Utpala Café - Kathmandu

Perfect place to step back and relax in a city that does not have too many “hidden” caffe gardens. they have signs that say they are vegan, but they are not so order with intention. I had vada that came with tomato and minze chutney that I was sure vegan. I insisted that she double check with the kitchen as Mint-Cutney is often not vegan. when they came back, they confirmed my thinking, it was just veggie. there were also some confusion about what kuchen were vegan, it turned out that there was only one, a decadent banana chocolate cake that was oh so good.

It is a must, and the service is very nice. I really admire how they serve themselves so that nobody takes too much and it was wasting the eating was quite delicious, and vegetarian should try.

This restaurant is a pure vegan and also has a vegan menu with many vegan options. what I like about it is that it is not vegan junk food, it is healthy nutritious vegan food. they also have a delicious vegan dark chocolate cake!

A vegan menu can be customized as they did for me. limited dessert options for vegan and vegetarian, as most contain ei. the kokoskuchen was very good. updated by previous review on 2022-05-04

Travelling with Veg Voyages and our group was hosted by the Utpala Cafe. We had a lunch meal and it was outside seating. We were served a number of different vegan dishes and everything tasted wonderful and the staff were very welcoming. Updated from previous review on 2020-02-23
