First Maitri Restaurant in the World!

It's the first maitri vegan restaurant that I've have ever found!

The meals are all vegan. And no alcohol is selled here.

No turmeric, no garlic and no onion are used.

And even more: the prices are so good!

It's the restaurant that I was looking for :)

Off putting!

I got Thali which was underwhelming. Rice was cooked with coconut butter(?) and it didn't hit the spot. Curry soup was not tasty as well. It felt like they used Thai seasoning for that and it didn't go well. The only saving grace for my meal was dal (lentil soup). I felt a little torturous finishing the meal. Had I not been hungry I don't think I could have finished even half the portion. Personally, this place is a pass for me.

Tasty and Posi Vibes

Authentic Himalayan dishes veganized. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Ate here 4 times during my stay. Massive potions for a reasonable price. Food served with love and soul. It’s on the 4th floor of a health and wellness center.

Hō and Hō!

Full vegan menu with the best burrito 🌯 anywhere in Nepal!

The waitress even gave me a free small glass of kombucha since I felt really money restricted at the moment and didn't order my usual! What a paradise this place is!

One of my fav in Kathmandu

When I was reading the menu, I thought I was going to order EVERYTHING on the menu because they all look so delicious! 🤤 Here was my big feast! Steamed veg mo mo, tofu pakoda, Himalayan Khana Set, veg soup (very small bowl btw) and pad Thai. Aww, they were equally tasty and flavorful in Nepalese style. Would return to try to rest! #Veganuary

Updated from previous review on 2025-01-31

Pros: Great location , Open late till 10 pm +, Friendly servers

Cons: A big pricy to Nepalese standard

Nepali Vegan - a very different experience

Vegan momos, Vegan thukpa for those who haven't tried it, tastes so much better than the original. This place is also Jain friendly, no onion, no garlic used in thier dishes.

Pros: Jain Friendly, Clean and Nice Ambience, Tasty food

Cons: Slow service, Pricey

Family run - large menu

Great vegan menu. Ran by a family who are lovely and very accommodating and thoughtful!

I recommend trying their teas in addition to the food.

Pros: Himalayan fruit tea, Smoothie bowl

Cons: On top floor (5flights I think) worth the walk

Nice interior and interesting menu

Nice interior and views. Keep following the stairs up until you reach the restaurant. We were the only people there on our visit. Staff were friendly, looks like it’s a family work in there. The menu is interesting. Food took a very long time to come but they were cooking up fresh just for us. Food was nice although not that special. Do not order the mint lemonade, it was really bad like diluted lemoney water. Nice place that seems to be finding its feet.
