The ambience of fire and ice is classic. It’s one of a kind in Nepal.
Now lets talk about the food:
I was utterly disappointed by the level of food that was served. The whole purpose of my visit as a vegetarian critique to this place was the taste the elegance of pizza that Nepal has to offer. But no, my expectations was shattered by how plain the food was.
Pizza: The crust was fine but it seemed as though the crust was just an elevated version of ‘Roti— a classic nepali staple’. No, it doesn’t go with the taste of pizza. Second, it was very bland. Where is the pizza sauce? Blended tomato is not pizza sauce. It was almost non-existent. Now, I ordered the classic ‘Fire and Ice’ pizza. And what did I get? An elevated version of roti with tomato sauce topped with cheese, and potato, and two drops of pesto. Potato? Seriously? In a pizza? As a staple? No.
I have had Fire and Ice before, it was sublime. I still remember the incredible taste they had to offer a decade ago. And now to think that the quality has degraded as such, it’s a shame.
Chips:
What? I have never tasted anything so bland. I couldn’t even finish it. And the sauce it came with— abysmal. You got to realize that you can’t simply pair two things and call it a dish. Cost is reasonable. As international standard kitchen, paying ~$7 for a full portion of chips is entirely reasonable. But come on, at least make a little effort in making the dish a little better. I would never recommend the fancy french name hidden bland potato chips to anyone.
Overall, the ambience of the place and server is good. But I’m sorry, going here for food, especially in today’s standard is not worth it at all.
In one word: Disappointed.
