According to SF Eater, the Mission District’s Cuisine of Nepal is undergoing renovations following water damage, however, it plans to reopen this summer.
Located at 3486 Mission Street, the eatery is neighbored by establishments such as Cocina Mamá Cholita, the Salvadoran restaurant Nena’s Restaurant, and the The Rabbit Hole.
“Chef-owner Prem Tamang, who opened the restaurant in 2016, wrote in an email he sees the city’s failure to address flooding water as to why Cuisine of Nepal closed in the first place,” the Journal reports.
For readers who are unfamiliar with Cuisine of Nepal, or the cuisine of Nepal, the eatery’s website offers a brief introduction: “Nepalese cuisine reflects the unique geographical position of Nepal, which is wedged between India to the south and Tibet to the north. These contrasting influences create a complex cultural synthesis, which manifests in the lively interaction of the remarkably diverse Nepali ethnic groups and religious traditions.”
“Similarly, the dishes from the Indian plains and the exotic specialties of the high Himalayas influence Nepali cuisine; the food reflects the diversity and the spirit of Nepal in the variety and the balance of its gastronomical offerings — fiery at times, but with various milder components.”
The statement concludes, “Our restaurant reflects the aspiration of Owner & Executive Chef Prem Tamang to share the sumptuous flavors of his homeland with both residents and visitors of his adopted home here in the United States.”
Cuisine of Nepal is slated to reopen on June 28. Stay tuned for updates.
