Himalayan Restaurants near Flushing, NY

“Delicious food , clean, friendly staff“

“Best Jhol Momo and Mustang Aloo — a must-try! The Chicken Tikka Masala with garlic naan is chef’s kiss. Unreal. I never get pics because I dive in the moment it hits the table. My weekly go-to!“

“Great to have some solid momos in the area!
Came on a Saturday night and we sat down right away. The servers were very friendly and took the time to explain each part of the Thali we got.

Food:
- veg thali (4/5) - this is definitely a good bang for your buck, given that you can ask for refills. My favorite was the pea dish.
- veg jhol mojos (4.5/5) - nice deep flavor, the momos were solid. I’d be curious to try the chili ones and the fried ones next time.
- mango lassi (5/5) - everything you want mango lassi to be.

The vibe was pretty causal and they have a few tables for sit down“

“Just come here.

You know you've never had Bhutanese food before. You know you don't even know where Bhutan is. So stop pretending to consider, get on that 7 train, and come here. The trek only seems daunting because you don't know how hard actual Bhutan is to get to (seriously, look it up...it's mission impossible).

Get everything. If you can't, get these:

- Ema Datsi: The national dish of Bhutan. Crunchy peppers breaded in cheese. How can you not?

- Cheese Momo: Dumplings got a glow up, and now they come with dairy. Yes, please.

- Sikam Paa: If you like thinly sliced pork belly and daikon soaked in delicious chili sauces, you've found your dish here.

- Shakam Shukam Datsi: Like eating chunky beef jerky stir-fried in the best white chili sauce ever. What's white chili, precious? Come here and find out.

- Goep Paa: I assume that if you've come this far for this cuisine, beef tripe is not going to daunt you. Good. You've leveled up to this dish and can enjoy the most kiu kiu (chewy-tender) tripe this side of dim sum.

- Jangbuli: Maybe the one miss, for me. Stir-fried hand-pulled noodles in various seasonings. Great texture, not enough flavor. Bland, compared to its companions.

Oh yeah, they serve butter tea here--so if you've ever wondered what yak milk tastes like hot (it keeps me up most nights), you can enjoy a cup here for $3.

Small indoor seating, but now that it's warm times, they have several tables outside for parties of 2-4 that can be rearranged for bigger groups.“

“Was around the neighborhood when we stumbled into this beautiful, peaceful restaurant. Truly a wonder!! All the dishes we got were clean, cozy, and simply delicious.

Laphing was spicy and acidic, favorite of the evening. Thenthuk was warming and comfort in a bowl! Momo sauce really made the dish!!“

“We are so excited that this amazing Tibetan restaurant reopened in a new location after the original location burned down in February 2021. The support of the community helped make it possible for them to continue serving delicious food in Jackson Heights. It’s as good as we remember, and the staff members are so kind. Please support our favorite Tibetan restaurant if you have the chance. You won’t regret it! 🥰“

“Food was delicious.i always bring my guests who come from out of state here at Yak. Service is very nice too.“

“This place lives up to its name. my experience was so warm and inviting, the decor is absolutely social media worthy! I will be going back again and again!“

“Food 9/10
Those momos were so so juicy and BIG. I was shocked. I think this was the first time I’ve ever had momos, so I was in for a beautiful meal. Their friend momos were also good, but they were dumpling shaped rather than soup dumpling round shaped. Still good, but I preferred the steamed ones. Beware, their spice is truly spicy. We ordered the cold cucumber and also mung bean noodles, and both absolutely destroyed me in their explosive flavor but also deadly spice. I kept on wanting more but my tears were welling up and nose started sniffling. I think the owner / host saw me and it was kind of funny because she kept on refilling my water.

Atmosphere 8/10
A very homey local restaurant vibe in Elmhurst. Felt like a neighborhood restaurant, and I love that.

Service 8/10
Great service, nothing to complain about!“

“This place in Queens was such a wonderful find! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish packed with authentic Nepali flavors that felt like a true taste of home. Every bite was rich and satisfying, and you could tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The staff was also welcoming and attentive, which made the experience even better. If you’re craving real Nepali food, I highly recommend Red Panda—it’s a place that does justice to our amazing cuisine!“

“Best Momos in town..must try…👍🏻👍🏻“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Taste of Himalaya, and it was nothing short of an extraordinary experience. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with the warm, inviting aromas of authentic Himalayan spices, instantly transporting me back to the flavors of home.

The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with rich and complex flavors that perfectly balanced warmth and spice. The beef sukuti was a standout dish—perfectly seasoned, tender, and rich in flavor. It had that distinct smoky essence that brought back memories of traditional meals prepared with care and authenticity. The tingmo, a soft and fluffy steamed bread, was an ideal complement, perfect for soaking up the rich and savory flavors of the sukuti. The momo (dumplings) were also tender and flavorful, rounding out an exceptional meal.

