De Matka: A review

This is a part of 'project 110, going back and re-filling', writing is happening 8ish months after the date.

Have I written a formal review of De Matka, where I spend my day writing in reading when in Nepal. There's an urgent need of posts that need to be written, so here we are.

The ambiance is pretty decent, except for some assholes that smoke inside the restaurants. It can get noisy at certain times, but it's not a big problem if you put on headphones as you work. The tables and benches are cute.

The prices are extremely reasonable, one of the reasons I prefer this place over others: one can easily get a plate of momo and a drink, plus maybe a cup of tea for less than 200 rupees, a feat in our times.

The service can be prompt if one orders a regularly ordered item, or it can take hours, as I had to experience once when I ordered one of those spiral potatoes which took an hour and a half. It's unclear to me what exactly happens in the kitchen.

Their menu is not very extensive, it is after all a khaja place, a place for tea and talks and light snacks after college and before heading out home.

Having said all of that, I'll still give this place an 8.5 out of ten because it's so dang convenient.
