New Deal Coming Soon at Pasa Ya Kitchen

Pasa Ya Kitchen serves Newari and Nepali cooking from the Kathmandu Valley on Irving Street in Footscray. “Pasa ya” means “of a friend”, and the restaurant aims to feel like a friend’s kitchen, with every dish made from family recipes and fresh ingredients.

The menu centres on Newari cuisine: smoky fire-roasted choila spiced with fenugreek and mustard oil, golden black-lentil pancakes topped with egg, the beaten-rice feast of small dishes, hand-folded momo and sweet yomari dumplings. Lunch runs Monday to Friday and dinner nightly, the venue is fully licensed with Nepalese beer and Himalayan-inspired cocktails, and catering is available for family gatherings, weddings and corporate events.
