Swatara Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Lawnton

A Hidden Gem with Exceptional Food and Heartwarming Hospitality

From the moment we stepped in, we felt like family. The owner Khagen went above and beyond to make us happy with his hospitality. Personally greeted us with a warm smile and genuine kindness, setting the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. Every staff member we encountered was welcoming, attentive, and ensured we were comfortable throughout our visit.

Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely outstanding. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. You can tell the kitchen uses fresh, quality ingredients and that there is true passion behind every plate. We especially loved the Khasi Thali. Their tender meat and other vegetables, were unforgettable. And the gulab jamun concluded it with a sweet taste.

What truly sets this restaurant apart is the owner’s care for every guest. They checked in on each table, sharing stories and recommendations, making the dining room feel like a gathering of friends rather than a typical restaurant. It’s rare to find a place where the food, atmosphere, and people come together so perfectly.

I had to ask a man outside in the hall if they were open, and he called someone. Music videos were turned on, but the lighting never adjusted. I sure hope it’s not that way in the evenings.

First time trying Nepali food, so have nothing to compare it to. The pressure cooked momo was just okay; either I don’t care for Nepali food, or this is an inferior momo.
