it out? No worries. We also do takeaway and delivery through Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats. So you can enjoy Durbar Square from the comfort of your own sofa if that’s more your style.
And here’s something extra: we’re open throughout the Christmas period. So whether you want to celebrate on Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, or any time in between, we’ll be here.
Here’s the cherry on top: we’re running special offers throughout December. From Monday to Thursday, you get 20% off when you order online. That’s a proper Christmas treat right there.
Plus, if you’re thinking ahead to the new year, we’ve got gift cards available. They make brilliant presents for the foodie in your life. Who wouldn’t want a voucher for unlimited momos?
