A family restaurant & bar celebrating the flavors of Nepal
Our Story
A family table,
open to all
Paila began as a dream shared around a kitchen table — a place where the warmth of Nepali hospitality meets the vibrancy of modern dining.
Every dish we serve carries the memory of a grandmother's recipe, refined with care for the table you share with us. We source our ingredients from local farms in the Kathmandu Valley, and our bar celebrates the botanical wealth of the Himalayas.
