First time trying Sel Roti — completely converted

I had never tried Sel Roti before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The simply seasoned and clean taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. mustard oil is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a Kathmandu teahouse setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. Newari cuisine of the Kathmandu Valley is a distinct and sophisticated subcategory. My server recommended butter tea alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Sel Roti. Outstanding first encounter.
