A popular cafe on Sauraha's main street featuring a rooftop terrace, well-loved for its momos, Nepalese sets, and coffee cocktails.
Friends Cafe is located at Hatti Chowk on the main street of Sauraha and ranks highly among local restaurants on Tripadvisor, with new reviews continuing into 2026. The venue features indoor seating and a rooftop terrace. The menu balances Nepalese and Western options: momos are most frequently mentioned, but they also serve Nepalese Thali, Dal Bhat, Biryani, veggie burgers, burritos, pancakes, and cocktails, with vegetarian options available. Some diners call their momos the best in town, while negative reviews mention long waiting times and some dishes being sold out.
