Long maligned as the footwear of choice for Nepal's Maoist guerillas, Goldstar sneakers are undergoing a revival in the Himalayan nation -- fast becoming a must-have hipster accessory.

Hidden in a secluded corner within Narsingha Chowk, ShaVi’s Fries offers a little glimpse of hipster Berlin in the labyrinth that is Thamel. You are welcomed into an aesthetically pleasing little joint that is brightly lit regardless of the use of black mesh curtains and birchwood steps–the two being a reoccurring theme throughout the restaurant. Shavi’s Fries is a type of place you come to hang out with your friends when you’re in Thamel and you want a break from the usually crowded restaurants. You’ll definitely leave the place with Instagram worthy pictures and a love for sauces. Check out the dishes available here.
