Newa cuisine (also referred to as Newar cuisine) is a subset of Nepalese cuisine that has
developed over centuries among the Newars of Kathmandu (Kathmandu is called Yen in Nepal
bhasa language), Nepal. Newa cuisine is the most celebrated food variety in the country that
consists of over 200 dishes. It is more elaborate than most Nepalese cuisines because the
Kathmandu Valley has exceptionally fertile alluvial soil and enough wealthy households to make
growing produce more profitable than cultivating rice and other staples.

Food is the integral part of Newar culture. Different kind of foods are prepared for different
occasions, considering the climate and nutritional needs for body. Newars are renowned for
their sumptuous feasting.[1] Dishes served during feasts and festivals have symbolic significance.
