Hi,
Just wondering if there are any Nepalese restaurant here in Silicon Valley. If you know any, let me know. I know there used to be Kathmandu West in Cupertino but it seems closed.

There is one at Berkley - Kathmandu Cafe - owned by husband-wife team (newars from Kathmandu). They also own a Nepali/Tibetian gift shop down the street. The restaurant, I believe opens from 5:00pm. Food is good, pricey though.

"Kathmandu" restaurant near Berkeley is almost a piece of Kathmandu in
SF bay area. With paintings of Newari Bhoj on one wall to a Damfu hanging
on the other, it is a cosy place serving best Momos, Chwelas and Thukpas
anywhere outside of Nepal. Here is an older link from the San Francisco
Chronicle that will give you a good picture -

As for the famed "Kathmandu West" in Cupertino where the likes of Steve
Jobs frequented, it is now (sadly) closed. Try this link to find out how
it was like then - (and yes, Gundruk was on the menu)

If you feel like driving a bit, you can venture out to Davis for
"Kathmandu Kitchen" which is located in downtown Davis.
Another one in north bay is Annapurna Restaurant in Santa Rosa. It has
earned some rave reviews -

And here is your chance to try their delicacies in upcoming
Nepali New Year - (if you're in northern CA)

Huge kudos to these Nepali entrepreneurism .....
