đNepalâs Best Pizza Spot
Pokhara Lakesideâs Silk RoadâSo Cheap, We Ate It Two Days in a Row đ Wandering near Phewa Lake in Pokhara, friends practically dragged me to this flower-hidden gem: Silk Road Restaurant and Bar. They said, âA place both tourists and locals fight over? Thatâs a real treasure.â Pushing open the door, I instantly got why it wows everyone: Vines climb wooden trellises, string lights glow through green leaves, and garden tables are surrounded by hydrangeas and mint. A guitar strums in the distance đżâit felt like stepping into a movieâs secret garden, the air sweet with lazy warmth. đ Vibe: Every Corner Whispers âTake Your Timeâ The atmosphere is magic: Outdoor wooden tables have checkered cloths, vases hold wild chrysanthemums and lavender; indoor walls are lined with old postcardsâyaks in Nepali mountains, Turkeyâs blue mosques. At dusk, live music starts, a folk singer plucking a guitar softly, lake breezes carrying mistâeven conversation softens. First visit, we sat under the trellis, watching sunset turn the lake orange. Pizza hadnât arrived, but I already thought, âThis was worth it.â đ Pizza: Crispy Enough to Roll, Toppings Piling High Eating it two days straight isnât an exaggerationâthese pies hit exactly right. Mixed pizza is a must! The thin, crispy crust has a smoky char, edges curling like sun-kissed gold. Itâs loaded with melty mozzarella (stretchy, stringy goodness), mushroom slices, ham, bell peppers, and black olivesâevery bite bursts with different crunch and sweetness. Best part? The crust is thin enough to roll up, crackling crisp with creamy cheeseâso good, youâll lick crumbs off the plate. Chicken pizza is even better! Chicken is marinated in spices, tender as pudding, with a hint of smoke after baking. It pairs perfectly with tangy tomato sauce, and cheese is piled highâeach slice is heavy, toppings almost spilling over. With an iced beer? Summer perfection. đ° Insane Value: Cheap and Filling The bill shocked usâtwo large pizzas + 4 juices for just 1200 NPR (â60 RMB)! In a tourist area, getting freshly baked, loaded handmade pizza this affordable? We wanted to come daily. Staff said locals often bring families, sharing a pizza while kids chase cats under trellises, adults chatting with lake views. Turns out, âhappinessâ in Pokhara can be this simple. On our last day, we claimed our old spot. Guitar strings mixed with lake waves, the final pizza slice rolled up and popped in my mouth. Suddenly, I realized: Pokharaâs beauty isnât just snow peaks and lakesâitâs pizza aroma hidden in flowers, cheap and lively, but unforgettable. If youâre in Pokhara, come at duskâorder a pizza, watch flowers bloom, listen to songs, wait for sunset. Thatâs what vacationâs meant to be. đLocation: Near Phewa Lake (follow the âsecret gardenâ lights; search the name on Google Maps) â¨Recommend: Mixed pizza, Chicken pizza (add garlic breadâdip in pizza sauce, you wonât regret it) #HandmadePizza #Nepal #Pokhara #PokharaTravel #PokharaFood #PokharaGuide
