Lekali Bhoj Thakali - Dhumbarahi — Restaurant in Kathmandu Metropolitan City

I went to the new location next to Lavie Residence but can't find it on GMaps (they haven't updated it yet ig) so I'm reviewing here instead.

Excellent place! Highly recommend the royal thali set (we got it without mutton) and veg thali. The sauces go so well together. I loved mixing it all up together with the rice. As someone with a low spice tolerance though, it is a little spicy but So Good. Spicy but delicious. So delicious. I just drank a bunch of lassi to get through the spice 😅

AND THE DESSERTS!!!: Kodo Ko Kheer with ice cream + Dudh Malai. The kodo ko kheer is not too sweet, a little spiced, and very comforting. It was warm and went really well with the cold ice cream. The dudh malai is a bit sweeter but the sponge cake is soft and soaks up the milk well. Their sea buckthorn with honey drink is also recommended - sweet and a little tangy.

The service was great! Waitresses were very attentive and had good English.

Only thing is the outside seating has people smoking (which is expected but I just wanted to put it here anyway. Sit indoors if you're sensitive to...

We had ordered two chicken thakali set which came later than we expected when we asked spoon after the dish came the waiter told they ran out of spoon which was understandable, the food was not good at all, no refills of meal items when we were eating the waiter boy turned off lights two times which is worst behavior we have seen because we were sitting inside the artificial village setup they have over there ,they only listened who order plenty of dishes there was no hospitality at all except the receptionist who was welcoming and curious about how the food was. Overall, I can't say bad about their other food varieties which I have not tasted and for one waiter behavior I can't neglect that they have made impressed people by their foods and ambience in the past years bringing people together to eat thakali in the same roof ,hope they will improve and give their best service...

I recently visited this restaurant and I must say it was an outstanding experience, largely thanks to the exceptional service provided by Mahesh Bista. From the moment I walked in, Mahesh greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel incredibly welcome.

His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for the guests truly stood out. He ensured we were comfortable and guided us through the menu with helpful suggestions. The service was prompt, and Mahesh went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable.

The restaurant’s ambiance, coupled with Mahesh’s hospitality, made this visit one to remember. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and a team that truly values its guests.

Thank you, Mahesh, and the entire team at Lekali Bhoj , for such a delightful experience. I will definitely...
