Newari Khaja Set exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Newari Khaja Set made with real commitment to mustard oil and technique. The simply seasoned and clean result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Newari cuisine of the Kathmandu Valley is a distinct and sophisticated subcategory. The a trekking lodge dal bhat was exactly right for this kind of eating. tongba millet beer was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
