"The charismatic and popular Nepalese chef Tanka Sapkota is known mainly for his Italian restaurants: Come Prima, Il Mercato, and Forno d’Oro. But at Casa Nepalesa, which he opened in 2010 and revamped in 2021, the chef pays tribute to Lisbon’s thriving Nepalese community by serving dishes from his home country that he’s particularly fond of, like cheesy naan or Alentejano lamb curry with onion, tomato, green pepper, and ginger." - Rafael Tonon
