Come for the burgers, stay for everything else

Queens Eatery is famous for its burgers but the place—recently incorporating a breakfast/brunch menu—is much more than a burger joint.

Along the road leading to Sanepa chowk from Jhamsikhel, a little way ahead from the humongous towers of the Imperial Court housing complex, and just beside the main road lies Queens (or Queens Eatery). Outside the eatery, abutting the footpath, are three outdoor tables, suited for chilled and laid back weekends (the irritating groans of vehicles on weekdays makes the outdoor setting less than ideal). A cosy yet rebellious interior envelopes the eatery inside: Bulbs with warm lights hang from the ceiling; chill lofi music strums through the speakers; big and snug seats beckon potential foodies; a mural combining Patan Durbar Square and Kathmandu Durbar Square with a graffiti-styled ‘Queens’ written in between the two natural heritage draws one’s attention.
