About this spot
Nestled in Chinatown, Nepal House serves authentic Nepali thukpa that rivals the best bowls found in Kathmandu itself. The kitchen specializes in hearty dumplings and spicy momo varieties that are distinct from typical Indian curry houses nearby. Locals flock here for the tangy aloo tama curry, which perfectly balances sweet potatoes with earthy lentils.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for extra chutney on the side to cut through the rich ghee in your thukpa.
- Order the momo set early as they sell out quickly during lunch rushes.
- Save room for the steamed rice cakes, which are a traditional dessert often overlooked by tourists.
