Looks like I missed a very interesting conversation here. A couple of comments: Bathroom Coffee - Kathmandu Spice is certainly much more homely and hospitable than OM. Without a doubt. But I wish they would improve their service - it looks like the staff there need a triple shot of espresso. They are so slow. I'll try them again this weekend and see if they have gotten any better. They have the potential to be a very good restaurant if they can do something about their service. Dimple - I am sorry to learn you had a bad expereince there and I see where you are coming from. I too would be angry if I looked at things the way you did. But I have to say something that I have been telling others both on and off Sajha: what in the world makes any one think OM is a Nepalese restaurant? Of course you will be disappointed if you go there with that expectation. But people have only themselves to blame for not finding that out before they go there. If you live in a metropolitan city in America, or at least in the east coast, most people these days look up a restaurant on the internet before they go, just so that they know what to expect of the place. I do that for any restaurant I go to, perhaps with the exception of the local pop-and-mom Chinese restaurants. You need to know what kind of restaurant it is before you go there - if you don't, you go there at your own peril. Also, I will admit, that the owner's mannerism leave a lot to be desired. I am with you there and nothing can be as bad as going to have a nice dinner only to have your whole evening ruined. I know the feeling - I have experienced it too. But it seems he is not the only one who ruined your dining experience. Yes, that is an awful attitude to not speak in a language you know but I am quite amazed at your friends attitude to not speak in English either. I'd say one is as bad as the other. But I am glad you chose to speak your mind on Sajha and hope you will understand that I am speaking mine. Hush - I agree, OM is/was a very happening place. Have you checked out Felt and 360 lounge - not on the same scale but pretty happening too. Have a good weekend all!
