Saultee Mode (the name comes from that of a locality in Katmandu) is a one room Nepalese restaurant run by a very young couple. She is a Gipsy-looking Japanese, he a fashionable Nepalese man with an earring per ear who would look right in his element among the Hachiko crowd. Still, the cooking is very traditional, perhaps the most traditional I have found so far, and they are very friendly and careful to one's needs. I found the place, the food and their company, because you end up chatting with them, very likable.

If you are unfamiliar with Nepalese food, this is a great place to start. Don't forget to try the fried rice, the Sekuwa and their Chang (Nepalese rice liquor).
