Paisley is getting a taste of the Himalayas this week with the opening of City of Temple – Kathmandu, a new authentic Nepalese and Indian restaurant on Moss Street.

The venue opens its doors on Wednesday 14 October, brought to the town by Rabi Maharjan, who runs the celebrated Dé Buddha Authentic Nepalese Restaurant & Bar. Rabi has long wanted to establish a presence in Paisley, and when the former Grand Fusion premises became available, he seized the opportunity.

Diners can expect the same high-quality Nepalese cuisine that has made Dé Buddha a standout in Scotland, alongside an expanded menu featuring Indian dishes and plenty of gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian choices. The larger kitchen space allows for greater variety than ever before.

Inside, the restaurant showcases traditional prayer wheels and sculptures imported directly from Nepal, while hand-painted murals created over ten days add authenticity and warmth to the dining space.

Takeaway and delivery services are planned for early 2027. The restaurant is located upstairs without lift access.
