Our Story

We are a Rai family from the eastern hills. Our cuisine reflects the Kirant tradition — fermented foods, wild greens, and recipes that have been passed down for generations. Dining with us is an experience you won't find in any restaurant. We also brew our own tongba (millet beer) which we serve in traditional bamboo containers.

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.
