Tamura
There's so much more to Japanese food than sushi, and Kido is a good place to try some of that. The eel lunchbox and the udon are great lunches. Not sure about the new chef, but the last one was a star - he'd even do a kind of omakase for dinner if you asked - fantastic slow-braised pork belly, unusual variations on tofu (chickpea tofu anyone?), sublime cold soba, and so, so much more.
I love this place. But they definitely don't fly their sushi in every day. And the waitstaff are really good, so if they "refuse" an order, it's pretty much because they don't have it or they think you'll end up unwell!
Cafe U
Bad form for a business 'directory' to misspell a listing. It's "Cafe U", not Yu. It's also no more "in a home" than Cafe Mitra is.
There's good, homestyle food and it is a popular place for families, especially on weekends, b/c of its yard, back terrace and kids' rec room. The owners also sell organic veggies and unusual salads from their farms in KTM and Pokhara, homemade tofu, miso and rice crackers. The place is packed during yard sales when mixed families and expats moving away get rid of stuff.
Cafe Mitra
A bit cramped, but the food is good and the prices are reasonable. Too bad it's in Thamel else I'd be there all the time.
Cafe Kaldi
i simply love the coffee... high quality coffee.. high quality cafe
European Bakery
@sthapit - thanks, I just went to the bakery and bought 2 bags of the red lapsi :)
European Bakery
@kim - it's called "lapsi". there's 2 types - a sweet (and yellow/brown) kind and a spicy (and red) kind. i prefer the red :)
European Bakery
Does anyone know the name of the dried fruit sold at the European Bakery? (It's red, and a little sweet and spicy at the same time?) I've asked my friend about 10 times what it's called and I still can't remember! Thanks :)
Beans cafe
we are interest in coffee products to import to Kuwait
Beans cafe
The store is owned by Mr lama of Everest coffee. So if you like Everest coffee, you'll probably like the coffee here too.
This coffee pot is also on sale from there. http://coffeepotnepal.com/
Shogun Japanese Restaurant
Good food and good service. Loved the sushi there and the sake.
Cafe Kaldi
Aww...! This place reminds me of my LSE's cafe in London. I am coming,...!
Sherpa Mall
A mall must have a website with lot of images to describe about the mall. It's portrays ignorance of its own investment. I can see only a front facade and the shiny floor with few unknown shops with unknown names. Request to have more images to make everyone easy to browse the malls beauty and its veriety stores.
Thanks,

Gaia coffee shop

Gaia coffee shop

Cafe Kaldi
jusss loveeeeeeeeeeeed the place .... !!!
Educational Enterprise
has a very random collection of books. doesn't have a lot but the owner is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. this isn't borders but is as good as it gets for textbooks and technical books in kathmandu. they had a decent collection of textbooks (mostly by indian authors) on reinforced concrete. i predict that these type of stores will go extinct once the new wave of e-readers make it to nepal but until then this place gets the job done.
Pipalbot
"What's really interesting to me is that Pipalbot proves without any doubt that Nepali made items can compete with the best of them. We don't have to sell handicrafts at Mahaguthi whose designs are irrelevant or sell cheap T-shirts that say "Yak Yak Yak" or sell fake antique Buddha statues to poor college student backpakers." - HALLELUJAH!
Institute of Engineering (IOE)
the mustang quota is removed ever since the declaration of Republic Nepal.
Dragon Eye Club
went on a wed night (right after horse racing) and had the best time of our lives. it was "models night" which essentially means that models get food and drinks for free so there were many good looking people cavorting around. very international crowd and great energy. the music was good also. highly recommended.
Bhat Bhateni
@saroj - it may be boring but unfortunately we don't have a better option in kathmandu. i guess city center + big mart might (hopefully) give bhat bhateni so much needed competition, but until then guess where i'm going to buy my groceries? :)
Sherpa Mall
Sherpa mall is fantastic. JUSt I need to buy a DC hood of 14 years.IF youa have please email in my email adress.
Bawarchi Restro Bar
We walked into Bawarchi for dinner because we'd been hearing good things about it and also because it's right next to Suwal. Boy was that a mistake.
We walked into a smoked filled room of hell with a totally disinterested staff. We asked to be seated in the non-smoking section but was informed that it was reserved. We then asked to be seated in the outdoors seating area but was told there was no chairs. I pointed to the many empty chairs in the smoking section and asked if someone could please move two chairs for us outside to the table with no chairs. The host looked very annoyed - how dare we ask to move TWO chairs? Couldn't we just sit in their smoked filled room of hell and slowly kill ourselves? He finally agreed without bothering to hide that he was very annoyed with us. We waited outside in the cold for a while waiting for chairs that never came. Out of options, we finally decided to go to Ghare Kabab (we were craving some Indian food) which is more expensive, but hey, at least they gave us chairs to sit on.
As much as I hate the fact that KFC and Pizza Hut are now in Kathmandu, at times like these I secretly hope that foreign chains like these slowly wipe out incompetent and lazy establishments like Bawarchi. They totally do not deserve your money and exist only because they don't have enough competition. Restaurants like Bawarchi need to be taught a thing or two about service and get their heads out of their asses. Run, don't walk, away from Bawarchi.
Babar Mahal Revisited
Our favorite place to hang out in Kathmandu. This place has the best Japanese restaurant (Shogun), best lounge (Casablanca), best French and dessert (Chez Caroline), and the best furniture (Pipalbot) in the city. Couldn't live in Kathmandu without this place.
Sherpa Mall
I am looking for kids items such as laptop and electronics devices. could you please let us now if you guys have avialable.

Mandala Book Point
Nice bookstore in the heart of Kathmandu. A lot of it is travelers fare but they have a decent selection of new/popular books as well. And their magazine section is nice as well.
