The Newars are the indigenous people of the Kathmandu Valley, and their food is a cuisine of its own — heavy on mustard oil, timur pepper and beaten rice, eaten in feasts rather than courses. Samay baji is the whole idea on one plate: beaten rice, choila, egg, black soybean and achar, each element meant to be taken with the others rather than in order.
Cooked to order at 6400 Derry St. Open Tuesday–Sunday, 11 AM–9 PM. Order below for pickup, or delivery within 5 miles.
