About Dhokaima

Gateway to Ancient Patan

Dhokaima Cafe is placed right at the entrance of the ancient city of Patan, which was a walled city state. In fact, the eastern wall of Dhokaima was part of the old walls, and some of the evidence is seen in the exposed slim maa-apa bricks that date back to the Malla Period (1201-1779 CE).

Dhokaima as a name was created so that visitors need not add a preposition when saying, “Let us meet at Dhokai-ma!” (Let’s meet at the gate!) To say Dhokaima-ma (at-at the gate) would be redundant, thus saving us an extra syllable!