What truly set this experience apart was how every bite evoked memories of home—family gatherings, celebrations, and the comforting sense of belonging. It’s rare to find a place that not only serves incredible food but also stirs the heart with a sense of nostalgia.

Taste of Himalaya is more than just a restaurant; it’s a culinary journey back home. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the true flavors of the Himalayas.“

“Beautiful environment,good food, good music,friendly environment, great service“

“Overall, it was pretty good. Chili chicken momos were really good and stayed crispy even when cooked in sauce. The garlic naan was fantastic and very well made. The vegetable thali was overall really good, but the dal was a little bland, in my opinion. They're very generous with the amount of rice they give you.

I was a little disappointed by the tandoori chicken. It was a little underseasoned, and one of the pieces was very overcooked and dry. The butter chicken was made well and tasted alright; it was too sweet/not savory enough for me. Too much added sugar, personally.

Service was good.“

“Loved coming here. Food is tasty and feels like home being in here. Customer service is amazing.“

“I usually don't review places that I love this much for fear that it will become overcrowded in time. But I also don't want this place to ever go out of business. Well, not the best Tibetan restaurant I've been to, it is very good, especially for the cost. A great addition to the neighborhood. The portions are adequate enough to leave satisfied, but if you're extremely hungry, you'll want some appetizers. Parking in the neighborhood is okay and it's literally next to the Q train. A true find and a hole in the wall that you'll walk by a few times before you realize it's there. Seating is limited and not recommended for large parties.

The servers are pleasant, but they should warn typical Americans expectations that the appetizers don't always come before the meal due to the cooking time.

Last I ordered The Mango Chicken, which was excellent and the vegan momos which weren't as flavorful as I would have hoped. The chili dishes are excellent.

Vegetarian options: There are plenty to choose from for vegetarians and vegans.

Parking: Street parking is adequate.“

“Great little spot for a mid-week dinner, especially if you like momos. It is tiny with only three tables but I didn’t have any problems. The service was super friendly and the food was excellent! I started with the wai wai sodheko, a dish I’ve not had before and it was so good. Like a crunchy instant noodle salad with lots of spices. And then the chef chili momos - also really good. And everything was really inexpensive. I’ll be back!“

“The food was absolutely delicious. So many New York restaurants have food from various countries, but you don’t feel like the vibe matches the food. Everything felt very authentic and friendly and a bit like I was eating in a family kitchen. Highly recommend!“

“Hands down the best Nepalese food I’ve ever had. Chicken momos were layered w flavor inside and had thin and flaky wrapping fried crisp, thalis were stacked w so many seriously delicious components. Fish curry was tender, fresh, and complex. Plain lassi was the perfect compliment to it all. The service was outstanding, extremely attentive and helpful. Will absolutely be returning!“

“Food was good and friendly customer service. I will recommend everyone this place.“

“Slow service because it's always busy!! Must try all their momo. Jhol Momo was my favorite, both chicken and goat. Perfect blend of spiced soup with the savory deliciousness of the momo. Think of it as a spicy soup dumpling. Their veg thupa was warm and delicious for a cold winter night, would recommend getting it with egg.
Fried rice and noodles weren't great - wouldn't recommend.
All their Thali's looked amazing as well!“

“We always come and get whole bag of Selroti when we visit NY. No other place makes sel like them. And if you have not had or know what Sel is it’s regarded as Nepali Dougnut but personally it’s something completely different. Chia and Sel combo is the best and this is the place to get.“

“Great addition to the neighborhood. Perfect for a date night. Delicious and inventive food and cocktails. The cocktails are soju based. We came for the a la carte menu and the standout dishes for us were the longgonisa, the momo, the trout, and number one was the pork belly. The rice it comes with is insanely good; I think you can order just the rice as a side. Get the rice and thank me later. Will definitely be returning for the tasting menu“

“It's good, but, since I am a Nepali and have tried their food back home, I'd say it's not the same as it was back home. But, then again, ingredients change the taste, so, I would say this place is worth trying and you never know you might love the food. :)“

“One of the best Tibetan food in Jackson Ht.“

“O wow so delicious“

“Very nice experience at Muna. The staff was very friendly, and accomodating. We had a food allergy at our table, and they were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in making sure we had appropriate options. Food was also very good, and of great value. Will return.“

“Family environment. delicious food and better service. I prefer to order my food in Spice and Grill“

“Healthy foods & nice services“

“I visited the Potala Fresh Food truck. These are my favorite momo in the city! The momo are so fresh and juicy you have to lean over the container or plate when you eat them, it’s that juicy! I typically get the beef but they have chicken and other varieties as well. I love that you can also order them frozen if you need a large amount for a home event.“
