I'd say the food is average. I had the khana set which is a popular item here. It tasted like a home cooked meal with some items a bit overcooked but not bad to taste. The service here is probably the quickest i have ever seen, i would assume they had everything precooked since we ordered the most ordered item on the menu. Loved the atmosphere the most.

Thakali is local Nepali Crusine. On our recent visit to Kathmandu a friend took us to this place to try the Thakhali Thali. This place was highly recommended for their authentic taste. We really enjoyed the food and had a good time. The staff were very attentive and we got great service.

One of the most premium Nepali Khana set you will ever find in KTM , but hard to say thakali , taste has been upgraded to fancier version of thakali. Taste is amazing , foods are fresh and healthy. Even eating a lot won't hurt your belly. The service person was amazing. He made sure everything we got in time. I recommend to use authentic thakali rice instead of long grain rice.

Lots of people recommended me this place. But my visit to this place was very disappointing. This photo speaks for itself. The customer service was average. I felt staffs are faking their accent. Rather it should be typical Nepali thali set. The owner should focus more on the portion of food you are serving. We got one piece of mula ko achar and two piece of meat. The taste of the overall foods were average too. Nothing special. Sorry to say but very dissapointing.

Good place to visit when you want authentic Nepali thali as well as Nepali food. They serve food in old style Nepali utensils so really enjoyed that. The thali was also really good. We also ordered hot chocolate, lassi & veg pakora. Hot chocolate was just 🤌. Can you see the perfect lining of the hot chocolate w. the layers in the picture lol. The lassi was also really good with a perfect balance of everything.The pakora was also really good.

Thakali food cannot get better than this. Beautiful place with interior actually reflecting lands around Thak-khola (in Mustang, the roots of Thakali food). Hospitable staffs, good food, and most importantly value for money. Both Outdoor seating and indoor seating are equally comfortable. Highly recommended!

Love the ambiance and the food. Would rate 4 or even 5 if the waiter are more interactive with the customers

Nice ambiance but very bad service, the waiters and staffs are irresponsive, long wait for orders even in odd hours, food was fine!

I loved this place, sitting space is bit dark and looks old but I loved their food. Specially, chicken curry.

Tried to surprise my sister for her 19th birthday party. I even talked over the phone and asked for permission if it was ok for the decorations. They said it was fine. Later when the decoration people came they said that they are not allowed to decorate as the interior is very expensive. If it was in the first place then why didn’t they tell me directly. Decoration people were telling me that they were rude.This is so unprofessional. I will not recommend anyone in this place because this place ruined my sister’s birthday surprise. Special day should be valued.

Fantastic location , food, service, ambience ... all top class. Must visit for Nepali thali and don't forget to get local beer.

The best Local Nepali Foods we can have in Nepal. You can order vegetarian set if you like.

My worst Thakali experience. Missed salads and curd. Their response to our question were as if we were any uninvited guest in a party. The waiter literally put thalis on the table and told us to distribute ourselves. I'd would have done it anyways but he shouldn't be telling us to do so. Also when complained about our dissatisfaction, the staffs didn't care about it. Not even an apology. Proudness of 25 years ain't taking you anywhere if you continue behaving customers like this.

Their vegetarian thali was just phenomenal

Food is good but i think the oil they use is not suited for everyone. ( Since we were having nepali food for the first time.. ) We had a stomach ache after 1 hour but otherwise the taste was good while eating . The ambience is also perfect. The service was good.

Well this place is good for relaxed but foods are not really what we expect good quality and healthy. like compare to place decoration and price food service dishes are use like local place like highway of the road .But honestly service and staff is so nice and place is well decoration and good atmosphere for chill out .

Very good thali ... chef knows what he was doing... each and every item was well seasoned and cooked! Very friendly and efficient service... would go back ...

I took my mom cuz she likes to eat mutton and apparently tukuche has mutton momo. Ever since she had it, we keep on going there atleast once a week. Yes it was that good. And let's not forget about their thali, as always, amazing.

