Operating for the past five years, they have been presenting foodies with special pork items that are typical to Eastern Nepal, especially traditional Limbu dishes. So if you love eating pork, then Noyoz is the perfect place for you to try out since their rendition of different pork dishes will simply delight you. From pork momos, pork keema roti, pork leg curry with roti/rice, and smoked pork, they have it all and they make it with much love and care.
Cooks at Noyoz don’t claim to be the best, but they ardently follow the recipe they learnt from their mothers and grandmothers, making their food culturally rich. Their priority has been to continue the traditions and offer food that is normally eaten during celebrations and festivals, adding special value to it. The food they serve can be found in the kitchens of people in Eastern Nepal.
Smoked pork is one of their most popular dishes. The pork looks beautiful and tantalizing, and tastes even better. Served with sautéed vegetables, it is juicy and succulent. If you’re trying it for the first time, then you’ll gladly come back for a second and a third time and recommend it to all your friends. Yes, it is that good.
Sargemba is a very unique dish, and the process to put it on the plate sounds quite complicated. Main ingredients are yangden (wild moss), pork liver, and minced pork. It is actually served as sausage, but the final dish reminds you of sushi at some point or the other. The yangden is something that can only be found in the cold areas. It is a perfect food choice if you’re out with your friends and would be a perfect accompaniment to the drinks.
The food at Noyoz reflects the food habits of a time that was devoid of modern technology that could store the food and whip up tens of varieties of dishes. These dishes take up a long time to cook, and are meant to be prepared together with family members, so that they can enjoy the food. It takes up a lot of time, sometimes even days, and patience to prepare these delicacies, but thankfully, they are all worth every bit of the effort.
Besides that, they do takeaways as well. Another of their customers’ favorite is pork thaali. It contains rice with pickle, lentil gravy, curry, and pork meat cooked with spinach. It is another of the typical dishes that is a staple of the ethnic Limbu culture. However, as the pork needs enough time to cook, they ask you to place the order 24 hours prior to being served so make sure you follow this request.
Spread on a floor opposite the Chinese Embassy in Baluwatar, oyoz is worth a try. Go there with a big appetite and enjoy their pork delicacies to the fullest.
