Kantipur Cafe

Kantipur Cafe on Hampshire Street serves Nepali and Indian food, with plenty to explore beyond a familiar curry order. The menu includes bara, black-lentil patties seasoned with herbs and spices, and kwanti soup made with a mixture of sprouted beans. Chicken or vegetable thukpa brings noodles and vegetables together in broth; chow mein offers a stir-fried alternative.

For something from the tandoor, there is chicken, paneer or shrimp, with naan and whole-wheat roti available alongside. Vegetable korma takes a creamier route, using cashews and almonds in its gravy. The restaurant offers dine-in reservations and online ordering. If you are arranging a table, call the Hampshire Street restaurant directly to settle the details before you head over.
