Thamel House Restaurant — Restaurant in Kathmandu Metropolitan City

I just went to this restaurant and my family and I (we were four dinners) had the worst service in our whole trip to Nepal. The food is not surprising, it is good but we went to this place because it seemed like a top notch restaurant, truth is that is nothing alike. So food is average, portions are very small, therefore the ratio quality/price is very bad (you pay too much for what you get). What made the evening the worst dinning experience in Nepal was the waiter service, he was not only inattentive, but the rudest waiter! When we were making our order he was in a rush, we were asking the size and ingredients of the plates but he was in a rush and didn't explained properly. We asked if a soup was spicy and he said that it wasn't, when we got the soup it was so spicy that we actually returned it (he laughed at us when we said it was too spicy for us). We ordered a green salad and we got a tiny plate where the only green veg was a lemon, when we asked for an explanation he laughed at us and said "that is green (pointing at the lemon), that is red (pointing at the carrots)", he was mocking at us in a very sarcastic way which is completely unacceptable. Our whole dinning experience was ruined by the behaviour of this waiter and after we paid we requested to speak with the manager, we were told that he wasn't at the venue so we seriously doubt that our complaints will be heard. I do not recommend going to this restaurant, food is not worth it, the quality of it doesn't reflect on the price, and most importantly the service is just...

Here is a place well known for its authenticity and this reputation is fully deserved! This establishment is located in the heart of Thamel which is the favorite tourist district of any good traveler in Nepal passing through Kathmandu. You enter a real traditional Nepalese house with up to two floors under the ceiling with spaces all as interesting as each other. On the first floor, a classic room with small tables but above all a balcony overlooking the interior courtyard where you can also sit down. Above this level, still taking the typical traditional staircase, you reach another room with sofa and coffee table. Higher up, there is a single large room where woven mats await delicate mount clients or clients looking for originality. Finally, the attic completes the accommodation but it is not intended for the public in the immediate future. A real unsiue and authentic house! But the interior courtyard, even if it is furnished with more modern tables, is nevertheless decorated with plants and one notices on the walls various ornaments such as masks or kites. But above all the service is up to the quality of the dishes you will find there. Prices are correct considering that. And in the pure Newar tradition, the small flight of house alcohol will be...

Straight up the decor and atmosphere was a 5 out of 5. The same goes for the staff, who were polite and went along with some light banter due to failed attempts at lighting a fresh candle. Sadly the same can't be said for the food. Other than their delectable Shikarni, rest were mediocre at best, to not wanting to finish at worst. The Chatamari was quite decent and worth a try, a solid 3. Their Alu Tama (a sort of potato soup) was not for our pallets perhaps so I can't fairly judge it. The dish I personally was looking forward to was the Sukuti which I would struggle to give a 2 at best. The meat was super dry and crunchy and had an overpowering ginger flavor which was wall you could taste. Also no onions in there. The disheartening dish took away too much from the whole dinner experience. If looking for delicious Nepali Sukuti, you are better served elsewhere. But nonetheless, I would recommend this place if you wanted to relax at the end of a long day out and relax with a few...
