We’ve had some great food in Nepal. Traditional Nepali, Indian, Tibetan and Western. You will most certainly encounter dal bhat and momos but there is more to discover.
We can give you ideas on what food is available in Kathmandu, on your trek, in the Terai and tell you roughly what it costs. Those huge price rises on your trek could be a surprise otherwise. You’ll want our post on traditional Nepalese food. Dishes to look out for include:
- Dal Bhat, a delicious thin lentil soup with rice, often includes side dishes such as vegetables, pickles, curd, or popadoms.
- Thukpa. A noodle soup. This hearty dish comes in meat and vegetable versions.
- Mo Mo. Mo mo can be steamed or fried, “buff” (buffalo meat), chicken, or veg. They’re tasty little dumplings filled with a dense minced filling.
- Dhindo. My new favourite Nepali dish isn’t on most menus but if you can find it, try it. There’s a picture in the Nepali food post, above.
- Paneer dishes. Paneer is a dense, mild curd cheese. You’ll find it fried in paneer pakoda or in curries suck as paneer saag (spinach). Paneer is one of my favourite things.
Be extra careful with Nepal street food, use common sense.
