Newar Food/ Newar Cuisine

The Dwarika’s Hotel, The first visit to the Dwarika Hotel with my wife Akritee for a drink leaves me a wonderful moment. The Second visit  with  Sachit and his family  from Cologne for a cup of  coffee impress me a lot. Everytime when I go there it leaves me a wondermoment. An entrace fee to enter the Hotel is acceptable eventhough it is free to enter the Hotel. .  This is the best Hotel in  the city with  a living tribute to Nepal’s Architectural and Cultural Heritage.

There are different food Events going at the Dwarika’s Hotel.  Some pictures  of the food Events;

Friday Barbeque at Dwarika’s Hotel

I am  lucky to have this wonderful place only    15 minutes walk from my residence. I haven’t been to the Friday Barbeque yet. I am sure I will be go someday soon.

 Hope I will see you there on Friday. The story of  the Dwarika’s Hotel starts in 1952, the late Dwarika Das Shrestha (1925-1992) passionate to collect the old Doors and windows. As his collection grows, he have less space to store them. He decided to construct a building   in the old newar style of  Kathmandu, using the carved windows and doors that he collected. After constructing one after another building, it turns into the Dwarika’s Village Hotel.

Fusion, Cocktail Bar

The Presentation at this hotel is superb but the Cocktail was not so good as I was excepting. The  taste  of Mochito at the Fusion bar is unfortuantely not so  good for this fine hotel. You are at Dwarika’s Hotel not for the Cocktail but for the fine ambient, arts and the presentation. Yes, the Dwarika’s Hotel  is the Heaven on the earth. If you are in Kathmandu, visit the Dwarik’s Hotel.
