“Wow was this place fantastic. Every single dish we tried was amazing. So many vegan options, so many gluten free options, still plenty of meat to keep your carnivores happy. The corn soup? Outstanding, subtly sweet with a rich texture. The veggie momos were exactly what every grocery store veggie dumpling wishes it were with a delicious spicy sauce to go along with it. The glass noodles were delicate and full of flavor and wonderfully crunchy vegetables. My tea drink with butter and salt was so rich and comforting I wish I lived above this place so I could drink it all winter long. Busy and for good reason. If you go here I am jealous of you bevause I want to go again 😭 Enjoy!“

“I had an amazing experience at this Nepali restaurant in New York City. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome with their warm hospitality and friendly service. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a relaxing atmosphere that made the dining experience even better.

The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic Nepali flavors. Every dish was freshly prepared, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. The momos were soft, juicy, and packed with flavor, while the chow mein and curry were cooked perfectly. The portions were generous, and the quality of the ingredients was excellent.

What impressed me the most was the attention to detail and the genuine care the staff showed to every customer. They were attentive, polite, and happy to answer questions or recommend dishes. It’s clear they take pride in serving authentic Nepali cuisine and providing outstanding customer service.

If you’re looking for real Nepali food in New York City, I highly recommend this restaurant. Whether you’re trying Nepali cuisine for the first time or you’re looking for flavors that remind you of home, this place is definitely worth visiting. I’ll be coming back again and recommending it to all my friends and family. Five stars all the way!“

“waiter was good food was too good.not expensive..like it“

“Got the butter chicken, dal makhani, and tandori chicken. The tandori chicken was very good. The butter chicken was also good but the chicken was a bit overcooked and tough. The dal was pretty good but not my favorite. The masala chai was ok a bit watery for me“

“An amazing Restaurant with variety of cuisine.“

“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!“

“Elevated yet approachable, with spot-on attention to detail. Creative cocktails and draft beer. Seasonal and unique take on traditional cuisine, and on top of it all, truly genuine hospitality. Muchas gracias, Ravi, Maddie and Gloria. You are absolutely killing it here.“

“this place is the hidden gem of williamsburg. I discovered it a few weeks ago on grubhub and have ordered it multiple times a week ever since. why am I not sick of it? I crave it constantly. the momos are to die for. how do they get the chicken korma so juicy??? I want 100 beef paratha always. thank you for existing.“

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

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

“So yummy! The food is so good but definitely on the lighter side flavor wise which i didn’t expect. Was very satisfied nonetheless! If you like a little more spice I added the red sauce from the Bara onto my Momo Chicken dumplings and it was 🔥“

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

“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!“

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

“We had a wonderful dining experience here, and a huge part of that was thanks to Geeta! She is an incredible waitress always smiling, super friendly, and highly attentive. She constantly made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. We will definitely be back!“

“A truly memorable dining experience thanks to the incredible momos. They were fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Every bite was packed with delicious filling and paired wonderfully with the house sauce. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommended.“

“Stumbled upon this hidden gem in Jersey City, and must say it was out of this world!! The veg chili momo was delicious and felt homemade . The service was also good. Will be coming back again soon 😋“

“Visited from Ohio - got recommended this place from a local. The chicken momo and the crispy gobi were incredible. Really enjoyed the food and the service.

(Shoutout to Jonathan from College Point for the recommendation!)“

“Best Momos in town..must try…👍🏻👍🏻“

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

“Weekender is the best spot for home cooked Bhutanese food! Taste and vibe reminds you of home and family, and it is a precious community space in Qns so show them love and spread the word 🤎🇧🇹🤎“

“this was my first time eating at Nangma and I enjoyed my experience. The workers were very attentive and handled our food with care. The crispy mala fish was one of my favorite dish there. I would definitely be returning to this restaurant.“

“O wow so delicious“

“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.“

“i’ve been coming here since 2014 and it’s by far one of my favorite places in the neighborhood. they used to close for lunch but are open all the way through service now and it’s soooo good. the milk tea is really good, i love the ginger tofu, the garlic noodles, and sha falay. go it’s the best. it’s cash only!“

“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 had a wonderful experience hosting our running group event at Arya Café. Everything was handled professionally and smoothly from start to finish — exactly how it needed to be for a large group.

The food was delicious, the service was organized and welcoming, and our huge group of runners left truly satisfied and happy.

Thank you to the Arya Café team for the great cooperation and for helping make the event such a success. We’re looking forward to coming back and working together again in the future!

“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.“

“We always go to Red Panda Restaurant, and it never disappoints! I’ve tried the beef, pork, fried fish, and lollipop chicken—all were really good. The beef jerky is also really good.
My favorite is the vegetable thali. I absolutely love it—so flavorful and satisfying every time.
Definitely one of my go-to spots!“

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

“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.“

“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. :)“

“First time trying Tibetan liang fen and Lhasa Liang Fen did not disappoint. The liang fen was refreshing, spicy, and packed with bold flavors. The momos were juicy and comforting, and every dish felt authentic and full of character. Generous portions and reasonable prices.“

“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.“

“My first Ramen , traditional japanese! So amazing!“

“Wonder Nepali Cusin in NY“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious food , clean, friendly staff“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Delish good. Friendly service. Excellent prices.“

“The chicken momos here are sooo good. It comes with the soup even if you don’t ask for it, which makes the experience of eating momos here much better. Of course you can request them to not add the soup in though. Also, the bubble tea here is really really good. It tastes exactly how the fruit is supposed to taste (ex: lychee bubble tea does taste like lychee). Since it mostly just serves bubble tea and momos, I’ve only tried those and giving feedback for them. Service is great, they’re so respectful and nice to you. Atmosphere gets 4 stars because the place isn’t always comfy. The pricing is great too.“

“Soups momo was so good“

“What I usually get here are the samosas. There seems to be two main types, chicken and vegetables (potato and peas). They're $1.50 each (which is a steal!) and are generously sized!!

The chicken samosas are crunchy, and the mix of flavors, ingredients, and spices mesh extremely well. My Bengali friends say the chicken samosas are as good as it gets which may be true, but maybe it's not quite mind blowing enough for me to give anything higher than 8.5/10 - still one of the best samosas I've had to be sure

The vegetable samosas are different in a few ways. To start these samosas aren't as crunchy, and the filling tastes a little more spiceful and flavorful compared to the chicken variation. The texture is definitely more mushy because of the potato filling, but still good. 8/10.

There's a ton of good looking Bengali food at this joint so I'm definitely curious to try more but the samosas here are bomb!“

“I ordered mutton Taas, dindo mutton thali and khuwa yomari. I was surprised to taste such a delicious Taas ever in my life, not even while in Nepal. I would recommend to try mutton taas for sure. Dhindo thali was amazing too but taas won it. Yomari is my another favourite desert, coming from the same community where this is a separate festival "Yomari purni", i ordered it all the times when I am here.“
