The Tusa Story
Where Every Dish
Tells a Story
The name Tusa means “sprout”, a symbol of new beginnings. Founded in Bhaktapur, Nepal, Tusa was born from a vision to elevate Nepalese cuisine and share it with the world.
From its first table in a heritage courtyard in Bhaktapur to the hearts of travellers who called it a “Michelin-worthy” experience, Tusa grew into Nepal’s most talked-about fine-dining destination.
Every plate at Tusa is a tribute to Nepal’s extraordinary biodiversity, river plains, and ancient forests, unified by the skill of our chefs and the warmth of our team.
