I spent three months trying every version of Newari Khaja Set I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled timur Sichuan pepper with genuine knowledge and the simply seasoned and clean result was noticeably superior.

dal bhat power for 24 hours is a trekking mantra reflecting how central the dish is to Nepali daily life. The winning restaurant had the right a Kathmandu teahouse feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. butter tea was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Newari Khaja Set is made properly it's a completely different experience.
