Sekuwa Sansar

The name translates roughly to "World of Sekuwa" — sekuwa being Nepal's charcoal-grilled meat. The kitchen keeps its focus narrow: open-flame meat hand-marinated in a house spice blend and cooked slowly over real charcoal rather than gas. Pork, chicken, buff and goat come the traditional way with puffed rice, fresh salad and a house-made sauce, alongside momo, choila and Himalayan noodle soups. Chicken momo starts from $9.88, part of a stated aim to keep authentic Nepali food affordable.

There's crossover cooking too, in dishes like the Chargrilled Sekuwa Wrap and Sekuwa Salad Plates, plus Sekuwa by Kilo, where you choose your meat by weight and have it grilled to order.
