What to Eat at Kantipur Bhansa Ghar How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Kantipur Bhansa Ghar, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Kantipur Bhansa Ghar, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Dahi puri Net −1
“I recently ordered dahi puri from Kantipur Restaurant. The presentation was good and the portion size was decent. However, the taste didn’t quite meet my expectations. The use of dalmoth as a topping felt unusual and didn’t blend well with the traditional flavor of dahi puri.”

Dhido Net −1
“my experience was very disappointing. The dhido was served cold, which completely ruined the taste and authenticity of the dish. Dhido should be hot and fresh, but what I received felt like it was prepared long before and not properly reheated. Very poor service and lack of quality control. I would not recommend this place if you’re expecting proper Nepali food”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check Availability. Before ordering, ask which menu items are currently available; one customer found a listed dish had not been served for a year.
Check Temperature. If ordering dhido, confirm it will be served hot and fresh, since one review reported receiving it cold.
Delivery Caution. For delivery, be cautious with chatpate if crunch matters: one customer found it soft and oddly flavoured.
Allow Time. Leave extra time during a busy visit, as one first-time diner reported delays with both ordering and food delivery.

Common Concerns
Menu Gaps
One customer ordered from the menu only to learn that an item had not been available for a year and staff had not mentioned it before ordering.
Cold Dhido
A diner received dhido cold and felt it had been prepared earlier rather than served hot and fresh.
Momo Salt
One review found the momos too salty and described the service and staff attitude as disappointing.
Slow Visits
A first-time visitor reported a delay taking the order and bringing food, with no follow-up after serving.
Seating Mix-Up
One lunch visit involved a frustrating exchange when diners entered an area that was apparently reserved.

The Bottom Line
Kantipur Bhansa Ghar is a Nepalese restaurant in Bur Dubai where diners come for familiar, home-style flavours rather than a short snack stop. The clearest draws in the reviews are momos, jhol momos, chatpate and the Newari khaja set. One detailed meal included chicken momos with two chutneys, while another gave the khaja set an emphatic 11/10.
The setting is repeatedly described as clean, comfortable and welcoming, and the restaurant has handled a group of 15 with ease. Service feedback is often warm and quick, though it is not perfectly consistent: one visitor experienced a long wait for ordering and food, while another felt embarrassed after entering an apparently reserved dining area. It is worth confirming table arrangements when you arrive.
There are also a couple of ordering cautions. A customer found that a menu item had not been available for a year without being flagged, so ask what is actually being served before choosing. If you order dhido, check that it will arrive hot; one review received it cold.
Reported prices include a 16 dhiram Thali and a 22 dhiram Thali, though these should be treated as customer-reported rather than a current menu.
