It is an old four-storied of
bygone era, painstakingly restored and converted into one of the
finest and the largest Nepali Restaurant within heart of Kathmandu
City - Dillibazar.
The 'Basantapur Baithak' (first floor) has roomy 60-seat capacity
for those who cannot squat Nepalese way as it has table and chairs
and you can sit in western fashion. The 'Putali and Kantipur Baithak'
- the second and third respectively demands that the shoes be taken
off and the hands washed before squatting on the colorful cotton
cushions.
The exceptional cuisine, which is served in informal relaxed
setting, is tasty, wholesome and typically traditional. The
restaurant offers Nepalese delicacies on fixed menu as well as
a-la-cart served in conventional brass utensils.
Apart from traditional 'Wining & Dining' Bhojan Griha offers a
delightful insight into Nepalese culture with the music and dance of
various ethnic groups. They also cater and host weddings, Birthday
and special dinner parties of all occasions and events. |
Kilroy’s of Kathmandu opened
on the 15th November 1998 amid a blaze of hype and, according to
Footprints guide to Nepal “it was entirely justified”.With seating
for 300 guests, Kilroy’s is a great dining experience, whether the
occasion is an intimate evening for two or a large party of tourists
to celebrate their arrival in the majestic Himalayas.
Thomas has carefully put together The Menu taking into consideration
all the different cultures that converge on Kathmandu throughout the
year. A variety of dishes ranging from light salads and soups, to
hearty modern British, Irish and European Dishes are featured, as
well as a full range of Indian cuisine that is prepared in the
separate Tandoori Kitchen. Here, guests are encouraged to come and
try their hand at making Naan bread in the fire-hot clay ovens.
Also not to be missed is The Dessert Menu. As Thomas has prepared
desserts for some of the most famous people in the world - from Bill
Clinton to Sir Edmund Hillary - here is your chance to taste the
favourite choices of the great and the good. |

K-too! Beer & Steakhouse opened on April Fools Day 2000. Although
not intentional it did sum up the direction Thomas was to take with
The Menu at K-too! - which at times is very tongue-in-cheek to say
the least.
After securing a premises in the heart of Thamel – the multifaceted
tourist hub of Kathmandu – Thomas and his team set about creating an
environment in which backpackers, travelling on a budget, could
enjoy the cuisine that has made Chef Kilroy renowned in Kathmandu.
“Steak was always one of the most popular choices on the menu,”
recalls Thomas, “so this, together with the demand for good
value-for-money food and service led to the development of the
steakhouse theme.”
Serving a range of steaks, Mexican food, vegetarian dishes and
snacks, there is something for everyone. And to celebrate his Irish
heritage there is also a free Irish coffee with every main course.
The Dessert Menu is also very tempting - especially after a long day
of shopping in Thamel.
The restaurant offers a chance to relax with live televised sporting
events and movies every evening, as well as a library; daily
newspapers; board games and playing cards for those who just want to
relax and enjoy a cold beer with friends.
Thomas Kilroy at 1905, KANTIPATH Built in 1905, hence it’s curious
name, this aristocratic Rana house was constructed in a European
neo-classical style and has had quite a distinguished history.
During the fifties it was the residence of the famous Russian tiger
hunter Boris Lessinovich, while he ran the palatial “Royal Hotel”
(Nepal’s first-ever luxury hotel) in partnership with the king of
Nepal at the time, HM King Mahendra.
In June of 2002, Thomas took up the challenge at 1905, KANTIPATH to
create a Menu of haute cuisine based on the freshest produce from
the local markets, together with the most luxurious of imported
ingredients.
Eventually, in the Monsoon of 2003, an extensive renovation project
revealed a secret ‘cavern’ under the house, which since 1905, had
been hidden underwater. In May of 2004, after months of careful
planning and design – and sponsorship from Jack Daniel’s© Distillery
in Tennessee – the Jack Lives Here© Cavern Bar and the Amarawati
Garden were successfully launched.
Club - Kilroy Opened as a Private Member’s Club in July of 2003,
Subterrania has established itself as one of the most popular late
night venues in Kathmandu.
Thomas, together with his wife Arati, have created a club where the
trendy Kathmandu in-crowd can be seen mingling with diplomats,
tourists and expatriates alike - be it hitting the dance-floor to
the latest tunes, enjoying a cocktail by the bar or relaxing with an
Irish Coffee after dinner in the Suburbia Lounge.
And as guest security is of the utmost concern to the management
there is a very “hands-on” approach to the overall club operation.
With a zero-tolerance door policy and a very firm-but-discreet
security management style within the premises, this has ensured that
everyone can fully enjoy the very relaxed atmosphere. |
