BARA SHOP

Head to Bara Shop to indulge in the best place to eat in Bhaktapur and experience Newari street food culture. Bhaktapur's Newars are renowned for their rich culinary heritage, proudly claiming the ability to craft 84 distinct dishes from locally sourced ingredients. Savour the essence of Newari cuisine with our signature dish, Chuya Lah—tender pieces of meat marinated in a blend of local spices, served with a side of Bara, a hearty bread made from mung bean or black lentils. Each bite captures the soul of Bhaktapur’s rich flavours. Experience the traditional preparation of Bara and relish the tangy delight of curd, a local yoghurt that's the perfect end to your culinary journey. Don’t miss out on our special snack, Samay Baji, a true taste of Bhaktapur’s heritage, making it one of the must-visit restaurants near Kathmandu.
