Head To Ama Thakali For Comforting Nepalese Meals & Momos

We love our Dal Makhni & Tandoori Chicken but sometimes, all you need is a simple yet flavourful meal to make your day so much better. During those times, head to the cosy Ama Thakali in MKT for a thali full of palatable Nepalese dishes that are comforting in every possible way {price, portion, taste, you name it}.

Red bricked walls, ambient lighting and low-floored mattress seating makes this place look oh-so snug instantly and once the food starts arriving, Ama Thakali will only continue to impress you. This restaurant is known for its authentic Nepalese thalis, so we ordered a chicken one {they also have vegetarian, egg and mutton thalis} along with a plate of the traditional Jhol Momo. The unlimited rice thalis include three types of vegetables, dal/curry, papad, salad and a variety of three Nepalese pickles that have a nice tangy kick. Their chicken curry was perfectly cooked, had all the right spices, tender meat and  the dal was comfort food 101. Ama Thakali also serves the authentic phaapar roti which essentially is a buckwheat flat bread {a great gluten-free option}, best savoured with the dal and the fried potato subzi served here. We can’t get over the Jhol Momo with Nepalese gravy, every bite of which will be a party in your mouth. The no-frill dishes and thalis here are filling, yet you feel very light after a meal at Ama Thakali.

The pocket-friendly prices, their soul-satisfyingly good dishes and the fact that the thali has replenishable items {except the curry} will certainly keep us coming back for more. Good food makes us happy and Ama Thakali goes a step ahead with their friendly staff and cosy interiors too.
