Newa Lahana (Bhaktapur Branch)
नेवा: लहना
A branch of the long-established Newari chain, tucked into a lane near Taumadhi Square; the samay baji set and choila are highly recommended.
Newa Lahana began in Kirtipur. This branch is at Sukuldhoka in Bhaktapur, in a lane near Taumadhi Square, and is a little hard to find. The décor is traditional Newari style, with floor seating. The menu includes bara (black lentil pancakes), chatamari (Newari-style rice-flour pizza), choila (spicy grilled buffalo, chicken or duck, plus a mushroom vegetarian version) and the samay baji set. Many dishes are very spicy, so if you can't handle heat, ask for a bowl of yogurt on the side. Prices are good, and it is a few minutes' walk from Nyatapola Temple.
