For five years, customers have asked us, "What makes your burgers taste so good?" Half the time, the answer is one of these sauces. They're simple. They're elegant. They're the reason people search for the best burger in Kathmandu and end up at our door. 

Our chef always said, "Sometimes the simplest things do the heavy lifting." That's exactly what these sauces do. When people searched for restaurants in Thamel that actually cared about their food, they found us. And it was often because of these two recipes.

Now we're sharing both. Because great sauces deserve to be made at home.

The Recipe: T's Your Palate Aioli

Aioli is what happened when we asked ourselves: what's the perfect sauce for a perfect burger? The answer was garlic, mayo, and simplicity. This is the exact aioli that made T's one of the best restaurants in Thamel.

Ingredients:

• 300gm mayo (our signature base)
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch pepper
• ½ fresh lime

Equipment:

• Small mixing bowl
• Spoon or small whisk

Instructions:

Step 1: Start with Your Mayo Base

1. Pour 300gm of mayo into your mixing bowl
2. This is the foundation — quality mayo makes quality aioli
3. Make sure your mayo is at room temperature

Step 2: Add Your Garlic

1. Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
2. Don't use garlic powder — fresh minced garlic is what separates the best burger restaurants in Thamel from average ones
3. Stir it in well
4. The garlic should be evenly distributed

Step 3: Season Carefully

1. Add 1 pinch of salt
2. Add 1 pinch of pepper
3. Stir after each addition
4. Taste and adjust — this is your sauce, so make it yours

Step 4: Add Brightness

1. Squeeze juice from fresh lime
2. Stir it in completely
3. The lime juice brightens everything and prevents the aioli from tasting flat
4. This is the secret ingredient that makes aioli taste like it came from a restaurant in Thamel that actually cares

Step 5: Taste and Finish

1. Taste your aioli
2. Need more garlic? Add it.
3. Need more lime tang? Squeeze more juice.
4. Need more salt? Add a tiny pinch.

You've now made aioli that rivals what made T's famous as the best burger spot in Kathmandu.

The Recipe: T's Your Palate Honey mustard

Honey mustard is the sauce for people who want something different. It's sweet, it's savory, it's complex. This is the sauce that makes people say, "I've never had a burger sauce like this before."

Ingredients:

• 300gm mayo (our signature base)
• 1 teaspoon hot English mustard
• 4 teaspoons honey

Equipment:

• Small mixing bowl
• Spoon or small whisk

Instructions:

Step 1: Start with Your Mayo

1. Pour 300gm of mayo into your mixing bowl
2. This is your base — the same mayo that's made T's one of the best restaurants in Thamel

Step 2: Add the Mustard

1. Add 1 teaspoon of hot English mustard
2. This gives it the sharp kick that makes honey mustard memorable
3. Stir it in well
4. The mustard should be evenly mixed throughout

Step 3: Add the Honey

1. Add 4 teaspoons of honey
2. Stir slowly and completely
3. The honey balances the mustard's heat
4. This balance is what makes the best burger in Kathmandu taste balanced

Step 4: Taste and Adjust

1. Taste your honey mustard
2. Too sweet? Add a bit more mustard.
3. Too spicy? Add another teaspoon of honey.
4. Want more depth? Add ½ teaspoon more mustard.

You've now made honey mustard that tastes like it came from the best restaurant in Thamel.
