We peered in a few doorways and examined a few picture menus before making our decision. We were to discover that to walk a long way from the entrance to the dining area, along narrow and gloomy passageways, frequently with lots of steps, is quite normal for Kathmandu, but we didn't know this at the time of our first meal.
As I was muttering to Yorkie that I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find the way out again, we arrived at the dining area which was rather special and well worth the walk.
We sat on floor cushions to dine at some very low tables. It was a good job we had brought a few of our new friends from our tour group with us, as we were the only diners in the restaurant.
We started our order with beers as we thought getting acquainted over a beer is a truly fine way to get to know new friends. The beers we were drinking were authentic Nepalese Gorkha beers, honouring those real men, the Gurkhas. The beer was as fine as those soldiers are, and it went down a treat.
The food was very good too and a real bargain. Four of us ate and drank for the equivalent of about £4 a head.
As you can see, the restaurant also laid on some after dinner relaxation. Trying out this hubble bubble water pipe was fun, although we didn't try anything too strong as we wanted to be fresh and raring to go in the morning.
Lots of love, George & Yorkie xxx
