Pro Tips
- 1.Visit during off-peak hours (2-5 PM) to avoid crowds and get faster service, especially important when traveling with tired kids.
- 2.Ask for mild seasoning if ordering for young children, as some pizzas may be spicier than typical Western versions.
- 3.The restaurant accepts both Nepali rupees and major credit cards, but carrying cash is advisable as card machines occasionally have issues.
- 4.Request a table near the window for great people-watching opportunities along Kathmandu's busy streets, which keeps kids entertained while waiting.
- 5.The restrooms are generally cleaner than many local establishments, making this a good pit stop during city sightseeing.
Best Time to Visit
Weekday lunchtimes (12-2 PM) or mid-afternoon offer shorter wait times. Avoid Friday and Saturday evenings when local families dine out. The dry season (October to May) is most comfortable for dining, though the air-conditioned interior makes it pleasant year-round.
What to Know
Expect to pay moderate prices ($$) comparable to Western standards but higher than local Nepali restaurants. Most staff speak English well, and the menu includes familiar items. High chairs are typically available upon request.
Seasonal Notes
Open year-round with consistent hours. The restaurant can get especially busy during major Nepali festivals like Dashain (September/October) and Tihar (October/November) when local families celebrate. Service may be slower during monsoon season (June to August) due to traffic delays affecting deliveries.
