Before you head over
Essential advice on pacing your dishes, handling authentic Himalayan heat, and securing the best seats on Cavill Avenue.
Time Your Dessert Order
If ordering the chocolate momos, request that kitchen staff prepare them after your savoury dishes so they do not arrive early. Let them rest against the scoop of ice cream before biting in, as the rich chocolate centre is served piping hot.
Balance Your Heat Levels
Traditional Nepalese recipes here carry authentic heat, and the accompanying house chilli sauce packs a serious punch. Pair spicier dishes like buffalo fried rice and chatpate with the mild 8848 signature sauce or a balanced mango lassi to manage spice levels.
Book Ahead for Live Music Sets
The bustling dining room fills quickly when live acoustic musicians perform and weekend dinner crowds arrive on Cavill Avenue. Book your table in advance to secure prime street-front seating and skip the peak-hour rush.
