Take a tour of Bhojan Griha
Entering Bhojan Griha is like stepping back in time. Through a carved wooden door attendants in national dress welcome visitors. Each of the 4 floors of the building represents one aspect of its rich history.

Putali Baithak - The First Floor
The first floor has a large dining room, Putali Baithak, and two adjoining areas. One is the Kamasutra bar and the other is a mini hall.
The décor and ceiling of Putali Baithak is similar to the Rana palaces in Kathmandu. Its architecture is neo-classical. This was introduced to Nepal by the first Rana Prime Minister, Jung Bahadur. His statue overlooks the dining area.
Dining in this restaurant is at low tables on floor chairs, as local Nepalese people dine.
Next to Putali Baithak is the Kamasutra Bar. This is decorated by traditional erotic wood carvings. Such carvings appear on numerous temples around Nepal. The ambiance of the bar creates a delightful atmosphere for a drink.
Behind the Kamasutra Bar is the Putali Baithak Mini Hall that can accommodate those wishing to have a private dining experience.

Basantapur Baithak - Ground Floor
The entrance leads to a replica kitchen of aristocratic Nepalese families. Past this is the opening to Basantapur Baithak. This hall is similar to those of one of the former palaces, Hanuman Dhoka, now a museum. All details on the ceiling and walls reflect the period of the ruling Shah kings. There are portraits of all these kings, from Prithivi Narayan to the last, Gyanendra.
On the stairs to the first floor are pictures showing the history of the house. They start from its original state up to its present renovated condition.

Kantipur Baithak - The Second Floor
Kantipur, meaning beauty, was the original name for Kathmandu. During the Malla period Kathmandu Valley architecture and art was extraordinarily rich. Kantipur Baithak reflects the richness of this period. In this hall the ornamental brick and stone work is beautiful. Intricate wood carvings, repousse brass and copper work justify the name Kantipur.
The top floor is currently being renovated. Watch this space for more information
