Lakhay - Nepalese & Tibetan Restaurant — Restaurant in Amsterdam

We ordered 3 items and a few drinks and here’s my review -

Chicken choila starter - 5/5, lots of flavor and cool pounded rice to sprinkle on top Chili chicken momo - 4/5, also very flavorful, a bit harder texture than I am used to but overall very good. 8 pieces for 22€ is a bit steep though. Main - Chicken thali - 3/5 - Presentation is pretty but tasted pretty bland after the first two dishes. I wouldn’t order this again.

Interior is decorated pretty and has more ambiance than your other Nepali / Indian spots in town. The reason it gets 3 instead of 4 is that the vibe from waiting staff is weird. The young lady was super nice but the older lady was lowkey kinda mean. We ordered two beverages and I also asked for tap water to accompany it. She told me she is not allowed to serve tap water during peak times because then everyone else would ask for it. I find that super weird to be honest because we also ordered other beverages too. Feels a bit stingy when they already charging 25% higher base prices than other Nepali restaurants. Overall the staff wasn’t very attentive despite having several waiters just chilling and we had to wave them down to get our order in.

Overall it was cool and I don’t regret going once but unless you don’t have a bike or want to eat ASAP, i would travel 10 min further west and visit Himalaya or...

I visited Lakhay - Nepalese & Tibetan Restaurant in Amsterdam on April 14, during my trip from Ghent, Belgium – which also happened to be the Nepali New Year. It turned out to be one of the most heartwarming experiences I’ve had abroad.

From the moment we walked in, everything reminded me of home. The food was incredibly authentic – just like the real Nepali food I used to enjoy back in Nepal. We ordered the Nepali Thali set, Thenthuk, Keema Noodles, Chowmein, Sukuti, and some drinks. Every dish was full of flavor and truly satisfying. A special thank you to the cook for preparing such delicious meals!

The owner himself served us, and his kindness really stood out. He even played a Nepali song on the speaker, and happily played the one we recommended as well – which made the atmosphere feel even more special and personal.

I’ve been to several Nepali restaurants in Ghent, but I can confidently say this was the best experience I’ve had so far. Thank you, Lakhay, for making my Nepali New Year...

It was our first time at the restaurant, we were greeted with welcoming atmosphere and the food smelled really nice. We were so excited for the whole Nepalese experience! Despite our enthusiasm, the owner had a few micro agressive acts towards our table. First of all, we all ordered rice dishes but my specific rice was stale, but its okay, it happens. Then he told us not to use our phones which warms our hearts because a lot of adults are neglecting these addictions among the youth. However, later on, the owner said "i had a lot of groups of Chinese who always on their phones" and mimicked the Chinese negatively. Well, it is rude to express that to any customers group, and more specifically we are Asians not Chinese. I tried to tell him that it is judgemental to assume all Asians as Chinese and to my surprise and shock, he said "you look like me, you look like my mom". What a strange thing to say to a young girl coming from middle age man.

Overall, we were let down by this...
