The Golden Eyes Restaurant & Cafe — Restaurant in Bhaktapur Municipality

We visited this cozy little rooftop restaurant tucked away behind the iconic Nyatapola Temple. The rooftop seating, overlooking the bustling streets of Bhaktapur, provided the perfect spot to relax and soak in the lively atmosphere.

For food, we ordered Buff Fried Rice, Buff Chatamari, Chicken Thakali (not pictured), and ended the meal with the traditional Newari dessert, Yomari.

I have my 9 group lunch organized so far and every time they have proven their...
