description Introduction: The research aims to explore the nexus of globalization, authenticity, ethnic fusion, and the construction of cultural identity via the ethnic Nepali culinary enterprises in Finland. Methods: This study uses a qualitative approach to examine the complex intercultural phenomena within the ethnic Nepali restaurant. It employs face-to-face, in-depth semi-structured interviews and field observation as the data collection method. Results: The study uncovers a dual challenge faced by representatives of ethnic Nepali restaurants in Finland, the need for ethnic fusion to adapt their cuisines according to the local customer preferences which is necessary to survive in the local culinary market and preservation of ethnic authenticity which is one of the crucial cultural identity markers. It uncovers the diverse strategies adopted by them to cope with these dual challenges. Discussion: The findings suggest that ethnic Nepali restaurants in Finland are not only a means of sustenance; rather they play a central role in the negotiation and construction of ethnic Nepali cultural identity in Finland. Conclusion: Globalization impacts minority culinary practices in host countries significantly, however, such establishments can play a crucial role in the socio-economic integration of minority ethnic communities in the host settings by helping in the construction of cultural identity, and a sense of belongingness.
