Yangling Tibetan Restaurant — Restaurant in Kathmandu Metropolitan City

If you’re in Kathmandu and you haven't tried the chili momos at Yangling Tibetan Restaurant, what are you even doing with your life? These bad boys are spicy—and I mean spicy—but in the best possible way. As someone who enjoys a good kick in the mouth, these chili momos quickly became my favorite dish during my stay. Seriously, if you like your food to bring a little (or a lot) of heat, you'll be in heaven. And the best part? They won’t break the bank. The prices here are ridiculously low for the quality and flavor you get.

But it’s not just the food that makes this place special. The people here are super friendly and welcoming, always ready to share a smile or have a chat. It’s the kind of place where you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first time. I ended up eating here multiple times during my stay in Kathmandu (who can resist those momos?), and every visit felt like a mini celebration of food, flavor, and hospitality.

So, if you’re craving something flavorful, spicy, and affordable, Yangling is the place to be. Just remember: don’t underestimate the chili—but hey, if you can handle the heat, you’ll be rewarded with one of the best food experiences...

Barahsinghe – craft beer, a pilsner that tastes surprisingly like Czech Pilsner. Really good! I was shocked to find out it's imported from Germany – smells amazing and tastes even better, served in chilled glass.

They also have vodka, whiskey and other hard alcohol, if you like. Also buffalo meat, chicken – finally, life is full of flavors again!

After being ovo-fish-veg diet in Rishikesh, where things were pretty bland, I need to pace myself. That said, I definitely don’t miss hard alcohol.

The vegetarian noodle soup Thukpa smells divine – garlic, red/spring onion, carrot, cabbage thinly sliced, yumm, and either butter or ghee.

Too bad I’m only here for one day, and on the first day, my stomach isn’t ready for the meat Thukpa, which seems to be very popular here.

It’s quite spicy though – red chili! Also serve condiments: pickled green chilies and a red chili paste – definitely skipping those.

The noodles themselves are nothing special most probably made of wheat, but the broth is amazing. I can only imagine how delicious the meat broth must be!

Definitely...

This restaurant's owner originally opened at Bhagawati Bahal at Thamel 2 decades ago the name of the restaurant was different that time. And they moved to Saat Dobato and again moved to Kaal Dhara. I am one of the happy customer. It's been 2 decades or more I often go there to have momo (dumplings) and Buff Chillies. These are my favourite dish. And the taste is as good as it is used to be before 20 years. I recommend five star for the food and five star for the price and five star for the volume of the food also. It is cheap and delicious. But some staff needs smile on their faces and if you guys have parking services it will be great.

Only the problem is its closed on Saturday. Never seen a restaurant that is closed...
