Thamel Doner Kebab

Restaurant

👍👍 I had a very high expectation from the place. Well, the taste of the shawarma and their service exceeded my expectations. The best place for Shawarma. They care so much about the authenticity without compromising their customers taste at the same time. Affordable, good portion, balanced taste, too... People often mention chicken, good, taste, Thamel, falafel, shawarma, small, kebab, staff, Kathmandu,

    I had a very high expectation from the place. Well, the taste of the shawarma and their service exceeded my expectations. The best place for Shawarma. They care so much about the authenticity without compromising their customers taste at the same time. Affordable, good portion, balanced taste, too clean, kind and gentle people. Will definitely keep visiting again and again. Highly recommended!

    At first I thought the place had only one table by the side of the road but they have a sitting area inside the building. The taste was refreshing as it had tons of vegetables and vinegar soaked carrots and beetroot and hot sauce on the side. I found the French fries a little too much in the filling but few and small chicken pieces.

    Was looking for something other than traditional local Nepali food and came across this place. Was shocked by how tasty the grilled chicken kebab was!! Very substantial portions and definitely will fill you up, it has a cute sitting area behind once you’ve ordered.

    The best food we have found in Thamel yet. Prices are very good, real tasty and great portion size. Small spot in the front of the shop to sit and watch people pass by. Very friendly staff i will come here again before we leave.

    Searched for the best shawarma joint in Kathmandu, this place showed up. Visited this place and I wasn't disappointed at all. Tried their chicken Shawarma (spicy one) and it was great. I was left quite satisfied by their quality of food. And their service was quick & impressive. Prices were reasonable as the portions were quite generous. The owner is very kind and friendly. Good for a quick bite, as the ambience is cozy & welcoming but small. This place is quite popular among the locals and tourists as well. I wanted a take away too, but the staff advised against it as the saj bread will become soggy and shawarma will not taste as great as it tastes in dine in. Will surely visit again.

    People aren’t kidding when they said this is the best chicken kebab! Super flavourful and fresh. We got an extra side of garlic sauce and used the sweet sauce that was on the table.. pair that with a bit of pickled veg and you have a match made in heaven!!!

    Best value for money restaurant. Great taste, healthy food, really nice staffs. They actually care about the experience customers have. One of the fewest places in Kathmandu where I feel like I am getting the best out of what I am paying for. Love the Falafel wrap (veg) as a vegeterian.

    The food here is possibly one of the best meals I've had in my life. Try the buckwheat falafel, it's a must. Its gluten free and easy on your stomach.

    Gluten free kebab! They can make a buckwheat kebab for you if you require GF food. Very large serving and absolutely delicious. Plenty of comfortable seating out the back. Highly recommend for lunch.

    Small place. Not much to look at however the food is okay and not bad for Thamel pricing. They use olive oil to make food which isn’t something I haven’t seen before in restaurants. The falafel wraps are huge. Yak cheese, tahini, baba ganoush and more as extra which is nice.

    I had the chicken doner (300 rupees) and got it medium spicy which surprised me how spicy it was. Food was delicious, affordable and large! They have a small dining room located down the alley and bring things down when ready if you don't get it to go. Great stop in Kathmandu!

    Lovely staff, incredible food, cute little seating section. Will recommend to anyone from anywhere to come by here. When in season, their mango lassi is a must try. I have been in Nepal for 3 months and come here about twice a week. I have never had digestive problems from their food despite what others might say. Very clean and well maintained place.

    Thamel Doner Kabab is a small eatery joint located in the bustling streets of Thamel, Nepal. Recently, we tried their falafel wrap and it was a treat to our taste buds! The wrap had a perfect blend of flavors that kept our mouths watering for more. The seating area is cozy and comfortable, and the pricing is definitely value for money. We highly recommend the Thamel Doner Kabab to anyone looking to savor some delicious Mediterranean-style cuisine.

    Thamel Doner Kebab was fantastic! The hummus was a hit, and their chicken shawarma is a must-try – it's the best I've had. I also noticed they have buckwheat doner kebab on the menu, which adds a unique twist. I'll definitely be returning for more!

  • 5/5 Prins A. 2 years ago on Google
    Located in the heart of Thamel, Kathmandu. Very friendly staff and excellent service. Food was super fresh and served in a timely manner without any delays. All in all a very good time experience. A MUST try when in Kathmandu.

    Falafel wrap and chicken wrap were everything we wanted and more! Crispy falafel. Amazing flavor. Crammed pack with tasty sauce and veggies. The off road seating area was quiet and intimate! Not to mention serving size was huge! Great bang for your buck. Totally recommend!

    A clean restaurant and delicious food in Tamale. You can eat the best shawarma sandwich and the most delicious falafel sandwich in this place, in addition to various fresh juices. The owner of the restaurant is a really wonderful person.

  • 5/5 Shenay P. 1 year ago on Google
    The chicken wraps here are the best thing I ate here in Kathmandu! The man that worked there (could be the owner im not sure) was also really friendly!

    We ordered FALAFEL WRAP. Every ingredients were all vegetables 🥗. It was so delicious 😋 and was so healthy. F***** good 😎 with fresh orange 🍊 juice.

  • 5/5 Max van E. 1 year ago on Google
    The best falafal I had in Nepal. At first I thought that it was only take away, but they have a small room in the back where you can eat your meal

  • 5/5 Marium K. 1 year ago on Google
    The place looks so unassuming but the food is so good! Totally blown us away. Number one choice for good halal food!

    Its a small Lebanese food outlet with a downsized menu after the lockdown. I went with friends and they tried chicken Shawarma which as per their feedback was not great. I tried veg platter of Pita Bread, hummus and Felafell. It was good. Overall experience was average and food was also average.

  • 3/5 shashi s. 2 years ago on Google
    Maybe i had way higher expectations or maybe it became soggy as i had one to go, i did not enjoy it as much i had expected. The sauce was not consistently spread or something, i felt the balance was off. Will try again just to confirm.

  • 5/5 Gnanesh S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best shawarmas I've ever eaten. The hosts are a couple who are really nice. The shawarma is almost a foot long and there's generous portion of meat. It's served with some veggies. Highly recommend it!
