1. What is the Nepali Food Wheel?
Nepali Food Wheel is a random dish picker built for Nepali and Himalayan cuisine. It covers the full range — from the everyday comfort of dal bhat and gundruk to the rich Newari tradition of choila and samay baji, the street favourite momo, and warming high-altitude drinks like tongba and chhaang.
2. Who should use this wheel?
Anyone who loves Nepali food and can't pick from the rich spread of options. Whether you are cooking at home, visiting a Nepali restaurant, or planning a meal inspired by the Himalayas, the wheel makes the choice for you — instantly and fairly.
3. How it works
Choose one of the four category presets, then hit Spin. The wheel lands on a dish or drink and announces it with a स्वादिलो! — Nepali for "delicious!". Spin again for another suggestion, or head straight to the kitchen.
