Newar Foods

Newar cuisine is a rich blend of flavors, textures, and traditions, deeply rooted in the Kathmandu Valley’s cultural heritage. We celebrate the authentic tastes of Newar foods, known for its diverse ingredients, bold spices, and time-honored recipes.

From the beloved Yomari, a sweet steamed dumpling filled with molasses and sesame, to the savory delight of Choila, spicy grilled meat, Newar dishes offer a unique gastronomic experience. Other specialties include Bara (lentil pancakes), Samay Baji (a festive platter with beaten rice, smoked meat, and pickles), and Juju Dhau (King Curd)—each dish carrying centuries of tradition and cultural significance.

Whether you want to explore Newar foods or celebrate your heritage, Nepal Cultural House connects you with the authentic flavors of Nepal.
