About the Vibe
Panas is where Blackheath gets its best dose of authentic Nepalese and Indian flavors, far from the generic curry house fare you'd find elsewhere. Chef Sujan Katuwal MBE brings decades of experience and a genuine passion for Himalayan cuisine, serving up dishes that honor tradition while feeling fresh and approachable. The Mum's Chicken Curry is a standout comfort dish, and if you're visiting on the first Wednesday of the month, don't miss the Gurkha Night—a unique cultural celebration you won't find anywhere else in London. With private dining options and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it's become a neighborhood favorite for both intimate dinners and group celebrations. The restaurant's recent string of awards, including Fine Dining Restaurant of the Year at the Asian Curry Awards 2025, speaks to the quality and consistency you can expect. This is the kind of place where locals go to feel like they've stepped into Nepal without leaving Blackheath.

Authentic Nepaleze flavors in Blackheath
Panas has quietly become one of Blackheath's most reliable spots for genuine Nepalese and Indian food. What sets it apart is the depth of flavor and the care that goes into every dish—this isn't just curry, it's a reflection of Chef Sujan Katuwal's heritage and expertise. The Mum's Chicken Curry is a must-try, rich and comforting without being heavy, and the Thali Set Lunch offers incredible value if you hit them during their weekday window.
The atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious, perfect for families or groups looking for a relaxed evening. On the first Wednesday of each month, the Gurkha Night transforms the space into a celebration of Nepalese culture with special dishes and music—a rare treat that locals swear by. While service can slow down during peak times, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. If you're tired of the same old curry house routine, Panas is worth seeking out.

Panas s'est imposé comme une référence discrète mais solide à Blackheath pour qui cherche une cuisine népalaise et indienne authentique. Ce qui fait la différence, c'est la profondeur des saveurs et le soin apporté à chaque plat — ici, on ne parle pas de simples currys, mais d'une cuisine qui raconte l'histoire du chef Sujan Katuwal et de son héritage. Le Mum's Chicken Curry est incontournable, riche et réconfortant sans être lourd, tandis que le Thali Set Lunch offre un excellent rapport qualité-prix en semaine.
L'ambiance est chaleureuse et décontractée, idéale pour les familles ou les groupes qui souhaitent passer une soirée détendue. Le premier mercredi de chaque mois, la Gurkha Night transforme le lieu en une célébration de la culture népalaise, avec des plats spéciaux et de la musique — une occasion rare que les habitués ne manquent jamais. Le service peut parfois être lent aux heures de pointe, mais la qualité des plats compense largement. Si vous en avez marre des mêmes restaurants indiens sans âme, Panas vaut le détour.
