The benchmark Thakali dal bhat set in Kathmandu — refills until you surrender.
About this place
Summary
Tukche serves the food of the Thakali people of the Kali Gandaki gorge — widely considered Nepal's finest home-style cuisine. The dal bhat set arrives as an avalanche: rice, lentils, curries, pickles, gundruk, and endless refills, alongside Thakali classics like dhido and dried-meat curries. The Thamel and Durbarmarg branches are the easiest introductions.
