It is a no-nonsense pocket-friendly café, and the outcomes reflect the pricing.
The momos are excellent - especially mutton momos. Larder drips through them and in fact freezes on the table during cold weather. Glazed Chicken wings are a good option as well. However, the health quotient of this restaurant is in the doldrums and save this place for cheat meals on a rainy day (literally and figuratively).

When it comes to beverages, i prefer to not look beyond a salted lime soda but that's quite subjective on your proclivity for sugar.
On the whole, i would say 3/5, + 0.5 for the best momos in town and +0.5 for doubling up as a...
