Thetno Makai Ghar
A corn-themed street-food restaurant in Mid-Baneshwor, Kathmandu (Sangam Chowk). Flagship offering is Makai Ghar ("corn house") — dishes like Makai momo, Makai Chatpate and Cheese Makai, selling 50+ cobs a day. Founded by a mechanical engineer who invented a corn-roasting machine and opened a restaurant around it when he couldn't find a buyer.

Our Values
Community
Corn from Panchkhal in season, Chitwan and Hetauda off-season — sourced close enough to know exactly whose farm it came from.
Curiosity
A mechanical engineer building a corn-roaster wasn't trying to open a restaurant — the restaurant only exists because nobody would buy the machine.
Partnership
Tables built from old bicycles — a space furnished with whatever the neighbourhood already had lying around.
Global Vision
"Infuse technology into local food that Nepalis love" — a roadside snack treated like a product worth engineering properly.
