A hidden gem in Kathmandu! 3 courses for just HKD 150 + a secret garden setting. Must-try: juicy Paneer Chilli!

In Kathmandu, crash into a narrow alley and discover a hidden cafe surrounded by greenery – Yala Cafe! It turns out that a KOL had recommended it before, and it was a surprise! The restaurant is decorated like a small garden, filled with large leafy plants, the environment is comfortable🌿.

This time I tried 3 dishes, the bill including drinks is about HKD 150, the value for money is scary!

✨ Unexpected surprise: Paneer Chilli (NPR 499)
I thought it was a combination of cheese + sweet and sour sauce, I thought it was mediocre, I didn't even take a picture, but I regretted it immediately! The outer layer of cheese is fried to slightly crispy, bite down is a soft texture, sweet and sour sauce appetizer as the top note, rich cheese flavor slowly flows out as the back note, layered! 10 points out of 8 points, I will definitely encore next time I come~

🌱 KOL recommendation: South Asian Curry Chicken (Green Curry) (NPR 699)
I ordered this green curry with the KOL. As soon as it arrived, I could smell the rich coconut aroma! The curry sauce is smooth and not spicy, the chicken is cooked just right, tender and seasoned, it's perfect with rice! 8 points out of 10

🍗 Average: Yala Grilled Chicken (NPR 749)
In comparison, the roast chicken was a bit overwhelmed, the chicken was slightly overheated, and the mouthfeel was a bit “old”. However, the mashed potatoes next to it were made quite smooth, add a little points, 10 points out of 6 points, you can try other main courses more affordable!

💡Small Summary:
🏖️ Environment/Facilities: : Garden-style cafe, great for taking pictures
💰Average consumption per person:: HKD 70 per person, cheap!
Must-try: Paneer Chilli, Green Curry Chicken
