A new Nepalese restaurant and market is coming to the ground floor of a West End condominium complex.
Gorkha Nepal is a new location that will replace a previous restaurant and market in Watergate at Landmark, according to staff at the condo building. Like the old location, staff said the new Gorkha Nepal will give residents of the gated community a new place to eat and shop for some essential goods.
The former market had pretty standard fare, like breakfast sandwiches, burgers and pizza. The new location is applying for permits to serve beer and wine, but food options remain a mystery.
The space is currently undergoing renovations, but staff said it should be ready to open sometime next month.
