Calm and peaceful - Edit
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

Overrated - Edit
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 - Edit
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 - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

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.

Best place for vegetarian in Nepal, Hidden gem of bauddha - Edit
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 .
Read moreThe 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.
