A Thakali restaurant menu can run to dozens of items. You do not need to read all of it. Here is the simple approach regulars use.
Step 1: choose your set
The Thakali set is the main event. Decide two things.
Rice or dhido?
Rice is the safe, familiar choice. Dhido, a thick buckwheat staple, is the traditional mountain option. Read our dhido guide if you are curious.
Which curry?
- Vegetable: light and fresh.
- Egg: simple and filling.
- Chicken: the most popular.
- Local chicken: firmer, richer, more traditional. See why it costs more.
- Fish: lighter, with a different flavour.
- Mutton: rich and often the choice for a special meal.
Step 2: add something to share (optional)
If you are a group, order one or two starters for the table while you wait:
- Kanchamba (crispy buckwheat fries).
- Mustang aloo.
- Chicken or mushroom choila.
- A plate of momo.
Step 3: ask for refills
When your rice, dal or vegetables run low, ask. At Thulo Thakali, rice, dal and vegetables are refilled for every set.
Step 4: dessert or not
Most people are full after a set. If you have room, share khuwa momo.
Ordering tips
- Spice: ask for mild if you prefer. Pickles are on the side so you control the heat.
- Allergies: tell the staff when you order.
- Vegetarian: look for the green veg mark on our menu.
- Groups: one set each plus two shared starters works well for most tables.
