When I dine alone, my favorite dish is thali, so I can enjoy a rich variety. Little Kathmandus thalis are so beautifully presented and delicious. I love that they include a small, sweet kheer, too. What a treat!

This is an absolute jewel hidden away in El Cerrito. It is a great combination of Nepalese and Tibetan food. The food is very authentic and they have dishes you dont see at other Nepalese restaurants. The service is fantastic and you feel very welcomed there.
