Best restaurant I've visited in Kathmandu/Thamel district.Fresh ingredients used in all dishes.Well done!
I came here for dinner and had the most amazing cocktails, momos and salad! It was so good that I returned for lunch the next day. Everything is super fresh, tasty and the staff are really friendly. Nice atmosphere to sit and read a book if you’re solo.
I asked AI where I should eat and this was at the top of the list. It did not disappoint incredible food and very attentive friendly staff. You can tell they genuinely care about the food and your experience.
Dining area is so comfortable, nice fresh air, on the rooftop, very cosy outdoor spacious seating space - nice casual ambiance and welcoming atmosphereService is patient and friendly and welcoming, and they also have cute cats around tooOpen kitchen can see everything being cooked , made to order, food is served Nice and warm - absolutely delicious!!Level 4 have to walk up stairs , a bit hard to find at firstKnown for their salad bar with pasta options but I opted for some of their Nepalese optionsAalu Tama Rs 235Vegetarian Momo Rs 290Cashew Cake Rs 390First time trying Aalu Tama— Predominantly sour soup with a kick of hot spice, very comforting perfect for the warm weather, With beans, potatoes, bamboo shoots and lots of spices, loaded with flavour!!I saw the other customers get a green veggie pasta which looked so creamy and delicious so might have to try that next time.Momos were good , filling was quite spicy, well seasoned, the wrapper was nice and thin but held together nicelyCashew cake was sensational, so creamy and smooth- was nutty and velvety like silken tofu texture and the base was so firm, warm, crunchy and nutty with dried fruits, like a granola x carrot cake mixture and had a sweetness to it which wasn’t overpowering but complemented the dessert really wellHighly recommend would come back
The food is excellent. They offer different options (not only vegetarian). The sesame chicken and paparita chicken were awesome. You can taste the freshness of their ingredients. The staff is very friendly and will make sure that you will have a great time! Hands down one of the best restaurants in Kathmandu.
I passed by this vegetarian restaurant, it looked nice, and it turns out they have amazing food!I ordered an avocado salad, I almost finished it, even though I was a small eater!And the restaurant was partial outdoor seating with a plenty of plants inside which was super relaxing
Sooo good and healthy. And vibe is on point! Had the best service and it’s so cozy…there was even a blanket for the colder nights here. Definitely coming back!
Delicious food here, in a nice and quiet upstairs garden.We had momos, a salad, cheese balls and pasta. All were absolute delicious!!Highly reccomened this restaurant if you are in Kathmandu and you want something fresh, healthy and delicious :)
