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.

El Mediterraneo

First Spanish Restaurant in Kathmandu, Nepal with the experience of a fine dine along with variety of tapas and mediterranean cuisine.

Reviewed By Michael H - Fargo, North Dakota

I have eaten at El Mediterraneo several times now and the food is affordable, delicious, and fairly priced. I’ve met the owner twice and have even had complimentary dessert given. This is a nice restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and ambiance and it despite the food being eccentric, it won’t break your budget.

Café Swotha welcomes you for All-day breakfasts, lunch, tea break (try the most famous cheese cake in town!), and dinner. From 7am to 9pm- Free WIFI

Tucked away on one of the streets leading away from the bustling Durbar Square in Patan, this cafe is part of the larger traditional guest house set-up and offers a sense of calm and peace with a little garden all to itself.
Food was delicious and we got to sample the local Nepali thali which was served in a lovely bronze/brass set of cutlery. Their pasta was amazing too. Sankar, the lone waiter, is polite, helpful and brisk with his ability run the place well.
The pricing is definitely upscale compared to the smaller cafes in Patan but worth a visit for some peace and flavors.

Rosemary Kitchen & Coffee Shop

NAMASTE- welcome to the place of excellence! "Food for the body is not enough.

Wow that bruchetta was to die for. Really flavorful. I will remember that for a long time. The staff were very welcoming. It's a neat place in the heart of asan shopping district. Great garden, private atmosphere for lunch and dinner. Will be back here next year.

Mahaaja

Reviewed By NZKateNJake

The food here is so delicious! The tofu was unlike any tofu we've had before in the way it was prepared.
The wasabi actually has a hit!
My mouth waters when I think about the okonomiyaki.
Their Japanese green tea was very tasty.
We were in Japan in march and we were not disappointed with the food here.
Staff are very friendly and the food came out quickly.
Recommend to all.
Only area for improvement is the edamame, which was overlooked.

Western Tandoori

Reviewed By OBK2014 - Istanbul, Turkey

Perfect example of what happens when places like this get hyped on tripadvisor. Everybody goes there and make themselves believe its fantastic. It's nothing special though. It's not bad either, and yes, it's quite cheap. But food here is really not that special. Mediocre at best, more or less what you'd eat in cheap Indian eateries in Europe. There's way better Indian food around, for those that look a tiny bit further than Thamel. Gupta Bhojanalaya on Chetrapati, for example.

Thamel caters to tourists, so many of its restaurants feature international fare. The problem with that is getting the proper ingredients when they really aren't accessible in Nepal. Thus, your best restaurants in Nepal tend to be the ones that specialize in Indian and Nepali...MoreThanks for your encouraging review. You are right about the difficulty in getting some ingredients ... and they can be very expensive as well. We try to reach a good balance. Hope to see you again.

The Ship Restaurant Bar and Lounge

When the sun shines, which is often in Kathmandu, our delicious food can be served to our rooftop garden, on our upper decks and our main Promenade. This provides a more casual approach to the Ship's dining experience and there are spaces for over 60 diners to enjoy the Kathmandu Sunshine. Our main restaurant rooms provide comfort for all our guests in well spaced and uncluttered tables. Our menu has been designed so that all food can be prepared from fresh and delivered to the table within 30 minutes of ordering. All foods whenever possible are organically produced from local sources and will be served by young, enthusiastic and motivated people. Most are students taking their diplomas at a local Hotel Management college and it is the founders aim to help the education of the young.The Ship will assist in this education and will help promote the empowerment of women by providing a vehicle for on the job training and learning as well as providing in house development. Our emphasis will be on quality. Quality of food, quality of service and quality of surroundings, this emphasis will not be compromised. We believe that dining at 'The Ship' will be an unforgettable experience unrivalled in Kathmandu and we look forward to pushing the culinary boundaries of the dining culture within Nepal.

Piano B

Hand made pasta, ravioli, cannelloni, lasagne, pizza and wide selection of imported cold cuts and selected cheeses from Nepal. Prosecco, champagne, spritz...all 100 % Italian!

Reviewed By Tommy5901 - Kathmandu, Nepal

Piano B is the place to go in Kathmandu for genuine Italian food wine, coffee and homemade ice cream! Small place with a typical Italian ambience and family style friendly services. The menu is limited and changes daily but has always classics like homemade pasta, pizza or roast lamb, prepared with great care and fresh ingredients. Very attentive and friendly staff add to the experience and the world class top of the line homemade chocolate ice cream rounds it up as a no miss out Kathmandu experience!
Open all days from lunch until 10pm except Sundays when it’s closed!
