About this place
One pleasure of a Thakali Set is being able to combine rice and curry with small portions of lentil soup, vegetable sides and pickles as you eat. A diner who chose the set for lunch at MATINA DINING (Matina Dining) enjoyed chicken curry with ginger-scented lentil soup, vegetable sides and pickles. One review noted that the papad was good both on its own and mixed into the rice, while adding fermented vegetable pickles brought a change of flavour. The curry options listed include chicken, mutton, pork and vegetables, making it easy to choose a main to go with dal bhat or a Thakali Set.
For something beyond the sets, consider Chicken Choila, spiced chicken, or Mutton Sekuwa, spiced grilled mutton. Smaller plates include Mutton Sukuti, a spiced stir-fry of dried mutton, and Pork Chili, pork stir-fried in a sweet-and-spicy sauce. Those looking to try Newari food can order the Newari Samaya Baji Set, served with beaten rice, egg, beans and mixed pickles.
Chai, available hot or iced, and mango lassi are listed among the drinks, whether for after a meal or with a set. The restaurant is on the 2 floor in Asagaya-minami and offers lunch and dinner menus.
