    Drinks 🍸 were good but priced a bit above local standards. The live performances were great. Excellent music!!!

    Tea is simply bad. Interior is kinda okay. It would have been nice if it were more specious. Choir la Kathmandu with fish was nice.

    Its one of the best place for candle light dinners.. The ambience is cozy and warm. The workers here are service-oriented and soft spoken. Here, i always had the best food experience with exquisite desserts.. This place is a bit costly given by the location but its worth the food and service with warm welcome.

    Liked the ambience and food. Went there for a breakfast on weekday so it were not many people. The garden is not so big and is full of plants and trees. All in all it was a good place to try out.

    Came here after 5years and it still feels the same. The place was nice, we were assisted to the table of our choice outdoor. The waiter took our dinner preferences and repeated so its correct. My Mulled wine was nice and flavourful though it was served in a tumbler. The Platter that we ordered was so delicious,you could have a taste of everything. The chicken strips were amazingly crispy yet juicy. The spicy chicken wings were indeed spicy. The nachos could have been better. It would be better if they had more staff so we wouldn't have to wait to grab the attention of the busy waiters who were nice. Oh! AMAZING Cheesecake!!!!

    Great ambiance. It’s a quiet, relaxed setting in the heart of thamel. The menu has many great options for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We went there several times during our time in Kathmandu. We always found staff to be very welcoming and responsive.

    Went for dinner. Beautiful restaurant with great ambiance. They made an error on my wife's dinner, and the chef came out and personally apologized and quickly remade the dish. The food was delicious and the portions just right. Would highly recommend.

    Great vibes, great location, great music, great food and drinks, great service. I just loved the place. This cafe is in Thamel and isn't easily seen from the main road. A little search and you will be amazed by the setup. Not to be missed when in Thamel.

    Such a great restaurant in the heart of Thamel. It's cozy, the ambience is authentic and has both indoor and outdoor dining options. They have a great selection of continental and Thai dishes. We tried their fries, grilled meat platter, Thai red curry and desserts. Everything met the expectations. Yummyluscious 😋. The premise is clean, and the staffs are super friendly. PS. They have varieties of bakeries and drinks to choose from :)

    Food and drink was very disappointing. The mixed juice tasted like is came out of a bottle and was very expensive for a glass of mainly ice. The chips were floury. I expected more for premium price.

    As one of my last nights in Nepal I ate at New Orleans Cafe as I heard the great live music from the street, plus it was literally under my hotel window. A great atmosphere and as a solo traveller I let myself enjoy this for a while and the waiter was great checking in when nrrdef. I ordered Dahl soup, rice and spinach, along with 2 iced mint lemonade. It was perfect for not having eaten all day and just hit the spot. The one star is because a few hours later I've experienced the worst food poisoning ever, and it's bad. Instead of spending my last day in Kathmandu enjoying walking around and shopping, am still in bed and can't get up for fear of not being near the bathroom and full body pain. Got a cracking migraine and it's going to be a slow day. Uff. Not happy, I feel vile and it's a lousy last day. I've been super careful with my water sources is the last 8 weeks and well, this is just next level.

    Nice vibe, especially in the evening. Cozy spot with a garden in the middle of hectic Thamel. Recommend their beef steaks.

    Great atmosphere and service. Good value. Good breakfast food. We’ll make this our breakfast restaurant while we’re here.

  • 5/5 S V. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice little restaurant in the touristy Thamel section of Kathmandu. Food was good and at a good price and the staff was friendly and attentive. Probably one of the nicer places in the area.

  • 5/5 Gurpreet D. 5 months ago on Google
    This was one of the best cafes that I happened to visit in Thamel, Nepal. My close friend took me to this place and I had a delicious Vegetarian sandwich here along with lemonade. I really loved the taste of food and would like to revisit this place in future.

  • 5/5 Daniel W. 2 years ago on Google
    New Orleans is consistently excellent. I nice range of meals, but the lamb is especially good. Very much enjoyed the house wine, the cheesecake and the brownie tonight.

