About Maya DD's Restaurant - Woolwich
We are not your usual Nepalese restaurant. We are here to introduce and make you fall in love with authentic Nepalese food. Due to its geographic location, Nepalese food has Indo-chinese influences. However, it is made unique because of regular use of lesser-known Himalayan spices. Although food menu is quite diverse, Maya DD’s Restaurant has chosen the best dishes for you. We have everything from well-known dishes to lesser known ethnic dishes.
