If you’re missing the distinctive flavors of dishes from the cheel, you’re in luck. 

The Nepalese restaurant will be making an appearance during two pop-up dinner takeover events at The Daily Taco, 105 W Freistadt Rd in Thiensville on Dec. 10-11 and Dec. 17-18

Each pop-up dinner includes favorite dishes from lamb momo and shan noodles to wild boar and saffron cheesecake paired with cocktails.

Reservations for all dates are available online. Guests can choose from indoor seating, bar seating or outdoor heated patio seating for the event.

Curbside pick-up is also available for guests who would prefer to carry-out their meals. For curbside pick-up, guests are asked to call the restaurant at (262) 302-4030 on the day of the pop-ups. 

The full menu will be posted at thecheel.com starting on Dec. 10.
