Krishna’s Kitchen

Top choice in Pokhara


Krishna’s is a superb Thai garden restaurant nestling at the north end of Phewa Tal. Homemade tofu, organic herbs and vegetables, and professional presentation mean this would be a great Thai restaurant anywhere. To match the excellence of the food there are gourmet teas and a quality wine list.

Walk, cycle or taxi the 3km from Lakeside. The restaurant can organise a taxi back to your hotel.