Worst customers care and management services, people get treated on the basis of there status.(clothes,looks) 25th may approx 1.30pm Several waiter came, they took order as well...we waited 30 to 45 min but didn't come.. we walked out... We had ordered veg thali and other...... ........

I recently visited this Thakali restaurant and unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my experience. To start, the ambiance was lackluster and uninviting - the decor was outdated and the lighting was too bright, making it feel more like a cafeteria than a restaurant. But the real disappointment came with the food. I ordered the Thakali set, which is supposed to be the restaurant's specialty, and I was underwhelmed to say the least. The daal was watery and lacked any depth of flavor, the rice was overcooked and mushy, and the chicken curry was dry and flavorless. To make matters worse, the service was slow and inattentive. Our server seemed disinterested and didn't check on us once throughout the meal. Overall, I would not recommend this Thakali restaurant. The food was bland and poorly executed, and the ambiance and service left a lot to be desired. There are much better options out there for those looking to enjoy authentic Nepali cuisine.

Tukche Thakali Kitchen is a family-owned Nepalese restaurant in Kathmandu that is known for its high quality and unique flavour. The whole idea was to provide tourists with an opportunity to enjoy genuine home-cooked Thakali cuisine while visiting Nepal. The emphasis is on local ingredients found in the city, but many of the components used in the restaurant are also obtained from villages in the Kali Gandaki region, such as Tukche village. This restaurant's ambience has a Thakali feel to it, and it is the ideal environment in which to enjoy genuine Thakali cuisine.

Great ambience. ❤ I think the portion of thali was a bit less other wise it is ok. Above average thakali 👌👌 There should be a bit big board of this place or many people misses this place due to small hoarding board.

The ambiance of the place was great. They have really done a lot to give the customers an authentic thakali dining experience. Went in for a late lunch on Saturday, and the place was packed. Got seated without the tables being cleaned. Had to wait for 10 minuets for them just to clean up. Not what I expected form a place that was highly recommend to me. Ordered the thakali set, as was recommended to me. The dal and chicken from the set was very salty. So salty, I could not finish it. That was a deal breaker. Did not enjoy the experience. Will update, if i go back.

Thakali khana is good, service is also good. We can get here to enjoy quality khana with friends and family. Parking here is free and can get really crowded in the office hours. The price here is slightly on a higher side. Highly recommended mutton thali khana. Note: you do not get additional "mashu ko jhol" for free. 😭

Tukehe Thakali Kitchen receives a glowing review with its scrumptious food, inviting ambiance, and friendly staff. The delicious flavors of their dishes leave customers delighted, while the pleasant environment enhances the dining experience. The attentive and accommodating staff make patrons feel welcome and valued. Moreover, the restaurant excels in prompt delivery service, ensuring customers' satisfaction even for takeout orders. Tukehe Thakali Kitchen is undoubtedly a standout eatery, offering a delightful culinary journey combined with excellent service. With its delectable cuisine, warm atmosphere, and efficient service, it undoubtedly earns its place among the best dining options in town.

Too much to wait for food, the quality had degraded over time and mostly in busy hours. The hospitality is good though.

Some how disappointed with the Thakali Khana set. May be we were expecting typical Thakali Khana where could not find the taste in Gundruk ko achar, the Karela was kind of boiled stuff, Quality of Rice....that's not thakali at all. Dido was good though. Yet mutton was very disappointing. Needs to work on Authenticity of Thakali Quality.

It's a really great place and the great food but the foods are not kids friendly. For those who like spicy food, the food may be good but for me it was like a tortoure eating hit and spicy food. The place is perfect to bring kids but need to take your own food as the food i feel is spicy and i asked the staff why it is so hot and ho replied that normally in Thakeli the food is hot but i been to so many thakali and had great foods.

I wouldn't suggest this place to those who enjoy the traditional Thakali food experience with additional curries or side desserts. The restaurant limits customers when it comes to ordering additional curry, and they seemed reluctant even when we made a request. Furthermore, they don't offer any sauf. And also price differs in bill from what is written on the menu.I have no intention of returning to this restaurant. Ps. Server dai was nice.

