Review: Yala cafe and coffee shop

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

I've been to this place twice, once with TD and all her friends, all fourteen of us, and later with ND and bhauju. On both the occasions I found the food to be decent, the service to be pretty great, and the prices to be excellent. In terms of ambiance, it's a nice peaceful restaurant away from the hustle and bustle of Thamel streets on an alley, and you can definitely find a corner to sneak to, to smoke a doobie if you so desire without the staff giving you much trouble. It's clearly quite popular with European tourists as we found it to be in high demand on both the trips.

The prices are outrageously good. TD expected to pay around 30k for a dinner-and-drinks for a group of 14 people, and the final bill came to the rune of 12k I believe. She was confused for a moment because it didn't make sense.

This is probably a better place for large groups and couples hoping to hide from the world than a lone traveler or a small rowdy group of friends as the vibe is more peaceful and respecting, and a bit too 'cold' to be fun in a loud way.

10/10 for the prices, 8/10 for the food, always a good option if you want a decent place in Thamel to meet a decent-sized group.

There's a shop next door that sells mad honey, I can't vouch for the authenticity of those honeys.
