Calm and peaceful

I visited here around 9:30am and it was so calm. There were Buddhist Monks sitting having food, random dogs laying around sleeping and Tibetan prayer flags blowing in the wind. The smoothie bowl I had was so tasty and the staff so kind and friendly. This is such a great place and I recommend everyone going

Meilleurs Momo végétarien frit

Je suis retournée plusieurs fois dans ce petit café au calme. Mention spéciale pour les Momo frits végétariens. Un régal.

Great Vegan options to choose from

Nice vegan options to choose from. The burgers weren’t really that good, the buns felt weird. The Vegan chckn Maya sandwich was awesome! Nice seating

Overrated

A comercial place. Did not feel like sitting and eating there because of it's kind of commercial, mass serving vibe. Prices seemed ok. Not a nice or cosy atmosphere, but rather touristy.

Great food in a beautiful garden

Before or after visiting Boudhanath, this is a great spot. The outdoor but covered area is perfect. Four stars only because it’s not all vegan. Separate vegan menu.

Veggie cafe in a lovely garden setting

Perfect place to kick back and relax in a city that doesn’t have too many ‘hidden’ cafe gardens. They have signs that say they are vegan but they are not so order with caution. I had vada which came with tomato and mint chutney which I was assured was vegan. I insisted that they double check with the kitchen as mint chutney is often not vegan. When they came back they confirmed my concerns, it was veggie only. There was also some confusion as to what cakes were vegan, it turned out there was only one, a decadent banana chocolate cake that was oh so good.

Tranquil Gardens by a Busy Street

A vegan menu can be customised, as they did for me. Limited dessert options for vegans and vegetarians as most contain egg. The coconut cake was very good.

Updated from previous review on 2022-05-04

Pros: Lovely open environment, Personalised friendly service

Cons: Expensive, Limited options for vegans

Loved the ambience & the buffet.!

It's a must-try, and the service is extremely nice. I really admire how they serve themselves so that no one takes too much and wastes it
The food was quite tasty, and vegetarians should give it a try.

Great tasty food, lovely garden, and great service

This restaurant is a pure veg one and has a vegan menu too with many vegan options. What I like about it is that it’s not vegan junk food, it’s healthy nutritious vegan food. They also have a delicious vegan dark chocolate cake!

Pros: Pure veg, Many vegan tasty and nutritious vegan options, Not overpriced

A Very Pleasant mid day meal.

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.

Our favorite in KMT. Love the food, the space and people.

Went there every single day when staying near the Stupa. Vegan food and drinks are very delicious. We literally tried all of them and loved every one of them. Could hardly find another restaurant in town that's as welcoming and cozy as this.

Pros: Most cozy and friendly space., Excellent chefs and wonderful staff., Many vegan options and all delicious.

Cons: A bit pricier than a street diner but affordable , Add even more vegan options!

Favourite Place Around

Super clean, nice atmosphere away from the busyness of the area, good service and they have a new separate vegan menu alongside their normal vegetarian fare. If you’re hungry around the Boudha Stupa this place is a must!

Pros: Separate vegan specific menu , Clean eating area and kitchen , Inexpensive

Best place for vegetarian in Nepal, Hidden gem of bauddha

Utpala Cafe has to be one of the most peaceful places in Kathmandu. owned by Monasteries, it's a lovely spot to have a leisurely meal, snack, or non alcoholic drink while contemplating compassion .

The menu covers all the usual bases for a traveler restaurant in Nepal: pizza, pasta, salads (said to be mostly organic and hygienically prepared), plus Tibetan, Nepali, and Indian fare. . I particularly appreciate the fresh juices and Friday BBQ from5 -8 pm having unlimited verity of choices of shiitake mushroom , broccoli, different types of vegetable skewers.

Everyone is welcomed generously in Nepali hospitality style , and there's plenty of seating both indoors and outside in the garden. having peaceful environment with ample space even to sit in grass field. Having beautiful flower around.
