If you know, you know. The original joint that provides a space for live music and steaming momos. Everyone is welcome here and the owner is a legendary figure in the local scene.

This location is part of one of the coffee franchises in Nepal. The coffee from my nearby hotel was not good at all. So it was a pleasure to find this business where a person can get a decent cup of coffee.

The food wasn't great. The roti and keema was more like home-cooked meal. Syapta was too dry and hard. We got a fly in our momo that disgusted the whole experience.

One of the best jazz bars in Kathmandu. I love the aaloo dum (spicy potato) and chicken shapta and pork shapta they serve!

Great live Jazz and amazing atmosphere. After a long Trek it feels good to be back in Kathmandu enjoying a good drink and delicious snacks.

Momos and syaptas are the best. Nice vibe and smooth atmosphere if you are chilling or hanging out with friends. Good choice of beers on tap.

The only place that has exclusive live Jazz Music. If you are a Jazz lover you should definitely drop in on Wednesday evenings where you can relish the local Jazz scene in Kathmandu! Plus a pool table for the enthusiasts 🤩 What’s more…the food will obviously leave you wanting to come back for more! The momos, the shyaptas, the aloo dum, the drinks…there is nothing that you can complain about!
