What is the best place to taste Newari cuisine in Kathmandu? Does anyone know of a place where they might even teach Newari cooking?

Any leads would be appreciated.

Bik.

its been 2.5 years, i have left nepal. so i dunno if it is still there. but pasa go to chikamungal, u know where they have all this fish shops, in the same line close to Kastamandap, they have this one place called "chatamarichen". The price is very reasonable.

Bik, hop in to Patan...

bik,

kathmandu ko Raddison Hotel ko janne galli ma euta Newari Restuarant cha, last year samma thiyo. appeared like a 5 star restuarant from outside to me.

Aunty restaurent at BANESHWOR chowk... or try BHANCHA GHAR they both are nice place to get the newari food.. or if you like to eat go to patan..krishna mandir ko back side ma cha aauta CHYANG PASAL which is soo famous in KTM for BARA and CHYANG.. now it depends on you... whether u like to go to nice restaurent or just bhatti pasal..

Mangal bazaar ko Piro Aalu (kahye pachhi naak ra aakha bata pani aaune), Bara, varieties of chhoyela. Old pasal, still don?t have good chair and table. But you can enjoy the food, its traditional newari food pasal. Bhansha Ghar is the best.

I remember one " haryo pardha" Manandhar Bhatti in Jagate, on the way to Surya Binayak. The Tchwela and Jaad was excellent . You need to sit on a "Sukul" and enjoy the delicacies.

There are quite a few in Machan Galli near Indra Chowk. They've got stuff from every body part of Rangha. The "wasa" is good as well.

Thank you to all those who responded.

oooh yeah those are good..you know those meat baras and hot aloo chops..from the place near that temple Baglamukhi...........hey does anybody if that story is true about witches dancing around that place around gathe mangal..??

Or join PrachandaPanthi communists.... Baburam became fan of newari food, and so attracted to Hisila Yemi. He doesn't doing dishes while Hisila cooks delicious newari food.

Similarly so many BAM netas got married to newars, for food and shelter inside Kathmandu Valley.

I heard that Prachanda himself is fan of Karisma KC.. OK this one is nothing to do with newari food. He becomes hurrukka to watch KC's movies.

Patan Krishna Mandir cheu ko Honacha ko pasal..piro aalu ra choela ko lagi. Also don't miss the lakhamari and barfi from the pasal right across the street from it.

The best part of Newari dishes, not sold at all to my best knowledge, is paun... the juice out of Amli and sakhar. I'm going to get a permission from FDA to brew it here in DC, add an American twist to it so that I can patent it and sell it in bottles -- $0.05 for recycled bottles. Then watch TestDirector become the first Nepali $100billionnaire.

Dream on .... testdirector

Do not get big law suit ........ it is not easy to be billionnarie as you think.

Opening shop, does not mean all come to give you free money.

bik dai,

dwarika's ko "krishna-arpan" is probably the best option if you want to pamper yourself and whoever's in your company and totally indulge in the experience along with the fabulous food. needless to say it's quite expensive but well worth the experience every once in a while.

Maam pakha kwasaa haru. Nepal ma bhaye Jyapu khana bhanthyo. Tara ayuta kura Newari khana justo aaru koi khana chaina kyarey. Tyo bahun ra chetri haruuu Katii matrai dal bhat tarakari khaney.Tyo momcha khana Jyapu kahi janu parcha. tyo chwayla khanaa Jyapu kahii janu parcha. ra tyo jaand khana pani jyapu kaha nai janu parcha. Aaajha tyas maathi tyahiii society lai supress garii rakhey ko cha. Nepal ko naaam ma kun chahi language UN ma register gareko cha ? Tyahii Jyapu language because Nepali lanuage is tooo similar to dhotii language.

That is my dream and it will remain as a dream. Good to be able to dream, though. Some folks don't even dream.
Forgive me for telling this story. About 15 years ago, one of my closest friends told me, "After getting the degree, we should buy at least a motorcycle."
My answer was, "Man if I can buy a new bicycle and give away my old one I'd consider I've earned something".

Within a year of my friend's prediction, when working in India, I could have bought a Maruti, make that 2 Maruti's, full money down. That is also working as an honest engineer, no tricks played at all.
So I myself tell all the time, "TestDirector, at least dream of it."
And from childhood, my dream has seldom been about money. I'll make you lol if I tell you what my core dream has been.
I did dream about money though, once in a while. I used to wake up searching for tons of gold coins under mu pillow and under the khat... dhetterarika, it was a dream!

Dreams aside, a jyotishi told me that I'd earn a humongous amount of money after looking at my hands. He even asked me if I'd print his poetry once I got rich. I then looked at the 25 paisa I was paying him and was saying, "God, I did not eat anything today at school for this and you are taking my 25 paisa and again asking for a favor."
How mean I was to the jyotishi. Actually at that time I was interested in how many wives I'd have.

So please...

I forgot to tell .. When I told my core dream to one of my University teachers, it became a joke for her to use against me for the rest of my life there.

Whats the difference between Neplease food and Newari food ?

KACHINDA... :P

Just go to the Newari restaurant where they sell chwela, kachila and ask for Kachinda. (If they don't know, just swear at them in newari).. eheh.

It's awesome... :D:D

I also like chatamari, with eggs and meat... wow... Yomari... Lakhamari... gurumari... aaithe... Chwela... (Didn't like Patan ko chwela, too spicy)... baru there was this place called JAGATI in Bhaktapur, they sold awesome chwela... with tomatoes. wowoow... m droolin'... not pre-made chwela, you go there, ask for chwela, and they'd make it for you... chulo ma polera... tato tato chwela, homemade jaad and chiura... yahooo.... damn...damn damn...

Maas ko bara is also deadly, when they cook it with meat and pour some gravy in it... yeah...

Kalanki, ofcourse loves "Chat-amoures"! :P

Newari food is the best! Didn't the Shakyas have a Newari restaurant in Lazimpat?
