Bhaktapur's famous "king of yoghurts"
Juju Dhau — the "king of yoghurts" — is Bhaktapur's legendary sweetened curd, set in shallow clay pots that give it a creamy top layer and a faint earthy aroma. Made from buffalo milk boiled down until thick, sweetened and cultured overnight, it is served at Newari feasts and is practically synonymous with Bhaktapur itself. Nepali sweet shops and restaurants in Australia increasingly offer juju dhau-style yoghurt made locally.

A listing indicates that the business is associated with Juju Dhau, but recipes, portion sizes, fillings, spice levels and daily availability can differ. Contact the restaurant directly if you need vegetarian, vegan, halal or allergy-related information, and confirm whether the dish is available for dine-in, takeaway or delivery on the day you plan to order.
Ask how Juju Dhau is prepared, what accompaniments are included, and whether advance ordering is recommended for groups. Prices and menus can change, so treat directory details as a discovery guide rather than a guaranteed current menu. You can also browse all Nepali restaurants in Darwin or compare other Nepali dishes.
For catering or a large takeaway order, provide the number of guests and required collection or delivery time. Confirm quantities, packaging, reheating instructions, dietary labels and the final price in writing. This is especially useful when ordering several dishes for a shared meal or community event.
