Kairos Cafe in Jhamsikhel is a culinary gem that left a lasting impression on my taste buds. From the moment I stepped in, the eclectic ambiance captivated me, blending modern aesthetics with a touch of cultural charm. The menu, an enticing fusion of global flavors, showcased the chef's creativity.
Starting with the appetizers, the truffle-infused mushroom bruschetta was a flavor explosion, perfectly balancing earthy tones and a hint of decadence. The Thai-inspired coconut soup was a highlight, with its rich broth and a harmonious blend of spices.
For the main course, the Mediterranean grilled chicken impressed with its succulence and the accompanying couscous salad added a refreshing twist. The attention to detail in presentation mirrored the kitchen's dedication to culinary artistry.
Dessert at Kairos Cafe was a sweet symphony. The chocolate lava cake, oozing with warm indulgence, paired perfectly with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream, creating a divine conclusion to the meal.
The service was impeccable, with staff members embodying both professionalism and friendliness. The overall dining experience at Kairos Cafe transcended mere gastronomy; it was a journey through diverse flavors, thoughtful culinary craftsmanship, and a welcoming atmosphere. Undoubtedly, Kairos Cafe stands out as a top-tier dining destination...
Read moreThis review is geared for remote workers. If you’re just grabbing breakfast or coffee at Kairos, it’s great! I found the food creative and delicious, the atmosphere warm, and the mission of the social enterprise worth supporting.
But as a remote worker, I was surprised that each time I visited I was reminded of my presence by the staff. I worked from Kairos two days in a row and both days a staff member approached me, made a remark about my empty drink, and asked me if he could get me anything else. As a general rule, I (and most other remote workers) will try to order a meal and at least a drink every couple hours. We know we’re occupying space and seats. We’re grateful for the café to host us to get work done. And in exchange, we return again and again (often daily), and usually spend more money more often than the café’s more regular customers. Sadly, Kathmandu – and Patan specifically – still doesn’t have many options for remote workers. But I wouldn’t recommend a friend to work from Kairos yet. If it were a bit more friendly and understanding to the remote worker scene, they would be rewarded with more consistent and increased business. If you're serious about doing work, pay the 1,000 rupees (~$10) to work from The Platform co-working space just...
Read moreAfter two visits to Kairos Cafe now, I would say that the cafe is well situated and a very comfortable location for a relaxing afternoon of eating and reading or chatting. It is well kept, has a long table area, a small lounging area and several standard square dining tables. All seats are outdoors, but under cover.
The food is generally tasty and good quality. I was especially happy with the carrot cake, which was wonderfully moist. The full English breakfast was tasty and a good sized portion, however, the baked beans were very ketchupy. Nevertheless, it was enjoyable and the jam was fantastic! I also had the coffee frappe, which comes in a large stein and is very tasty!
Whilst it is a nice venue and the food and drink are good, I was a little disappointed by the slow service, which would have been understandable on a busy day, but we arrived and ordered after several large groups had left, and still had to remind the staff several times about our orders. We waited for 30 mins to receive our coffee frappes and meals.
However, I will return, as they have a good selection of high quality food and is a nice place to chill. It appears to be very popular...
