Nepali Specialties

Come here to escape the hustle and bustle of Thamel! We had the pour over coffee and were free to pay whatever amount we want to.

Tried both the Nepali chicken set and Tibetan vegetarian set. Both were good!

So satisfying! The chicken was moist and well marinated. Portion was hearty as it was served with chunky fries and coleslaw.

Khaja is a popular Newari cuisine that is commonly found in Kathmandu Valley. I tried the chicken curry set that came with chiura (flattened/beaten rice), bhatmas sadheko (crunchy fried soya beans with mixed spices), aloo sadheko (steamed potatoes with mixed spices), pickled bittergourd and gundruk (pickled leafy vegetables). The chiura has an interesting texture and is very chewy ... good exercise for the jaws! I liked the chicken curry and aloo sadheko best as both were very flavorful.
