Ever get that feeling when you step inside a room and you’re in awe of what you see? That’s how I felt when I visited Baithak Restaurant. A quaint little place located in Baber Mahal Revisited. The newly re-launched place offers a fine dining experience with a mix of tradition and modernity. The restaurant has done its best to capture and exemplify the history and tradition of the Rana’s. Baithak specializes in serving Nepali cuisine and more importantly takes pride in serving its three-course lunch/ dinner meal.

The restaurant is located in the upper floors giving it a good view of the beautiful Mulchowk courtyard. Soothing Nepali tunes from the sarangi is a nice touch that goes well with the overall theme of the place. But to my disappointment, the music isn’t available every day, but rather only on selected days. The place however isn’t particularly known for being very lively but what it offers is an escape from the hustling and bustling of this otherwise busy city. It also has a seating capacity of just 50 people which is great for those wanting to enjoy a quiet meal.
