A green corner of Pokhara made for slowing down

The garden came first. Trees, potted greenery and open-air tables that catch the Pokhara light in the afternoon and glow under warm lamps in the evening. It is the kind of place where a quick plate of snacks turns into three hours of conversation.

The kitchen keeps to what it does well — momo, chilli fries, grills, burgers, thalis and desserts, cooked to order and portioned to share. The snacks bar sits alongside it, mixing mocktails, pressing fresh juices, blending shakes and pulling coffee all day.

Come with friends after work, bring the family for a weekend lunch, or take a corner table on your own with a coffee. Everyone gets the same garden and the same welcome.
