The local food of Nepal consists of many things. The main dish is of rice (Bhat), lentils (Daal) and vegetables or meat. Hot, salty, sour pickle is a part of dish for taste. Sometimes it is wheat flour bread (roti or chapati) along with rice or in substitute of rice. Nepalese use mild to strong spices and red chilli in vegetables and meat. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian dish are same except meat which is serve in separate bowl. In Kathmandu, meat is usually of chicken, goat or buffalo. Depending upon the location and type of restaurant the price varies. The cost in an average restaurant for normal lunch or dinner (usually the content of Nepalese lunch and dinner is same, main dish as stated above) is NRs 100-250 (extra 50 to 100 for meat products). The food tastes like Indian or Mexican. Many foreigner like and praise Nepali food for the taste and energy balance.
There are some restaurants with typical Nepali food for tourists and they serve special vegetable items, local rice and local beverages prepared in typical Nepali style which may cost from Rs. 500-1000

If you love to eat spicy food, you can have them there in Nepal, too. Just simply eat a little of their dishes to slowly introduce them to you stomach. Spicy food can strengthen your veins. Just eat spicy ones only twice or thrice a week.
GOD BLESS YOUR TRIP!!!!!!

food costs in Nepal for Local food (bhat, daal, and vegetables & or meat items) can cost various depending upon where you choose to eat. If you are going to normal restaurants Kathmandu (most likely to the popular tourist destination area called Thamel) the food price is quite cheap. There are high end hotels & restaurants if you choose of course.

You can also try what is known as "Thakali food" if you are in Thamel of Kathmandu. This includes the normal daal bhat as well as other various items you can choose.

Then there is also the typical Newari cuisine you can try in Newari restaurants. These include spicy food such as "bara", "yomari", "Chatamari" and other spicy meat items.

In most places you can get quite a lot to try and eat at a few hundred rupees or a few dollars. (Currently 1 USD is about 70 rupees)

The food in Nepal is great! I think they have a lot of cheap resturants too, so cost shouldn't be a problem.
Oh and when you go to Kathmandu, don't forget to go to this place called "Naglo" in Durbar square (i think). That place was my personal favorite when i was there.

Most of the Nepal's food are similar to Indian food. They are spicy and made with lots of spices and are really good.
The foods there are really cheap. In some small restaurants, you can fill your tummy with yummy food for like just 60 rupees and
60 rupees=$1. Just imagine, for 1 US dollar, you could get food of your choice. Where else can you get food of your choice and as much as you want for $1?
