While in Kathmandu is a neighborhood classic- the space is beautiful, intimate, and lovely for a casual romantic evening! Service from Susie was amazing and friendly. The food is always incredible.

Check out While in Kathmandu, it’s a beautiful neighborhood spot.

suzie was my server and she was v attentive and kindly answered all my questions abt the food. i had the chicken platter and it was the most flavorful dish i’ve had in a while—just what i needed after a long, grueling winter day. especially loved the achar, i wanted to buy a jar of it. great place to solo dine. and their price point is quite up there ngl, but so worth it. will be back very very soon
