Meals are accompanied by drumming, singing, learning and leisure.
No one is denied food, no one is charged money, and all are encouraged to eat heartily.
Namaste, originally from Sanskrit, loosely means to pay homage to the inner light in all living things. This represents the purpose of Curry Without Worry™: feeding hungry people; doing so in a dignified manner; and encouraging peaceful coexistence.
Each meal costs $2, and is generally made up of 5 courses (see menu below). We are able to accept donations, every $2 donated equals one meal served!
While we desire to feed those people most in need of a hot meal, it is also our philosophy that hunger is not defined by an empty stomach. For this reason, Curry Without Worry is open to whomever hungers to join us. We hope that you soon join us as well.

Shrawan Nepali grew up at Paropakar Orphanage in Kathmandu, Nepal from age 8 till 16 after losing his grandma, YogaMaya Shrestha. After finishing high school, he worked as a supervisor to take care of 50-boys orphanage, while attending part-time college at Public Youth College, Kathmandu. He also worked at the International Buddhist Library in Swayembhunath. And then in 1985 he got an opportunity to pursue his higher education in the United States when his long time Peace Corp Volunteer brother John Paul sponsored his education at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, North Carolina. After getting his BA in Business Administration 1989, he moved to be closer to his another long time Peace Corp Volunteer brother Dave Fulton from San Francisco, CA who served in his village in Pyuthan, in Western Nepal during the late 1960s.
While working part-time at Tri-Valley Growers Corporation in San Francisco, CA as an accountant he ended up getting his MBA in International Business from Lincoln University in 1993. After his degree he kept on serving corporate America for 8 years. At Selective Media, San Francisco, CA, he worked as a controller from 1995- 1999., At Alternative Telecom, Berkeley, CA he worked as a controller from 1999-2001!
To give back to his native country Nepal, he left corporate world in 2001 to start a home to provide lasting home and education for some of the most underprivileged children of Nepal, thus he founded Ama Foundation. (www.ama-foundation.org)
With his love of cooking and bring friends together, as he calls if "human fire place" from the East and the West, with the help of friends from both parts of the World, he ended up founding Curry Without Worry™ in 2006.
He travels around the world to promote these two organizations and also leads his friends from the West to the spiritual and adventure journey of Nepal twice a year.
