Dechenling Beer House
Quality Tibetan and Indian food is served up in this attractive beer garden and it's one of the few places in town to offer interesting Bhutanese dishes, such as kewa dhatsi (potatoes and cheese curry). The thentuk , Tibetan noodle soup, is the best in Thamel. If you can't decide, opt for a set meal.

Diyalo Restaurant
At the Annapurna Lodge, this is a cosy, popular little garden restaurant with a large menu, including crêpes, burgers and a few Chinese and Indian dishes.

Dudh Sagar
This is the place to reacquaint yourself with South Indian snacks like dosas (crêpes filled with potato curry) and idly (pounded rice cakes), topped off with Indian sweets like barfi (fudge) and gulab jamun (deep-fried milk balls in rose-flavoured syrup). A special masala dosa followed by a dudh malai (cream cheese ball in chilled pistachio milk) makes a great meal.

Four Season Restaurant
A great location and some of the tastiest Thai and Indian food in town, make this a good compromise if you fancy a chicken tikka masala but your date wants a green papaya salad. You can sit overlooking the road, in the warm orange and black bar area or on the rooftop under what looks like an aircraft hanger. One of the chefs is Thai, the other worked at the Rum Doodle for 17 years, so they know their stuff.

Ghar-e-Kebab
Run by the Hotel de l'Annapurna, this has some of the best North Indian and tandoori food in the city. Indian miniatures hang on the walls and in the evenings classical Indian music is played and traditional Urdu ghazals (love songs) are sung. Try one of the traditional sherbets for dessert.
-
Yak Café
Another unpretentious and reliable Tibetan-run place at the other end of Thamel. The booths give it a 'Tibetan diner' vibe and the clientele is a mix of trekkers with their Sherpa guides and local Tibetans who come to shoot the breeze over a cigarette and a tube of tongba (hot millet beer). The menu includes Tibetan dishes, with good kothey (fried momos), and South Indian food, at unbeatable prices.
