Kyampa The Social Hub — Restaurant in Lalitpur Metropolitan City

Initial thoughts: My friend recommended that we go here. I had no idea a place this cute and pretty was hidden in this area. They've beautifully utilized containers and made the place aesthetic, I loved my visit. Really good place for friendly hangouts and casual dates!

Food & Ambience: We ordered a bunch of items. Props to the restaurant for having such quick service, I think it's the quickest I've experienced so far!😍. We ordered some of the best sellers including chicken and pork fried rice, chicken salad, nachos, and dragon chicken, and I can certainly vouch them for being the best sellers.

•Nachos: I was greatly relieved after knowing the tortilla chips were homemade! They weren't oily, had a nice crunch to them, and we're filled to the brim of the bowl👍. I also loved the fact you're given THREE different dippings (guacamole, salsa, and sour cream) to enjoy, which I absolutely did. Seasoned well, and certainly could taste the freshness of the ingredients used 😇.

• Dragon Chicken Oh, this had a good punch to my palette. The chicken were well seasoned with spice a touch of crisp and char to them, just like a dragon! The colourful bell peppers added a vibrant colour to the dish and the onions weren't bitter and paired really well with the chicken, too, definitely recommend this one!🎉

• Chicken/Pork Fried rice HUGE W to the restaurant for using short grain rice, I'm a big fan of it!😍 I could instantly taste the smokiness through the wok-hay, done to perfection. The rice grains were nicely coated with the sauce and the small bits of vegetables added a nice hard texture in contrast to the softness of the chicken and rice. Don't get me wrong, the pork fried rice was equally good, but I prefer the chicken 😇.

Talking about ambience, you have a lot of space for both indoors and outdoors, really great for getting your daily sunlight goal 🤣. The place was covered in greenery with vines which really stood out to me, with a touch of calmness.😊

To conclude, I really enjoyed my first visit here and would definitely visit again. Some people may find the price of some dishes to be a bit on the higher side, but I wouldn't complain given the neighbourhood. What I ordered was justified for the price👍 they have two wheeler parking as well with a hygienic washroom as well, definitely a plus point from my side. A solid 4/5 ⭐ from me, as there's always room for improvement...

The worst experience I had was this place . I went there last Friday with my friends . When we reached there the ambiance was good people were chatting laughing and enjoying their time . We thought ok this place is good let’s find a table and enjoy our time . We waited around 25-30 mins before we called a waiter by ourselves for water and menu . Then we looked at the menu and were ready to order . Literally there was nobody .oh the waiter that brought us water and menu now was avoiding us however possible. We waited another 40minutes when a female server was standing near the table behind us . We called her and told her that we have been here for Round an hour and no one came to take our orders. She was so rude to us and replied that its not possible that we waited for 1 hour . Then she was like fine what’s your order. I understand it was friday and the place was fully packed but this level of attitude from the resturant staff was very disappointing. The food took another 20-30 mins to arrive and as expected it was cold and not so good. We could not even finish 1/3rd of the platter. It was so tasteless. Then came the time to ask for our bill but again no-one was there . The first waited that served us water was too focused on pleasing the foreign customers and totally avoided us and other local customers . It felt like we were ignored on purpose. I had enough and walked up to the cashier and asked for the bill. I even complained about the disappointing service and behavior of the servers but he said to leave a review here so here I am. The worst worst experience of my life . I am never going back here or even recommending anyone this place unless the staff is given proper training on...

Considering the price and location, here’s my review:

First off, the parking space is ample—no issues accommodating cars.

At the entrance there were several small shops sell basic snacks to coffee. The place itself is built around a concept, with unique walls, decorations, and a garden that adds character. The lighting could use some improvement, but the garden is a highlight—perfect for groups, especially for drinks.

Service, however, needs work. When we visited on a busy weekend, the crowd was understandable, but it didn’t justify the slow and inattentive service. We had to call a waiter just to get a menu, and again for water. Food took longer than expected to arrive, and something as simple as complimentary snacks like popcorn could have made the wait more bearable.

We tried their “best seller,” the Dragon Chicken. As expected, chicken breast can be bland, and this dish was no exception. A good sauce could have made a huge difference, but it lacked any real flavor boost. When I asked for hot sauce, they brought chili oil—a poor substitute. If they didn’t have hot sauce, they could have just said so. The momo, at least, was decent.

Lastly, the powder room was clean and smelled great. They even had a mesh carpet to keep shoes from getting wet, which was a thoughtful touch.

Overall, Kyampa is a great place with a nice atmosphere, but the service is underwhelming, and the food...
