THE HIGH TABLE - THAMEL EDITION - 9 COURSE

A Culinary Exploration of Nepal’s Beating Heart - 10 SEATS ONLY

Once a haven for wandering souls and seekers in the 60s and 70s, Thamel in Kathmandu has evolved into a buzzing cultural and culinary melting pot. What was once a hippy hangout now hums with the aroma of sizzling street snacks, the quiet perfume of aged yak cheese, and the deep, earthy notes of centuries-old mountain spice blends.For this edition of The High Table, Chef Viraf Patel and Prakriti take you on a journey through their recent food explorations in Kathmandu and beyond—especially the twisting lanes of Thamel, where Newari, Tibetan, northern Himalayan and Thakali culinary traditions intermingle.

Over the course of this intimate chef’s table dinner, expect a menu that reflects both reverence and reinterpretation. From wild-foraged mushrooms & fiddlehead fern, soupy buffalo dumplings & takes reminiscent of home cooked meals from the bylanes, each course is layered with stories, textures, and ingredients brought back directly from the Himalayan foothills.

On this journey back to Bombay, Chef Viraf and Prakriti carried not just spices and cheese but memories, moments, and meals that now find a second life on your plate. Expect high-altitude lentils, hand-ground Timur and Yerma, aged yak cheese, and more—reimagined and refined, yet true to their roots.
