Two culinary traditions, one unforgettable table

Named after the wild, citrusy Himalayan pepper that tingles the tongue and awakens the senses, Timur is more than a restaurant—it's an invitation. We bring you the authentic soul of Nepalese street kitchens and the rich warmth of Indian clay ovens, all sparked by the unforgettable magic of our homeland's most prized spice. Come hungry. Leave electrified.

Tandoori Specials

From Chicken Tikka Kebab to Rack of Lamb — our clay oven does what no grill can. Marinated overnight in spiced yogurt, roasted to order, served with mint chutney and caramelized onions.

Curries from two worlds

Choose your base — Tikka Masala, Saag, Vindaloo, Korma, or Kerala Coconut — then your protein. Chicken, lamb, shrimp, salmon, goat, paneer, or a full vegan selection. Every curry is made fresh, every single service.

From Kathmandu with love

Vegetable or chicken momo, steamed or fried, served with house achar. Or go for the Jhol — dumplings floating in a Timur peppercorn broth that's been simmering since morning. This is the dish that started it all.
