The name “Majhi Ghar,” meaning “fishing house,” is a tribute to the Tharu community, whose symbiotic relationship with the Chitwan River has shaped their lives for centuries.
At Majhi Ghar, this deep respect for nature flows through every detail— from the earthy decor to the authentic dishes. As you enter, you're welcomed by rustic elegance. Brass accents, handcrafted woodwork, and stone floors echo the earth’s natural textures. Traditional Tharu motifs pay homage to cultural legacy, while the serene dining space channels the calm of riverbanks with a refined, modern twist.
Dining at Majhi Ghar is a spiritual and sensory journey. The menu reflects Chitwan’s agrarian roots—steeped in tradition, yet alive with creativity. Each dish carries a story from the land.
• Mithila Thali with Ghunghi (Snails): This rich, earthy dish connects you to the Tharu way of life. The snails, sourced from the Chitwan River, are prepared as they have been for generations.
• Fire-Grilled Local Fish & Grilled Chicken: Cooked over open flames using age-old methods, these smoky dishes evoke the festive spirit of Maha Shivaratri and the communal joy of sharing fire-cooked food.
• Jaand (Fermented Rice Beer): Tangy and earthy, Jaand is more than a drink—it’s a tradition passed through farming families, a symbol of togetherness.
• Gundruk Jhol: A hearty soup made from fermented greens, found in most Nepali homes, it reflects the resourcefulness and resilience of mountain life.
• Nepal Pepper Tomato Chutney: A zesty side made with native ingredients, this chutney brings brightness and bold flavor, like the Himalayan sun itself.
How often do we pause to truly savor a meal? At Majhi Ghar, food is a ritual—a moment of presence. This isn’t just about eating, it’s about feeling.
Here, every dish invites you to slow down, reconnect, and listen. To the stories in the spices. To the silence between bites. To the heartbeat of Chitwan itself.
