What is Thukpa?

Thukpa is a traditional Himalayan noodle soup that’s as comforting as it is flavourful. Originating from Tibet and widely loved in Nepal, it blends the warmth of a hearty broth with the boldness of Himalayan spices. It’s especially popular in colder regions for its soul-warming quality and nourishing ingredients.

At Old Durbar, our version of Thukpa brings authentic Nepalese flavours to Melbourne. We prepare it with a base of spiced broth, loaded with noodles, fresh vegetables, and your choice of meat or tofu. It’s aromatic, slightly spicy, and deeply satisfying – the kind of meal that warms your hands and your heart.

Whether you’re craving comfort food or exploring Nepalese cuisine for the first time, Thukpa is the perfect bowl to begin with.

What Makes Old Durbar’s Thukpa Special?

Our recipe brings together the warmth of a mountain home and the buzz of a Kathmandu food stall. Every spoonful is layered with texture, flavour, and heart:

  • Silky noodles nestled in spiced, savoury broth
  • Fresh seasonal veggies sautéed to perfection
  • Nepalese-style spice mix with just the right kick
  • Or choose chicken, beef, or vegetarian/vegan options

It’s the kind of dish that feels like a hug on a rainy day – especially during Melbourne’s cool evenings.
