    Very tasty, cheap Indian, Nepali, Chinese cuisine in the heart of Thamel. Staff were very friendly. Food is so fantastic that I returned there 3 times for dinner. Recommend mutton kadai and the chicken tandoori.

    I am man from England and I eat a lot of Indian food. This place is sensational! Order the mutton kadai and ask for it spicy with their special spicy chutney. It's Amazing off the bone deliciousness. (The gorka strong is cheap too) Enjoy.

    Best Indian restaurant I’ve visited whilst staying in Thamel at a super affordable price. Chicken tikka masala comes with a generous portion and gravy is the start of the show. Garlic naan was done to high quality standard not to heavy and very authentic. Most places over look the rice here they make it perfectly. Shout out to the super friendly staff on hand highly recommend this establishment

    Great food, but watch your head. Delicious food, went several times and want to go back. Paneer masala, palak paneer, butter chicken, chicken karahi, chili momos, garlic naan and lachha paratha, I can recommend all of it. Even their milk tea is great. Staff and owner are also nice. Popular among locals and tourists alike.

    We came across this place by accident as we were walking by. Best food during our stay in Kathmandu. We had chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. We liked it so much that went back for a snack and had fried chicken momos. Delicious and excellent service too.

    As the name itself says, this restaurant is settled in an old structured building with wooden windows and narrow wooden steps. However, do not be deceived by its looks. The food they serve here is really good and reasonably priced. I personally suggest their tawa roti, which is really thin and light.

    This is a hidden treasure, don't let restaurant front and decoration fools you. It's the best chicken tikka I've aver tried in kathmandu, I've been here more than 3 times already.

    Wonderful experience. I was ordering delivery. The representative helped me pick out what I wanted to order - kadhai chicken and garlic naan. He was very helpful. Delivery was prompt and the food was very tasty. I had asked for low spice and the spice was very mild as per my request. I had a great experience and highly recommend the restaurant.

    Kadai Paneer, Paneer Masala, Naan and rice were so delicious. Best Indian food we had so far in Nepal after 1.5 months! However, the atmosphere is not great. The roof top terrace is probably the best option.

    Super good Indian and Nepali food! We had chicken chilly, butter chicken, paneer masala and jeera rice. All of them were delicious and on point. On top the mango lasso is exceptionally good. Congrats to the chef and thank you for the kind service!

  • 5/5 frances m. 6 months ago on Google
    Exceptional tandoori! We are finding a very common theme here with food, the more fancy the place looks, the more basic the food. This place is just a small hole in the wall style restaurant serving amazing food! We had a great view onto the street to people watch while we ate and the tikka chicken was exceptional. Highly recommend

    We were looking for somewhere close to our hotel for dinner to celebrate my birthday and we found this little gem. We had a private room overlooking the busy streets of Thamel. The food was good and the service was friendly/efficient.

    Edit: came a second time. While the food was delicious, the service was terrible. I ordered my food, it came, and I never saw anyone for over an hour. They just completely forgot I was in the restaurant I guess. Worst service I’ve had in Kathmandu unfortunately. Delicious chicken tikka and garlic naan, and the food is affordable. I’ll definitely be back here!

    My sister and I came her twice during our time in Kathmandu- once before trekking and once when we returned. We wanted it to be our first meal back in the city because it was so delicious the first time. We got palak paneer and mutter paneer masala with naan and roti. It was so amazing (coming from two people who eat a lot of Indian food- this really stuck out to us). We even were served on a day they were not officially open because they were short staffed because of Tihar. They called a chef to come and cook especially for us- the hospitality is unmatched and the quality of food leaves nothing to be desired. The price is also really cheap compared to other restaurants in the area. Perfect place!!
