Nepali food might not be particularly original, but Kantipur is definitely worth your attention. It is much more elegant than Yeti, and the food just as good. You of course will pay for this elegance, but not too much. Plus, they do have lots of things you will not find at Yeti, some in the Indian Curry section, others (the most interesting) in the more purely Nepali part of the menu. Their Choyela, for example, are a very tasty cold meat dish.

Thukpa, which is completely unlike anything I had expected from Nepal, is a surprisingly Italian looking noodle soup which, in my opinion, one absolutely must try. I also love a spicy appetizer they make with roasted soy beans and raw onions, but unfortunately they only have it once every while.
