Street food

If you're a Nepalese and not had any single street food till the day, are you really Nepalese? I am a big street food enthusiastic, I would be ready in any given time of day to embark on the glorious sausages, mushrooms, syabhaley and other delicacies that you get.

These are my personal favorites-

1.Egg roll in Boudha

I don’t think that many people know of this hidden gem. It lies in the alleyway of AT Burger near Boudha Stupa. They have this small stall which only opens in the evening and certainly serves the best egg roll you could find. They stuff the roti with half-boiled egg and other heavenly things which I don’t know the name of, but it’s definitely one of my personal favorites.

The best part is it costs you less than 100 Rs. Also, make sure you reach there at around 4–6 because they’re in limited stock.

2. Chaat in front of People’s Plaza

I was one of those people who was never really fond of chaats or eateries of that sort, but this place definitely made an impression on me. I love the Dahi puri chaat and the pani puri this place serves and it’s super cheap as well.

If you love chaats, you’ll surely love this place.

3. Sekuwa in Basantapur

There surely are a lot of fancy places that serve you sekuwa with a slice of lemon and a sauté of vegetables on the side, but this local sekuwa has to be my go-to. It’s easy to get, cheap and tasty as well. You’re likely to find this on the streets of basantapur and you’ll definitely not be disappointed.


For about 40 Rs you’ll get about 7/8 pieces with puffed rice and lemon which is surely a deal you wouldn’t want to miss.
