Fodor's Expert Review OR2K

This oddly named establishment, tucked away down a small side alley in central Thamel, is a popular Israeli-run vegetarian restaurant that serves an eclectic range of European and Middle Eastern dishes. Attracting the younger backpacking crowd, it is usually abuzz. There are no tables and chairs as such—remove your shoes and take a pew on one of the cushions on the floor. The falafels are a perennial favorite. A small stand at the front also sells takeaway snacks.