I recently had the opportunity to dine at a highly touted Thakali restaurant in town, and unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. Despite the hype surrounding this place, I found it to be a disappointment in terms of both ambience and food quality. Let's start with the ambience, or rather, the lack thereof. The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a gloomy and uninspiring atmosphere. There was no eletricity, the tables were too close together, and the overall decor seemed outdated and uninviting. Moving on to the food, I was eager to try their Thakali cuisine, which is known for its bold flavors and unique dishes. Unfortunately, the dishes served here were anything but impressive. The menu promised authentic Thakali flavors, but what arrived at my table was a far cry from the vibrant and flavorful dishes I had expected. They didn't serve curd with non-veg Thakali. Veg Thakali only had a mix of vegetable for such an overrated price. No mushroom. No Paneer. They claimed they used local rice grain but the rice grains were too mushy and broken. I ordered the Thakali thali, hoping to sample a variety of dishes. The meal was served with a lackluster assortment of items that tasted bland and lacked the rich flavors that are characteristic of Thakali cuisine. The portions were also disappointingly small, especially considering the prices charged. In conclusion, I was thoroughly disappointed with my visit to this overrated Thakali restaurant. The lackluster ambience, subpar food, and unimpressive service made for an unpleasant lunch experience. Given the hype surrounding this place, my expectations were high, but they were sadly not met. I would caution anyone considering dining here to manage their expectations and perhaps explore other options (Jimbu Thakali could be a better choice which is just 2 mins walk from Tukche Thakali) for an authentic Thakali dining experience.

It was a very pleasant experience of having thakali cuisine at this restaurant. Totally loved the food and the service. The ambience is ideal for a family gathering, a casual meet or a date. Recommended!

The Thakali food was average, to be honest, and nothing particularly special. The place is lovely, with both indoor and garden areas. The staff were super friendly; we had a small baby with us, and the staff dai was kind enough to offer parenting tips.

Had a fantastic evening at this restaurant! The warmth from burners created a cozy vibe even at night. The food was authentically delicious, and the service was top-notch. The outdoor ambiance added a great energy to the overall. Absolutely loved the concept and taste of phaper sticks. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic time at local Thakali. The food was delicious, the service was t quick , and the atmosphere was comfortable. We had chicken thakali set and momo and both were full of flavours. Highly recommend for a wonderful dining experience!

This place serves very delicious Thanali food, except that this place also serves amazing other food items; but lots of improvements needed to be done is food items, especially on veg items. Place is very hygiene and clean. Separate cabinet are also available for your privacy. There is no problem with parking. This place is little premium but it worths it. Amazing place, take away is also available

Service was good but average taste.

Decent local food. It has good parking space and a place for kids to play as well.

Nice and authentic food with perfect smiling hospitality . It was worth coming.

Nice food.. nice ambience.. great parking space.. loved it.

OMG! what can I say about Tukuche. Some finger licking thali's available here. You won't stop eating out here because the food is just so delicious. If you're in Kathmandu, you have to check out this place for it's food.

One is the best deal bhat places in town for over the last 20+ years! Conviently located.

One of the best places for Nepalese food. Service is exceptional here. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for local cuisine

Just went to the new branch in Jhamsikhel, which just opened next to Roadhouse. Fantastic, and the environment is open and clean, with of course, signature great service. Loved it! But they should update Google maps soon, to get this review in the right place :)

Great place for traditional Nepalese platter ( thali). The staff were very friendly and attested to our needs in no time with regards to heating (as it's winter) and refills ( for the plate items). Their momos are plain and less fatty too!

Excellent ambience, good set up, authentic Nepali Veg and non veg food, Barasinghe beer, service... Must go.

The Thakali set was average for a restaurant that is named as Thakali kitchen but the appetizers were pretty good; mostly the mutton bhutan, khotey momo and aloo sadeko. The service was pretty good and the amabinace is nice.

