Lajeez

Tucked into Hobart, Lajeez is a family-run Nepalese and Indian kitchen where the welcome's warm and dinner feels easy. The atmosphere leans into comfort and flavour rather than fuss, inviting guests to settle in and let the spices speak for themselves.

The menu journeys across the subcontinent with confidence and a touch of Indo-Chinese flair. Favourites include the house special chilli chicken, glossy with garlic and heat, and garlic prawns that deliver a bright, fragrant kick. Soft, pleated momos arrive steaming and deeply satisfying, filled with either chicken or vegetables.

Thali sets bring a little taste of everything, while comforting classics like dal tadka, palak paneer, butter chicken and lamb rogan josh serve up familiar warmth. For something hearty, rice dishes such as Bombay veg biryani and a meat-based biryani complete the spread.

Service is warm, the pace unhurried, and sharing is always encouraged, with a banquet option for when guests want a bit of everything. For homestyle heart with a touch of polish, Lajeez is the kind of place you’ll happily return to. Grab a cosy spot and let the momos lead the way!
