The Best Nepali Restaurant in Kolkata

✨ HighlightThakali refers to the cuisine of an ethnic group from Nepal. However, in Bengal, the term "Thakali" is often associated with the act of fooling or cheating people, which is exactly what I felt happened here. Like many so-called "authentic" places, this one is also run by Biharis, so don’t expect Tibetan people, food, or service. Green Apple Boma Can @ Rs.189 (1/5) Passion Fruit Boma Can @ Rs.189 (1/5) ---------------------------------------------- I tried the BOMA drinks, and they sell these canned drinks for Rs. 189+ GST. It feels like daylight robbery for a can of colored water packed with excessive sugar and little flavor. Not only does it taste bad, but it’s also extremely unhealthy. Chilli Pork Dry @ Rs.360 (2/5) Chilli Butter Wings @ Rs.370 (4/5) Pork Steamed Momo @ Rs.190 (2/5) Mutton Steamed Momo @ Rs.440 (5/5) ------------------------------------------------ Chilli Pork dry was below average but Butter Wings were impressive. The Mutton Momo was surprisingly good, even better than their Pork Momos. However, charging Rs. 470 + service charge for a plate of 10 momos is excessive. Each momo had less than 5g of meat, and the price doesn’t justify the portion size or quality. Chicken Fried Rice @ Rs.330 (2/5) Hot Garlic Chicken @ Rs.280 (1/5) ------------------------------------------------ The Chicken Fried Rice was basic, with a very small portion for the price. The Hot Garlic Chicken tasted like Sweet and Sour Chicken and was the worst I’ve had at any restaurant. It was essentially chicken pakoras tossed in ketchup, and it was hilariously bad. Honestly, even a street food vendor could make this dish 1000 times better. If you're planning a gathering here, I’d recommend spending a few thousand more and booking a trip to Darjeeling or Gangtok. You’ll get much better food directly from authentic sources. I had visited this place a while ago, and it was great value for money, which is why I decided to return. However, recently, prices have shot up by 5-6 times. They completely ruined our Puja lunch, and no one was happy with the food or the prices. We could have easily opted for a much better buffet at this price. I now regret suggesting this place on a Puja day.→
