Private Parties

A separate private room, apart from the main restaurant, is reserved for parties of up to 100 people. It offers a private setting for a business meeting, a festive event, or simply a night out with friends or colleagues — one space for a private lunch or dinner, corporate or casual.

Outdoor Catering

We bring the same standards we hold in the restaurant to catering outside it, for anything from a family gathering to a wedding reception, an office function or a birthday. We cater around Kathmandu, for parties from 20 guests to 1,000.

Cooking Classes

More than a cooking class — a cultural immersion and a day in the life of Kathmandu. Nepali cuisine still draws on organic produce from local farmers and Ayurvedic spices; learning the ingredients and their medicinal and social history makes the traditional cooking itself easier to love.
