About Dhokaima
Heritage Preserved
The Baggixhana room represents the rich architectural heritage of Patan. This space showcases traditional Newari craftsmanship with intricate wooden carvings and original structural elements that have stood the test of time.
We have carefully preserved these historical features while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where guests can experience the authentic charm of ancient Nepal while enjoying modern comforts.
Where Tradition Meets Comfort
Our interiors blend traditional Nepalese aesthetics with contemporary design sensibilities. Every corner tells a story of craftsmanship, from the handpicked furnishings to the carefully curated decor.
The warm tones and natural materials create an ambiance that invites you to slow down, savor your coffee, and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of this historic location.
Gateway to Ancient Patan
Dhokaima Cafe is placed right at the entrance of the ancient city of Patan, which was a walled city state. In fact, the eastern wall of Dhokaima was part of the old walls, and some of the evidence is seen in the exposed slim maa-apa bricks that date back to the Malla Period (1201-1779 CE).
Dhokaima as a name was created so that visitors need not add a preposition when saying, "Let us meet at Dhokai-ma!" (Let's meet at the gate!) To say Dhokaima-ma (at-at the gate) would be redundant, thus saving us an extra syllable!

What Our Guest Say
GOOD Based on 1674 reviews Posted on Binodit ShresthaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I ordered a cheesecake that unfortunately didn’t seem fresh—it had a strong fridge smell even though I was told it was baked the same day. I shared my concern with the cashier, but she only smiled and didn’t take any action. A simple acknowledgment or small gesture like a discount would have gone a long way. Overall, a disappointing experience for the price.Posted on Nalisha PradhanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peri peri grilled chicken was so dry and chewy, sauce was also bland. The food used to be so good but it has degraded.Posted on Deepshikha K.C.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved their chocolate cake❤️Posted on Utsav Singh RathourTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Used to love their black forest and white forest, but the taste has since changed. Food is good. Coffee is ok.
