Thakali Khana –

Thakali Khana – The Heart of Nepali Cuisine in Munich

When you think of Nepal, you think of the Himalayas, warm hospitality, and of course, the famous Dal Bhat. At Falcha, we bring this authentic Nepali experience straight to your table with our Thakali Khana Set, a wholesome and flavorful meal that is loved across Nepal.

What Makes Thakali Khana Special?

Thakali Khana, also known as Dal Bhat, is more than just food – it’s tradition, culture, and comfort all in one plate. It is a balanced meal that combines lentils, rice, vegetables, pickles, and curries to create a nourishing and deeply satisfying dining experience.

At Falcha, we serve an authentic Thakali Khana set that includes:

  • Steamed Rice (Bhat)

  • Daal (Lentil Soup) – light, aromatic, and soul-warming

  • Fresh Saag – seasonal leafy greens cooked with Nepali spices

  • Gundruk – traditional fermented leafy greens, a true Nepali delicacy

  • Mula ko Achar – tangy radish pickle

  • Gajar Kakro Salad – carrot and cucumber for a refreshing crunch

  • Tomato Chutney with Timur – spicy and citrusy, made with Nepali pepper

  • Choice of Curry – tender Chicken, flavorful Lamb, or vegetarian Aalu Bodi Tama (potato, beans & bamboo shoot)

  • Crispy Papad

  • Creamy Dahi (Yogurt) to cool down the spices

The Magic of Gheu (Clarified Butter)

What truly sets our Thakali Khana apart is the tasty Gheū (clarified butter). In Nepal, it is tradition to pour warm gheu over the rice and daal – enhancing the flavors and creating a rich, comforting aroma. At Falcha, we serve it the same way as in Nepal: our server will lovingly pour the gheu for you, right at the table, just like at a Nepali home.

Why You’ll Love It

This is not just a meal – it’s a journey. Each element on the plate balances the other, from the tangy achar to the creamy daal, from the crunch of papad to the smoothness of gheu. It is hearty, healthy, and deeply satisfying – a true taste of Nepal in Munich.

✨ Visit us at Falcha and enjoy the authentic Nepali Thakali Khana Set – a dinner that warms the heart, nourishes the body, and brings the spirit of the Himalayas to your table.

Bara – at Falcha

Falcha Authentic Nepali Taste in Munich

In the rich and diverse world of Nepali cuisine, few dishes carry the cultural weight and comfort of Bara. Known as the “Newari lentil pancake,” Bara is more than just a snack—it’s a celebration of flavor, tradition, and community.

The Cultural Roots of Bara in the Newari Community

Bara, or Wo in the Newar language, is a savory, protein-rich pancake made from ground black lentils (urad dal). In the Newari community of the Kathmandu Valley, Bara is an essential dish during festivals, religious ceremonies, and family gatherings.

Traditionally, Bara is prepared during Swaniga (birthdays according to the lunar calendar), Ihi (a symbolic Newar girls’ marriage ritual), and Mha Puja (Newar New Year and self-worship ceremony). It is often served as part of a Samay Baji set—a platter of beaten rice, fried boiled egg, spiced meat, pickles, and seasonal vegetables.

Bara holds a special place in these occasions because it is believed to bring good luck, strength, and prosperity. It’s one of the few festive foods that can be eaten by vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, depending on how it’s prepared.

How We Serve Bara at Falcha

At Falcha, we are proud to bring this Newari classic to Munich, prepared just as it is in Kathmandu homes—but with our own touch of freshness and authenticity. Our Bara is made with soaked and stone-ground black lentils, seasoned with mild spices, and pan-fried to golden perfection.

We serve our Bara with Aalu Tama ko Sabji, a traditional Nepali curry made from potatoes, bamboo shoots (tama), and black-eyed peas. This combination balances the crisp, nutty flavor of Bara with the tangy, earthy taste of Aalu Tama—making it a wholesome, comforting meal.

Varieties of Bara at Falcha

We know everyone enjoys Bara in their own way, so we offer several delicious varieties:

  1. Plain Bara – Perfect for vegetarians and those who want to enjoy the pure flavor of lentils, served with Aalu Tama ko Sabji.
  2. Egg Bara – A fried egg is cracked right on top of the Bara while cooking, creating a soft, rich layer of flavor.
  3. Chicken Bara – spiced chicken pieces are embedded into the lentil batter for a protein-packed, hearty twist.

Whether you choose the simplicity of Plain Bara or the indulgence of Chicken Bara, each bite will take you closer to the streets of Bhaktapur or the courtyards of Patan.

Why You Should Try Bara at Falcha

  • Authenticity – Made using traditional recipes passed down through generations.
  • Freshness – Prepared fresh to order with quality ingredients.
  • Cultural Experience – Every serving tells a story of Newar tradition and heritage.

So next time you visit Falcha, step into the taste of the Kathmandu Valley. Order our Bara with Aalu Tama ko Sabji, and experience the warm, comforting flavors that have brought families and communities together for centuries.
