Food with family @ Kalopul
Never had we thought that we’d be writing about a restaurant with live music at Kalopul, but here it goes. Haasaa at Kalopul, on the right towards Shifal just after the bridge, is a family-style restaurant that has been serving delicious Newari cuisine with live music on weekends for a couple of years now.
Parking might be bit of a hassle for this restaurant right by the road but we are sure our readers will find a place to park their vehicles and enter the restaurant’s traditional-themed premises. Also serving a few continental dishes as well as pizzas, the indoor restaurant has live unplugged music by various artists at weekends.

The not so old Old Mate
Located at Baluwatar (near the Chinese Embassy), Old Mate: The Local Table was a relatively new establishment when we were forced to shut down this section in March 2020. By now, the family restaurant, which is designed with a typical Nepali theme and boasts of a lavish multi-cuisine menu, has become a popular junction in the area.
Old Mate covers a single bungalow with plenty of seating arrangements and ample parking space at the convenient location of the main Baluwatar road. Although specializing in Nepali food, the restaurant offers a wide selection of food and drinks including coffee, alcoholic beverages and the now trending hookah.
