Perfect for Truly Local, Inexpensive Nepali Food

Feb 2020 • solo

For those seeking the truly authentic local style food in Nepal, and not requiring fancy atmosphere and decor, here's your next meal or two. Food is inexpensive, delicious, and simple. Staff is friendly and attendent. Definitely eat here while in KTM. I already have 3x.

This restaurant was across from our hotel, Hotel Friends Home, the food was excellent and the service even better. We ate here many times during our stay. Our server Nima offered incredible service with a smile.

Cheap, Local spot

Dec 2019 • couples

Located upstairs, Thakali is basic, local joint serving up large portions for little Rupees. Not many tourists but English menus and friendly staff. Typical Nepali dishes.

Tourists welcome to taste a little of traditional urban Nepal.

Nov 2019 • none

In the streets of Thamel venture upstairs through the non-glamourous entrance and into a bit of real urban Nepal. More authentic than other places we ate with Nepali prices to match the Nepali food. Vegetable dhal bhat was excellent as was the service to replenish the dishes if wanted. Lots of Nepali dishes available. Cold Nepali beer to complement the meal. Atmosphere and temperature warmed us on a cold evening.

Seems genuine

Oct 2019 • none

Nestled upstairs from the street (go past the ATM’s jink left and up the stairs) this does seem to be genuine Nepalese food. When we were there we were the only Westerners there. Mo Mo were very good, and we also tried the special thali. When it arrived, we thought we had been short-changed, but what we did not realize is that the waiter would then reappear to offer refills of everything except the meat. Not all of it was to our taste (bitter gourd specially), but we thought it very tasty and well cooked.

Nested in the centre of Thamel, we were lucky to stumble upon this jewel which served decent Nepalese Cuisine. Price is reasonable. Service was prompt as the staff was attentive to our request and question.

First contact with Dal Bhat

May 2019 • couples

This was our first dinner in Kathmandu and was a good choice indeed, our first contact with the local traditional dish: Dhal Bhat! The restaurant is a little bit out of the standard tourist paths and the atmosphere is a little more Nepalese; many local people come here to have dinner and actually it was recommended to us from a Nepalese. We really enjoyed the Dahl Bhat, it was not so spicy and the vegetables tasty and, of course, you can have free refill :) Worth a dinner, also for the cheap price compared with food quality.
