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.“

“I had the Nepali thali set with fish, jhol momo's, and the aalu chop. The entire meal was so delicious and fresh. The owner was so nice and gave us more side refills. The place is small but there's seating in the lower level. I was soo full and the meal was affordable. There is a bit of a wait time, but soo worth it. I will be coming back soon!“

“There were several tables available at 1p on a Saturday. We were able to sit a party of 5 immediately. We ordered 1 plate of 8 delicious fried beef momo's. The momo's are on the bigger side and had lots of juice/soup in the bites. Be careful of temperature! It came with sauces to accompany it with.“

“I’ve been to Nepali Bhancha Ghar before, and this definitely won’t be my last visit. One thing I really loved this time was the buff momo. I hadn’t had good buff momo in such a long time, and these really hit the spot. It was honestly one of the highlights of my meal.

Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the duck sekuwa. I started regretting my order almost as soon as it arrived, and after trying it, I was even more disappointed. It was very dry, and I found several bones and some parts that were quite burnt. It seemed like it may have been cooked directly over a high flame rather than slowly over hot charcoal, which I think made a big difference. Sekuwa, to me, should be juicy, smoky, and well seasoned, but this was unfortunately quite dry and lacking in flavor.

What made it more disappointing was the price. I had spent about an hour and a half of my wages on this dish, so it honestly felt pretty bad to spend that much on something I didn't enjoy. I still tipped the servers because I know the preparation of the food isn't their responsibility.

Interestingly, after coming home and reading some of the other reviews, I noticed similar comments about the chicken sekuwa. One review described it as “really dry and barely having any flavor,” which was almost exactly my experience with the duck sekuwa as well.

I’m sharing this more as a suggestion than a complaint. I really like this place and would still come back for the momo and other Nepali dishes, but I genuinely think the sekuwa needs some attention. Either the preparation method could be changed significantly, or perhaps this particular dish should be reconsidered for the menu. With the right smoky, juicy, well-seasoned preparation, I think the sekuwa could be something really special.

Overall, I appreciate the restaurant and the food, and I hope this feedback is taken in the spirit it's intended — as a suggestion from someone who wants to enjoy and support the place again.“

“O wow so delicious“

“Great experience overall. The food was really good. I ordered the paoze, and while it could’ve used a little more salt, it was still tasty. The service was what really made the visit stand out. The server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from start to finish. I’d definitely come back again, especially because of how great the service was.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This was our third time coming to Lali Guras, and we drove all the way from Virginia just to eat here again because the food and overall experience are truly worth it! The food is some of the best authentic Nepali cuisine we’ve had everything is fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. The customer service is also amazing, with such kind, welcoming, and attentive staff. I highly recommend the momo and the thali, they’re absolutely delicious! We already can’t wait to come back and would recommend Lali Guras to anyone looking for yummy Nepali food and outstanding hospitality.“

“I ordered the momos as an appetizer, and they quickly became the highlight of my meal. The filling was juicy and flavorful, while the wrapper had the perfect texture. They were served hot and tasted incredibly fresh. The quality and attention to detail were impressive. I will definitely be back for more.“

“This food truck serves some of the heartiest momo on the streets of Jackson Heights. We got 8 thick and meaty beef momo for $8 at Amdo Kitchen. The go-to sauces here are the red sauce and white sauce. The halal momo are complimented with a thicker, chewier dough than other momos - it takes me three bites to finish each one. Amdo Momo is a favorite for those looking for an authentic taste of Tibetan cuisine. Don't forget to ask for the side of radish!“

“The food is great. I have been eating at this spot for a couple of years. I stopped going when we got hit with the pandemic; now, I’m back.“

“What a great Chicken Taco customized to my liking. I am especially happy that Nadia who is the manager is so nice and always super helpful. When Nadia is there I can trust that my dinner will be exactly what I want. Such a great rep for Wonder!!“

“A True Gem, Incredible Thalis & Outstanding Service.

Himalayan Restaurant & Bar has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The food is absolutely phenomenal, especially the thalis. Every time I order one, I’m impressed by the variety, balance, and authenticity. The rice is perfectly cooked, the lentils and curries are rich and flavorful, the vegetables are fresh, and every small side adds something special to the plate. It’s a complete, satisfying meal that feels both comforting and thoughtfully prepared.

What truly makes the experience even better is the service. Prekshya is an excellent server, genuinely kind, attentive, and always welcoming. She has such a warm personality and makes you feel valued from the moment you walk in. She’s a sweetheart and goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect.

If you’re looking for authentic Himalayan flavors with beautiful presentation and heartfelt hospitality, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely keep coming back!“
