Our Story

Originally from the Mustang district, we brought our Thakali culinary traditions to Kathmandu valley. Thakali cuisine is known for its simplicity, warmth, and flavors derived from the high mountain herbs of the Annapurna region. Our signature dal bhat set is served on traditional brass plates with six accompaniments, each prepared with spices we bring from our village.

An unforgettable experience. Sarita's Newari feast was the best meal we had in all of Nepal. The love and care in every dish was palpable. We felt like part of the family.

The momos at the Tamang family were incredible — the best I've ever had. Pasang told us stories about Boudhanath that brought the stupa to life. Magical evening.

Kamala's Thakali dal bhat set was a revelation. Six different accompaniments, each more flavorful than the last. The brass plates added to the authentic feeling.
