Fresh dishes from Nepal are on tap at Mitho Restaurant, each meal prepared from raw ingredients and cooked to order, according to Manager Sonam Sherpa.
The family-owned restaurant opened two years ago, started by Sherpa’s uncle who had worked in the food-service industry in Nepal.
It was about a year ago, Sherpa said, that he and the other family members who work at Mitho, started hearing about the virus.
“We started panicking on March 16,” said Sherpa. “From that day, we closed for a few months” following the state shutdown.
He said the family “just tried to stay alive” and didn’t worry too much about the restaurant. “Everyone was staying home.”