  • 5/5 Emily S. 7 months ago on Google
    Been here a few times now for dinner and lunch. Their courtyard area is lovely and staff are all very friendly. I have had the grilled fish on two occasions which was just delicious

  • 5/5 Lorena F. 1 year ago on Google
    I stayed in the apartment above the Café that belongs to New Orleans during my stay in Katmandu. I really enjoyed both, the apartment and the restaurant downstairs. The location and the vibes of the staff are excellent. Thank you

  • 4/5 Fahad Bin A. 1 year ago on Google
    One of our favorite places in Thamel. The place is cozy and serves great food like most other restaurants in Thamel which are focused on Tourists rather than locals. Like most other restaurants in Thamel, there is no parking space, apart from spaces for a few motorcycles.

    Very good food, sometimes the meat (buf) is tough, I understand that it depends on the raw material and the cooking. Good atmosphere!

  • 4/5 Aqsa S. 1 year ago on Google
    A cozy cafe in the bustling Thamel area of Kathmandu. All their dishes were good. I tried Prawns, fish, potatoes. Soft drinks can be improved. The place had live music and fireplace. Nice vibes. Waiters afe friendly.

  • 4/5 Santosh M. 1 year ago on Google
    New Orleans Cafe I recommend for 👉 good food 👉 good service 👉 venue "cozy, silent" Vishal - you were Courteous and made sure you check on us if anything was required. Thank you for making sure I get warm glass of water & on time. What I tried when I visited 👇 👉Chicken Choila 👉Chicken Momo Both I must say were delicious. If you are travelling to Kathmandu or you are the local. Give it a try & you will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Barun G. 1 year ago on Google
    This place never goes wrong. Specially, I'm a fan of the evening vibe here. Musical candle light dinner with foods done right. Mulled wine is my personal favourite.

  • 5/5 Nuray K. 1 year ago on Google
    I was very happy to see such a quality venue in Kathmandu. There was live music on Friday evening. It was a very nice musical feast. The place is very clean and attentive. The meals are delicious. Congratulations to the company and its employees. Thanks 🙏

  • 1/5 Chris N. 1 year ago on Google
    Although the ambience of this establishment was very nice, customer service was completely absent. It appeared that the manager/owner preferred to seat and serve pretty single women while leaving the rest to wait without even a glimpse of acknowledgement of our presence. It's very sad because the place looks so nice and welcoming. We eventually left without getting an order.

  • 4/5 Yana D. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere is nice and attractive but we were waiting for the waiter around 15 min just to make order. After our coffee arrived a little bit warm (not hot at all!) this things were a bit disappointing... Otherwise it is good.

  • 4/5 Stephen S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice ambience. Visit here for breakfast and brunch in thamel. The cafe late is okay okay hehe :)

  • 5/5 Rai F. 2 years ago on Google
    This restaurant will go out of their way to treat you like family! I was traveling alone, and went for dinner almost every night (Definitely try the chicken satay). The food was so tasty, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. At New Orleans Café, I found my family away from home! Thank you so much! 10/10!!!

  • 2/5 priya b. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place with relaxing ambience in middle of Thamel but the service from the staff was disappointing. The wait staff didn't let us place our order properly and seemed in a hurry. The interaction felt quite rude as per my perspective so didn't have Lunch. However cheese cake was yummy and fluffy

  • 3/5 nyice1 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered the steak and had to send it back. Very tough steak. Ordered the lemon chicken with mashed potatoes. The chicken flavor was good but the mashed potatoes tasted like they were out of a box with a cardboard flavor no type of gravy for the mashed potatoes. The vegetables were very good and cooked perfectly.

  • 5/5 Bhanu S. 4 years ago on Google
    A really good place to spend some quality time with friends and family. The ambience is beautiful and calming. The service is really great and the staff here are always friendly and on call. The good is good and well served however, the dishes are on the expensive end .

  • 4/5 Sayl J. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the ambience, loved the food but hospitality must be improved. You need friendly staff for customers to feel respected and valued. The staff are not rude but they are not friendly either. Its like a bunch of robots working.
