Pleasant environment, Great taste

My first taste of authentic Nepalese dhal bhaat came on my
second night of my six week stay in this beautiful country. Driven on the back
of a motorbike to the Muktinath Thakali Kitchen, it was explained that every
region has a different approach to making dhal bhaat, but that the people who
run this restaurant came from a region
famed across the Nepalese for the taste they achieved.
Greeted at the reception desk with a massive smile and a
hearty Namaste from the owner, I was excited to see that the restaurant was
quite busy with local patrons. I’ve always believed that if local people are
using a restaurant then the food must be good. Seated in the picturesque
garden, the dhal bhaat arrived on a huge plate, delivered with another smile
from the friendly staff which only added to the pleasant environment.
A generous portion of rice in the middle and an assortment
of pickles, curried vegetables and dhal surrounding it, this food was as
attractive to look at as it was tasty to eat. Delicately spiced and cooked to
make you want more – staff attentively wait to provide refills of any item on
your plate that finishes -the meal is healthy and nutritious but equally tasty
and delicious. This is now my last week in Nepal and I have eaten at the
Muktinath Thakali Kitchen four times, and I’m planning to enjoy it one more
time before I leave!
