The best breakfast ever! quiet and peaceful environment, beautiful decoration

A quiet cafe for a quick bite was worth the visit. Lying in the corner a gem of a place for breakfast was worth visiting. Service & food above par & the cafe itself a quaint quiet place. A must visit.

Can it get any better than this! I mean wow .Everything is perfect here.

I thought the food option was quite limited and you can only pay with either cash or card and I did not had any so I had to make my friend pay which was kind of awkward. That fair is really good. The menu is quite hard to understand is on a expensive side.

Stepping into Cafe Swotha is like entering a sanctuary of culture. I'm just here for the aesthetics & peace. Food is mid. looks like this cafe has transformed a home into a cozy cafe. I remember it started as a small space, the recent expansion post-Covid has made it more inviting and spacious, allowing visitors to breathe freely. The essence of their cultural heritage, rooted in the rich legacy of the Newar community, permeates every corner of the cafe. Although it's just usually one staff taking orders. But they staff conversations that are always grounded. It's mostly gestures however, I'd love the staff to be interactive. Note: the dedication to showcasing and preserving cultural heritage is amazing. By embracing culture with intention, i like how they've created a space that is both welcoming and enlightening (teaches about the history of Ktm).

Best place to chill out friends. I had a mint lemonade and chicken satay . It was good in taste
