Hard Rock Kathmandu, stands out from its fellow sisters overseas right off the bat with its spacious interiors. Blending in a chic, almost avant-garde esque design with a more laid back 90’s feel to pander to the more casual milieu of customers, Hard Rock Kathmandu manages to create a rather splendid atmosphere which is then simply invigorated by the amazing music setlist serenading you as you dine.

And the shining jewel or rather jewels in the Hard Rock crown: the memorabilia. Oh the memorabilia on display is simply a sight to behold! Enshrined ever immortal in every wall of this café as it is for every Hard Rock around the world, is music history. From the robes of the legendary Ben E. King, Rihanna’s and Lady Gaga’s ever stunning dresses to guitar’s from the likes of the Rolling Stones, Bryan Adams and the hat and shoes of the King himself Michael Jackson, Hard Rock Kathmandu is a haven for any music lover and is sure to leave any wide jawed, staring in awe at the right before them.

Hard Rock Cafe serves up an assortment of core American food. The food, at the risk of sounding oxymoronic, creates symphony in its loud American Rock & Roll ingredients to create a unique culinary experience. The Jumbo Combo starter emulates this very sentiment to the T. Served up in a large platter with the gob-smacking Hard Rock Signature wings, crispy Onion Rings and Tupelo Chicken Tenders, vibrant Southwest Spring Rolls and the fresh Tomato Bruschetta, paired up with the Honey Mustard, Blue Cheese and House Made BBQ sauce, this exquisitely assembled starter is sure to leave anyone that tastes it drooling for more.

This colourful, high-tempo, vibrant platter exploding to the brim with flavours is followed up by a more subtle yet amazing dish. The Chicken Caesar Salad is truly a must-have for anyone that ever finds oneself at Hard Rock. The tenderness of the chicken, paired up with a beautiful caesar dressing complimented by the romaine lettuce, croutons, parmesan crisps topped off with parmesan cheese add a new dimension to the dish making it a dish that radiates a fluffy freshness about it. This light palate settler after the rock and role of the jumbo combo serves as the perfect bridge to our chorus.

The main set commences with the ‘BBQ Cheeseburger’, carrying the true american burger spirit comes the specially curated buffalo Meat burger, with a large buffalo patty seared to perfection with the signature Hard Rock spice blend, topped off with delicate shoestring onions, lettuce leaf, tarty vine ripened tomatoes and the cheesy goodness of cheddar. This Nepali take on the quintessentially American burger is the most scrumptious, juicy, flavour filled bite any burger can get. Pair these up with the Hard Rock Hurricane, the Hardrock Signature 1940’s New Orleans Classic Cocktail mixed up to drink with a blend of Bacardi rum, orange, mango, pineapple juices, grenadine, black rum and amaretto and what you get is a truly savoury, delicious meal.

The star of the day, the chorus of the symphony however lies in the Baby Back Ribs. Imposing its bold presence, this Danish imported meat glazed with the house BBQ sauce, spruced up with the signature spice blend served up with coleslaw and ranch style beans simply dissolves in your mouth. The tenders in the meat, the flavorful sear, the tangy BBQ sauce all add up to a delightful experience in your mouth that would see you simply devour through the entire rack of ribs in front.

The tryst between the hot fluffiness of the brownie with the cold element of the ice cream creates one final act of glory in your palate, that final glorious encore performance that leaves you wanting for more!
