This excellent-value restaurant is a great place to start exploring Newari food. The set meals are a good choice, or combine a wo (lentil) or chatamari (rice) savoury pancake with the excellent pancha kwa (stew with bamboo shoots, potato and dried mushrooms) for a light lunch. The patrons are mostly local Newaris, so you know the food is good.
If you really want to dive in face-first, try the shapo mhicha (bone marrow wrapped in tripe and deep fried). It’s next to Labin Mall, just off the Pulchowk junction, a short walk from Durbar Sq.