Authentic Nepalese food and taste. The ambiance is really nice and the outdoor seating area is also comfortable, although sitting outside in the summer would be difficult. Once a visit for sure if you’re in Kathmandu!

We had a bummer experience at this place. A complete nightmare spot for thakali gastronome . First of all, food was not on highway standard in terms of taste-wise. Saag was bland it has got zero salt mutton curry was tasteless and undercooked it was hard and chewy texture other sides are below average. We waited 5 min to ask the waiter for ghee to be served. We ordered Pangra fry as a starter which was served after we were almost over with thakali set. Pangra fry was literally Deep fried small 10 chunks of pangra with seasoning on the side. Another worst pangra fry I had in my life. Went to the washroom to wash our hands water was yellowish and orangish colour asked the server reason behind it they told us they just turn on the water motor😂😂😂😂

Food is OK but not worth the price.

Chicken khana set was delicious. The meat flavours were flavorful and on point.The two kakro and golveda achars were spicy. The musuri daal was very good combining with the basmati rice they served. The service was very good and pretty fast this time.

I wish I could leave 4.5 stars but everyone has a room to improve on. It is my second time here. Initially came here in 2018 during my visit to Nepal. Over the years, I distinctly remembered the chicken momo they served was excellent. Fast forward five years ahead, that little heavenly pieces of momos again was the highlight of my second visit (for me). Mutton choila lacked punch in spices. So was bit underwhelming for my taste buds. My primary was the jerky (mutton) meat but they had ran out of it. Veg thali which my Mrs had, according to her, was tasty too. The only niggle that we found was the portion size. Now, it could be that Thali is supposed to be served in a smaller portion but here I observed the portion was below the average serving size. Again this is ours perception, so as the saying goes, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. The rest was really great. Sweet lassi was light, crisp and cold just perfect for summer. French fries (chips) was as goog as it can be. My guests had veg momo, chow mein and chicken fried rice. They all liked it and in particular - yet again the (veg) momo came out on the top. You guys should never change the momo recipe unless you guys can improve the recipe, which I think is a huge challenge. Lastly, thank you for the great food, atmosphere and quality service. Until next time 👋.

They've grown lazy in their service having been give the crown as the best Thakali in the city. Even their Wifi doesn't work most of the time. Food is passable and with even more Thakali places opening in the city, their appeal drops down further. Parking is a mess and don't be surprised if they leave your car keys in some other car as their Valet service is hopeless. Their only saving grace is that Jimbu, their closest competitor in the area is also not as consistent in their quality. Just pray the papad the serve you isn't like roti. Because it usually is.

Today morning my husband and I visited this restaurant to have lunch. But this restaurant also turns to be one of those that has "thakali" in its name. The authenticity has declined. Waiter doesn't serve food on time.

Food has somewhat downgraded than offered previously, especially thakali set.. Nevertheless, food is still.decent.

Best ambiance, best food, best service... The most beautiful thing about this place is those beautiful trees.. Mango tree and many others ❤️❤️u can breathe pure air sitting under tree and enjoy your food❤️❤️ my favourite place ❤️

Good place and food but after visiting repeatedly, I found this place is lacking growth, ones it was the place to be, one of old establishment, now with many options nearby it had to do something to retain customers. Now in Kathmandu for Thakali food good is not enough it need to best.

It was my first experience there as a thakali lover so was pretty excited as one of my friend recommeded me to try otherwise my all time fav place is lazimpat cafe de tukche. Was so excited at the begining before the arrival of the food. We ordered mutton dhedo and chicken thali and honestly speaking it was so disappointing that the mutton jhol was like hell, no taste (salt chai feel vako thyo) and the mutton was not cooked well and gundruk ko achat has the taste of red chilli and nothing else. I had to search for the staff to provide me for the service and additional meal. Ambience was good. Thanks 🙏

Thakalii cuisine do have distinct taste. I really love the ambience . Sitting sunny courtyard having the lunch was mesmerizing time . Although the food variety in veg was not up to the mark and taste from old tukuche to new vary . I think management should improve the standard should on the base pf pricing as well . Variety was less than normal places
