District 5: Giving the People What They Want

Photo: Adam Martin

District 5 opens tonight at 5:30 p.m. in the old Metro Kathmandu space. The same owners will operate the new “American comfort food” restaurant, but they thought it was time for a change. “We’ve been running Metro Kathmandu for two years, we found out what people wanted was comfort cuisine,” owner Roshan KC told us. “A lot of restaurants recently opened that are too expensive. We’re doing a more affordable price.” Not much has changed as far as the look of the place, as you can see from the photo, though they’re now hanging art from local artists. Check out the menu below, and stop by if you’re in the neighborhood. The city’s name for the hood, by the way: District 5.
