“The BEST place I have eaten in Kathmandu. Totally yummy. If you want to feel good physically, spiritually, compassionately, and environmentally, eat here for sure. The vegan cashew cake is sooooo good. Beet juice, yes please. Thali set veg, more more more.”

Over the course of a month, this restaurant became our favourite go‑to for both lunch and dinner—it truly stood out for us in Kathmandu. The fresh, healthy salads, great vegetarian options, and yummy momos we couldn’t get enough of were consistently delicious. The service was outstanding, thanks to the friendly and welcoming team who looked after us so well. We especially enjoyed the Beetroot & Ginger juice and the Super Veg salad, and loved that this was the first place we had lunch on arrival and the last dinner before leaving—a perfect way to bookend our stay. The partially covered seating area on the 3rd floor, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Thamel, offered a wonderful haven of calm and a relaxed vibe. And to top it off, the resident cats, always ready for a cuddle, added a touch of charm to every visit. Namaste 🙏

Owner operated by the lovely husband and wife team of Prava & Sanjay, this rooftop cafe/bar is consistently some of the best food in Thamel. Food speaks for itself. Fresh, seasonal, made to order. Nicoise salad was perfection. Nepali thali set seasonal and delectable. Cashew cake always sells out so get in quick. Peanut sadeko converted the newbies. We had a table of 7 the first visit and understandably the food took a while, but it was absolutely worth the wait. So much so that we all went back multiple times during our stay in KTM. Prava and Sanjay are also warm and friendly and professional, as are their staff. So it's wonderful to support a place that's locally owned, where the owners are active in the cafe everyday and where the food always meets there standards. Tea is loose leaf, and the teapot is generous. Plus, the resident cat is a cuddle-bug. Loved coming here solo and getting cat purrs with with Panna Cotta.

I don't understand all the hype. It's too expensive for what you get. The salad portion was very small – essentially just a few pieces of beetroot, some apple, greens, a few nuts, and a tiny bit of cheese. And it took almost half an hour to prepare. Definitely overpriced. The cashew cheesecake was partially thawed, with a noticeable icy crunch inside. While I enjoyed the rooftop ambiance and the view, I won't be returning for a second visit and cannot recommend it for a good food.

One of the best restaurants I've tried in Kathmandu! The food is fresh, plenty of salads, greens and healthy options. And all the dishes I've tried are packed with flavour. I loved it here so much that I've come back 5 times over 6 weeks of stay in Nepal. Staff are also really friendly and attentive, supported in service by the local cat Suri. The veggie pasta and the vegan cashew cake were my favourite options. Totally recommended!

Perfect traditional Nepali food with a sexy modern atmosphere and really warm friendly staff. I am so thrilled to return here after 4 years and find my favorite dishes from my last experience. Try the Khaja set for something truly unique.
