Asian Tea House
A family-run spot in a Lakeside alley where dal bhat refills are unlimited and momos are cheap. A good choice for affordable, authentic Nepali home cooking.
Asian Tea House is a family-run restaurant in an alley off Baidam Road, run by warm-hearted host Shiva. The signature is dal bhat, a set of rice, lentil soup and sides with unlimited refills (vegetarian and chicken versions), along with steamed momos, spicy momos and masala milk tea. There is no service charge or tax added. The setting is simple, and dishes are cooked to order, so service can be slow at peak times. It is the cheapest option on Lakeside, ideal for travelers who want authentic and affordable Nepali food. Bring cash.
