Subedi
Kesharmahal Road, Thamel
Kathamandu, Nepal

If you blink you’ll miss Subedi. Tucked away in the Kesharmahal Road/alleyway between the Bakery Café and Garden of Dreams, Thamel, Subedi is a super tiny shop-like eatery favored by local businesspersons and me. Be absolutely sure to stop into Subedi for an addictive anytime cup of Nepali chia—a sweet, spicy, milky, black tea-- and their tasty sale-- a fried, mochi, doughnut-like treat made of rice flour-- served for breakfast and throughout the day. Alternatively, swing by for a midday or afternoon snack of freshly made sumptuous samosas. Sit, either at one of the two cozy picnic tables, or on the foot-high stools that line the alleyway entrance. You can get tea, two samosas, and two sale for less than 50 rupees, total, and the freshness is to be admired.
