The greatest perk of the restuarant is a beatufiul view on the Taumadhi square. The food is good, although a bit pricey.

Sadly, we had an almost in edible meal here. We ordered fried rice (which was burned) and a Newari set meal (cold and lacking nice spice and flavor. It was the first day of the festival and likely help was hard to find. The service was good and the rooftop view nice.

Dwarika's Hotel

Reviewed By Michael F

Was worried when the car turned off the congested dusty road into the non descript driveway. Then the front doors to the lobby opened and wow... A beautiful authentic vibrant hotel was exactly what we saw. The hotel is everything you would want in Katmandu. The people, food and atmosphere were excellent. Nice pool, spa and restaurants. Rooms are great and decorated to go with the hotel. The Nepalese restaurant was excellent. The birds are loud but not at all a negative. Wonderful hotel i would recommend to all.

Shiva's Cafe Corner

The culinary delights here range from Newari and Nepali Dal Bhat to Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Indian and Continental delicacies. And when comes the question of the quality of our culinary offerings. We never forget Hygiene is our top priority. Adding to the mesmerizing ambience, we also have min-garden from which you can savor the splendor of nature's graciousness all around on the south, the bliss you feel at Shiva's cafe corner is something different. We do have Himalayan organice beans, instant, and filter coffee and also available italian LAVAZZA coffee. With additional different flavours of organice herbal tea.

I can’t actually review the food because they weren’t serving any. October is peak tourist season in Nepal & this restaurant is part of a hotel & in Durbar Sq but they were only serving drinks. October is basically a month of festivals in Nepal & having been here 2 months I know businesses struggle to keep their staff over festival time but if you are in the top 5 on trip advisor then this isn’t acceptable, find replacements or do it yourself.

We came here for lunch. Monsoon season so most of the view was cloud(!) but we still appreciated the panoramic nature of it. The staff were friendly and the food was tasty. I especially enjoyed the chocolate pancake (we asked to have it with banana whicn was amazing).
My partner was really impressed by the size of the carrot and Apple salad. Simple but tasty.
The toilet wasn't great.

I popped in here most mornings in Kathmandu because it provided the most consistently good coffee. The food is main fare and good. It's also a good place to rest up if shopping in Thamel.

We took here lunch and dinner, as we were sleeping at Bhaktapur.
As Lunch was good and owner very attentive, we decided to take as well dinner there instead to have bad surprise on an other restaurant.
Nepali Tali was delicious.
Momo and paneer pakora was good and for children they had some good burgers.
The location gave us some rest with a peaceful garden

We stopped here for a late lunch and we were blown away by the food. It was very tasty, super fresh, and a nice change from Dal-bhat. The brown rice and the vegetables were absolutely delicious. One of our favorite meals in Kathmandu, by far!

Kutumba Restaurant

Reviewed By Diane L

We were only able to eat at the hotel because we arrived the day of the 7.9 earthquake and everything was in turmoil--except for the Hotel Heritage. We received excellent service and delicious meals despite the difficult circumstances. The hotel was safe and had a generator so we had all the amenities we needed.
