Freshly ground masala, every morning — at all three Desi Chai outlets in Kathmandu. See our menu
The neighbourhood counter behind Kalimati.
Kuleshwor sits in the residential belt just behind Kalimati, and the outlet runs to that neighbourhood rhythm. Traders coming off the early shift at the vegetable market arrive first, before the school run and then the work-from-home crowd who settle in with a laptop for an hour. It is the quieter of the three outlets — a place people come back to on the same day rather than pass through once.
