Sajangoth — Restaurant in Lalitpur Metropolitan City

When we arrived, we were the first customers of the day, and the only customers there at the time. Staff and manager had nothing better to do other than stand around and stare stare at us without cessation, a typical experience with Indians, yet, something Nepalis don’t generally do because they know that it is extremely rude. The manager was seated only 2 tables away, rocking away away in his rocking office chair, and he was also just staring at us without any break, as if we just walked out of a spaceship.

The boss at the register had the least discernable personality I have ever experienced in my vast travels, counting money seems his only reason for existence... This was by far my most expensive and average meal in Kathmandu. The pics are of Momo and Chowmein, I also had a (cold) samosa and Dahl with a...
