Welcoming Nepalese spot near the castle serving standout momos, thukpa, and curries at wallet-friendly prices; service is kind though occasional slow or inconsistent nights happen.
Restaurant Summary
Steps from the castle paths, this little room feels warm and welcoming rather than flashy. Reviews paint a picture of kind, family-style service and steaming baskets of momos arriving fast. One diner gushed, "We left beyond full and smiling." However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggesting certain reviews may be solicited or influenced. The cooking leans classic Nepalese-Indian comfort: handmade momos, thukpa, thali, naans, and gentle curries. Most praise the balance and freshness, though a few found certain curries sweet or under-spiced. It suits travelers after hearty, familiar flavors more than culinary theater, with prices that stay friendly even in this historic neighborhood. For families, staff are notably accommodating—one table received simple sides for an infant, and there is plenty kids will eat: plain rice, naan, mild chicken, and veggie noodles. No formal kids menu, but portions are generous and you can request mild seasoning.
